Huge early perpendicular gothic windows in the medieval tower are let down by a dreadful Victorian nave & chancel.

The church has its origins in the 15th century. The tower is all that remains of the 1862 rebuild.

The arch dates from the mid 19th century. It is built of ashlar.

My ancestor was the Victualler here in the 1830's. I was born too late!

The churchyard contains burials from many generations, showing the Church's concern for its parishioners in this life and beyond the grave. The stones tell the history of the Parish over 200 years and reflect changing attitudes and fashions. The churchyard here at St Oswalds is large and well kept.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The historic village of Dunham-on-Trent is named after the Saxon chief Duna, and Ham meaning village. This street known as The Green has a K6 telephone box and the village noticeboard. In 1935, the Post Office commissioned a new kiosk from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to celebrate the Jubilee of King George V. The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.
