Church of All Saints

All Saints’ Church stands in the quiet Derbyshire village of Weston Underwood, a Grade I listed building built in the 11th century. Its stone walls enclose a west tower, a nave with a south aisle and porch, and a chancel. Restoration in 1894 opened the arch between the belfry and the nave, letting more light into the interior. In 1925 the tower and west end were repointed and grouted to keep the structure sound. The church holds several notable memorials to local families and clergy. A plain slab marks Nicolas Kniveton, who died in 1500, while Joanna Kniveton’s brass dates from 1475. Samuel Webster and Samuel Pole, both buried in 1759 and 1758, share a tablet on the wall. William Bateman’s tablet records his death in 1821. Inside, visitors find the Peter Conacher pipe organ installed against the north wall. The organ case and pipes sit beneath a clear, high roof that rises above the nave. The south aisle leads to the porch, where a small stone bench offers a place to rest. Outside, the churchyard holds yew and ash trees that frame distant views of the surrounding farmland.
