Ashover Church was built between 1350 and 1419 by Thomas Babington, the great-grandfather of the Anthony Babington, executed at Smithfield for the plot, on behalf of Mary, Queen of Scots, to murder Elizabeth I. The north aisle is earlier, mid-14th Century, and the south porch dates from 1275.

Grade I listed church.

The font is one of the few Norman lead fonts in England and dates from about 1150. The Romans had worked the lead mines of the Ashover valley, through which the Amber stream runs. The font is ornamented with twenty figures, mounted in pairs. It was buried, for safety, during the Civil War and the Commonwealth (1641- 1660), and restored to its present position after the Restoration.
