St Michael and All Angels Church, Brimington is in Brimington, Chesterfield, Churches in Derbyshire.
St Michael and All Angels Church, Brimington [Map] was built in 1847 by Joseph Mitchell, architect of Sheffield. In 1891 the chancel was refurbished by the partnership of John Naylor and George Sale, architects of Derby. During the medieval period the site was a chapel of ease with the parish church being Chesterfield. In 1796, the old church of St Michael and All Angels was demolished and replaced at the expense of Joseph Jebb with a new building, of which only the tower survives. The churchyard and rectory are immediately adjacent to the church.

Chronicle of Abbot Ralph of Coggeshall
The Chronicle of Abbot Ralph of Coggeshall (Chronicon Anglicanum) is an indispensable medieval history that brings to life centuries of English and European affairs through the eyes of a learned Cistercian monk. Ralph of Coggeshall, abbot of the Abbey of Coggeshall in Essex in the early 13th century, continued and expanded his community’s chronicle, documenting events from the Norman Conquest of 1066 into the tumultuous reign of King Henry III. Blending eyewitness testimony, careful compilation, and the monastic commitment to record-keeping, this chronicle offers a rare narrative of political intrigue, royal power struggles, and social upheaval in England and beyond. Ralph’s work captures the reigns of pivotal figures such as Richard I and King John, providing invaluable insights into their characters, decisions, and the forces that shaped medieval rule. More than a simple annal, Chronicon Anglicanum conveys the texture of medieval life and governance, making it a rich source for scholars and readers fascinated by English history, monastic authorship, and the shaping of the medieval world.
