It's kind of hard to be sure because it's a style that was around for a long time with only subtle changes in style. I would need a profile to be sure, but I think this is a prewar example - late 30s. The cotton laces are typically pre 50s - they are usually nylon after about 1950.

The decoration on the vamp does look 1930's, but apart from this many characteristics of their manufacture remain the same on my 3 examples of 1950's - 60's Church shoes, 2 of which have the same logo as yours. Church shoes are very very classic so it can be deceptive. Unless it was a price you removed, the sticker remains on the sole of your shoe would make me wary that might have been a early leather symbol sticker as I have found several times on mid to late 1960's shoes.
Church have retained their records and were very helpful when I contacted them regarding my pairs, they can read the codes inside which say in which factory they were made amongst other things. This was the e-mail address I contacted: [email protected]
