Brief description
"St Mary Magdalene Church is easily accessible, well-equipped, and rich in medieval and Victorian architecture. It offers both spiritual services and cultural experiences—tours, music, and refreshments—in a beautifully restored historic space. Whether arriving from nearby Balderton or elsewhere, the church is a welcoming and reachable destination in Newark. Visitors often describe the interior as bright, spacious, and uplifting, with light flooding through the clerestory and stained glass. The combination of soaring verticals, elegant stonework, wood paneling, and glinting medieval brasses creates a serene yet awe‑inspiring environment."
