👍👍 A well-maintained Anglican church in the city centre; a few steps away from Old Market Square. A local told me that the original church had been destroyed by fire around 1153 after Matilda’s attack. Empress Matilda was among those who claimed the English throne during the Anarchy (civil war). Matild... People often mention church, beautiful, cafe,

    A well-maintained Anglican church in the city centre; a few steps away from Old Market Square. A local told me that the original church had been destroyed by fire around 1153 after Matilda’s attack. Empress Matilda was among those who claimed the English throne during the Anarchy (civil war). Matilda, who fought against her cousin, was the daughter of Henry I of England.

    Lovely church in the centre of Nottingham. Pop into the cafe and enjoy a home baked cake or a light lunch. Jacket potato, quiche, salad.

    Gorgeous church with a very serene feel about it. There was also an art exhibit inside. There is also a history of the Rectors from 1241 till now. In the heart of town this is worth the stop. Would recommend.

    I love that the church has an open door policy, so anyone feeling low in mood, wanting a quiet moment in the presence or God or wanting to pray, can enter in. They will also find support and the ability to share in a safe space if they wish to.

    Interesting Anglican church in the heart of Nottingham. One of the more beautiful churches in town, with many architectural and art history details to be discovered. The church shows traces of many stages of construction from about 1180 onwards. The nice café was unfortunately closed for renovation during my latest visit. Well worth a visit on any trip to the city.

    St. Peter’s is beautiful and so tranquil. We were made very welcome on our too brief visit.

    Yes ..I attended service from here last Sunday 10:30- 12:45pm.its an Anglican church but if you believe in God it's a great place to fellowship and meet fellow believers as well

    I went to the lovely little cafe at the side of the church. run by volunteers, homemade food, always clean and welcoming. would definitely reccomend instead of fast food. They have highchairs, baby change, and toilets upstairs. Also the giftshop next to cafe. To get an advent calendar without chocolate!

    I was part of seen exhibition here expressing images of a small part of its history. The church will always be the people not the building but as a place to meet and encourage each other it feels comforting.

    Very nice looking art of architecture with decent lighting after it's getting dark. A lot of fast food restaurants around including McDonald's. Beware of UberEats and Deliveroo guys sprinting everywhere from morning till midnight ☺

    This is a lovely cafe, the food is first rate and all homemade. I usually have salad or soup but today I had had pasta bake. It was very tasty with a wonderful cheese sauce, pipping hot and filling. The staff are friendly and welcoming and work very hard to keey a busy centre of town cafe clean and tidy 👍👍👍

    I visited on 11th December for the Christmas Concert with the Bach Choir. The concert was fabulous and the medley of carols by the choir was stunning. The church is a beautiful building in the centre of the city with intricate carvings and stained glass windows to admire. Religious or not, the building is worth a visit if you are in Nottingham.
