Summary

[edit]
Description

Interior of Chesterfield parish church, St Mary and All Saints, Chesterfield, Derbyshire. This is a Grade I listed building, begun in the 14th century. It has had a number of rebuilds and restorations. for example, in 1874, architect Samuel Rollinson restored the south transept, fitting a new window, and rebuilding a forgotten medieval doorway, Charles Mawer was employed to replace and carve the missing dog-toothed stones from the door's archway.

This is an unedited scan of a real-photograph postcard, postmarked 26 February 1921. It shows a view looking east through the nave to the chancel arch and rood screen. It shows the Jacobean pulpit on the north side of the chancel arch, and the brass eagle lectern on the south side, plus in the foreground the rows of pews with their carved, wooden finials. (The restoration by Temple Moore including the removal of the box pews in the aisles took place between 1896 and 1910. The replica of the original Foljambe chantry chapel screen was installed in the chancel in 1915, but the chancel arch rood screen was installed during or after 1916.)
