Apart from the St Mary’s and All Saints church there is very little physical evidence of the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval periods from Bingham. Weaponry found in an Anglo-Saxon burial excavated in 1863 was known for a long time to have been kept in the Bingham Rectory, but has disappeared. Drawings of an Anglo-Saxon brooch found in Margidunum in the early part of the twentieth century and now lost are shown elsewhere in this site as is a photograph of a gilt-bronze pendant also found at Margidunum and thought to be 5th century Romano-British. This can be seen in the Nottingham University Museum. Other archaeological remains include charred bones and fragments of an Anglo-Saxon burial urn, found near Starnhill Farm, and fragments of pottery shown here.

St Mary’s and All Saints church, built starting in 1225, is the only Medieval building remaining in Bingham. Pictures of it can be seen by accessing the church web site.
