"The stone structure which now comprises St Helen’s church was started in the middle of the 12th century, and it seems to have been built in its entirety over a fairly short period of time. Several items within the church date from this early period of its history, including the Norman font and two carved stone slabs. It would seem that Selston was fairly wealthy at this stage, as in 1171 the parish was sending two shillings a year as a Pentecostal offering to Southwell, a high amount compared to other parishes in the area."
