One doesn't normally expect 2 benchmarks on the same building, although another exists on the south wall of (vestry) which lies in the angle between the chancel and south transept.
"The church is Grade II listed by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport as it is a building of special architectural or historic interest. The parents of D.H. Lawrence married in the church on 27 December 1875.
The church dates back to medieval times, and was served from Lenton Priory. From the Dissolution of the Monasteries the church was served mostly by clergy from St. Mary's Church, Nottingham until it became a parish is its own right in 1866.
The current building dates from 1837 and it was designed by Thomas Rickman and built by W. Surplice of Nottingham. It was one of the earliest Gothic Revival buildings in Nottinghamshire."
