off Town Street
Bramcote
Nottinghamshire
England

The small church tower is to be found in the centre of the Bramcote Conservation Area and contains features from both the 14th and 15th Centuries and was proceeded by a small 13th Century chapel. The church here was abandoned in favour of the newly built St Michaels and all Angels Church in 1861, and its nave and chancel were demolished in 1862. This was always called the Sunken Church implying that the church had sunk leaving the top part of the tower above ground. The rest of the church had in fact been demolished.
