The church of St Michael at Cotham is set well back from the road amid farm fields, surrounded by earthworks suggesting the site of a medieval village. There was a church listed here in the Domesday Book of 1086, but the present building dates to the 14th century, or perhaps earlier. The church was linked to Thurgarton Priory since at least 1291.

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.

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.

St Wilfrid's Church in the Nottinghamshire village of Low Marnham is a very nice county church in Perpendicular Gothic style (which loosely translates as the 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.
