The Grade II* Listed St Mary and St Laurence's Church located in the market town of Bolsover, Derbyshire.
The church is mediaeval, dating from the 13th and 14th centuries, with the Cavendish chapel of 1624, a rebuilding after a fire in 1897 by Louis Ambler and a further restoration after a fire in 1961–62.
The church was closed for restoration from early in 1877 which took place under the supervision of John Brightmore Mitchell-Withers, architect of Sheffield. The chancel arch was rebuilt, adding an organ and chapel. The chancel was completely renovated. The floor was laid with tiles and the seating was renewed. The roofs were repaired and covered by red Staffordshire tiling. The work was carried out by Shillitoe and Morgan of Campstall, Doncaster.
New heating apparatus by Stuart and Smith of Sheffield was installed, with gas lighting by Hydes and Wigfull of Sheffield. The bells were recast by Taylor of Loughborough, a clock provided by Smith of Derby, and the organ enlarged by Foster and Andrews of Hull. The total cost of the restoration was around £6,000 (equivalent to £4,749,900 in 2021).
The church was destroyed by fire in January 1897 but fortunately, the Cavendish chapel of 1624 was saved. The church was rebuilt by the architect Louis Ambler starting 1897 and was consecrated by the Bishop of Southwell in 1898.
