History
The church dates from the 11th century, but is mostly 14th and 15th century. The roofs were raised in the 16th century. A restoration took place in 1871 by Robert Evans of Nottingham where the old box pews were replaced with new seating, and choir stalls were provided. The west gallery was removed. The floor was laid with boards under the seating, red quarry tiles in the aisles, and May and Co encaustic tiles laid in the chancel. The south aisle roof was re-leaded. The Rector provided a small stained glass window featuring St Michael, which was designed and installed by Heaton, Butler and Bayne. It was restored between 1895 and 1899 by Robert Evans and Son who also added a new vestry. The contractor was C Baines of Newark.
