Annesley Old Church added to Historic Buildings in East Midlands by Buzbysmg on 05/01/2024

Park on slip road adjacent (sign posted Annesley Old Church) TOAL at same location.

Annesley Old Church or the Church of All Saints, Annesley Park, is a disused church in a ruinous condition which stands on a mound near to Annesley Hall, Nottinghamshire. The building remains are Grade I listed.

The church is built in stone and measures approximately 35 metres (115 ft) by 14.5 metres (48 ft). The standing remains include the roofless west tower, nave, chancel and a large 14th-century lady chapel to the south. The Lady Chapel, known as the "Felley Chantry” after the priory at Felley to whom the patronage once belonged, contained three fine sedilia and a piscina and a large east window with reticulated stone tracery. The surrounding graveyard contains a variety of mainly 17th- and 18th-century grave markers.

The present building, constructed by the Annesley family in 1356, replaced a previous Norman building on the same site. After the Annesley estate had passed by marriage to the Chaworths, Patrick Chaworth, 3rd Viscount Chaworth, in 1686 built the flight of steps leading up to the church and arranged for a carving of his coat of arms, or Achievement, to be fixed one of the tower walls in the church. As the village of Annesley developed into a mining community it was decided to build a new church on a site nearer to the growing colliery community. The new church, All Saints' Church, Annesley, was consecrated in 1874. Occasional services, especially Harvest Festivals, continued to be held in the old church until 1942. Following the cessation of use the building deteriorated and Viscount Chaworth's achievement was transferred to the new church. When the Annesley estate was sold in 1973 the buildings fell into a state of total disrepair and were sold by the Church Commissioners to Ashfield District Council for a nominal £1. In 2012 Ashfield District Council completed a programme of preservation and restoration to make the site safe and accessible to visitors.

The ruined building was Grade I listed in 1966 and scheduled as an Ancient Monument in 1977. It is also on the Heritage at Risk register.

Blackhills Waterfall - Eas a' Bhradain (By AlbionDrones)

A wet and blustery final day on Skye, afforded us a brief window in the weather to make a short flight at the changeable Blackhills Waterfall...

The falls are just off the main road - take care crossing the road if you wish to talk to them - and almost opposite a parking space - which gets busy!

Not huge, but good if it has been raining...

Two Barroes, Exmoor (By Howard)

Two Barrows is a site on the West Somerset / North Devon border that contains a number of Bronze Age burial mounds. Only one barrow is prominent today, though the official record assigns four barrows to the location. The site itself is part of a larger 'Principal Archaeological Landscape: Setta Barrow, Five Barrows and Two Barrows complex' (no 8 in the Exmoor list of these PALs).

Sinfin Moor Park, Derby (By D0c.Col)

The Park has a wide open space with plenty of parking. The whole area consists of 34 hectares including a playing field with 6 football pitches and 2 cricket pitches, a BMX track and a play area with a range of equipment for children of all ages. The nature conservation area has more than a hundred species of wildflowers and its ponds, meadows, woodland and hedgerows provide habitats for a variety of birds, invertebrates, amphibians and mammals. All these are well away from the park playing area so should not have any issues flying there.

The Friends of the Park volunteers run a community café at the Pavilion, as well as other activities for the community and to help wildlife.

@JockyB organised an East Midlands Meetup there in 2024 and eberyone had a great time.
