Totley Moor
An open moorland hill to the west of the Sheffield suburb of Totley,
I’m standing on the B6054, looking North.
The structure on the horizon (left) is a ventilation shaft for the Totley Railway Tunnel, which runs for 3.5 miles under this moor.

With these vast moorlands, it’s challenging to identify precisely where you are and what you are looking at.
The moor is within Sheffield City’s boundary in South Yorkshire, but I've identified the location as Derbyshire because it is within the Peak District National Park, which is more associated with Derbyshire than South Yorkshire.

Window in the north aisle by Nora Yoxall & Elsie Whitford, 1934.
church sits veiled by trees in its pretty churchyard set back in a quiet corner away from the street. Its tower signals from afar but is surprisingly largely concealed from view by foliage as one approaches, as is much of the rest of this fine largely 14th - 15th century building.
The church is built mainly from grey local stone and beyond the west tower consists of an aisled nave, chancel and north transept. the interior is surprisingly light owing to the rendered walls and flat 18th century nave ceiling. There are ample windows, a double row of them on the north side, and most filled with stained glass by a variety of Victorian and later designers.
The north transept chapel contains three very badly mutilated medieval effigies, a fragmentary knight on the windowsill is still vaguely recognisable but the others have lost all detail (one hidden from view behind an altar). There are better but much later memorials in the form of Baroque tablets to the Luttrell family on the south side.
This church is normally locked without a keyholder outside service times and only open for a short time on the 2nd Saturday morning of each month when it is cleaned and the churchyard tidied.
