- Cotham, Nottinghamshire (St Michael's Church)
Surrounded by picturesque countryside, you reach Medieval St Michael’s by walking along a country lane, over a stile and across a field.
It has a wonderful mix of windows in different Gothic styles. The tower and the west part of the nave were pulled down in the latter part of the 18th-century leaving the basic layout we see today.
Careful investigation reveals two 14th-century monuments partially hidden in the south wall. The two uppermost corbel stones on the west wall of the nave suggest the position of a gallery, long since vanished.
Below these are three carved Medieval corbel stone 'faces’ rescued from the old church.

If the access information for this church is listed as ‘Keyholder nearby’, this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Wheelchair access as church is reached across a field.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

My grandfather Rev. Clarence Elwell was rector here in the 50's and 60's. I enjoyed visiting the church greatly during this time and I also
have recollections of many of the villagers. A beautiful, simple,yet
holy place with an unusual approach, through a meadow,from the road.
Not many other churches have this approach.
