He actually left his money to the Church for needed repairs and for something called MILN Brig....if anyone knows... [more]

I used to live in the village of TYTHBY, spelled with a Y and not an I. I did not even know that there was another village close by with a similar name. But I have checked on the computer and there it is, not too far away in the general direction of Langar. But I do not think there ever... [more]

Extracts From Radcliffe-On-Trent & Nottinghamshire books

Down the Trent Photographic Memories
St Mary's Church, just visible amongst the trees, was rebuilt with a tower after the steeple fell off the original building in 1792. Its corresponding Church Centre has been established comparatively recently in the long building, across the road, beyond the parked Austin A35 motor car. The shops still exist but all have changed their functions.

The village grew in the 19th century, and this is its predominant architectural character, with 20th-century suburbs and estates to the south and east. The post office is now a funeral director's. In the distance is the church of 1879, and in front of it is St Mary's Church Centre of 1876, now with... [more]

The Trent Valley Way long-distance footpath runs through the cliff-top woods for over a mile. Leaving the path we can descend to the foot of the cliffs to this weir, and leaving the woods, walk back to the village... [more]
