History
The first record of a church in Trowell is from 801, when a wooden church was built. The present Early English chancel was built in 1080, and the Domesday Book says "Here is a priest and half a church and six acres of meadow." The Church of England parish of Trowell is part of a benefice with St Peter's Church, Awsworth and St Catherine's Church, Cossall within the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham.
Architecture
The sandstone building consists of a three-bay nave, two-bay chancel, three-bay north and south aisles and a porch on the south side. The two-stage west tower has a crenelated parapet and is supported by four corner buttresses. The stained glass includes a window by Charles Eamer Kempe. The octagonal font dates from the 15th century.
