Derbyshire Churches and Chapels

FOREWORD

by The Right Reverend Jonathan S Bailey, Bishop of Derby

 The Churches and Chapels of Derbyshire have been described in many ways before by virtue of architectural and historical merit. Indeed we have world-leading treasures on our doorstep here. But these ancient and modern stones are used and loved by "living stones", the Christian people of our own generation. This new book points to their worship and other activities as well as the building and its contents. I warmly commend this resource to its readers, and pray God's blessing for all who will visit the places and communities it describes.
