Old Brampton

Derbyshire

Mid C14 with C12

Architectural Features

mid C13 remains, fragments of sculpture of c1300, and Perpendicular additions and alterations.

The west window is of three Tudor-arched lights in a moulded rectangular opening.

Above the left-hand window is a re-set worn carved figure, and to the left of the right-hand window a carved 'Green Man' figure.

The inner doorway is Norman and probably re-set with a slight point to the round arch.

Set above the doorway is a stone tablet carved with a figure.

Above is a tablet (the upper part damaged) carved with a seated figure of Christ.

To the left is a figure of the Virgin and Child.

Between them is a chamfered doorway with triangular head, and above is the carved head of a 'Green Man'.

To each side of the tower arch are re-set canopied figures of St Peter and St Paul, formerly in the south wall of the south aisle.

Attached to the wall to the left of the arch is a grave slab to Matilda le Caus with a Lombardic inscription and with a carved head, shoulders, and hands holding a heart visible through a quatrefoil.

A memorial attached to the north wall of the north aisle was erected in 1673 in memory of the Clarke family and has crudely carved figure holding curtains away from the inscription.

A memorial to Geoffrey Clarke at the east end of the north aisle is of marble and carved with sarcophagus, urn, Corinthian pilasters, and a broken segmental pediment.

The octagonal sandstone font appears to be late C19 and has tracery decoration.

Late C19 glass includes an east window showing the Ascension of Christ, and two windows in the south wall of the chancel showing scenes from the life of Christ.
