Church of Holy Trinity Church Street Ashford-on- the-Water Derbyshire

ASHFORD. - The little village church of Ashford, Derbyshire, has recently (with the exception of the tower) been rebuilt. The old building possessed little architectural or antiquarian interest, and it was, besides, in so dilapidated a condition that reconstruction had become a work of necessity. The Tudor feeling in the old church has been maintained throughout the new work. The roofs are open‑timbered, covered with tiles. The walls are of grey limestone, and for the windows, doors, and other parts, yellowish local sandstone is used. Messrs Medland and Henry Taylor, of Manchester, are the architects, and the contract was taken by Mr Joseph Brown, of Matlock Bridge. [Building News 1 July 1870 page 13]
