History

The chapel of St. Mary dating from 1459 became the parish church when St. Peter's Church, Flawford nearby was demolished in 1773. [2]

The church was repaired in 1718, and was rebuilt in 1824 at a cost of £1,100 (equivalent to £102,982in 2021), [3] except the chancel and steeple, which are the only remaining parts of the ancient fabric. In 1773 its burial ground was consecrated, and enclosed with part of the materials of Flawford church. [4]

Except for the tower, the rest of the church was rebuilt by Bell and Roper of Manchester. Work started on 1 June 1887 [5] and the new church costing £12,000 (equivalent to £1,420,000in 2021) [3] was consecrated by Rt. Revd. George Ridding, Bishop of Southwell, on 1 November 1888. [6]

It is thought that the font comes from the medieval church at Flawford.
