The building is Grade I listed by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport as of outstanding architectural interest.[1] HeritageThe church is medieval – fragments of the East end date back to the 11th century[1] – although it was restored in 1868–69 by the architect John Henry Hakewill, son of Henry Hakewill.[2] This involved rebuilding the chancel and re-roofing and re-seating the church. The 14th-century tower has a restored corbel table with masks and four gargoyles and an octagonal spire. Most of the stained glass dates from 1869. The vestry has been converted into a chapel. The plain round font there has a restored 14th-century base.[1] The dedication (earlier to "St Helen") is to St Helena of Constantinople, mother of the first Christian Roman Emperor, Constantine. She was reputed to have found the True Cross while on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in AD 326. In the 17th and 18th centuries the church and its parish formed a chapelry of Orston. The pre-restoration church was described architecturally by a visitor, Sir Stephen Glynne, on 12 April 1866, when it was in disrepair. The prompting for the restoration came on 27 April 1868, when it was badly damaged by lightning.[3] The church has a Latin slate tablet in memory of Gulielmi (i. e. William) Barrett (1760) and a marble war-memorial tablet (1919).[1] Parish structureThe church is in the Cranmer Group of parishes, which also includes St Thomas's Church, Aslockton, the Church of St Mary and All Saints, Hawksworth, St Mary's Church, Orston, the Church of St John of Beverley, Scarrington, and the Church of St John of Beverley, Whatton. Thoroton has a service at 9 am (Holy Communion or Matins) on the second Sunday of the month.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 {{National Heritage List for England |num=1272720 |desc=CHURCH OF ST HELENA|accessdate=26 January 2014}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Thoroton, St Helena's Church}}2. ^Pevsner, Nikolaus: The Buildings of England:Nottinghamshire (Harmondsworth, Middx: Penguin), p. 351. 3. ^Southwell and Nottingham Church History Project provides a more detailed history: Retrieved 31 July 2016. 4. ^A Church Near You [https://www.achurchnearyou.com/thoroton/ Retrieved 31 July 2016.] 3 : Church of England church buildings in Nottinghamshire|Grade I listed churches in Nottinghamshire|Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham |
