[3] It is located in the south of the village on Main Street and is situated on the east bank of the River Soar (which is the county boundary with Leicestershire).
[6] During the 15th century the walls of the nave were raised,[6] creating an open roof with a lower pitch,[8] windows added later.
A. Baylay, the C.15th century timber roof was noted for being of “excellent design”, citing it is "one of the best points about the church".
In the 18th, or late in the 17th century, the outer sides of the timber storey have been faced with brick work (apparently not all of one date) flush with the stone walls below...At the west end of the nave there is a large five-light window, a group of lancets.
[6] Above the chancel arch, in the nave, are the royal coat-of-arms of Charles II, dated 1683,[8] which were erected by the lord of the manor, Samuel Sanders in 1683.
[6] When permission was granted to restore and repair the church in 1889 the all three coat-of-arms were taken down, they were not re-installed until 1913 during which time some of the plaster was damaged.
[6] The chancel, where Sunday services are now held, is unusually large for its period, almost as long as the nave[6] measuring 39'6" and 17' wide,[10] which was possibly for accommodating visiting monks from Durham.
[3] Anne Ragdale's monument consists of an inscription tablet flanked with two fluted pilasters on either side, with a cornice capped by a decorative urn.
There is a monument to Frances Willoughbie, dated 1606, decorated with strapwork containing a kneeling female figure at a lectern.
[3] John Throsby's Thoroton's History of Nottinghamshire, published in 1790, refers to the monument of Anne Ragdale in his section on the village.
John Throsby makes disapproving remarks on the glowing inscription of the monument:[8] And a large tablet to the memory of a late rector's wife, who died in 1768.
Do the catholics offend us with their images of saints, their crucifixes, and their beautiful scriptural paintings in their places of worship?
