The first written mention of a bridge at Kelham, dates from 1225. During the Civil War of 1642-46, Kelham Bridge was destroyed for military purposes and replaced by a bridge of boats - a temporary structure put up by the Parliamentarians. The bridge of boats had been located somewhat upstream of the present bridge, the road then passing between Kelham church and the hall. The present stone and brick bridge dates back to 1855.
The old hall at Kelham was the private residence of John Manner-Sutton was burnt down whilst being refurbished in 1857. The present Kelham Hall was built between 1859 and 1862 by Sir George Gilbert. He also built St Pancras Station a few years later and both building share the same Gothic style. In 1903, it became a theological college for Church of England priests known as the Society of the Sacred Mission. They added a great domed chapel in 1924. In 1969 the hall was taken over by Newark and Sherwood District Council. A few hundred yards from the hall, situated within the trees is the delightful parish church.
