The Church of St Mary Magdalene, Sutton-in-Ashfield is a parish church in the Church of England in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire.
The church is Grade II* listed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport [1] as it is a particularly significant building of more than local interest.
The church is medieval but was rebuilt in 1854 and 1867. [2] It contains a rare 12th century pillar piscina [1] and the remains of the font top from the original Norman church. [3]
By American searches, on 5 July 1607, Edward FitzRandolph was baptised at St. Mary's Church Sutton, marrying Elizabeth Blossom in Scituate, Massachusetts - they are Barack Obama's 10x great-grandparents. [4]
