St. Mary's Church, Attenborough, Medieval parish church in Attenborough, England
The stone building features a 130-foot-high west tower with a spire, a clerestoried nave, and a medieval chancel with a north vestry.
Records indicate a chapel existed near the River Trent in 964 AD, with the current structure's construction starting around 1150 and continuing through multiple centuries.
The church maintains eight bells, including one from 1370, which ring across the village during services and special gatherings throughout the year.
Sunday services take place at 9:00 AM for traditional worship and 10:45 AM for contemporary gatherings, with a café operating on Tuesday mornings.
The churchyard contains a memorial to 130 workers who lost their lives in the 1918 Chilwell shell filling factory explosion.
