Cathedral Church of Nottinghamshire. Set in the picturesque Georgian market town of Southwell, just 6 miles from the A1, this beautiful church dates back to 1108. Home to the world famous 'Leaves of Southwell', medieval stonecarvings dating back to the 13th century and widely regarded as amongst the finest in all of Europe. Beautiful stained-glass windows and woodcarvings throughout. Next door to The Archbishop's Palace, a must-see in itself. Cathedral Gift Shop and cafe.

I visited to renew my acquaintance with the Minster after many years absence. A lovely warm welcome from the stewards on duty which set the scene for a wonderful visit. This is one of my favourite cathedrals and the Norman architecture and the medieval carvings are breathtaking. It is a must see gem. Lovely cafe selling delicious food and an excellent shop which sells unusual and tasteful gifts.

If you get a chance when in Newark to visit the church, even just for a coffee and cake it is well worth it. On certain days throughout the year there is a tour where you can go up the tower to the bottom of the spire and the guide will inform you of the history of the church and all for £2. I have done this twice, but then again I do love Newark on Trent. Also at the moment the Christmas tree display is on, well worth a look.

When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly gentle man by the name of Harold, who gave us a guided tour and explanation of the history of the Church and the local area. It was really nice to, one have the church open to the public (unlike other churches) and two, someone to explain the history and background of the church. The guided tour by the Harold was more informative about Sherwood, Nottingham, Robin Hood and the Kings than the actual Sherwood Forest visitors centre which had nothing. I would recommend that one definitely visits this Church and take in the beauty, history of the local area.

Went to pay our respects to Byron and Ada but the whole experience was made so special by the volunteers who were so welcoming. An informative exhibition about the locality, church and all different people associated with St Mary's adds to the detail and history. The beautiful Kempe stained glass is glorious and the arts and crafts feel of the church with the gorgeous carved pews and altar makes the place very special. Go and support and enjoy this fantastic place.
