Church of All Saints

All Saints’ Church stands in the village of Wingerworth in Derbyshire. It is a Grade I listed parish church built in the 12th century with later additions from the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. The church was restored between 1903 and 1905 at a cost of £370. During the restoration a new east window by Clayton and Bell was added in memory of Hon. Adelaide Augusta Wilhelmina Hunloke. The font was replaced and the nave and aisles were re-pewed. The church is worth visiting for its historic fabric and the craftsmanship it preserves. The organ installed in 1867 by Brindley & Foster was replaced in 2006 by a new instrument by Henry Groves & Son. The restoration work of the early 20th century was overseen by the Bishop of Southwell Sir Edwyn Hoskyns, 12th Baronet. More recently the church was extended between 1963 and 1964 by the architects Naylor, Sale and Widdows. Inside the church the visitor finds a nave and aisles laid out after the 1905 restoration. The east window by Clayton and Bell remains a notable feature. The replacement font and reseated pews date from the same period. The newer organ by Henry Groves & Son stands where the old one once did. The church’s Grade I listing recognises its national importance as a historic building.
