Ockbrook is a village about five miles E of Derby. The church lies to the S of the village and consists of a wide nave, a N aisle built in 1814, a S aisle added in 1835, a chancel rebuilt by Thomas Pares in 1803, a S porch, and a W tower surmounted by a low spire. Almost certainly in the 12thc there was a chapel possessing rights of baptism, as proved by the surviving Norman font, the key Romanesque feature of this site. The oldest part of the church is the W tower, dating to the 12thc.
