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.
Opening times
Visitors and guests are very welcome on any given Sunday, and tourists that simply want to have a look around are welcome on most Saturday mornings 9am to 11am when the church is made open to the public (second Saturday of the month excepted for Messy Church, but the church is open on Friday).
The church is closed through August.

The church building itself shows signs of having started as a late medieval Catholic chapel, having been through the reformation with a number of changes made, then further changes by the Victorians and the Oxford movement to restore more Catholic style worship, and there are even signs of the second world war leaving its mark.
Today the church is used by a lively and active congregation which seeks to serve God, each other and the community around us as much as we can, in the name of Jesus.
