Worksop Priory, Medieval parish church in Worksop, England

Two Norman western towers reaching 90 feet mark the entrance of this stone church, featuring ten bay arcades with alternating cylindrical and octagonal pillars.

William de Lovetot granted land in 1103 for the establishment of this Augustinian priory, which survived until its dissolution by Henry VIII in 1539.

The church maintains its role as an active Anglican parish, celebrating daily Mass and providing religious services for the local community of Worksop.

The church requires approximately £10,000 monthly for its operations, offering live streaming services and maintaining an active Facebook group for community updates.

The south door displays intricate ironwork from 1325-1350, while the nave measures 135 feet, reduced from its original length of 358 feet.
