All Saints Church, Dalbury Lees

All Saints Church,
Dalbury, DE6 5BR,
Dalbury Lees, Derbyshire.

Cemeteries

This Church has (or had) a graveyard.
Note: any church within an urban environment may have had its graveyard closed after the Burial Act of 1853. Any new church built after that is unlikely to have had a graveyard at all.

Church History

This Place of Worship was founded in the 13th century, and we understand it is still open.

Kelly's Directory of 1932 describes Dalbury's Church as "an ancient edifice of stone in the Later English style, consisting of chancel, nave of two bays, north aisle, south porch, and an embattled belfry on the west side containing 2 bells, dating from 1650". There are some richly stained windows, one of which, displaying a figure of St Michael, is supposed to date from the 13th century. The font has a curiously carved cover. There are 129 sittings. The parish records date from 1545. The living was then a rectory, united with the vicarage of Long Lane, in the gift of R. De T. Sneyd esq. and the Vicar of Sutton on the Hill alternately, and (in 1932) held since 1889 by the Rev. John Joseph Wardale B.A. of Jesus College Cambridge.
DALBURY (or Dawbry) and LEES then formed a joint township and parish, in the hundred of Appletree, rural district of Repton, rural deanery of Longford, archdeaconry and diocese of Derby.
The return to the Religious Census of 1851 (HO 129/375/2/7/7) records that "Dalbury Church is a Norman Church; the name of which is All Saints. It is a very handsome CHurch & in perfect repair". Evidently it was quite small, as there were just 157 sittings, of which 75 were free. The average congregation, to morning service only, was 55, with 20 Sunday Scholars. The return was completed by the Rector, Revd. Charles Evelyn Cotton, and he remarked that "it must be observed that two thirds of the population live near two miles from the Church & the population so small that there is duty only once a day as they could not attend more & the duty is alternate morning and evening with another Church Trusley a mile distant".
The Revd. Cotton was also Rector of Trusley - for which see the separate entry in this database.

Denomination

Now or formerly Church of England.

If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.

Search Tips:

You can specify either a Place, or OS Grid Reference to search for. When you specify a Place, only entries for that place will be returned, with Places of Worship listed in alphabetical order. If you specify a Grid Reference, Places of Worship in the immediate vicinity will be listed, in order of distance from the Grid Reference supplied. The default is to list 10, but you can specify How Many you want to see, up to a maximum of 100.

You can further refine your search by supplying other search terms.

You can specify entries with ('Yes') or without ('No') photographs.

You can specify a church or chapel's Dedication, to restrict entries to those containing the term you supply as a dedication. So for instance, 'John' would return 'St John', 'St Mary and St John', 'St John the Divine' &c.

You can specify a Street address, and likewise 'George' will return George Place, St George's Street, George and Dragon, &c.

You can restrict the search to classes of Denomination. The exact denomination is always shown in the results, although the search is for broad types. Thus you can search for 'Methodist', but not 'Wesleyan Methodist' or 'Primitive Methodist'. 'Multi-denominational' includes Ecumenical Partnerships, and 'Miscellaneous' means anything not covered by other broad classes.
