St Mary & All Saints Church (1907), Chesterfield

This delightful pen and ink drawing was by Walter W. NEEDHAM, and dated 1907. The drawing was in the possession of Issac & Elizabeth McGANN and their daughter Lucy, when they emigrated from Nottingham to Southern Alberta, Canada in 1912. Walter was a friend of the family, and Lucy was Allan Petrie (the submitter's) mother.

A more recent photograph of St Mary & All Saints Church from a similar viewpoint shows how the gravestones in the foreground have been removed.

For those who like a taste of Then and Now, see also this sketch overlaid with the recent photograph.
