History
[edit]It was first opened in 1937 to the design of Edward Heazell in the Byzantine style. The church was consecrated by the Bishop of Southwell Re Revd Henry Mosley on 6 February 1937.[1]

The church provides food provisions through the Nourish Sherwood Project, Jolly Tots for Toddlers, and Bumps to Babies in midweek. Worship happens at 8:30 and 10:30 most Sundays with "Unplugged worship" at 18:00 often on the fourth Sunday of the month.
