Matlock, Parish Church
St Giles Parish Church, 116 Church St, Matlock DE4 3BZ, 01629-582-199.
Matlock Parish included Matlock Bath with
Scarthin until 1843, Lumsdale, Matlock Cliff and Riber (transferred
to the parish of Tansley in 1865) and Matlock Bank until 1886.
Parish Registers from 1637 are held at Derbyshire Record Office
01629-585-347.
The Lychgate was erected in 1908. It derives from an Old English
name for a corpse, and the roofed churchyard gate was used to rest
the bier under, while permission was gained to enter the church.
The stone gate posts were also moved outwards and the wall altered.
The fifteenth Century Church underwent considerable alterations in
1859 and 1871, and in 1898 a Lady chapel was added.
The sign seems to read "Children are forbidden...", presumably from
playing in the Churchyard.
Unposted, taken 1898-1902
Posted 1910
Posted 1906, notice reads "Children are forbidden..."
Unposted, taken after 1908 (Lych gate built).
Posted 1911, new gates, wall and Lychgate (erected 1908)
