Church of St Michael and St Mary, Grade I listed church building in Melbourne, Derbyshire
The church features three distinct towers, rounded arches from the original triple apse design, and intricate stone carvings throughout its structure.
Founded in January 1133, the church underwent extensive restoration work by Sir George Gilbert Scott between 1859 and 1862, including new flooring and stonework repairs.
The medieval carvings in the crossing arches display various figures, including The Melbourne Cat and symbols representing different aspects of medieval life.
The church maintains regular religious services and remains connected to other local parishes, including St James' Church in Smisby and St Michael's Church in Stanton.
The interior contains a 13th-century wall painting depicting a demon positioned above two arguing women, surviving numerous restoration projects through centuries.
