Church of All Saints, South Wingfield Derbyshire (a popular dedication in these parts) dates from the 12c but was rebuilt in the 15c by Sir Ralph 3rd Baron Cromwell 1455, Chancellor of England flic.kr/p/p1TYLU who in 1441 also started building the (now ruined) Wingfield Manor nearby www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=ai3zgcs... (the house was still unfinished at his death in 1455 and completed by George Talbot 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury husband of Bess of Hardwick and was where in 1569 & 1584 Mary Queen of Scots was confined)
In 1803 the aisle and nave windows were remodeled, followed by the chancel in 1877 which was refashioned in the then favoured Gothic Revival style.
It consists of a three stage west tower, aisled nave, south porch, clerestory & chancel with north vestry.
