Colston Bassett

Travel Guide

St Mary's Church, Colston Bassett, Notts. North facing aspects of this former parish church. The ruins stand on a low rise approximately one kilometre north-east of Colston Bassett and the church dates from 1130. The depopulation of the Wolds apparently led to a decline in the size of its congregation and by 1744 the church had fallen into a state of disrepair. The church was never de-consecrated and in July 2005 a service of re-dedication was held in the ruins following some restoration work aimed at preserving its remains. It is a scheduled Ancient Monument and is Grade I-listed.
