The Parish Church of Our Lady of Egmanton (Saint Mary the Virgin)
The village of Egmanton is located one mile south from the market town of Tuxford in the district of Newark and Sherwood.
The parish church of Our Lady of Egmanton sits in the centre of the village and has an early 13th century chancel arch and a 15th century west tower. The most famous feature of the church is the Shrine to Our Lady Egmanton, the current shrine dates from the late 19th century after the original shrine was destroyed in 1547.
The shrine was originally created following a reported apparition of the Virgin Mary to a local woman in nearby Ladywood, sometime prior to the 12th century
