St Mary Magdalene church, Walkeringham

The current building dates from early 13th Century, with regular additions thereafter. The nave arcades have octagonal pillars, and the arches are nearly semi-circular.
The tower was built from local Roche Abbey stone in 15th C. It is in 3 stages with 8 pinnacles. Nave and chancel roofs are perpendicular with carved bosses, as is the tower arch and clerestory. There is a perpendicular east window with plain glass.
The octagonal font is dated 1663 and stands on an earlier base. The 17th century, octagonal pulpit is simply panelled and, until 1868, stood on the north side of the chancel arch
The roof timbers are mostly 15th Century, although one is dated 1713. There were extensive repairs to the roof done circa 1950.
A gravestone on the north side of the church, marks the final resting place of murder victim, Charles Spencer, who lived at Church Farm. He was reputedly killed in the churchyard for the large sum of money he was carrying on his return from Gainsborough market.
After a brief trial, John Fenton, landlord of the Three Horse Shoes public house and village blacksmith,
who was known to be in financial difficulties, was convicted of the murder and publicly hanged in Nottingham in 1860.
