The parish church of St Mary the Virgin has Saxon origins and is the oldest church in Nottingham. Most of the current building though dates from the 14th and 15th centuries including the nave and south aisle. The tower was completed in the early 16th century. The church was restored in the 1840s.
The church is in the Gothic perpendicular style and is made from ashlar. The church is laid out in a cruciform plan with a crossing tower and transepts. There is a nave with aisles, though the chancel does not have aisles.
