FACTS

The present building was largely erected during Henry II's time.

Edwinstowe takes its name from King Edwin of Northumbria. He was killed at the Battle of Hatfield (AD 633) just a mile and a half from the village. He was buried for a time in a clearing on which St Mary's was later built.

Robin is said to have married Marian in the doorway of the parish church.

Today the church remains a focal point of the village of Edwinstowe.

There's also a statue of Robin proposing to Marian to keep tourists happy.
