66 OLD GRAVESTONES DISCOVERED AT S. PETER'S, DERBY. 



It is much to be regretted that this venerable and beautiful 

 church, the only very ancient ecclesiastical fabric in the town, 

 should be allowed to remain so long in its half-dilapidated 

 condition : its crumbling walls, decayed roofs, and tottering 

 tower, reared by the affection and devotion of those who 

 contributed to the corporate growth and well-being of the town, 

 ought not to be allowed to reflect as they do so sadly the apathy 

 and the worldliness of this more prosperous age.
