St Mary Magdalene Church, Campsall

The church of St Mary Magdalene dates from Norman times and it is reputed that Robin Hood and Maid Marion were married here. This is supported by the nearby Robin Hood's Well situated at the side of the A1 trunk road a couple of miles away.

In the churchyard there is a square stone trough with a scooped top which folklore holds is the 'plague stone'. Until recently this stone was located on the boundary between the villages of Campsall and Sutton; it is thought that during the plague food was left at the edge of the village and was paid for by money put in vinegar in the stone to prevent the passing of infection. A dip in the road leading to the A1, known as Bone Lane, is said to be caused by the burying of bones during the plague.
