The Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Hucknall ("Huchenale" in the Domesday Book, 1086) is the Anglican parish church located off Market Square. It is Grade II* listed by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport as a particularly significant building of more than local interest. The Church has served as the traditional burial place for the Byron family who maintain a family vault there. The majority of the Lords Byron are buried in it, the most famous being the 6th Baron Byron, the romantic poet. A 14th century Angelus bell given to the church by the poet Lord Byron still hangs in the Church.
