St Michael the Archangel, Halam is a lovely, very pretty church. Its slightly squat tower probably dates from the 13thC, the gargoyles and rather amusing pinnacles (not as ugly as Pevsner suggests) give it character.

Adam and Eve in 14thC glass at St Mary Magdalene, Newark.
This is one panel of a large window consisting of glass brought together from around the church, it was restored and redisplayed in its current location by Joan Howson in 1957.

15thC bench end at St Nicholas, Oddington.
A simple design but incredibly pleasing.

You'd better watch your step at St Mary Magdalene, Newark or you might end up being dragged down to hell like this poor chap who is firmly in the grip of two scaly, characterful demons.

The sturdy 15thC tower at St Peter and St Paul, Upton, Nottinghamshire is topped with pinnacles, the larger central one clearly has aspirations to be a miniature spire one day.

A tiny medieval angel valiantly supporting something long vanished and looking really rather glum about it at St Giles, Holme, Newark.

The 15thC font at St Andrew's, Naunton is a rather nice example of its type and well attended by a fire extinguisher and bottled water in case of combustible infants, better safe than sorry.
