Description

The Priory Church of St Anthony began as a chapel for the Hospital of St Anthony within Lenton Priory, with the chancel dating to around 1108 and the remainder constructed in 1883. Later additions were made at the west end around 1992. The building is constructed of coursed rubble and squared stone, with ashlar dressings and slate roofs with coped gables.

The chancel has angle buttresses and a three-light Decorated east window. The south side features a pointed arched window from the 13th century, alongside a 19th-century three-light flat-headed window. The north-side vestry has a flat roof and angle buttress. A porch on the north side incorporates a shouldered door framed by two-light flat-headed windows. The nave clerestory has six pointed arched windows on each side. The west gable has angle buttresses and a square wooden bell turret topped with a lead-covered pyramidal spire. A cambered pointed arched doorway is covered by a 20th-century glazed lobby, above which is a three-light pointed arched window. The south aisle has buttresses and five flat-headed windows of two lights, with similar windows at each end. The north aisle, with four bays, contains three flat-headed windows of three lights, and a further similar window to the west.

Inside, the church is rendered. The chancel features a 19th-century moulded arch without responds, and a boarded wagon roof. The east end contains a 19th-century stained glass window. A segmental pointed opening on the north side houses an organ, alongside a 19th-century aumbry and piscina. The south side has a 13th-century piscina and a 12th-century window with 19th-century stained glass. The nave has four-bay arcades with octagonal piers and four-centred arches with hood moulds, supporting a queen post roof with traceried spandrels. The west end has a pointed arched doorway and a memorial stained glass window dating to 1946. The aisles have lean-to roofs and plain windows. A traceried wooden screen separates the north aisle to the east. Fittings include the Arms of Charles I on a board, and a 19th-century font, pulpit, lectern, benches and stalls. Memorials include a marble and slate tablet, dated 1833.
