History
The church dates back to medieval times, and was served from Lenton Priory. However, the current building dates from 1837 and it was designed by Thomas Rickman. It was one of the earliest Gothic Revival buildings in Nottinghamshire.
The church was extended between 1909 and 1912 and G.C. Hare to designs by George Frederick Bodley.
