Overview
Grid reference: SK 555 401
The church is a straightforward routine work of its period, unfinished both at the east end and on the tower; there are some Arts and Crafts details. The tower was placed at the north-west corner in order to gain maximum advantage from the corner of the site, but since in its present form it is only two storeys high, it cannot be said to be a feature of the townscape of the area.

Building
Ground Plan Description and Dimensions
Ground plan:
Four-bay aisled nave with clerestory; north-west tower; chancel with vestries on the north side.
Description of Archaeology and History
The architect is not known; the foundation stone was laid by the Mayor of Nottingham on 3rd November 1892. The chancel was not built according to the original design, but a small sanctuary was added in 1960 by Vernon Royle (Diocesan Surveyor).
Exterior Description
The church is a straightforward routine work of its period, unfinished both at the east end and on the tower; there are some Arts and Crafts details. The tower was placed at the north-west corner in order to gain maximum advantage from the corner of the site, but since in its present form it is only two storeys high, it cannot be said to be a feature of the townscape of the area. The lower stage forms the main porch of the building and has a double doorway in the north wall, the arches each with a cinquofoiled head and, together with a quatrefoil above, being contained within a moulded-two centred arch. This stage is lit by a window in the west wall, and the upper stage has a single lancet in the north, west and east faces. The stump is capped by a low pyramidal slate roof.
The west front of the nave has three tall lancet lights of virtually identical dimensions, each with a little frill of stone tracery at the top. Higher in the gable is a quatrefoil light within a roundel and the kneelers are carved with stone busts of considerable spirit. The gable is capped by a foliated cross upon a stopped base. There are no buttresses (indeed, there are none anywhere in the building), and the north aisle west wall has a single lancet light with a trefoiled head. The north and south flanks of the church are quickly described, the aisle walls with pairs of lancets to each bay and the clerestory with two pairs of trefoil-headed lancets to each bay. The short chancel added in 1960 is of grey brick and has tall rectangular windows in the north and south walls and the east wall, which is blind, is relieved by a cross executed in paler brickwork and raised slightly from the wall surface. A single bell hangs on a bracket on the south chancel wall.

Interior
Interior Description
The interior wall surfaces the faced with exposed red brick, the arcades and chancel arch being of reddish-brown stone. The arcades are of simple pattern the moulded arches carried on alternately round and octagonal pillars. The alleys are tiled and the pews stand on timber boards. Entrance is by the porch at the foot of the projected tower, and the inner doorway has corbels carved as the symbols of the four evangelists. The panelled roof has hammerbeans at each bay with pierced tracery in the spandrels which forms one of the best features of the building; these, odly, are set above the arches while the intermediate bays, above the pillars, have simple arch braces. The mouldings round the arches of the arcades meet above ench pillar at a carved stone head.
The chancel is small and simple with a panolled roof and windows to north and south; the chancel arch, which is carried on attached semi-circular colonettes has vigorously carved dragons where the capitals return on the west face. Because of the smallness of the sanctuary, the choir is accommodated in the east bay of the nave, two stops above the nave floor level, and the organ stands in the east bay of the south aisle.
