Free church
The Church of England parish church of St Nicholas dates from the 12th century. From 1824 to 1849 the incumbency at St Nicholas was held by Rev. Edward Bishop Elliott, a distinguished theologian who, while in residence at Tuxford, authored an authoritative and widely read commentary on the biblical Book of Revelation, titled "Horae Apocalypticae". Tuxford also has a Methodist church, whose current building was erected for another Free church in 1841.
