St Peter & St Paul's Church, Gringley-on-the-Hill

St Peter & St Paul’s Church stands in the village of Gringley-on-the-Hill in the East Midlands. It is a Grade II* listed parish church of the Church of England. The building dates from the 13th century and has been enlarged or restored in every century since. In the early 20th century the south aisle was added for the vicar, the Revd Charles Bailey. Since 2022 the church has belonged to the Oswaldbeck Benefice, which groups six local parishes together. The church is worth visiting for its long history and the way it shows continuous change. The nave and chancel still carry medieval fabric while later centuries added their own touches. The south aisle, completed between 1910 and 1912, shows Edwardian craftsmanship. The Oswaldbeck Benefice brings together six churches, making this one part of a wider network. Inside, the visitor finds the nave and chancel of the 13th century. The south aisle of the early 20th century opens off the nave. The Bevington and Sons organ stands in the church, its pipes visible above the case. The Oswaldbeck Benefice links this church with five neighbouring parishes across the district.
