The church dates from the 11th century but the existing structure is mainly thirteenth century and contains Saxon and Norman work.[2] The church was restored in 1838 and the chancel was restored in 1865 at the expense of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
More substantial work was carried out in 1889 at a cost of £2,000 (equivalent to £240,000 in 2021).[3] The old oak roofs which were in a dilapidated condition were repaired. The lead covering of the roof was reworked. The two western main bays of the nave roof which were at a lower level than the others were re-fashioned in oak to correspond in pitch to the altered position of the structure. The floors through the nave and aisles were renewed and underneath the seating were in wood block on a concrete foundation. The aisles were in red tiles on concrete. One block of solid square old oak benches which were preserved. The old high deal pews were replaced with square oak benches. The ground floor of the tower was paved with wood blocks on concrete in preparation for its future use as a vestry. The three tower bells were rehung by John Taylor and Co of Loughborough in a new bell frame. Two new floors were formed in the tower.[4] The church reopened on 23 October 1889[5] by the Bishop of Southwell.
In 1911 more work was undertaken when a new chapel floor was inserted and the table replaced by a new altar. New altar rails were provided, the choir stalls were repaired and the stone screen was restored. New heating was installed in the nave and chancel, and the old parch was also restored.[6]

A new organ by Timothy Russell of Gray's Inn, London, with a great manual and tenor C swell manual with one and one-third octaves of pedals was installed in 1838[8] lasted until 1905.
The pipe organ dates from 1906 when a new organ was installed by Harrison and Harrison on the south side of the chancel costing £320 (equivalent to £36,600 in 2021).[3] It was dedicated by the Bishop of Southwell on 12 November 1906.[9] Details of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[10]
The parsonage house dates from 1822 to 1824 and was designed by Henry Moses Wood.[14]

There is a ring of 8 bells in G with the Tenor weighing 9-3-4 cwt (497 kg). The Tenor is the oldest bell dated 1591; 6 and 7 are dated 1625 and 1658 respectively. There were 3 bells (2 of them dated 1612) that were lent to Long Eaton Church by the Rev. S. Hey, however it is believed these were broken up when a 6 bell ring was installed there in 1875.
