History

The church is medieval but was heavily restored between 1876 and 1878 by Ewan Christian. The tower of the church was used by Royalists during the siege of Shelford Manor during the English Civil War, but they were smoked out by Parliamentarian forces.

It is now part of the united parish of St. Mary's Church, Radcliffe on Trent.

Stained glass

There is stained glass in the chancel by Charles Eamer Kempe and in the north aisle by Alexander Gascoyne.

Organ

The organ was acquired from St. Catharine's Church, Nottingham in 2003.
