Description
St Peter's, Hope...
As William the Conqueror invaded England the Parish of Hope was not only the most important parish in Derbyshire but it was the mother church for one of the largest parishes in England with over 40,000 acres and was among one of the handful of Derbyshire villages to be mentioned before the Doomsday Survey of 1086.
A large but beautifully kept graveyard surrounds the ornate church and a tree lined path leads the way from the main gate to the South porch.
The Medieval masons who worked on the church must have been given a fairly free rein as the building has many interesting and elaborate stone carvings, intricate finials and gargoyles.
The church itself is the second place of Worship to sit on this site, the first church to occupy the ground was prior to the Norman Conquest.
There are six bells in the tower at St Peters church, five of these were recast in 1733. One of the bells has the Devonshire coat of arms inscribed on it.
