We have been to Mass in Nottingham Cathedral. It is not an ancient church and it is extremely well kept. The decoration is Tudor in parts and there is a most beautiful side chapel painted in the very strong colours of that era. The singing and the music were wonderful! Following mass we walked up the hill which takes you to the old cemetery. Interesting shops were all along the road – all closed for Sunday but containing the most eclectic collection of things – furniture, flowers, clothes, bric-a-brac and costume shops. Prices were all over the place and there seemed neither rhyme nor reason for the value attached to the articles on display. From there we walked down to the canal and watched the long boats going through the locks and travelling along the waterway. Our final tourist activity for the day was The Museum of Nottingham life – full of toys, models, clothes and really good information about the past peoples of Notts.
