About St Mary's Church (Lace Market)

"St Mary's is the ancient Parish and Civic Church of Nottingham. The present building, well over 500 years old, is believed to be at least the third church on the site." Built between 1386 and 1475, the biggest building in the Lace Market, and on Hustle night the biggest room of the day.
