SK4167 : St James the Apostle Church, Temple Normanton
taken 17 years ago, near to Temple Normanton, Derbyshire, England
St James the Apostle Church, Temple Normanton
At least four churches have been built on the site with a story to rival "The Three Little Pigs"...
A pre-Norman church was replaced by a Victorian stone one. However, this suffered the effects of subsidence caused by mining activity at the nearby Grassmoor Collieries and was replaced by a wooden church in 1922. This temporary structure was unable to withstand the strong westerly winds and was replaced in 1986 by the current sturdy structure made of fibreglass!
