Worksop & District

Although this is essentially an industrial town on the edge of the Nottinghamshire coalfield, Worksop claims to be the capital of what has become known as the county’s ‘Dukeries’ because it has numerous noble houses in the vicinity. These include Worksop Manor, Wellbeck Abbey, Clumber House and Thorseby House.

To the south are remnants of Sherwood Forest and a number of picturesque parks.

Worksop itself has Saxon origins and its most attractive feature, the Priory Church of St Cuthbert and Mary, dates to the 12th century, boasting a huge Norman nave and a 13th century Early English Lady Chapel.
