Grade I Listed Building
The earliest records of a church at this site refer to a “living” at Keyworth, between 1130 and 1167AD. The presence of a Norman font in the south aisle and a medieval sundial featured on the south wall support these early origins. The earliest listed incumbent was Hugo de Barri (1268)
The main parts of the present building were constructed in the early 14th century, from local stone. The most notable feature is the 15th century square tower, the upper part of which incorporates an unusual octagonal lantern an squat spire, unique in Nottinghamshire. The tower contains an Elizabethan bell which, according to local traditions celebrates the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588AD.
