The church was built between 1838 and 1840 to designs by the Derby architect, Henry Isaac Stevens. The chancel was added in 1866 by James Piers St Aubyn. The church was consecrated by George Davys, Bishop of Peterborough on 13 August 1840. It was reported that:
The Marquess of Hastings gave land for the site. The cost of the building, upwards of £3000., together with a handsome sum towards an endowment fund, was raised by subscription, chiefly among the inhabitants aided by a grant from the Church Building Society.
