Our quinquennial inspection has identified a number of repairs which need doing, and in particular making the roof safe and watertight. Scaffolding has been erected on the north side rear of the church for the commencement of this work - we ask you to exercise caution when in the vicinity of the fencing and report any concerns you may have. All the work will be carried out externally with no access to the interior required.Scaffolding to the south side/front of the church will be erected at the beginning of July, and it is hoped that this will be removed by the beginning of August, as we are trying to ensure that our wedding couples do not have views of the scaffolding as a background to their photos!This may limit access to the interment plots on the lawned area between the main church door and the vestry door, and should you need to access this area, please contact either Paul or one of the wardens.We have managed to secure a considerable amount of grant funding, and are indebted to the National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Churches Trust for their generosity.Without them, we would be facing a huge financial outlay, so please spread the word!
Welcome to the Peak PilgrimagesThe team from Eyam Church arranged the Peak Pilgrimage route through the White Peak from Ilam to Eyam in 2015. Then in 2020 the same team set up the Hope Pilgrimage route through the Hope Valley and the Dark Peak from Edale to Eyam. The Hope Pilgrimage is slightly shorter and much hillier than its older sister but they both operate on the same principles – a marvellous walk through the best bits of Derbyshire meandering from church to church and pub to café, reflecting on life and glorying in creation, while collecting stamps and sticky back Bible verses from the churches. Each pilgrimage has its own Guidebook, available to purchase on this website. Pick either one or, indeed, do the two together by starting with the Peak Pilgrimage and continuing through Eyam to Edale. What will you choose?
