The Parish Church of Saint Mary the Virgin
(The Chapel of Our Lady)
Standing next to the now lost Clumber House in the Dukeries of Nottinghamshire, Clumber Chapel was commissioned by Henry Pelham-Clinton, 7th Duke of Newcastle and completed in 1889. The church was built by George Frederick Bodley, being described as his greatest work.
The church is on a cruciform plan, and has a central tower, which contains one bell and has a 175 ft spire rising out of an octagonal corona. It is in the "second Pointed" style of Gothic architecture. The nave interior is plain but the chancel is decorated and contains stained glass by Charles Kempe.
