St Peter's Church, Clayworth, is open from sunrise to sunset everyday for you. It is God's house and everyone is welcome.
This beautiful church was built between 1150 and 1180 and is situated on the main street which runs through this charming north Nottinghamshire canalside village, 6 miles north of Retford. It is a Grade I listed building and is regarded as one of the finest village churches in the county.
It is home to the Traquair Murals, the largest work of art in the East of England, painted by the eminent Scottish artist Phoebe Traquair in 1905/6. The church also features a fine13th century stone screen - a rare possession in a village church, and the Elizabthan Fitzwilliam tomb, one of the earliest examples of decorative plasterwork in the country. A visit is highly recommended - we are open all day, every day to welcome you.
