Derby Cathedral
Derby Cathedral is a beautiful emblematic building drenched in history and is Derby’s most visitor attraction.
The Cathedral contains the oldest ring of ten bells in the United Kingdom, with the 15th century tenor being older than the tower itself. Other treasures include an 18th century nave with a wrought iron rood screen by Robert Bakewell, the memorial to Bess of Hardwick and the Cavendish brasses, including those of Henry Cavendish and Georgiana Spencer, the wife of one of the Dukes of Devonshire.
Peregrine falcons have taken up residence on the cathedral tower, regularly nesting there. Webcams enable the birds to be seen at close-range without being disturbed by human contact.
