St Edmund's Church, Fenny Bentley

St Edmund's Church, Fenny Bentley is a Grade II* listed parish church in the Church of England in Fenny Bentley, Derbyshire.

History

The church dates from around 1300. It was restored between 1847 and 1850 by Henry Isaac Stevens and Frederick Josias Robinson. The west tower was rebuilt in 1864. New stained glass windows were installed in 1892 by Edward Reginald Frampton. It contains a 16th-century stone screen and the Elizabethan tombs of Thomas Beresford (died 1473) and his wife, upon which the effigies are shown bundled up in shrouds, possibly because the sculptor had no likeness to work from.
