There has been a church on this site since 1225 when the woodcutters of the Royal Forest of the Peak received permission to build a chapel in a clearing in the forest. Parts of the church’s foundations, the lower sections of its walls and the piscine probably date from the original building, but the rest of the church is mainly 14th century.
