The church was mostly built in 1856 with the north porch added in c.1906 in the Gothic Revival style. Placed on 'At Risk' register in 2014 category 'A'. It is a large church in the centre of Mansfield Town. Many slates are missing and the roof is clearly suffering from nail fatigue. The extreme height and difficult approach to the nave roof, even with specialist equipment make this difficult and a burden to the parish. Repairs include nave, chancel, vestry and both north and south aisles require replacing,  including the lead gutters, refurbishment of rainwater goods internal re-plastering and redecoration to ceilings.
