TOP Hotels with Room Service in Retford for 2026

The first record of the church is in 1258, and the oldest floor slab Memorial dates from 1496. This large church is now mostly the work of a 17th-century restoration, after the tower collapsed in 1651 destroying much of the chancel and south transept. It was rebuilt in 1658. The church is in a cruciform plan with north and south transepts, a central four stage crossing tower, nave with north and south aisles and clerestory windows, chancel, and south porch. There is also a Lady Chapel, Vestry and Sacristy. The oldest part of the church is the north transept which has two arches and an octagonal pier with fine leaf decoration on the capital. This was revealed during a restoration in 1873. The four bay chancel was refurbished around the same time, and it was extended to its original size. The north aisle was rebuilt using original material as well as the clerestory, battlements, and other parts church in 1854. The south porch was also added. There was further restoration in 1905. The church has numerous stained glass windows from the nineteenth century by several well-known artists. The west window of the south transept contains mediaeval glass, and is unusual in having two coins set into the glass. The organ was originally on a gallery at the west end, and in 1841 a new organ was placed on the south side of chancel. It was subsequently enlarged and has been overhauled several times since. In 1980 it was completely rebuilt with a new movable console. The tower has a ring of 10 bells. In 2009 a toilet and kitchen were installed in the west end of church. In 2010 the nave and south aisle roofs were repaired with the aid of a grant from English Heritage.

Top Retford Hotel Reviews

Leopold Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Great location but hotel is badly let down by poor room. We had a shower which didn’t drain therefore flooded the bathroom also the sink didn’t drain. The wardrobe was very difficult to close, the WiFi was weak so could not get connected. The decor was scruffy and we could not get the heating to work. There was a portable radiator so suspect this was a previous issue. Very disappointed overall as you can guess. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was ok"

Novotel Sheffield Centre

6/10 Okay

"Complicated and restrictive system for booking the swimming pool, only 8 persons allowed. Car parking very limited with surrounding car parks very expensive. Bathroom dangerous, there is a desperate need for hand rails, it’s an accident waiting to happen climbing out of the bath. The sofa beds in the rooms are very uncomfortable and desperately need the mattresses replaced. Location superb and very handy for the train and venues like The Crucible. Good pricing structure."

Mercure Sheffield St Paul's Hotel & Spa

6/10 Okay

"Our room was tired. It had stained ceiling tiles, fraying carpet on the entrance to the ensuite, stained carpet, mini fridge inoperative. In addition to the above, the hotel was undergoing renovation in the lobby area, the breakfast was very poor value for money. Overall, a poor visitor experience. "
