All Saints', Granby is a Church of England parish church in Granby, Nottinghamshire, England. The building is Grade I listed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport for outstanding architectural or historic interest.[1]
History
The church is medieval (with fragments dating from the 12th century), but it was reduced in size and the tower repaired about 1777. The chancel originally had a terracotta east window, which was replaced by one of stone during restoration work in 1888. Fragments of the original, including two incomplete heads, lie in the chancel. Within a 1958 south porch is a heavily moulded, 13th-century doorway in Early English style.[1][2]
