The Parish Church of St Peter, view of the nave.

 

The village of East Bridgford or Bridgford on the Hill, sits on raised ground above the River Trent several miles north-west of Nottingham.

 

The parish church of St Peter has a Norman chancel, 14th century arcades and 15th century clerestory, the west tower was rebuilt in 1778, the church was heavily restored by the victorians in 1862 and then again in 1901.

 

One mile south east of the village on the Fosse Way Roman road sat the Roman town of Margidunum, the settlement flourished in the 2nd & 3rd century but was in decline at the end of the Roman period.
