The church dates from the 13th century, and was completed in 1474 with funding from Walter Blount, 1st Baron Mountjoy. The chancel was restored and lengthened by 11 feet (3.4 m) in 1904 by George Frederick Bodley. Some of the tombs and memorials were moved to give a better view of the altar. The new chancel has no window at the east end, but a large reredos of carved white clunch filled the whole end, which was richly carved with subjects and figures, and effectively lit by two new traceried windows of three lights each in the north and south walls of the sanctuary. The pavements of the sanctuary and chancel were laid with black and white marble. The floor of the nave was laid with wooden blocks, and the aisles with slate and white stone. The plaster was removed from the walls. The roofs and various parts of the walls were decorated with gold and blue, with monograms of "B" for St Bartholomew.

A Gothic Revival castle in Elvaston, Derbyshire, is now part of Elvaston Castle Country Park, owned and managed by Derbyshire County Council, encompassing 321 acres of parkland, woodlands, and historical gardens. The castle, designed by James Wyatt in the early 1800s, replaced an older house dating back to 1633.

Robin Hood was basically a thief

There's no entry to the castle, but you can look through some of the windows. It's in a run-down state, would cost a fortune to restore but nevertheless quite magnificent inside. Reminded me of buildings in Venice with the gilded ornate art decorated ceilings and golden pillars.

Updated 2024, access to the castle is now severely limited due to the new land owner, can only be viewed from a fenced path across the field. The Codnor castle heritage trust is no longer involved with on site activities.
