St. Marys Church

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is the oldest religious foundation in the City of Nottingham, England, and is also the largest church after the Roman Catholic Cathedral. It is situated at the heart of the historic Lace Market district and is also known as St Mary's in the Lace Market. It is a Grade I listed building and a member of the Greater Churches Group.

History
 
The high altar
The church is mentioned in the Domesday Book and is believed to go back deep into Saxon times. The main body of the present building (at least the third on the site) dates from the end of the reign of Edward III (1377) to that of Henry VII (1485-1509). The nave was finished before 1475 and it is notable for its uniformity of style. It is likely that the south aisle wall was the first part of the building to be constructed in the early 1380s, with the remainder of the nave and transepts being from the early 1400s. The tower was completed in the reign of Henry VIII.

The church has a fine collection of late Victorian stained glass windows by many famous makers, including Kempe, Burlison & Grylls and Hardman & Co. It is also known for its mediæval font with a palindromic Greek inscription, and rather battered alabaster tomb fragments, one of which portrays a lily crucifix and another Archbishop Thomas Becket.
