It was designed by Louis Ambler, who built a number of other Nottinghamshire churches. His original drawings show a tower and spire, though these were never built.

The interior is neo Romanesque in style, using brick arches and stone columns. A large piece of coal, along with several mining tools, was brought from Clipstone Colliery to remember the church’s association with coal mining. Originally it was placed at the eastern end of the miners chapel extension, but now lies in the north aisle on a railway truck which relayed it to the church on a specially constructed temporary railway.

The former chancel is now a miners chapel and has a set of kneelers depicting mining links old and new.
