This Grade II-listed church, dating from c.1790, is seen here from Station Road. The outside tables in the picture belong to The White Hart pub, a former meeting place for forestry officials from the Dukeries and supervisory staff from the hop fields. The latter were once to be found at the side of the River Maun (1790-1892). Previously Ollerton was at the crossroads of some well established routes between Newark-Worksop and Mansfield-Lincoln and it is said that this public house became a rendezvous venue for such male supervisors. Wellow Road is seen ahead.
