The church now serves much of Carlton Hill and Bakersfield areas, with only one very small part of the parish being in Sneinton.

[1] Construction work started in 1934 and the building was consecrated by Henry Mosley, the Bishop of Southwell on 15 May 1935.

The estimated cost was £8,500 (equivalent to £745,300 as of 2023),[2], most of which came from the Diocese of Southwell from the sale of the site of the former St. Paul's Church, George Street, Nottingham.

Whilst it plays the fullest possible part in the life of the Diocese, it is under the Episcopal care of the Bishop of Beverley.

The font's original location is thought to have been Saxondale chapel, which was part of Shelford Priory.
