Worksop has three churches, all of which are on the [[National Heritage List for England]].

{{main|Worksop Priory}}
Officially titled the Priory Church of Saint Mary and Saint Cuthbert, the [[Anglican]] parish church is usually known as Worksop Priory. It was an [[Augustinians|Augustinian]] [[priory]] founded in 1103. The church has a nave and detached gatehouse. Monks at the priory made the [[Tickhill Psalter]], an illuminated manuscript of the medieval period, now held in [[New York Public Library]]. After the [[dissolution of the monasteries]], the east end of the church fell into disrepair, but the townspeople were granted the nave as a parish church. The eastern parts of the building have been restored in several phases, the most recent being in the 1970s when architect Lawrence King rebuilt the crossing.
