Built on former common land in 1789 following Ecclesall Enclosure Award of 1788 (Fairbank) to replace a medieval chapel of ease. Remodelled 1843. Hunter relates that "the site chosen was a little removed from the old chapel, on a spot called Carter-Knoll" (Hunter 1869, 349). Polygon includes modern church hall which appears to incorporate an earlier building, part of which is possibly the 'Cottage of Earl Fitzwilliam' show by Fairbank in 1788. Partial legibility of the former common 'Carter-Knoll'.
