St Mary, Nantwich: west end
The west end of the church shows the red sandstone from which it is built, which apparently came from a quarry near the Dee estuary. The west doors are now kept permanently open, with an inner glazed screen giving views into the church.

St Mary, Nantwich: Jubilee curtain
This large curtain was made to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977, and covered the whole width of the narthex until 2016 when the decision was made to permanently open the main west doors, with a glazed screen inside them to allow passers-by to see into the church. The curtain has therefore been drawn aside to facilitate this.
