High Pavement, The Lace Market

It is sited on the area of the original Saxon settlement that became Nottingham, and also boasts the oldest Christian Foundation in the city, predating the Norman conquest. The current St. Mary's Church on that site, the third church thought to have stood there and completed in 1474, is an excellent example of early English Perpendicular architecture. It is said to be probably one of the finest mediaeval parish churches in England.
