St Alkmund's Church

About

Saint Alkmund's Church was a Victorian church, which stood in a Georgian square between Bridgegate and Queen Street in Derby; this was the only Georgian square in the city. The church and its yard were demolished in 1968 for construction of a road to improve traffic flow. Churches dedicated to Saint Alkmund had been constructed on this site since the 9th century.

Artefacts recovered from this site include a stone sarcophagus and remains of a 4-metre (13 ft) tall stone cross, both now held at the Derby Museum and Art Gallery. The building was replaced with a modern church on Kedleston Road, St Alkmund’s (new) Church, Derby.
