History

The medieval chapel was enlarged and altered in 1746 when a low porch and west gallery were erected. In 1826 another gallery was erected over the communion table to accommodate the singers. It was rebuilt by the architect T H Rushforth of London and reopened on 16 June 1864. The contractor was Charles Humphreys of Derby.

Transepts were added between 1904 and 1910.
