Nave and Chancel in Annesley Old Church Grade I listed building located next to Annesley Hall, ancestral home of the Chaworth-Muster family of whom, several are buried in the nearby graveyard. Of interest here are the remains of the Lady Chapel Window in the foreground and to the right of that, built into the wall is a Triple Sedilia or Priest Chair. In front of the window is the grave of William Chaworth who was killed in a duel with his cousin and neighbour, Lord Byron of Newstead Abbey (great-uncle of the poet). The church fell into disuse after the new church in Annesley was built in 1874 to accommodate the expanding mining community.

Family Headstone and Disused Stable Block at Annersley Old Church Memorial stone in old Annesley churchyard to John and Lina Chaworth Musters, George Chaworth Musters, Mary Anne Packe, Henry Charlton Chaworth-Musters, and the three Chaworth-Musters sons killed in the First World War, A friendly lady was sitting nearby amongst the headstones awaiting a friend while perusing a binder full of documents relating to the old estate. A classic example of British eccentricity I felt.
