The Wirksworth Stone depicting the life of Christ in 8 panels.  It is located on the northern wall of the western part of the nave, to the right of the lead lined font which dates from the 13th century.  The Wirksworth Stone is particularly finely carved, having been found 2 feet below the surface of the pavement in front of the altar, with the carving face-down.
