The church is thought to have been built in the 12th century. In the grant made by Henry II to Newstead Priory, part of the endowment was “The Town of Papplewick with the Church of the same name and the Mill.”. Legend has it that Alan A’Dale, one of Robin Hood’s men, was married here. The present tower dates from the 14th century. The nave and chancel were rebuilt by the Right Hon. Frederick Montagu in 1795 (after he had rebuilt the Hall.). In 1855, Papplewick was united with Linby. The Parish is now called ‘the Parish of St. Michael, Linby cum St. James, Papplewick‘. The building was further restored and repaired in 1938 in memory of John Chadburn, son of Mr. C. W. Chadburn who lived in the Parish.

Origins in the 12th Century, rebuilt in 1795 & restored in 1940, this Grade I listed building is still in weekly use. The Yew tree outside is 350 years old.

Strawberry Hill Heath SSSI Nature Reserve. What's left of the SW end of once mighty Sherwood Forest as big domestic & industrial developments move in. Great place to explore, lots of paths through the trees. Unfortunately a constant hum of traffic and an attraction for 4X4's & fly-tippers, plus two or three burned-out cars dotted around does spoil it in places.

Nestled amidst the rolling hills and verdant landscapes of Nottinghamshire, England, lies Strawberry Hill Heath, a captivating nature reserve that offers a glimpse into the region's rich natural history and ecological diversity. This tranquil haven, managed by the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, provides an ideal retreat for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike. The heath's origins trace back to the medieval period, when it formed part of the expansive Rainworth and Rufford forests that once blanketed the area. Over time, these ancient woodlands transformed into a mosaic of heathland, scrubland, and woodland habitats, providing refuge for a diverse array of plant and animal species. The heath's signature landscape is characterized by rolling expanses of heather, punctuated by patches of bracken and gorse. These open spaces provide a vital habitat for a variety of birds, including stonechats, whinchats, and skylarks, whose melodious songs fill the air during the warmer months. Beneath the heath's verdant canopy, wildflowers burst into life in the spring, creating a vibrant tapestry of color. Common heathers, bell heather, and bilberry carpet the ground, attracting butterflies and bees that contribute to the heath's rich biodiversity. Strawberry Hill Heath offers an abundance of opportunities for exploring the natural world. A well-maintained circular trail winds through the reserve, providing access to its various habitats. Along the way, visitors can encounter a variety of wildlife, from inquisitive deer to shy rabbits. The heath's tranquil atmosphere and diverse habitats make it an ideal spot for quiet contemplation and relaxation. Visitors can sit by the edge of the heath, surrounded by the sounds of nature, and simply take in the beauty of the landscape. If you're seeking a peaceful escape into the heart of nature, Strawberry Hill Heath is the perfect destination. Its enchanting landscapes, vibrant flora and fauna, and tranquil atmosphere will leave you with a lasting impression of the natural world's beauty and diversity.

What a lovely place! Perfect spot for a picnic.

CLAIMED TO BE THE LEGENDARY location where Robin Hood met the feisty Friar Tuck in the famous folktale, the overgrown remains of a 12th-century moat, lodge, and holy well complex persist in this soggy corner of Sherwood Forest. Fountain Dale’s ancient moat is an impressive waterlogged ditch, 40 feet wide, enclosing what was once a large rectangular artificial island. The feature dates to at least 1251, when the moated island was the site of a hunting lodge, the vestiges of which remain hidden beneath centuries of mud and undergrowth. To date, little archaeological investigation at the site has been carried out. This said, the remains of the medieval manse are likely to be well preserved, having remained unusually undisturbed. The moat and its structures are listed as a Scheduled Monument of National Importance by the public heritage organization Historic England.
