St Mary
Derby, Derbyshire
Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin was one of 19th century England's foremost architects, a proponent of Gothic Revival, and the mastermind behind the Houses of Parliament in London.
Dating largely from the 14th century, this little chapel originally stood on the first arch of a medieval bridge over the Derwent; the springing of the arch can still be seen below the east wall.

It offered spiritual reassurance to travellers setting out into the wild lands beyond the bridge
After a long and varied career, including being used as a prison and a carpenter's workshop, it fell into ruins, and was eventually restored by the Haslam family in the early 20th century.
Work on embellishing the interior has carried on since, and today the chapel is a fully functioning place of worship.
