All Saints

The RC Church of All Saints is located in Hassop, a small village located two miles from Bakewell.

The building was built in 1816/1818 and designed in the Classical Revival Style. Originally a private chapel for the Eyre family of Hassop Hall, it is Grade 1 Listed: in fact, it is the only such church in the whole of the Diocese.

The church has an impressive Etruscan pillared portico, Grecian side windows, and Tuscan pilasters at the rear. However, the severe simplicity of the exterior belies the ornate decoration within. The coved and coffered ceiling resembles a barrel. The beautifully ornate altar is believed to be of French origin. In the gallery, the chamber organ by H. C. Lincoln dates from the 1820's.

Take the A619 road (to Baslow) that leaves Bakewell over the bridge. After passing Newholme Hospital on your right you will shortly come to a junction on your left. Take this road, the B6001 to Hathersage. Go straight on at the roundabout, and you should reach the village of Hassop after a mile. You will approach the south façade of All Saints as the road bends to the right. Click here for a map.

Our parish also worships at English Martyrs RC Church, Bakewell.
