The Chapel of the Holy Rood, Bagworth was a dependent chapelry of the parish church of Saint Peter, Thornton. In 1848 Holy Rood was described as having a Saxon door and that its walls bore the date 1637. In 1873 the entire church except for the tower was rebuilt in granite with limestone dressings, with buttresses banded with red brick and blue vitrified brick. In the 20th century the Victorian church and medieval tower suffered subsidence so in 1968 they were demolished. They were replaced with a new modern church building that is unusual in being built of CLASP prefabricated concrete panels. This building decayed fairly rapidly and was unused for a number of years before its demolition in 2019. The site has now been grassed over. The graveyard and a few relics of the earlier church remain.
