This beautiful church was built between 1150 and 1180 and is situated on the main street which runs through this charming north Nottinghamshire canalside village, 6 miles north of Retford. It is a Grade I listed building and is regarded as one of the finest village churches in the county.

The church also features a fine 13th century stone screen - a rare possession in a village church, and the Elizabethan Fitzwilliam tomb, one of the earliest examples of decorative plasterwork in the country. The chancel is decorated with fine murals by the renowned Scottish artist Phoebe Anna Traquair 1852-1936. The murals were completed in 1905.
