St Wilfrid’s Church, North Muskham: An Historic Building Investigation

Author(s): Aimee Henderson

The church of St Wilfrid’s North Muskham is a Grade I listed parish church in Nottinghamshire (NHLE: 1178997). St Wilfrid’s is constructed, in part, of Lias Limestone, which outcrops across Nottinghamshire but is more prevalent in the southwest of England. Lias Limestone weathers poorly and, while it is suggested that such buildings were quite commonly rendered historically, it is difficult to prove this conclusively. The church was added to the Heritage at Risk (HAR) Register in 2014 due to the deteriorating condition of its masonry, particularly on the lower stages of the tower. Research to establish whether there is a historic precedent for rendering this church will inform conservation methods for this building view a view to remove it from the HAR Register.
