The church lies to the west of Papplewick village, in a secluded site bordering the river Leen. The church is a Grade 1 listed building of great historical interest.

The church is thought to have been built in the 12th century. Legend has it that Alan A'Dale, one of Robin Hood's men, was married here. The present tower dates from the 14th century. The nave and chancel were rebuilt by the Hon. Frederick Montagu in 1795 (after he had rebuilt the Hall.). In 1855, Papplewick was united with Linby. The Parish is now called 'the Parish of St. Michael, Linby cum St. James, Papplewick'. The building was further restored and repaired in 1938 in memory of John Chadburn, son of Mr. C. W. Chadburn, the then Patron of the Parish. The organ was moved from the west to the east of the north wall; the staircase used to be where the organ is now.

The Churchyard is still in use. An area for the internment of Cremated Remains has been created at the foot of the tower and a Book of Remembrance relating to this is to be found on the chest at the back of the Church.

In the Churchyard stands the magnificent yew tree which some say date back to the days of the royal decree that yews should be planted in every churchyard to maintain the supply for the famous English Longbow. The tree is about 350 years old. The oak seat surrounding it has recently been restored.
