St. Wilfrid's Church, Kirkby-in-Ashfield

St Wilfrid's Church stands on a ridge overlooking a valley that divides Nottinghamshire from Derbyshire, marking the western boundary of Sherwood Forest.

The current structure, built in 1907 after a devastating fire, replaced a medieval church that had existed on the site since the Norman period around 1150.

The church maintains regular worship services including Holy Communion at 10am and Evening Prayer with Communion at 6pm on alternate Sundays throughout the year.

Visitors can contact the Parish Safeguarding Co-ordinator Julia Smith at 07766 701284 or the Diocesan Safeguarding Team at 01636 817200 for safety concerns.

The building features architectural elements designed by Louis Ambler, including a distinguished reredos and chancel screen that demonstrate early 20th-century craftsmanship.
