[1] The parish church was of medieval origins; transferred to the Abbot of Derby in 1240 by Sir Rafe de Freshville.

[2] The chancel collapsed on 17 August 1856[3] which prompted the building of the new church starting on 1857.

Below the royal arms of Queen Anne on the east wall of the north aisle, there was some wrought ironwork possibly by Robert Bakewell, with repoussé ironwork, including a trumpet-bearing angel.

The new church had two stained-glass windows at the east end of the aisles by Gibbs and Co of London.

The church closed in 1977, and was converted into office premises and is used by Lathams.
