St Peter's Parish Church, Clayworth dates back nearly nine hundred years. It is situated in the Bassetlaw district (North Notts.) about six miles north of Retford and on the ancient Roman road from Lincoln to Doncaster. It is known for its delightful recently restored,Traquair murals painted on the walls of the interior of the church over 100 years ago.

The church which serves the villages of Clayworth and Wiseton is an ancient grey-walled building, with a timber fronted porch surrounded by trees

This atmospheric photograph was taken late in the afternoon on a sunny February day in 2007.

In summer the view of the church and tower is almost entirely obscured by the trees.
