All Saints Church, Coddington

You'll find All Saints Church tucked away in the village of Coddington, just a few miles south of Newark. It's one of those proper medieval parish churches that rewards a quiet wander - all sturdy stonework and mullioned windows, with a churchyard that's genuinely peaceful.

The church itself dates back centuries, and inside there's genuine character: good medieval masonry, proper church furnishings, and the sort of accumulated details that appeal to anyone interested in local history. You won't find crowds here. It's the kind of place where you can actually think, which makes it a genuine respite during a holiday park week.

Nobody needs more than thirty minutes to look around properly. Free admission, naturally. Best visited on a weekday morning when it's quietest, though do check if it's open before making the journey - rural churches keep unpredictable hours.

If you're based at Wigwam Holidays Orchard Stables or Lincolnshire Glamping's Spire View Meadow, both within easy reach, this works as a gentle half-hour detour rather than a main event. It's not dramatic or showy, but that's precisely why it's worth the visit. You'll get a genuine sense of what village life centred on in medieval England, without the tourist machinery.
