Parish church
The parish church of St Petrock and St Barnabas[2] is a Grade-II* listed building.[3] Rebuilt in 1870, it retains its original Norman font. One of its most famous incumbents was John Travers (died 1620), a Nottingham man who was brother to the famous puritan cleric Walter Travers and who was related by marriage to another, Richard Hooker.
