"The Sunken Tower" and a graveyard is all that remains of the former 14th century parish church on this elevated plot of land that overlooks a crossroads formed by Town Street, Moss Drive and Cow Lane. The four Longden almshouses (1852) on Cow Lane are visible to the right. The reference to the church being sunken relates to a belief that the rest of the church had sunk leaving only the tower standing. In fact the rest of the church was demolished, it being in a poor state of repair, shortly after Bramcote's new church, St Michael and All Angels, was built in the 1860's.
