Dist:0.2km<br/>In view of the coverage in Geograph of medieval churches around England, it surprising that it has taken until 2011 for this one to appear, although as this picture shows, it is not easy to photograph. The church dates back to at least the 12th century, from which period the chancel arch survives, with medieval fabric from 13th, 14th and 15th centuries as well. The church suffered a catastrophic arson attack in 1996 resulting in the destruction of the nave roof. The church is Listed Grade I, although the listing has not been updated since the fire. For details of the church, the best source I have found is http://southwellchurches.nottingham.ac.uk/cotgrave/hintro.php

Dist:0.2km<br/>I took this simply because of the most unusual first name of the person concerned. The other references on the slab to West Africa make me wonder whether she originally came from that area. This gravestone is propped up against the west wall of the church.
