- Low Marnham, Nottinghamshire (St Wilfrid's Church)
This church presents an almost entirely 15th-century Perpendicular appearance from the outside.
Inside, however, the arcades of the nave are surprisingly different in character even though of similar date. The north side has low cylindrical pillars with circular capitals while the south has taller pillars, octagonal in plan with detached shafts. All contribute to a delightfully well-proportioned and spacious interior.
Several elegant monuments commemorate the Cartwrights in the 18th-century and there is a very handsome Coat of Arms.

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.
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.

I visited the church several years ago when I discovered that members of my fathers family lived in Marnham. In the churchyard very near the main door are the gravestones of my 3 x great grandparents William and Mary Walsham (nee Banks) and of John Walsham and his wife Ann(nee Kent) 2 x great grandparents. All the children of William and and Mary were born in the village and were baptised and married in St Wilfrids. The Walsham family were tennant farmers at Hill Farm later passed on to Joseph Mudford (at one time landlord of the Brownlow Arms) Joseph married Mary Walsham my great grant aunt. In te church is a memorial to Ernest Walsham who was killed in WW1 (my fathers first cousin. My great grandfather William Walsham was a soldier in the Lifeguards, and then an officer in the City of London police, he married Emily Jane Mash but sadly both died fairly youg leaving my grandfather and his two brothers orphans.
