The first known purpose built church of Awsworth was part of the site of St Peter’s built around 1746.
It was commissioned by the Earl of Stamford and was built by Richard Smedley who donated the sum of £5 per year for “teaching the poor”, this continued until the late 1990’s at the reduced rate of £2 per year.
