Now virtually C19, that is the work of G. G. Place in 1848 (N aisle added) and even more of Gilbert Scott in 1862. Rich C14 recess in the outer S wall in which lies a hardly recognizable effigy of a priest. (1)
The first church was erected about AD 1080 and remained until 1360, when the present church was built on the foundation walls of the former. This church … consisted of a chancel and nave only. In 1848 the late Rector - the Rev. Edward Wilson - raised funds to enlarge the church … from designs by the late Gordon Place, of Nottingham. (2)
Remains of a 9th-10th century churchyard cross are built, 9ft above ground level, into a nave buttress of Costock Parish Church. Designs of crosses, reflecting an Irish influence, are exposed on two faces. (3) (4)
