By the 1860s the needs of the growing population and the increasing number of visitors to Harrogate meant that a new church was needed. The main architect for the new church was J H Hirst of Bristol, who was also responsible for many of the buildings in Harrogate town centre. In October 1876 the new Church of St Peter's was consecrated, with Canon Lundy Foote as the first vicar.
