St Peter & St Paul
Old Brampton, Derbyshire
A Grade I listed church dating back to the 12th century.
The 'high' Anglo Catholic worship tradition of St Lawrence is rarely found in village churches these days.
The churchyard has very good rural views and is a favoured place for ramblers to rest and have a flask and a sandwich.
The church has links to the Barley family who lived at Barley Hall (now demolished) until the end of the 16th century. The son, Robert, was the first husband of Bess of Hardwick, but he died at the age of 15.
Barlow is one of the Derbyshire villages with the longest history of the tradition of well dressing, which takes place after the 10th August (festival of St Lawrence) each year. During wells week, there is a highly regarded flower festival in church with refreshments and cream teas being served throughout the week.
