History

The corner stone for the church was laid by William Cavendish, 7th Duke of Devonshire on 29 March 1864. [3] The architect was George Gilbert Scott and the contractors were Thompson and Fryer and even though incomplete, it was consecrated on 10 May 1866 by Rt. Revd. John Lonsdale the Bishop of Lichfield. [4]

The font was designed by Scott and carved by Mr. Hall of Derby. It consisted of an octagonal bowl of grey Derbyshire fossil marble, with a clustered column of green Connemara and Red Belgian marble.

Work on the tower and spire started in 1880 and it was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield on 30 December 1881. [5]

The musician Ronald Binge, composer of BBC Radio Four's theme tune 'Sailing By' was a boy chorister at the church in the 1920s.

The church became redundant in the 1960s and was demolished in 1971. The parish merged with that of St Osmund's Church, Derby.

Organ

An organ was installed in 1866 for the opening of the church. A new organ was installed in 1902 by Forster and Andrews. It was modified in 1919 by Nicholson and Lord and again in 1928 by J.H. Adkins of Derby. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. [6]
