History

The church dates from the 13th century. It was restored in 1853 and 1879. It is built of Epperstone stone, with Mansfield stone for the windows and arcade. Services are held regularly for the parishioners. There is also a graveyard, with a number of headstones.

The end window of the aisle, the small buttress on the north wall and the doorway beside it all appear to belong to the early years of the 14th century. Later in the 14th century the arcade, tower and spire were built, the tower being inserted into the west end of the nave. The larger buttresses on the north side were also added, and the nave wall was heightened. The nave roof is 17th century work.

The church serves a joint parish with:
