St. Mary's Parish Church, Hucknall, 1824

Market Place
Hucknall
England

The building itself is of great architectural interest and is built on the site of an old Saxon church. The church tower was constructed in stages between the 12th and 14th century whilst the porch was built in 1320. The rest of the building is the result of extensive restoration work which began in 1872. In 1888 the Lady Chapel was re-built, a beautiful example of nineteenth century craftsmanship. The Victorian baptistery which used to contain the 14th century font has now been converted into a Visitor Centre where display boards and wall panels give visitors a chance to find out a little more about the Church.
