The foundation stone was laid on 27 July 1901 by the Duke of Portland, who donated £2,000 of the total cost of over £5,000. The church was consecrated on 23 May 1903 by the Bishop of Southwell. A Lady Chapel was designed by E Watkinson and built between 1936 and 1937, entirely by voluntary spare time labour of craftsmen and helpers of the congregation.
