In front of the entrance to the former St. Mary's Boys' School is the Bellar Gate Rest Garden. This Rest Garden is the site of one of the St. Mary's burial grounds. It was granted to St. Mary's Church for the sum of ten shillings by Evelyn, Duke of Kingston on 17 March 1742. In the 1830s it was used to accommodate the victims of a Cholera epidemic. It was finally closed in 1887 and the city council now maintains the rest garden under a perpetual licence from the Chancellor of the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham.
