About Meadows
Where to stay in Meadows
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Rooms are thin on the ground here. Guests generally book in central Nottingham and walk out, since the district's draws are Castle Ground, the Ornamental Pond In Memorial Gardens and the churches rather than a hotel strip. The Wilford end suits anyone happy with a longer walk in, with St Wilfrid's Church and the Wilford Bridge Toll House at the far edge.
Quiet nights are the trade.
About Meadows
What are the main landmarks in Meadows?
Churches mark the district. St George in the Meadows and St Saviours in the Meadows carry the name in their dedications, while St Faith's Church and the Friary United Reformed Church stand nearby. Castle Ground breaks the built-up run.
The Ornamental Pond In Memorial Gardens gives the district its one set piece of water, and Thorn House and The Elms survive as named houses among later building. St Wilfrid's Church, Wilford sits at the Wilford end.
What is the history of Meadows?
The name came from the ground. No charter year is recorded for Meadows, and what the record keeps instead is a roll of buildings, St George in the Meadows, St Saviours in the Meadows, the Wilford Bridge Toll House, that fixed the district's shape. Tolls were once taken at Wilford.
Thorn House and The Elms keep their own names on the list, while the Friary United Reformed Church and St Faith's Church stand among the streets of this part of Nottingham.
Where is Meadows?
The district runs from central Nottingham out to Wilford, which puts the Wilford Bridge Toll House and St Wilfrid's Church inside its bounds.
