Church of St Peter, Ravenshead
Dedicated in April 1972, this was a new church reflecting the enormous expansion of Ravenshead after World War 2. The design reflected the trend towards a more corporate liturgy with a forward altar. The roof of the body of the church is in the form of a hyperbolic paraboloid, by one of the UK's principal exponents, Hugh Tottenham. The church was Listed Grade II in 2018.

The Pilgrim Oak
This handsome old oak tree stands at the main entrance to Newstead Abbey (which was actually a Priory). It is also sometimes known as 'The Gospel Oak', as pilgrims making their way to the Priory would stop and read the Gospels here before going down to the Priory. It was also used as a venue for local festivals.
I have been unable to find out the age of the tree, but it was already a notable specimen in Byron's time, and was described as 'a venerable tree, of great size' by Washington Irving when he visited the area in the early 19th century.
In autumn colours, it stands out nicely; at other times of year it tends to blend in to the background.
