St.Mary’s and St.George’s Coptic Orthodox Church
A grade listed church on St.Matthias Road, off Carlton Road, in St.Anns; had become pretty derelict and a focus for ASB; transformed in 6 years by the Coptic Orthodox church, who have 23 millions followers in Egypt.

A special addition to the city of Nottingham.
