All Saints
Clipstone, Nottinghamshire
The Bolsover Colliery Company gave the site and £3,000 for the building of this miners’church, in red brick, which was dedicated in 1928.
In the early years of the 13th century the presence of a priest is recorded and the earliest extant fabric of the body of the church has been dated to the 14th century.
What are claimed to be the remains of a stone preaching cross, which pre-dated the church, are preserved in a glass case in the south transept. The church was restored in 1873 by TC Hine, which included the construction of the Savile Chapel and a kerbed tomb to the First Baron Savile is to be found in the south of the churchyard. The octagonal oak pulpit with linen fold carving is approached up two steps. The 12th century stone drum font has an inner stone bowl and is located at the rear of the nave. Mounted on the walls in the Savile Chapel are two war memorials in brass plaques and an alabaster and brass highly decorated memorial to display a wreath sent by Queen Victoria on the death of Augustus Savile.
