St Edmund's Church, Castleton, is a Grade II* listed[1] parish church in the Church of England in Castleton, Derbyshire.[2]
History[edit]
The church dates from the 12th century, and has some 14th-century elements. Alterations were carried out in 1831 when the south porch was built, and the aisles were demolished. A restoration was carried out in 1886 by Hill Brothers of Tideswell.[3]
The tower of St. Edmund's contains a ring of eight bells, with the heaviest six cast in 1802, and two trebles cast in 1812.[4] All bells were cast by James II Harrison,[5] and are unusual for their light weight (11 hundredweight), while being in the key of E-flat. Modern, tuned bells in this key normally weigh in the region of 20 hundredweight.[6]
