KIRK HALLAM, on the Nutbrook canal, is a township and parish,
1½ miles south-west from Ilkeston railway station, 8 west from
Nottingham and 8 east-north-east from Derby, in the Ilkeston division
of the county, hundred of Morleston and Litchurch, Smalley petty sessional
division, Shardlow union, Belper and Ilkeston
County court district, rural deanery of Ilkeston, archdeanery of Derby
and diocese of Southwell. The church of All Saints is a small edifice
of stone consisting of chancel, nave, south porch and a low embattled
tower at the west end containing 3 bells, two with inscriptions in
Lombardic capitals and one dated 1666 : the only relics of the original
church seem to consist of some
fragments of Norman beak-headed moulding built into the south entrance,
and the font, a good example of the same style, on an Early English
base, its outer surface being ornamented with interlaced semicircular
arches : the east window of the chancel is Decorated, the tracery
new, but the framework old: two square-headed windows in the chancel
are Perpendicular, as is also the tower: the chancel has three sedilia
niches, now too near the floor to be of any service, and beyond these
a piscina flanked on either side by a small niche: in the chancel
are monuments to Francis Newdigate, of Nottingham (1764), and to Francis
Stead, of the same place (1763) ; and in the nave is a brass with
inscription to Francis Rice (1766) : the church was repaired in 1844
and the porch rebuilt: in the chancel are two memorial windows, one
to Francis Newdigate, dated 1862, and the other to Mrs. Charlotte
Newdigate : there are 90 sittings. The register dates from the year
1660. The living is a discharged vicarage, average tithe rent-charge
