St Andrew's Church is the parish church of Langley Mill in Derbyshire, England. It was built in 1911 by J S Brocklesby and was dedicated to Saint Andrew in 1912 by the Bishop of Southwell. In 1926, the church became part of the Diocese of Derby. The church is an active place of worship and community hub. It was designated a Grade II listed building in 1988 by Historic England.[2]
The church was originally built between 1911 and 1913. The original place of worship was in a small room above a builder's workshop on Elnor Street. It soon proved too small and builder J S Brocklesby was asked to build a new church for the congregation. At a cost of £8,000 (£780,056.08 in 2024 with inflation).[3] The church was built in an unusual Arts and Crafts style which was quite unusual for a church at the time as they were often built in Gothic Revival and Victorian Style. The church was finally built in 1913, a year prior it was consecrated by the Bishop of Southwell. In 1926, it became part of the Diocese of Derby. It became a joint Methodist and Anglican church in 1987. A year later, it was listed as Grade II by Historic England. The listing entry quotes the following:
Today, it remains an active place of worship[4] [5] and lies close to Derbyshire's border with Nottinghamshire. The Erewash Valley Line passes by the church and serves the nearby railway station at Langley Mill.
