St Michael’s Church, Derby is a Grade II listed redundant parish church in the Church of England in Derby.〔The Buildings of England. Derbyshire. Nikolaus Pevsner. p.172. Second Edition. 1978. Penguin Books Limited〕 ==History== The parish church was of medieval origins. The chancel collapsed on 17 August 1856〔Derbyshire Courier.Saturday 23 August 1856. p.3. ''Fall of a portion of St Michael’s Church, Derby''〕 which prompted the building of the new church starting on 1857. The foundation stone was laid by Sir William Evans, 1st Baronet on 15 April 1857, and the new building opened for worship on 8 April 1858. It was consecrated by The Lord Bishop of Lichfield John Lonsdale.〔Derby Mercury. Wednesday 14 April 1858. p.5. ''Opening of the new parish church of St Michael, Derby''〕 The new church retained some features from the old. Below the royal arms of Queen Anne on the east wall of the north aisle, there was some wrought ironwork possibly by Robert Bakewell, with repoussé ironwork, including a trumpet-bearing angel. The porch had 2 coffin slabs, one Saxon, the other 13th century. The chancel had three 18th century wall tablets. The new church had two stained glass windows at the east end of the aisles by Gibbs and Co of London. The main east end window was by N.W. Lavers of London. The church closed in 1977, and was converted into office premises and is used Lathams. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Michael's Church, Derby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
