Overview
Historic England records a parish church of the fourteenth, fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, with work of 1693, restorations of 1855 and 1877 probably by T. C. Hine, further work in 1886, and a tower restoration in 1892. Fabric is dressed coursed rubble and ashlar under slate roofs, with parapets and coped gables. The plan is a tower with spire, nave, south aisle, south porch and chancel. The fourteenth-century single-stage tower is embattled and angle-buttressed, with an attached circular stair turret; the early-fifteenth-century spire has lucarnes.
The Nottinghamshire HER, following Pevsner, dates the unaisled chancel and south arcade to the late fourteenth century, a clerestory of different rhythm to the fifteenth, and the ashlar west tower to the Bunny type of the later fourteenth century. The porch was added in 1693. Wikipedia records nave-roof and parapet repairs of 1931–34 by Charles Marriott Oldrid Scott, architect, and Thomas Long, builder. Notable monuments include Sacheverell tombs, among them William and Tabitha Sacheverell (he d. 1616). There is a Jacobean pulpit.
