Worksop Priory Church

This active place of worship, which has been nestled in the centre of Worksop for more than 900 years, is an important heritage centre for the region. It has been carefully restored, having been largely destroyed by the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1500s. Spectacular stained glass and beautiful architecture increase its appeal as one of the most notable Worksop attractions.

Mr Straw’s House

Many of our local landmarks may be built on a grander scale, but this National Trust property is a real hidden gem. One of our favourite Worksop attractions, this terraced house was formerly the home of a local grocer. Today, it is a beautifully preserved time capsule of 1920s family life. Guests get a glimpse of the past with nostalgic stories and possessions from these simpler times.
