The church, “Polesworth Abbey”, is large, ancient in part, but locked. The tower looks rather older and more substantial than the main body of the church.

Guarding the approach to the abbey is a large old gatehouse dating I would guess from the 16^th century. It is unfortunately in need of some money and tender loving care but is impressive never the less

Scattered around the town centre are a number of timber framed houses in good condition and red brick houses/cottages of various dates. The Congregational chapel has windows that remind me of a weavers cottage and opposite to it stands a particularly fine brick building (school?) with stone entrance and ornamental decorations
