The churchyard and church date from 1855 and was built due to the increase in the local population. Church is built from local stone on land given by the 5th Earl Fitzwilliam and is GradeII Listed. First burial was in September 1855. In 1901 the Fitzwilliam family donated more land. This increased the churchyard which is now very large and looked after by volunteers. Near to the church is a freestanding white Christian Cross which seems to date from the the time when the church was built.
Nearby to the cross is a plot where ashes are laid to rest.
There are six Commonwealth war graves here.
