A view of the edge of the Church tower and part of the graveyard from just inside the side gate leading from Ogle St. The John Godber Centre is also visible. The Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Hucknall ("Huchenale" in the Domesday Book, 1086) is the parish church (Anglican) at the edge of Market Square. It is Grade II* listed as a 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. Most of the Lords Byron are buried in it, the most famous being the 6th Baron Byron, the poet. A 14th century Angelus bell given to the church by the poet Lord Byron still hangs in the Church.
