Full Description
St Mary's Church, Hall Drive, Sutton cum Duckmanton, originally a 14th century building.
'St Mary's Church, Sutton Scarsdale. Perpendicular west tower with diagonal buttresses. Some 14th century windows, 14th century south porch and 14th century north arcade to aisle and chancel aisle. The two-light south window is 19th century.' (1)
'There does not appear to be any trace of a date earlier than the Decorated period, in the first half of the 14th century, in St. Mary's Church. The church was repaired in 1807. Sutton Hall, c1740, was built so close to the church that the north side of the tower and the west end of the north aisle are used as supports for some of the outbuildings, and the tower has been utilized to form one side of a red-brick chimney to these outhouses.' (2)
'The church is in use for public worship.' (3)
'No change.' (4)
'St Mary' Church is a Grade II* listed building of the early 14th, 15th and 17th centuries. It is constructed of coursed sandstone with sandstone dressings and has slate and lead roofs. It comprises a west tower, a nave with north aisle and south porch, and a chancel with north aisle.' (5)
'A bell and a bell frame in St Mary's are of historical significance. The frame dates from c1510 and was made by RI Heathcote of Chesterfield, whereas the bell is older (c1450) and was made by RC Nottingham (unclear if that is RC Nottingham or RC of Nottingham).' (7)
