Historic Churches in Nottinghamshire

 Cotham, St Michael's Church
  

Cotham, St Michael's Church The church of St Michael at Cotham stands amid farm fields. It dates to the 14th century, or perhaps earlier. The west twer and the west end of the nave were demolished in the 18th century, and both the north and south aisles were also pulled down, leaving a much truncated building.

 Elston Chapel
  

Elston Chapel The ancient chapel at Elston stands in a farm field apart from the village. This small building is composed of only a nave and small chancel, with no tower and no porch. Given the absence of a tower you might expect to find a bell turret, but there is none.

 Littleborough, St Nicholas Church
  

Littleborough, St Nicholas Church The tiny Norman church of St Nicholas at Littleborough is one of a number of candidates for the smallest parish church still in use in England. It certainly is one of the most interesting small country churches in Nottinghamshire.

 Low Marnham, St Wilfrid's Church
  

Low Marnham, St Wilfrid's Church A very nice county church in Perpendicular Gothic style (which loosely translates as 15th century). The most interesting feature of the church is a quite amazing south doorway, shaped into an ogee arch with multiple layers of moulding. The bottom ends of the ogee moulding have very nicely carved small heads.

 Southwell Minster
  

Southwell Minster Southwell began life as a Saxon manor, but in the 10th century it was granted to the Archbishop of York. The remains of the London palace of the archbishops of York can be seen next to the cathedral. The present church was begun in 1108, and it remains one of the best examples of the Romanesque style in England. That said, the chief reason to visit Southwell is its remarkable carving, notably on the pulpitum, but especially in the 13th century chapter house. Decorative foliage festoons the 36 stalls and the capitals of the chapter house and the corridor and vestibule leading to it. The botanical precision of the carvings is extraordinary: grace and beauty evoked from cold stone.
