A building of 1928, adopting a traditional form, loosely Italianate with some Gothic detail. The church is a small building of red brick with a replacement concrete tile roof. There is a (liturgical) west tower with an oversailing pyramidal roof and finial. A white-painted southwest porch with Gothic columns supports a gabled canopy on top of which is a statue of St Joseph beneath a curved canopy.

All Saints Church was built to provide for the spiritual and social needs of the people of Ripley during the Industrial Revolution, and was dedicated in July 1821. At the time it was a ‘Chapel of Ease’ in the parish of Pentrich, with St Matthew’s Pentrich as the main parish church. Some families in Ripley still maintain a connection with St Matthews as their church. Ripley was created a separate parish in 1855, and the tower with clock and 5 bells was built in 1861.

This green flag award winning park a little oasis in the centre of Ripley. Crossley Park has been open to the public for over a hundred years. The park is a hive of activity in the mornings with people walking their dogs and chatting to each other. The play area is always in use with children of all ages enjoying the play equipment, and during the summer months the new interactive water play facility is full to bursting with local children and grown-ups alike running through the spraying water. There is an abundance of beautiful mature trees and an excellent display of horse chestnut trees which surround the bandstand. The borders contain a selection of shrubs and herbaceous plants providing a natural habitat for wildlife.

St. Andrew's Church. In 1856 the Revd John Wood gave land for a church to be built in Swanwick. With the aid of a donation of £3,230 from Francis Wright the building was completed in 1859 with a nave of five bays, north and south aisles, north porch and bell turret over the west gable. The pointed arches on both sides of the nave and in the chancel imply that the architect, Benjamin Wilson, had Early English architecture in mind when he designed the building. The Church celebrated its 150th Anniversary on Sunday 26 September 2010. The Bishop of Derby, the Rt Revd Dr. Alastair Redfern, presided at a celebratory service.
