St Mary's Church

St Mary's Church is a medieval parish church in central Nottingham with a tall bell tower containing twelve bells. Inside, visitors find an octagonal medieval font and stained glass windows from the late Victorian period.

The site was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The current building developed between the 14th and 15th centuries, with main elements completed by 1475.

The church serves as both Nottingham's Civic Church and the University Church for the University of Nottingham. Visitors can observe how this place brings together community worship, academic celebrations, and official city ceremonies.

The church sits in central Nottingham and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should check ahead to see if services or events are happening, as these may affect access to the building.

The church door from the 1370s is the oldest surviving door in all of Nottingham. It stands as a testament to how long this place has remained a center of religious life.
