Although there is evidence of a much earlier church on the site in Sudbrooke, the present church building was constructed between 1860 and 1862, having been designed by Dobson of Newcastle. It is essentially a copy of the church at Steetley in Derbyshire with its vaulted apse, nave, chancel, south porch and a bell in the western gable. Lincoln banker, Richard Ellison, had left £2000 for this rebuilding in his will. The Ellisons occupied Sudbrooke Holme, a large house that was later demolished during the 1920s, and had been located in what is now called Sudbrooke Park. The church is built in the Norman Revival style; the West end has two corner buttresses and a central one, flanked by single windows.
An interesting feature is the many stone carvings of heads, many grotesque, that can be seen around the church and the stained glass windows.
