There is little known of the history of the original church in Firbeck which is now dedicated to St Martin but was previously called St Peter's. It was reported as being in good repair in 1786. The old church was demolished and rebuilt for Henry Gally Knight in 1820. A north aisle was added in 1844 and further extension took place in 1887 when Rev. Jebb, of Firbeck Hall, rebuilt the chancel opened out the north aisle and re-roofed the nave. A new tower was added by Mrs Jebb in 1900.
