Church of St Giles, Anglican church in Matlock Town, England

The stone structure features a clerestory nave, north and south aisles, a chancel, and a west tower with diagonal buttresses and clock faces.

Sir Richard Arkwright, an Industrial Revolution innovator, was initially buried at St Giles before his remains moved to St Mary's Church in Cromford.

The church houses an 1873 Brindley & Foster pipe organ and eight bells cast by Mears and Stainbank in 1904 for musical performances.

Located on Church Street in central Matlock Town, the Grade II* listed building maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors throughout the year.

The church walls contain an 18th-century sundial incorporating medieval elements, surrounded by stone gates with rounded coping and ball finials.
