Description
The Church of St Matthew was built between 1818 and 1819 and extended from 1895 to 1896. It was designed by architect Moses Wood of Nottingham and is constructed from stone with a slate roof. This Gothic style church features an aisleless nave and a west tower with pinnacles. The chancel, sanctuary, sacristy, and vestry were added during the 1895-96 extension, also funded by Walter Evans. The churchyard contains slate plaques that commemorate the lives of Evans employees and local villagers.
Nearby, the 18th and 19th century houses and schoolrooms in Darley Abbey, built by various generations of the Evans family for their workers, are noteworthy as a group and can be compared to the Arkwright settlement at Cromford and the Strutt settlements at Belper and Milford.
