It is situated on the corner of Heneage Road and Wellington Street in the town centre.

[1] In 1858, Sir John Sutton, a local landowner bought the site for the church, but died before building on it started.

On 19 August 1883, the church was opened by the Bishop of Nottingham, Edward Bagshawe.

[4] The church has some stained-glass windows designed by the studio Hardman & Co.[4] In 1908, wall paintings were added to the sanctuary.

Other paintings were added in the 1930s, such as a dado frieze depicting fish that went along the interior perimeter of the church.
