St Giles Church is an old Anglican church. It is located in Carburton, Nottinghamshire, England. This church is no longer used for regular services. This means it is a "redundant" church.

The Story of St Giles Church

St Giles Church is a very old building. It was built a long, long time ago. The church dates back to the early 12th century. That's over 900 years old! It has a very unusual shape. Records about the church and its local area go back to the 1530s.

This church is considered very special. It has a "Grade II* listed" status. This means it is a really important building. It is more important than just a local building. The government department in charge of culture gives it this special status.

In 2018, the Church of England decided St Giles Church was no longer needed for worship. It was officially closed. A sign in the church porch now says that people cannot go inside. This is because the building has been deemed unsafe for visitors.
