Find a church

St Nicholas stands on a bend on the A46 and is easily missed, but if you stop you will find a surprisingly beautiful church with Saxon tower, grave markers, Norman font and other ancient features.

The church has close associations with Bardney Abbey, a Benedictine monastery founded in 697 by King Ethelred of Mercia.

A Methodist Society was formed in Bardney as early as 1788, 44 years after John Wesley's first conference.

The first noticeable feature about All Saints is its position in the town, you see that this church does not face east.

This church is well known because of its associations with the great Romantic poet William Wordsworth, who lived in nearby Dove Cottage and is buried in the churchyard.

All Saints stands in the grounds of Brocklesby Park, home to the Earls of Yarborough, whose family name is Pelham.

The delightful conservation village of Cold Overton lies on a ridge close to the Rutland border, where the church originates from the 12th century with its medieval wall paintings and stone carvings.

Wragby Methodist Church celebrated its centenary in 1994, but is the third chapel on this site.

Although The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) built a Meeting House in Darlington in 1678 (when they bought the plot for ’35), the present structure was not completed until about 1846.

A haven of peace and beauty in a busy town centre.
