The church is of medieval style and era but was heavily restored between 1876 and 1878 by Ewan Christian.[2] The tower of the church was used by then Royalists during the siege of Shelford Manor during the English Civil War, but they were eventually defeated out by Parliamentarian forces.[3]
It is now part of the united parish of St. Mary's Church, Radcliffe on Trent.[4]

It was installed in the church by Henry Groves & Son in 2004.[6]
