All Saints' church, Harworth, Notts. All Saints' church stands raised above the surrounding land, in close proximity to the pit villages of Harworth and Bircotes. Only the tower remains of the medieval church, the rest rebuilt by C.J.Neale in 1869 with a neo-Norman chancel, apparently incorporating some of the original Norman one.
