More about this scene

Dragwell, adjacent to A R Tarlton's chemist's shop (left), runs between Derby Road and Nottingham Road on the north side of the church, which stands prominently above the River Soar. It is said that the building, an almost perfect example of mid 14th-century work, was financed by Judge Sir Henry Greene, lord of the manor. The church is built of a grey sandstone; the scraping of the interior has left it somewhat dull, but relieved by the royal arms dated 1684 above the chancel arch. The church was restored in 1861 by Sheffield architect Joseph Mitchell.
