The porch of the church dates from the 12th century, but is mostly 14th and 15th century. A restoration was carried out in 1880 by the architects Richard Herbert Carpenter and Benjamin Ingelow of London. The contractor was Rollinson of Saltergate, Chesterfield. The Lady chapel exterior walls were restored and the tracery in the East window was renewed. The floors in the nave were relaid at a lower level and refloored in stone. The chancel was laid with Minton encaustic tiles. The seating was renewed with oak pews. It was reopened by the Bishop of Lichfield on 13 December 1880. The east window of the chancel was fitted with a stained glass in memory of the Rector’s wife, and was executed by Clayton and Bell. The church is noted for three 14th century reliefs: The Martyrdom of St Lawrence at the east end of the south aisle; The Annunciation in the Vestry; Christ in Majesty with the Virgin and Angels.

The tunnel was built by the North Midland Railway to carry its line under the town. The North Portal is in stone, and consists of an elliptical arch with rounded mouldings, over which is an embattled parapet. The arch is flanked by tapering octagonal columns with moulded string courses, slit and arrow windows, and embattled parapets.

Between the two roundabouts a delightful, enclosed "hidden" footpath. Seperate to the tarmac bridleway, running alongside the A61 Derby Road

Nice high-speed drop-off jump (with chicken line) big enough for much fun but not so big as to be dangerous
