Day 328
November 24, 2010Our village church is looking good in the early morning sun.
The church of St. James dates from Norman times (11th century) of which four round arches still remain. The church was much altered in the 13th century and again in the late 19th century. Within the church are memorials to Sir Richard Pipe, once Lord Mayor of London, who died in 1587 and to Margaret and Mary Pole, two maiden sisters who gave the village its almshouses and who died within two months of each other in 1755. There is also a very worn effigy of Lady Joan (Neville) Furnival, which was moved from Worksop Priory on its dissolution. She died in 1396. The registers date from 1648.
