Built between 1816 and 1819, the Roman Catholic Pleasington Priory is a beautiful church comprising mixed Gothic styles. Described by the eminent architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner as 'an astonishing church', it is today a designated Grade-I listed building. The churchyard is notable for its war graves, with eight from the First World War and nine from the Second.
