Worksop
Believed to have been in existence since Anglo
Saxon times, this unique market town in the
north of Nottinghamshire is aptly dubbed the
‘gateway to the Dukeries’. This influence
is even reflected in the town centre. At
Bridge Street and Bridge Place – the heart of
Worksop’s thriving retail community – coloured
stone is set into the paving on the pedestrian
streets, depicting the local heraldic crests.
There is also a paved maze featuring a heraldic
lion and unicorn, giving the town a sense of
real historical character.
The
Augustian Priory of St Cuthbert and St Mary was
founded in 1103 and the surviving part consists
of the nave, western front and twin towers,
built in the late 12th century. |
