St Mary's Church, Crich is a Grade I listed[1] parish church in the Church of England in Crich, Derbyshire.[2]
The church dates from 1135 and has additions in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries, with a vestry added in the 20th century.
The church was hit by lightning on 5 February 1945, which caused a fire to start. It was extinguished by local volunteers armed with stirrup pumps.[3]
The church is in a joint parish with All Saints' Church, South Wingfield.
The church had a pipe organ by William Hill and Son dating from 1913. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. In 2012 it was up for sale.
