Retford Hostels from AED 315

The first record of the church is in 1258, and the oldest floor slab Memorial dates from 1496. This large church is now mostly the work of a 17th-century restoration, after the tower collapsed in 1651 destroying much of the chancel and south transept. It was rebuilt in 1658. The church is in a cruciform plan with north and south transepts, a central four stage crossing tower, nave with north and south aisles and clerestory windows, chancel, and south porch. There is also a Lady Chapel, Vestry and Sacristy. The oldest part of the church is the north transept which has two arches and an octagonal pier with fine leaf decoration on the capital. This was revealed during a restoration in 1873. The four bay chancel was refurbished around the same time, and it was extended to its original size. The north aisle was rebuilt using original material as well as the clerestory, battlements, and other parts church in 1854. The south porch was also added. There was further restoration in 1905. The church has numerous stained glass windows from the nineteenth century by several well-known artists. The west window of the south transept contains mediaeval glass, and is unusual in having two coins set into the glass. The organ was originally on a gallery at the west end, and in 1841 a new organ was placed on the south side of chancel. It was subsequently enlarged and has been overhauled several times since. In 1980 it was completely rebuilt with a new movable console. The tower has a ring of 10 bells. In 2009 a toilet and kitchen were installed in the west end of church. In 2010 the nave and south aisle roofs were repaired with the aid of a grant from English Heritage.

Hex Wildlife Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, always well prepared stay in same room every week pretty much "

Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were lovely, helpful, polite and courteous throughout my stay. Had a lovely suite (401) which was right near the spa. The suites are away from the hotel, so even though there was a wedding going on when I arrived, it was nice and quiet in my room. Only one tiny thing I would say about the suite I stayed in was that it was a bit clinical... As in, it could do with a few ornaments to give it a more homely feel but only a personal thing so not essential. I had breakfast both days of my stay which was spot on. The only thing missing from the breakfast for me was the hash browns and black pudding, but it didn't stop me from enjoying the breakfast. All hot, plenty to choose from and nice surroundings. I had dinner in the evening served by polite, attentive & kind staff who looked after me the whole time I was there. The food... OMG! Probably the best fish & chips I've had for a long time! & For £19, you really are getting a bargain! The plate of food was huge. I also used the spa the next day which was clean, tidy and such a nice time. A bit noisy, but only to be expected when it's busy and it didn't spoil my visit in any way, so all good. Then had a back massage which was a perfect finish to my stay! Well done Ringwood! I would definitely stay again! "
