Founded in the mid-10th century, the church was rebuilt in 1725 except for the tower which dates from the 16th century. It became a Cathedral in 1927 when the Diocese of Derby was created.
The retro-choir was designed in the 1930s but was not added until the 1970s.
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
