Betjeman’s Best British Churches: Dale Abbey

All Saints, Dale Abbey, Derbyshire

An amazing semi-d church: tiny and attached to a farmhouse. It was clearly too small for purpose in the 17th/18th century, when box pews were added in any available space and galleries squeezed into the loft – only accessed via a separate entrance up an exterior staircase. It’s an absolute jumble of carpentry throughout. The farmhouse next door has served as a hospital at one time, and later became the Blue Bell Inn.
