St Philip's Church, Chaddesden
=== St Philip's Church is part of the United Benefice of Chaddesden, St Philip with Derby, St Mark. Chaddesden is situated two and a half miles to the east of Derby in the county of Derbyshire.

St Philip's Church is a progressive and affirming Anglo-Catholic church in the Diocese of Derby. It has a rich musical and liturgical tradition. The worship endeavours to provide people with strength and engages all of our senses in sacramental celebration of the mystery of God.

The Duke of Devonshire laid the foundation stone and the building was completed in 1955. The church was consecrated by the Assistant Bishop of Derby, the Rt Revd George Sinker, on the 17th of December 1955. Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied by Prince Philip, visited Chaddesden on the 28th of March 1957 to open the newly built St. Philips Church.

Since 1955 the Church has been at the centre of community life, providing a focal point at key moments throughout the lives of those who live and work in this busy urban environment. ===
