History
The foundation stone was laid on 24 October 1871 and the church was consecrated on 26 July 1872 by the Bishop of Lichfield. It was 95 ft long, 26 feet wide and 50 ft to the apex of the roof. It was built of Spondon best red brick, with stonework only for the pillars of the arcades and tracery of the clerestory windows. The architect was F.W. Hunt of London and the contractor was Robert Bridgart of Derby. Mears and Stainbank of London provided a bell weighing nearly 6 cwt.
After Father Michael Brinkworth retired in 2006 the church was unable to find a replacement priest and the church closed in 2013. It reopened after just over one year after the PCC were able to find volunteer clergy to perform services every two weeks.
