History

The church was originally built between 1911 and 1913. The original place of worship was in a small room above a builder's workshop on Elnor Street. It soon proved too small and builder J S Brocklesby was asked to build a new church for the congregation. At a cost of £8,000 (£780,056.08 in 2024 with inflation). [4] The church was built in an unusual Arts and Crafts style which was quite unusual for a church at the time as they were often built in Gothic Revival and Victorian Style. The church was finally built in 1913, a year prior it was consecrated by the Bishop of Southwell. In 1926, it became part of the Diocese of Derby. It became a joint Methodist and Anglican church in 1987. A year later, it was listed as Grade II by Historic England. The listing entry quotes the following:

Today, it remains an active place of worship [5] [6] and lies close to Derbyshire's border with Nottinghamshire. The Erewash Valley Line passes by the church and serves the nearby railway station at Langley Mill.
