St Giles’ Church, Sandiacre is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Sandiacre, Derbyshire.[1]
The church dates from the 11th century. The chancel was added around 1342. The church was restored in 1855[2] and 1866. Further work was carried out in 1883, when new pews and a new organ were installed, new bells provided, and gas chandeliers added. The floor was laid with Minton encaustic tiles and the walls were stripped of plaster.[3]
The pipe organ was built by Nigel Church in 1977, in consultation with David Butterworth. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
