Osmaston Church
St Martin's Parish Church was built in 1845 to replace an earlier building and was the first church in Derbyshire to be built in the medieval Gothic style.
It has been claimed that a stone in the previous church here was engraved with the date AD cccccc - showing that the church was founded in the 600s. Legend states that the previous church was made of wickerwork and this was demolished in 1843 to make way for the new building.
The church today remains closely tied to the village and the school, but also welcomes those from outside the parish to enjoy, use and get married in it.
