History
The chapel of St. Mary dating from 1459 became the parish church when St. Peter's Church, Flawford nearby was demolished in 1773.The antiquities of Nottinghamshire. John Throsby. 1790
The church was repaired in 1718, and was rebuilt in 1824 at a cost of £1,100 ({{Inflation|UK|1100|1824|r=0|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}),{{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}} except the chancel and steeple, which are the only remaining parts of the ancient fabric. In 1773 its burial ground was consecrated, and enclosed with part of the materials of Flawford church.White's Directory of Nottinghamshire 1853
Except for the tower, the rest of the church was rebuilt by Bell and Roper of Manchester. Work started on 1 June 1887{{cite news |author= |title=Ruddington Church.
