This church is the nave of the medieval church that until its first restoration in the 1570s had a chancel, tower and spire. It was rebuilt in 1827-29 by Sir George Crewe who restored the church adding new windows, building a tower and casing the entire exterior in stone.

 St Giles was the parish church of Calke from 1160 until 1834. It is now a private manorial chapel, owned by the National Trust. It sits inside the park of Calke Abbey.
