| OSMASTON (near Derby) is a parish 1½
miles south-east from Derby railway station, in the Southern division
of the county, hundred of Repton and Gresley, Derby county court
district and petty sessional division, Shardlow
union,
rural deanery and archdeaconry of Derby and diocese of Southwell.
The church of All Saints is an ancient edifice of stone, consisting
of chancel, nave, vestry, south porch and an eastern turret containing
one bell, and is the successor of a church or chantry of Norman
origin existing here in 1127 ; it is chiefly Early English in
style, but some portions of the Norman church still remain: the
east window, of Late Perpendicular date, with a trefoil light
above it, one window on the north and one on the south side of
the chancel and two on the north side of the nave, are stained:
in the chancel is a carved tablet of alabaster, inscribed in Latin
to Sir Nicholas Wilmot kt. ob.
1682, besides several others of later date to the same family ; there
is also a mural monument of marble to the Eastwood family, with
dates from 1846 to 1874: the pulpit is of stone, finely carved :
the church plate includes an Elizabethan chalice, a paten of Queen
Anne's time and a pewter flagon of 1629: the church was restored
in 1880, and has 120 sittings. The register dates from the year
1743. The living is a rectory, average tithe rent-charge £4,

£106, including 62 acres of glebe and residence, in the gift
of Sir Robert Rodney Wilmot bart. D.L. and held since 1862 by the

Hall, formerly the residence of the late Rev. Sir George Lewis Wilmot-Horton
bart. (d. 1887), is a mansion of brick and stone standing
in a park of 250 acres, containing a small lake, and was erected
in 1696 ; the fine collection of paintings and other works of art
have been removed and the house and grounds, which are well wooded
