Arcades

NOTES: Considered an outstanding example of Norman and Early English architecture, this church was built between 1120 and 1286. It became the Cathedral Church of Nottinghamshire in 1884. Extensive restoration, which included the rebuilding of the nave roof, was undertaken by Ewan Christian in 1851-1888.

NOTES: Construction on the original cathedral began in 1180 and was completed by the Lady Chapel in 1326. The nave was completed in 1220-1229. The scissor-arches (inverted strainer arches) were built c. 1338-1348 to support the tower when the foundations of the two western piers sank into the ground.

NOTES: This church on the Bedford estate was designed for the 8th Duke of Bedford by the Bedford estate architect, Henry Clutton, in 1868.

NOTES: This large, cruciform church is mostly 12th and 13th century.

NOTES: Garbett closely modelled this church on Salisbury Cathedral. It is considered an important example of the pre-Victorian church in Gothic Revival style.

NOTES: Construction on the chapel was begun by Edward IV in 1475 under the direction of the master mason, Henry Janyns, and was completed during the reign of Henry VIII in 1528. The present organ loft was built during restoration works in the reign of King George III. The design was by Henry Emlyn and sits on a screen constructed from an artificial stone called Coade.

NOTES: This cruciform church dates from c.1130. The chancel was rebuilt c.1260.
