The church was consecrated by the bishop of Southwell in 1912 and became part of the diocese of Derby in 1926. In 1987 it became a joint Anglican/Methodist Church. (1) Religious services were originally held in a room above a builder's workshop on Elnor Street. When this room became too small, a temporary iron church was put up on the corner of Elnor Street in 1895 [see SMR 16029]. When, in turn, this structure became too small, the building of St Andrew's Church began. The foundation stone was laid in 1911, with the church dedicated in 1912.
