Nottingham Cathedral, dedicated to St Barnabas, was designed by A. W. N. Pugin. The Rev. Robert William Willson retained him, and Lord Shrewsbury paid a substantial part of the 15,000 pound cost. Construction ran from 1841 to 1844, and Pugin left before completion after being named Bishop-Elect of Hobart in 1842.
The infobox gives Neo-Gothic, while the text calls it Early English Plain Gothic, with a richer Blessed Sacrament Chapel. It is 150 feet (46 m) high according to the infobox, and the text calls it the largest Catholic church built in England since the Reformation. The article names no materials. It is Grade II* listed.
The church became a cathedral in 1852. After the Second Vatican Council the old high altar and cathedra were removed and most painted decoration was whitewashed. In 2022 a project began to uncover Pugin's original Lady Chapel decoration. The article gives no hours.
