"The church clock is by Smiths of Derby and faces west and north. It is in running order and the faces were restored in 1995.
It is believed that the Church was built around the time of Henry II (1154 to 1189) when it comprised the existing Chancel, central Nave, north aisle and the bell tower (without a spire). The period is Early English.
The Bell Tower (early 14th Century) contains a peal of 5 Bells and has additional space for a sixth Tenor. The recessed spire was rebuilt and heightened in 1862 with battlements at the base."
