St Swithun's Church, East Retford, Medieval church in East Retford, England.
The Grade II* listed St Swithun's Church presents a cruciform structure with a central tower, perpendicular architecture, and ten bells within its battlemented tower.
Founded in 1258, the church experienced a major reconstruction in the 1650s after the central tower and chancel collapsed during a severe storm.
The north transept contains historical memorials, including an incised slab from 1496 commemorating Henry Smyth and multiple Victorian stained glass works.
The church welcomes visitors on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays with refreshments, level access facilities, and parking spaces for attendees.
The building features a stone figure above the southern door, reportedly transferred from a Portuguese monastery in 1895, representing a bishop.
