St Mary's Church in the Lace Market
Free
The Tower will open for guided tours on Saturday 13 September.

About St Mary's:
St Mary's Church is the ancient Parish and civic church in the city of Nottingham and is well over 500 years old. Referred to in the Domesday Survey, then in the 12th Century Nottingham was burnt down three times and St Mary's destroyed and rebuilt. Evidence can be seen of the Norman Church. The present building was started in 1386 and completed in 1475. It was the town's largest building and used for civic and legal purposes including the election and swearing in of the Mayor and Corporation.
The oldest door can be found in the North aisle. During the reign of Charles II, it became compulsory to display the Royal Arms in a church. St Mary's Church still has the Lion and the Unicorn freestanding at the west end of the aisle with cushion and crown above the West door.
More info:
Sensible footwear is essential and bags can be left in the church.
This event is free but donations are gladly accepted.
Also in church refreshments will be served and heritage displays, brass rubbing and children's activities will be on offer for all to try.
