History
editThe church was built in a Decorated style in 1861-63 by T. C. Hine and Robert Evans for the fifth Duke of Newcastle.[1] The Foundation stone was laid on 18 October 1861 (St Luke's day) by the Prince of Wales who was staying at Clumber Park with Henry Pelham-Clinton, 5th Duke of Newcastle.[2]
The church was dedicated on the same day in 1863[3] by the Bishop of Lincoln, Rt. Revd John Jackson.[4]
Originally the church had a spire but this was removed in 1975.[3]
