The village church lies parallel to a road just off the town centre. Built of limestone, it consists of nave and aisles with parapets, a chancel, a square tower and a porch. The church has frequently been altered and restored. There are however some interior features of the late 12th century.

Sprotbrough is mentioned in Domesday Book. No church is mentioned, although there was a priest at the subsequently deserted vill ‘Wildthorpe’ in Sprotbrough. ‘Wildthorpe’ was the land of Roger de Bully (Williams et al. 1987-1992, f. 319v). The advowson of the church at Sprotbrough is mentioned in 1196 (Thompson and Clay 1943, 7-73).

Pevsner (1967, 496) wrote ‘nothing earlier than the late C13’. However, Ryder (1982, 97) found ‘the side walls of a short aisleless nave survive above the eastern two bays of the 14^th century arcades, the north arcade re-using two late 12^th century responds.’
