All Saints' Church, Annesley

All Saints’ Church stands in the village of Annesley in Nottinghamshire. It is a Church of England parish church built in 1874 to designs by the architect Thomas Graham Jackson. The building replaced an older church on the Annesley estate and was given Grade II* listing for its special architectural importance. Services continued at both sites until 1942. The church’s interior was gutted by fire in 1907 but reopened two years later. The church’s most notable features are the Norman font and the large east window. Many monuments, including the painted achievement of arms of Patrick Chaworth, 3rd Viscount Chaworth, were moved here from the old church in 1874. The organ is a three-manual instrument built by F. Rothwell of Harrow, listed in the National Pipe Organ Register. William Henry Renshaw served as organist from 1897 until about 1912. Inside, the restored interior shows the contrast between the surviving Norman font and the later Gothic Revival windows. The east window fills the chancel with coloured light. The painted Chaworth arms hang above the nave arcade. The organ case stands at the west end, its three manuals visible through the screen.
