Anchor Church, Cave church in Ingleby, GB
Anchor Church consists of four distinct cells carved into a perpendicular bank of conglomerate rock with bands of sandstone near Repton.
The earliest written record of Anchor Church appears in the 1658 Repton Church Register, documenting the presence of an individual seeking shelter.
The rock-cut chambers showcase architectural elements potentially dating to the Saxon period, with connections to religious figures like St. Hardulph.
The site requires special permissions for any modifications due to its Grade II listed status, which protects its architectural and historical features.
Sir Robert Burdett transformed sections of the cave cells into dining spaces for entertaining guests, as depicted in a 1745 painting.
