All Saints

At the far end of a rural village street, and feeling a very long way from the industrial estates only a few miles away, Dale Abbey is one of England's most idiosyncratic churches.

Address

Dale Abbey
Derbyshire
DE7 4PN

It is tiny, picturesque, and takes up one side of a building, and so is semi-detached, the other part being a private house.

There was an abbey here in the 12th century, but it has long been in ruins, and the little church is all that remains intact from the abbey buildings. It even has a fragment of 13th century wall painting inside to prove its credentials.

The interior is packed with a remarkable jumble of old furniture and fittings, some from the 17th century.
