Church of King Charles the Martyr

The Church of King Charles the Martyr is a church built between 1876 and 1877 by H. Cockbain for the 7th Duke of Devonshire's Peak Forest estate, replacing a 17th-century chapel that previously occupied the site. It is constructed of coursed squared rubble limestone with gritstone dressings, featuring coped gables with moulded kneelers and a graduated slate roof. The church includes a west tower, nave, north and south aisles, and a chancel.

The tower consists of three stages, with stepped angle buttresses on the first stage, two-light chamfered mullioned openings on the second stage, and tall, two-light pointed arched openings with hoodmoulds and carved stops at the bell stage. Moulded string courses separate the tower stages, which culminate in an embattled parapet adorned with crocketed pinnacles. There is a doorway on the south wall of the tower with a pointed arch beneath a hoodmould.

The south aisle has five bays with stepped buttresses, three-light windows featuring pointed arches and panel tracery beneath hoodmoulds, a narrow doorway in the fourth bay with a shallow arched head beneath a stepped hoodmould, and a fifth bay with a two-light window. The north aisle has four bays, with aisle east windows of three lights and panel tracery beneath hoodmoulds, along with stepped buttresses at the corners and where it meets the nave. The nave and chancel share a single roofline and consist of seven bays total, highlighted by a tall five-light east window with decorative style tracery and a stepped string course connecting to the cills of the flanking aisle windows. The east window of the chancel features painted glass, while the west gable of the nave has a five-light window with panel tracery. The interior has not been inspected.
