St. Giles' Church, West Bridgford is an Anglican parish church in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire.

Contents

The church is Grade II listed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport as it is a building of special architectural or historic interest.

History

St. Giles is a medieval church but little remains. It was restored by Thomas Chambers Hine in 1872 and again by Naylor and Sale between 1896 and 1911. [1] The foundation stone for the restoration in 1896 was laid on 18 October 1896 [2] by Lady Byron of Thrumpton Hall. This restoration involved a new nave and chancel at a cost of £5,500. [3]

Features

It retains a medieval screen from the late fourteenth century. There is some stained glass by James Powell and Sons.

Organ

A small organ dating from 1840 was bought in 1871 from St. Stephen's Church, Sneinton. It was sold to Lady Bay Church in 1898 when the next pipe organ by Charles Lloyd and Co built at a cost of £500 (equivalent to £59,900in 2021) [4] was opened on 22 November 1899 [5] Although provision was made for three manuals, only two were initially fitted with pipes as an additional £300 was required to complete the work.

It was enlarged in 1919 when it was moved to the newly constructed King George Aisle. In 1951 it was rebuilt by Henry Willis & Sons and again in 1971. [6] It was replaced by an electronic organ in 1993. The organ console was used in the rebuilding of an organ in Trinity United Reformed Church, Wimbledon, London.
