St Nicholas Church
St Nicholas Church, a Grade II listed building, was discovered to be on fire on 16 March 2008 and all that remains is the tower and shell of the building. The fire was initially not considered suspicious, however since there is evidence that there was a break in on the night of the fire, it is believed to have been arson, following failed attempts at several other churches nearby.
The village also has a Baptist church (Radford Semele Baptist Church) www.rsbc.info which was built in 1874 and is still serving the village to this day.
