The parish church of St Mary the Virgin in Attenborough, Nottinghamshire may date from late Saxon times with the church being listed in the Domesday Book. The chancel may have been built in the mid-11th century and existed in 1042CE. It is probably the current church was built on the site of an earlier Saxon chapel which was built in 964CE.
The church was built from dressed stone and ashlar and has a West tower, vestries, nave, North and South aisles and a South porch. Much of the current church dates to the 15th century with some later rebuildings kept to that style.
The spire was rebuilt in 1848 and is forty metres tall and the church restored in 1869.
