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 a scan of an unused real-photograph postcard with split back. The photo was taken before the rood screen had been installed. It shows a view from the gallery looking east towards the Chancel. You can see the chancel arch and the five-light east window of 1843 by William Wailes. The Jacobean pulpit is on the left or north side of the chancel arch. The brass eagle lectern has been moved into the centre aisle. In the foreground is the nave arcade and the rows of pews. In the aisles are the new free seats. (The restoration by Temple Moore including the removal of the box pews 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.) The postcard is dated between 1902 and 1914 on the understanding that silver nitrate for photographs was not available for civilian use during WWI.
