Halam Nottinghamshire
12-16c Church of St.Michael the Archangel, Halam, Nottinghamshire - www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/3z1vtc At the time of the Norman conquest Halam belonged to the Archbishop of York's estate of Southwell which had been granted by King Eadwig in 956. Later Halam together with other nearby churches belonged to Southwell Minster with the status of a chapel of ease, its priests living at Southwell until the vicarage was built in 1908.
The first burial in the churchyard was James May in November 1582 after a petition for licence to bury their dead here "as in consequence of the distance to Southwell and the dangers of the roads, especially in Winter, they cannot without great difficulty take the bodies thither"
All restored 1884-9 by Ewan Christian, who described the building as "miserable and damp" with rebuilt south aisle and north porch.
