St John the Baptist Church, Chelmorton

Welcome to St John the Baptist Church in Chelmorton, Derbyshire.

St John the Baptist is the Church of England Parish Church for Chelmorton, within the Diocese of Derby.  

At 1200 feet above sea level, Chelmorton is the highest parish in the Derby Diocese and the highest church with a spire anywhere in England. It is built into the hillside at the top of the linear village of Chelmorton, with its historic listed field strip system, and this means that different parts of the church are built on different levels. 

You are always welcome to join us for worship at one of our services details of which can be found on our Services and Events page.
