St. Mary's Wollaton Park was designed by the architect Thomas Cecil Howitt and was opened in 1939.

In December 2024, a Bishop Disciplinary Tribunal found that the Revd Henry Curran's conduct was unbecoming or inappropriate to the office and work of a clerk in Holy Orders.

At his time at St Mary's he exhibited coercive and controlling behaviour, showed an unacceptable lack of self-control in failing to control his anger towards parishioners and failed to put in place and/or maintain appropriate professional and pastoral boundaries by allowing incidences of inappropriate nudity to take place.

The organ was built by J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd in 1938.

The instrument has been erected in a divided position at the west end of the church, the detached console being placed at rear of the choir stalls on the south side of the chancel.
