DESCRIPTION

The village of Allestree lies two miles north of Derby. It is recorded in the Domesday Book as a hamlet attached to the manor of Markeaton. By 1529 John Mundy had acquired the manor of Markeaton which still included Allestree and the estate remained in the hands of the Mundy family until the 1780's. Later, William Evans purchased the estate and moved into Allestree Hall that had been built in 1802 for one of the successors of the Mundys.

A church which had been a chapel of ease for Markeaton and had stood here since Norman times was almost totally rebuilt in 1865 by Sir Thomas William Evans, son of William who bought the estate. Little more than the Norman south doorway and the thirteenth century tower of the earlier building remains.
