4. St Wilfrid, Calverton, Nottinghamshire, England

Parish church
The church consists of a nave, chancel and W tower with S porch and a 20thc. vestry in the N angle of tower and nave. The building has a somewhat complicated architectural history. The church was rebuilt in the 14thc. using many of the old stones, as can be seen outside on the N wall of the chancel. In 1499 money was left for the construction of a rood loft; the incisions in the impost blocks of the chancel arch may date from this time. Between 1760-63 the nave and tower were largely rebuilt and the windows in both nave and tower replaced with round headed ones. The chancel was rebuilt in 1835. There was a further restoration of the building in 1881 when the nave windows were replaced and the sculptural fragments described below (VI Loose Sculpture) came to light when the floor of the nave was lowered by two feet.

Parish church
A cruciform building consisting of a chancel, N and S transepts, central tower, clerestoried nave with aisles, a N porch and a modern extension beyond the S transept. The N arcade is the oldest part of the present church and the two most easterly bays would appear to date from around 1200. At a later date the church was extended westwards by one bay and the W respond of the arcade moved and an additional pier with a plain capital inserted. The S arcade, also of three bays, dates from the 14thc. The two lower stages of the crossing tower are also 14thc. while the upper stage is 15thc., as is the chancel.
8. Holy Trinity, Cottam, Nottinghamshire, England

Parish church
The church consists of an integral nave and chancel with W bell-cote and S porch. The fabric of the building appears to be basically Norman work with later 13thc. windows. Much restoration work was carried out in the 1860s and in 1890, from when the bell turret dates. There is a very fine crisply carved limestone hexagonal heraldic font, probably early 15thc. By the E side of the S porch, half hidden in the grass, is something which might have been the Norman font (of sandstone with a square inner tub), but this is not described here.

21. St Mary and St Cuthbert, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England

Priory originally, now parish church
The church consists of a nave with N and S aisles; two transepts with a long Lady Chapel attached to the south transept; two W towers; and N and S nave doorways under porches. The cloister lay to the N of the nave, and there are further doorways into its S range from the N aisle. Vestigial remains of other monastic buildings are lying to the N. Nothing remains of the chancel. The eastern bay of the nave is assumed to date from shortly after the priory received a grant from its founder, William de Lovetot, in 1130. It was not completed until the last quarter of the century. It has three storeys: a ten-bay arcade; a gallery with alternating wide and narrow openings, the wide openings placed above the arcade bays; and a clerestorey with no passage, its windows positioned above the nave piers. This odd arrangement allows the heads of the main gallery arches to impinge on the clerestorey zone, rising between the windows. In about 1200 the Romanesque choir was replaced and in 1240 the Lady Chapel was built. This fell into disrepair at the Dissolution and stood, ruinous and detached, until its restoration by Breakspear in 1922. In 1929 he joined it to the nave by means of a S transept, which he reconstructed from the evidence available. The N transept dates from 1935, and the E end is by Laurence King (1966-74). The Romanesque features are the nave and the lower portion of the towers. Despite the rebuidling of the walls of the aisles in the 19thc. all the doors appear to be in their original settings. The exterior string courses, corbel tables and aisle windows are all 19thc. replacements, and the exterior of the south transept is entirely 20thc.
