Dist:0.4km<br/>A church was recorded on this site in the Domesday Book of 1086, probably wooden. The earliest stonework is in the lower part of the tower, dating from the 13th century. The chancel was added in the 14th century and the top of the tower is 15th century Gothic style. Restoration took place in the 16th century and again in the 17th century, when William Mompesson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Mompesson widened the nave and added the north and south porches. In 1881 further restoration took place, with the vestry being added to the design of J.P. St. Aubyn. The stone is Mansfield limestone and skerry from the quarry at Maplebeck. Purple sandstone from Hollington in Staffordshire was used in places for the 1881 restoration. Excellent web site - http://www.st-andrews-eakring.org.uk/ Mompesson memorial - [[1335]]

Dist:1.0km northwest<br/>The bridge crosses the course of one of the old mineral lines which used to serve the collieries of the area. The stile seems somewhat superfluous.
