St Mary Magdalene's Church, Walkeringham is a Grade I listed, Church of England parish church in the village of Walkeringham, Nottinghamshire.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The church dates from the 13th century. It has been closed since 2018, following a fall of material from the roof. By July 2021, the roof had been repaired and the pipe organ, built in 1864 but unplayed for 20 years, had been restored.[3] Although a special service was held on 22 July 2021 to mark the Feast of St Mary Magdalene, the church has remained closed for regular worship as further repair work is needed and neither churchwardens nor Parochial Church Council have been appointed.[4]

It is part of the Oswaldbeck Benefice along with the following neighbouring churches:[5]
