It is uncertain how long there has stood a church on this site but "The Buildings of England, Nottinghamshire" makes reference to the later church emanating "From the original medieval structure"[1] The Anglican parish register has records dating from 1539.

The old church was in a poor state of repair and neglect when the Robertsons acquired the estate and was rebuilt in 1832.

The remaining spire was then removed and the church rebuilt yet again at a cost of £10,000 in the period 1888–1895.

[3] During the civil war two soldiers that were killed at the Battle of Willoughby Fields nearby were buried in the graveyard.

To each side of the pillars inside of the south door are carved head ornaments, one of a lion and the other a bull.
