Since 1877 Lenton has been a part of the City of Nottingham, but in the 11thc it was a village to the W, between Nottingham and Wollaton. New Lenton was built on farmland to the W of Lenton to accommodate the expansion of both the village and the city, especially of the lacemaking industry. The church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1842 by Henry Isaac Stevens, and consists of a nave with aisles, chancel and W tower. It houses the font from Lenton Priory; one of the finest pieces of Romanesque sculpture in the county.

South Scarle is a village in the Newark and Sherwood district of E Nottinghamshire, 20 miles E of Mansfield close to the border with Lincolnshire. Apart from the church the village has a post office and a community centre. St Helen's consists of a chancel, clerestoried nave, aisles, S porch and W tower (the N aisle has been partitioned off to form a separate room). There may have been a Saxon church on the site; by c. 1130 there was certainly structure consisting of the present nave and there is documentary evidence attesting to a church on the site in 1147. The W tower, S aisle, chancel and extension to the N aisle were added in the 13thc. Last to be built was the S porch in the 14th or 15thc. In the 14thc. the tower was rebuilt. Extensive restoration work was carried out in 1871 and 1898. It was during the earlier period of restoration in 1871 that the S arcade was cleaned and redressed. Only the N arcade is Romanesque, but it is a fine example of late 12thc work.
