In the centre of the village stands the church of St Margaret. The building is essentially of the Norman Conquest period, built using a mixture of Anglo-Saxon and Norman styles. Much of the work of these periods is still retained. It has an 11th-century tower of herringbone masonry, a Saxon cross shaft set in an outer wall and an ancient carved crucifix within. The tall cross in the churchyard is used as a war memorial and it is thought to be a former Medieval market buttercross.

Rumour has it that before its demolition, the crossing was used by King Harold, William the Conqueror and Dick Turpin - not all at once! 😅 Part of a Heritage Trail created by the local school.

Great views over the Trent towards Cottam Power Station.

Relic from the past, bridge over the River Idle. Formerly allowing heavy machinery access to the old gravel pits. Just off the footpath, the bridge now ends in a field, but nice elevated views up & down the river.

Take five, lovely spot for a sit down with views of the birds on the Nature Reserve Lake and the sound of the babbling brook behind you

long grass in places, suggest waterproof shoes when there's rain or dew!

St Michael the Archangel's Church is a Grade II* listed parish church in the Church of England in Retford, Nottinghamshire, England.

The strange name reputedly originated when a woman baked a huge pie one Whitsunday for navvies digging the canal ..... however, recently discovered maps show a local field called Whitsunday Pie Field that pre-dates the canal.
