We are part of the Newark Deanery in the Diocese of Southwell & Nottingham (opens a new window) With the closure of the school in 2009, the church and village hall next to it are the only public buildings left in the village. The Bell Tower has been refurbished through grants from a number of organisations and from money raised by the village. A grant from English Heritage and fund raising by the village has meant that a new roof was completed in 2009.
