History of All Saints’ Church
Before this church was built, people living in Calver and Curbar had to travel about 2 miles to Baslow for church services. Sometimes, services were held closer, in a room above a cotton mill in Calver. By 1867, people had collected enough money to build a new church.
The first stone for the church was placed by William Cavendish, 7th Duke of Devonshire in April 1867. The land for the church was a gift from Charles Manners, 6th Duke of Rutland. A famous architect named Anthony Salvin designed the church, and Mr. Ashwell from London built it. The church was officially opened and blessed by the Bishop of Lichfield, George Selwyn, on June 2, 1868.
