[1][2] The West front of the church, the oldest surviving part of the building, is dated from around 1160 - 1170.

At the Reformation the eastern part of the church, which served the monastic community, was demolished along with the priory buildings.

The chancel and sanctuary were replaced in 1866 by George Edmund Street funded by Sir Oswald Mosley (4th baronet and grandfather of the fascist politician).

Indoors, the church has a memorial to George Robinson (d. 1837) by Joseph Hall of Derby.

The church has an organ by William Hill & Son in 1860, which was rebuilt by Lloyd of Nottingham, Adkins of Derby in 1937 and Poyser, Adkins' successor, in 1980.
