St Mary’s Church Nottingham — Attraction in Nottingham

Came upon this impressive 15th century church while exploring Nottingham's historic Lace Market. A service had just finished and I was more than welcome to look around. It's like a small cathedral inside, wide and spacious with wonderful stained glass windows, medieval tombs and an interesting old clock. Full of historic interest, atmospheric and very peaceful. The stonework on the exterior of the church is beautiful and very ornate. There are a couple of interesting stories about Robin Hood on an info board near the entrance to the churchyard. According to a medieval ballad, he was captured here by the Sheriff of Nottingham's men while confessing his sins. Only a short walk from Nottingham's bustling Old Market Square, this church is well...

A beautiful space. Okay, its not York or Canterbury, but it sits on a high hill in the city crowded around with Georgian houses (and buildings from the 1800's lace-making times, so check out the Adams building too). The church has loads of history so read about it prior to or during your visit. Afterwards pop-in to St. Peters' church too. Check out the wealth difference where St Peters' is for the plebs and St Mary is for the 'posh'. St Marys has a super choir and orchestra; worth looking out for an event. Oh! and temperature-wise its usually a warm church too. I hope you...

Beautiful church. Open to public and has toilets as well. Self guided tour here, go on a weekday and you will have church to your self. Massive windows with a different saint in each window in stained glass form. The church is big, like massive, makes you feel small and in awe that humans worked together with Gods fortitude to create such a beautiful work of art. Private chapel is secluded and beautiful. Exterior of church is wonderfuly cared for. Wish I could attend a service here at the height of its use. Will come back again to...
