# St Mary, Car Colston

St Mary’s is a Grade I parish church in Car Colston, Nottinghamshire, in the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham and the joint parish of Car Colston and Screveton.

## Overview

The church dates from the thirteenth century and is listed Grade I (list entry 1045667). Rushcliffe’s conservation-area appraisal describes a thirteenth- to sixteenth-century church in Early English style, with a fourteenth-century west tower, crenellated parapet and spire, mid-fourteenth-century nave arcades, a tall mid-fourteenth-century chancel, and chancel windows with reticulated tracery. The tower was restored in 1911. The church stands between the village’s Large Common and Little Common and is a landmark in the conservation area. A group of three headstones one metre south of the south aisle is separately listed Grade II.
