Welcome to your Cathedral
The Cathedral Church of St Barnabas is a Grade II* listed building in the heart of Nottingham City Centre.
It was designed by the renowned architect Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin and dedicated in 1844. It is a thriving parish community and also the seat of Bishop Patrick McKinney, 10th Bishop of Nottingham, making it the ‘Mother Church’ of the Catholic community across much of the East Midlands.
180 years after its foundation stone was laid, the Cathedral continues to welcome tens of thousands of people each year to experience its peaceful presence as a place of worship, to explore its fascinating architectural history and to enjoy its cultural and musical offerings. As we seek to share the spiritual and architectural riches of Nottingham Cathedral with new generations, we hope you enjoy using our new website.
