Church of St. George at Ticknall, a Grade II Listed Building

"The ruins of the original church resisted the best efforts of Victorian contractors in the pay of Sir George Crewe armed with gunpowder in the 1840's to demolish it after the church we see today had been built. The old church was built in the style of architecture known as decorated gothic with elaborate pointed arches and in 1271 was put in the charge of the Priory (monastery) at Repton. The fragments that remain are of the tower at the west end and the three-light window at the opposite east end.
