Chapel of St Mary on the Bridge
Derby, Derbyshire
Dating largely from the 14th century, this little chapel originally stood on the first arch of a medieval bridge over the Derwent; the springing of the arch can still be seen below the east wall.
Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin was one of 19th century England's foremost architects, a proponent of Gothic Revival, and the mastermind behind the Houses of Parliament in London.

St Mary's was one of his first ventures into the Gothic Revival, and its foundation stone was laid on 28th June 1838, Queen Victoria's Coronation Day.
The church is elegant inside and out, and benefits from a footbridge that was built over the A601 in 2007, which gives the best view of Pugin's design.
