St. Edmunds Church

Exterior view of St. Edmund's Church in Castleton.

This is from a blog on WordPress by ShortFinal:

"The church of St Edmund, Castleton, in the Diocese of Derby, was once called ‘the church of Peak Castle’.
That was back in 1269, when Prince Edward (later Edward I) gave it to the Abbey of Vale Royal, in Cheshire.
The current church is a mix of styles, but there is an impressive tower at the west end,
with what are described as ‘crocketed pinnacles’ on the battlements."

And from the Castleton web site, we learn: "The church dates back to the 12th century at least.
It is not mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086, but the building as it stands today
must have been started soon afterwards, either by William Peveril or his son."
