The church dates from the 13th century. It was restored in 1853 and 1879. It is built of Epperstone stone, with Mansfield stone for the windows and arcade. Services are held regularly for the parishioners. There is also a graveyard, with a number of headstones. The end window of the aisle, the small buttress on the north wall and the doorway beside it all appear to belong to the early years of the 14th century. Later in the 14th century the arcade, tower and spire were built, the tower being inserted into the west end of the nave. The larger buttresses on the north side were also added, and the nave wall was heightened. The nave roof is 17th century work.

The church has Norman origins, a retained doorway, albeit reset, shows the Romanesque style of that period. The western tower was first built in the 13th century and shows early English Gothic styling amended by a Perpendicular refit. The bulk of the church is 14th century and Decorated in style, the chancel being the showpiece for this era. Built in the mid-14th century its five-light eastern window complete with flowing tracery is the centrepiece of the church. The latest part, in the late 14th century are the nave arcades which show the early Perpendicular style and are contemporary with the upgrade to the tower. As with most churches some restoration took place in the 19th century but in this case it was sensitive and did not remove much historical detail.

The Church has a history dating back to the 11th century, with significant structural changes throughout the centuries. While the Domesday Book doesn't explicitly mention a church, evidence suggests Norman stonework and possible Saxon artifacts exist within the current structure. Evidence points to a possible Saxon presence, with Norman stonework in the chancel and artifacts of Saxon origin. The nave and chancel were added in the 12th century. The late 14th-century tower intrudes into the early 14th-century nave, reducing it from four bays to three and a half.

St Wilfrid’s church seems to date, for the most part, from the fourteenth century, when it may have been reconstructed with material from an older building. The nave and tower were rebuilt in 1760-3 and over the west door is a commemorative stone ‘ Mr. Pugh, Vicar, Saml. Pugh, Ino.Barrett, Church Wardens, Wm.Barrett, mason’. In 1835 the chancel was reconstructed and in 1881 the whole church was restored.

A memorial located in Watchwood Plantation, Calverton, honours the memory of three Polish airmen who perished in a crash there. On October 13, 1940, a Polish air crew from the 300 Mosovian Squadron, who were fighting for the Allies, were returning to their UK base at RAF Swinderby. After a successful bombing mission, their damaged "Fairey Battle" aircraft came down in Calverton, resulting in the instant deaths of the three men. The memorial commemorates pilot Flight Lieutenant Jan Gebicki, rear gunner Sergeant Edward Morawa, and wireless operator Sergeant Tadeusz Egierski.
