St Mary s is the oldest parish in Nottingham. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book and is believed to originate in 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 entire nave was finished before 1475 and is notable for its uniformity of style. St Mary s ministers to many different groups; in addition to its civic status it is the University Church for the University of Nottingham and several schools and organizations hold annual services there. In recent years St Mary s has become the venue for a wide range of concerts and public performances. The Anglican Choral Tradition is held in great esteem - a combination of fine local singers and Choral Scholars allows the Choir to maintain the highest standard at all sung services. Further information regarding the Choir can be found at www.stmaryschoirnottingham.com St Peter s, alongside St Mary s and St Nicholas, is one of the three ancient parishes of Nottingham, established originally in the eleventh century as part of the development associated with the building of the Norman castle in 1088. The present building, begun in 1187, is reputedly the oldest building in Nottingham that has been continually used since its original construction. Although not much remains visible of the original 12th Century building, there are signs of its development through virtually all 800 years of its existence. St Peter s, like St Mary s, has maintained a lively but essentially traditional liturgical life as part of its seven day ministry at the heart of the city centre, and is proud of its all-age choir, which continues to lead Sunday services throughout the year. There is a variety of forms of service offered at St Peter s, with the Eucharist at its heart, including both modern and traditional language liturgies and a monthly service using the music of the Taizé community. The Churches are fitted with a hearing induction loop for those who are hearing impaired. Simply switch your hearing aid to the T position.
