The Church of St Edmund is an interesting little church close to the River Trent in Holme Pierrepont in Nottinghamshire. It is a Grade I listed building.[1]
The church is the parish church for Holm Pierrepoint, in the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham, but stands in the private estate of Holme Pierrepont Hall, with which it has a longstanding association with the hall and the Pierrepoint family who owned the estate and from whom the village takes the suffix of its name.
It is a mediæval church, but it was largely re-built in 1666 by Henry Pierrepont, 1st Marquess of Dorchester. In 1878 Thomas Chambers Hine added the chancel.[2] Further restorations were carried out in 1912 and 1960 and the spire was restored around 1980.[1]
It is now part of the combined parish of All Hallow's Church, Lady Bay.
