A significant Catholic church. According to https://www.stmarysparish.co.uk/History.html ; "The opening of St Mary’s Church, Derby, in October 1839, marked a significant moment not simply for Derby Catholics but also for 19th century English Catholicism. It was the beginning of the fruits of Catholic emancipation, and in the words of Dr Wiseman marked “the real transition from chapel to church architecture amongst us”"
