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.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/179918/d5135c34-c4bd-4911-ab3c-45b811bbfd92.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium) Photo by Jules & Jenny # Find Romantic Hotels in Retford - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__price_find.svg) ### Change your mind Book hotels with free cancellation - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__deals.svg) ### Treat yourself Save instantly and earn perks with One Key [Learn about One Key](https://www.expedia.co.uk/welcome-one-key) - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__bed.svg) ### Be picky Search almost a million properties worldwide ## Check availability on Retford Romantic Hotels Tonight [11 Nov - 12 Nov](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=179918&startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true&travelerType=romantic) Tomorrow [12 Nov - 13 Nov](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=179918&startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true&travelerType=romantic) This weekend [14 Nov - 16 Nov](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=179918&startDate=2025-11-14&endDate=2025-11-16&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true&travelerType=romantic) Next weekend [21 Nov - 23 Nov](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=179918&startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-23&adults=2&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true&travelerType=romantic) ## Top Retford Romantic Hotels ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/30000/20500/20474/w3840h2564x0y4-e1f5f580.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Outdoor wedding area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/30000/20500/20474/f55cd544.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/30000/20500/20474/f74755d8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Breakfast, lunch, dinner served; local cuisine ](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/30000/20500/20474/w3837h2557x3y3-38bf37a9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Best Western Plus West Retford Hotel Retford 8.8/10 Excellent (365) "An excellent 4 night base for visits in the area.
