Church of All Saints

All Saints’ Church stands in Kirk Hallam, a village in Derbyshire. The building dates from the 14th century and is listed at Grade I. In the 19th century George Edmund Street led a full restoration. New buttresses were added, a porch built, the south wall underpinned, pews removed for open seating, the tower arch opened up and the floor relaid in Minton tiles. The church reopened on 21 August 1859. The pipe organ was installed by Charles Lloyd and Co and dedicated on 7 May 1904. The Bishop of Derby performed the ceremony. The instrument remains in daily use for services and recitals. Its case and pipes occupy the west end of the nave. Visitors can hear it played during Sunday services. Inside, the church offers open seating arranged around a central aisle. The restored 14th-century windows still contain fragments of medieval glass. The tower arch frames views of the nave’s high roof. Outside, Kirk Hallam’s lanes lead to quiet footpaths across open fields. The churchyard contains yew and oak trees planted long before the restoration.
