History

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]

Stained glass

There is stained glass in the chancel by Charles Eamer Kempe and in the north aisle by Alexander Gascoyne.

Organ

The earliest mentions of organs is from 1835 when one is recorded in the churchwardens accounts. A new organ was purchased in 1855 from Henry Bevington of London.[5] This was kept until the end of the 20th century. The current organ was acquired from St Catharine's Church, Nottingham in 2003. It was installed in the church by Henry Groves & Son in 2004.[6]

Clock

An early clock was installed in 1680 by Richard Roe.[7] This was replaced in 1880 by a new clock mechanism by G. & F. Cope of Nottingham.
