A second smaller stoup by the south entrance with octagonal bowl on an undecorated round column.
"The Cathedral church of the Diocese. Built in one phase by A.W.N Pugin with his builder George Myers, and funded in part by Pugin’s patron Lord Shrewsbury. The stone-built Cathedral and its 150 ft spire are conspicuous landmarks on the Derby Road to the west of Nottingham city centre. It is designed in Early English style rather than Pugin’s favoured Middle Pointed, the design inspired in part by the medieval Cistercian house at Croxton, Staffordshire."
