Welcome to All Saint Church Marlpool

Serving the community of Marlpool for almost 120 years

A potted history

All Saints church was build on the current site in 1907 and remained pretty well unchanged until 1949 unchanged until 1947 when all but the tower was burnt to the ground due to an electrical fault.  The church was rebuilt  in 1950 in what was for the time quite a revolutionary style. In 1995  the building was again set on fire—this time by vandals. Although there was a lot of smoke damage and some destruction, the main structure and, somewhat remarkably, the organ, were largely undamaged. In 2001? It was decided that the building needed updating, and so an extensive reordering was embarked on. This included the installation of a 1st floor mezzanine hall and the making of all parts of the building fully accessible.

Where are we?

Marlpool is a suburb of the town of Heanor which is equidistant between Nottingham and Derby and close to the boundary between the two counties.

The community of Marlpool is distributed either side of the A6007 with ‘Old Marlpool’ to the left leaving Heanor and ‘New Marlpool’ (not actually that new) to the right. This part was originally built as a council house estate but is now very much a mixture of privately owned and rented properties.

All Saints is between the two situated on the main road between Heanor and Ilkeston. As well as Marlpool itself the parish of All Saints also includes Shipley, originally a small village but now including a ribbon development along the main road.
