St Giles Church is an old church building located in Carburton, a small village in Nottinghamshire, England. It's a special kind of church called an Anglican church, which is part of the Church of England. Even though it's a church, it's not used for worship anymore. This means it is a "redundant" church.

A Look Back in Time

St Giles Church is very old! It was built way back in the early 1100s, which is the twelfth century. That means it's over 900 years old. Records about the church and its local area go back to the 1530s. The church has a unique and interesting shape.

Why St Giles Church is Special

Because it's so old and important, St Giles Church has a special protection status. It's called "Grade II* listed." This means the government thinks it's a really important building. It's considered more than just a local landmark. This special listing helps to protect old buildings.

Why the Church is Closed

In 2018, the Church of England decided that St Giles Church was "redundant." This means it was no longer needed for regular church services. Since then, the church has been closed to visitors. A sign at the entrance explains that it's not safe to go inside the building anymore.
