St Wilfrid's Church, Low Marnham

A handsome Perpendicular church

This church presents an almost entirely 15th-century Perpendicular appearance from the outside.

Inside, however, the arcades of the nave are surprisingly different in character even though of similar date. The north side has low cylindrical pillars with circular capitals while the south has taller pillars, octagonal in plan with detached shafts. All contribute to a delightfully well-proportioned and spacious interior.

Several elegant monuments commemorate the Cartwrights in the 18th-century and there is a very handsome Coat of Arms.
