The church is medieval. The south porch was added in 1636. The south aisle was rebuilt in 1760, and the north aisle rebuilt in 1763 by Sir Richard Arkwright. Arkwright was initially buried at this church before his remains were removed to the family chapel (now St Mary's Church, Cromford) near the home he began for himself at Willersley Castle after the latter building's completion in 1797.
