St Oswald's Church, Ashbourne, Medieval parish church in Ashbourne, England.
The church structure features a 212-foot spire, extensive stone carvings, and multiple chapels dedicated to prominent local families of Derbyshire.
Construction of the present building began in 1240 and continued until the early 14th century, replacing an earlier Saxon church mentioned in the Domesday Book.
The north transept houses the Boothby monument, carved from Italian Carrara marble, commemorating Penelope Boothby who passed away at age five in 1791.
The church maintains regular opening hours from 10 AM to 5 PM daily, offering spaces for worship, weddings, baptisms, and community gatherings.
The chancel and nave were built at different angles, creating a noticeable bend in the church's layout that generates discussions about medieval construction methods.
