The church is Grade II listed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport as it is a building of special architectural or historic interest.

The church was described in the Derby Mercury of 6 August 1856 as of the style called early decorated, and consists of a nave, two aisles, chancel, tower and spire, and a small porch on the south side.

The roofs are high pitched, the walls of the nave being surmounted by a cornice ornamented with carved gothic patterns, that on each side of the chancel consisting of an open parapet similar to that which runs along the summit of the tower.

The arcade which supports the nave is plain and substantial, the arches springing from strong octagon pillars, the capitals of which are but slightly ornamented.

The pulpit and reading desk, situated on the north-west and south-west angles of the chancel are of wood, supported on wrought iron work.

The architect selected by the bishop to execute the work is Mr. Henry Isaac Stevens, of Derby, on whom the building reflects the highest possible credit.The church suffered some embarrassment in September 1866 when the incumbent, Rev.

Jeremiah Pool, the clerk, was examining the floor at the west end of the church with a wax taper, when the explosion took place.
