There has been a church on this site for nearly 1,000 years. St Mary Magdalene's is one of the largest parish churches in England and is regarded as one of the finest. It is a Grade I Listed Building. It's written "Built over the two centuries of Perpendicular ascendancy after the Black Death, it piles high above its constricted urban site."
The present church is the third on this site. A Saxon church stood on the site, in the manor of the Earl of Mercia, who died in 1057, and his wife Lady Godiva, but nothing of that structure now remains. Newark had been granted by the Earl to the monks of Stow.
In about 1180 the church was substantially rebuilt, with a crypt that still exists. The piers of the crossing, and the west tower date from circa 1220, with the spire being about 100 years later. The greater part of the church- the nave with its aisles and clerestory, and the chancel are 15th century, with transepts and chapels added in the early 16th century. The mid 19th century saw a thorough restoration by Sir George Gilbert Scott, and further restoration was made in the 20th century by Sir Ninian Comper and others.
