The site of the church lies in an isolated enclosure on a low mound approximately 1.5km from the centre of Kinoulton village. It is not known when the church was first built but it was certainly in existence by the 12th century when it is recorded that the church of Wilfrid at Kinoulton was granted to the church of St Peter of York and to Roger, the archbishop of York. Included in the grant was a garden, four oxgangs of land belonging to the church, a toft (homestead) and twelve acres of land with common pasture. It is believed that the church was built to serve the village of Kinoulton which would, at that time, have been situated near to the church but has since migrated to the east. In the early 16th century the Valor Ecclesiasticus valued the church at the yearly sum of 7 pounds, 18 shillings and 11 pence. However, by the late 18th century the church is described as being in ruin and a chapel, known as Newbolt Chapel and situated at the eastern end of the village, was instead used by the parishioners. A new church, situated in the centre of the existing village, is dedicated to Luke and was consecrated by the Archbishop of York on Monday 15th July 1793. The monument survives as a series of earthworks and buried remains with some upstanding gravestones. A series of turf covered banks in the centre of the enclosure mark out the buried remains of the church. The banks which survive up to a height of 0.5m, show the outline of a small building measuring approximately 20m by 10m. Internally, the building is divided into two areas by a bank which presumably serves to separate the nave from the chancel. A description of the earthworks written in the late 19th century suggests that the building also included a western tower, a south porch and possibly a south aisle. These features are no longer visible in the earthworks but remains of them will survive beneath the ground surface. To the south of the church is a raised mound which survives to a height of approximately 1.5m and slopes down on the southern side to the edge of the area of protection. The mound supports a number of gravestones which are Listed Grade II and laid out in small linear groups running roughly north to south. Most of the gravestones are of slate, date to the 17th and 18th centuries and were made by local craftsmen. In the late 20th century one of the grave stones was recorded as being one of the finest in the county. Slight earthworks are also visible in other areas of the monument particularly to the north of the church. These suggest further buried remains but their precise layout is difficult to define from the ground surface. All modern field boundary fences and gates are excluded from the scheduling although the ground beneath these is included.
