St Wilfrid’s is a Grade I listed building which nestles among the trees and farmland on the edge of the village of Screveton.
The church boasts a number of highly regarded features including the font, piscina, a Charles II Royal Arms and two misericords together with a large alabaster chest tomb in the bell tower which contains the remains of Richard Whalley. The wildflower churchyard is a place of peace and tranquillity. The church is always open, should you wish to visit.

St Helen’s church, Kneeton, is positioned high above the River Trent, just to the north east of East Bridgford. It is recorded in the Domesday Book and much of the building and graveyard is Saxon in origin. It is central to the village and, as well as a place of worship, acts as a meeting place for the village.
There is usually one service each month, but during the Interregnum there is no regular pattern. St Helen’s tries to hold a BCP Said Communion at least twice a year but is also pleased from time to time to host Fosse Group Communion services using Common Worship. The St Helen’s community also takes great joy from the Festival Services at Christmas, Easter, Rogation and Harvest, all of which are usually well attended. Refreshments are usually served after services.
