DESCRIPTION

The village of Swanwick lies on the Ripley to Alfreton road, about 1 mile S.W. of Alfreton. The church of St. Andrew was consecrated in 1859 and was built on a piece of land given by the Rev. John Wood of Swanwick Hall. Francis Wright of Osmaston Manor, near Ashbourne, who was the employer at Butterley Ironworks of so many people, gave more than £500 of the £1,710 needed to build the church, and became its first patron. The foundation stone was laid by Mrs. Morewood of Alfreton Hall on St. Andrew's Day 1858. The parish was created out of the old parish of Pentrich.
