A History of the Parish
Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Nottingham
Introduction
Who built the great perpendicular
Church of St. Mary's Nottingham and when?
Who contributed to its survival,
restoration and further additions?
These are all questions which have remained poorly reported in the several
Guides written from 1874 onwards. Here, an attempt is made to answer such
enigmas and to give credit where it really is due.
