All Saints Church, Kedleston

The only remaining part of that church is the Norman south doorway and the adjoining wall.

This included raising the level of the roof line, installing a new timber ceiling, adding a new west window in Decorated style, laying a new floor, and removing the box pews from the nave.

In 1908, Lord George Curzon added the Kedleston Chapel to the north of the nave over a burial vault.

[7] There are currently two custodians at this site who are in charge of caring and protecting the church during its opening hours.

The south doorway is Norman in style, having a round-headed arch decorated with a zigzag pattern, enclosing a tympanum with weathered carvings of beasts.

The font dates from the 18th century and consists of a circular bowl on a polygonal shaft; it has a wooden cover.

[6] The two-manual organ was built in 1899 by W. Hill and Son of London, and rebuilt and enlarged by the same firm in 1910.

It is a table tomb in white marble; two angels holding the crown of life lean over the effigies.

[2] In the south transept there is a tomb chest with the effigies of Sir John Curzon and his wife, dating from 1456.

Sir John is dressed in armour, at the feet of the effigies are dogs, and on the sides of the tomb are the figures of their 17 children.

Also in the transept is a plain slab decorated with a cross and foliage to the memory of Thomas de Curzon, who died in 1245.

One is designed by Peter Scheemakers to the memory of Sir Nathaniel Curzon, 2nd Baronet, who died in 1719, and his wife Sarah.

A further memorial is to Sir Nathaniel Curzon, 4th Baronet and his family dated 1758, made by Michael Rysbrack to a design by Robert Adam.
