The parish church of St Cecilia is a small aisleless church almost totally rebuilt in 1879. Fleet Cottage is a rare example of an early north-east Nottinghamshire cottage of the 17th century, with a timber-framed upper storey on a limestone ground floor.[4] Girton has many floodplains from the River Trent that support many species of plants and wildlife such as Meadow Foxtail and Meadowsweet.[5]

A reference to Girton appears in John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72), in which the village was said to have 46 houses and a property value of £2,056.[6]
