Churches (196) : St Giles, Matlock

The parish church of St Giles in Matlock, Derbyshire has medieval origins though much of the current church is due to later additions or rebuilds with the Perpendicular tower being one of the few survivors of the original church. The south porch was added in 1636 and the chancel 1859. The entire church was demolished in 1871 except for the tower and chancel and was completely rebuilt. The south aisle and a chapel were added in 1897. The vestry dates from 1907.

The church is built from local gritstone with freestone dressings.
