St Michael and all Angels' Church, Alsop en le Dale is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England in Alsop en le Dale, Derbyshire.
History
The church dates from the 12th century and was rebuilt between 1882 and 1883 by Frederick Josias Robinson at a cost of £840.Notice within the church. The flat roof was removed and replaced with a pitched roof, and the plaster on the walls was removed. The floors were re-laid, that in the chancel with Minton encaustic tiles, and the rest with wooden blocks. A new stone font replaced the old one. The pulpit, which had formerly been in St Oswald's Church, Ashbourne, was installed. The contractor was J. Knowles of Brassington.
The church has a Norman south doorway with zig-zag carvings, and the imposts of the chancel arch are also Norman, as is a window in the south wall. The Normanesque tower, however, dates from the 19th-century restoration.
