Remains of Heath Old Church
Image: © Jonathan Clitheroe Taken: 16 Aug 2014
This is actually the only surviving building from the deserted village of Lound. It's situated on an elevated site close to Junction 29 of the M1 and therefore not easily reached on foot. There's a detailed history of the site to be found here http://www.derbyshireheritage.co.uk/Menu/Buildings/Churches/heath-old-church.php - note also the headstone on the left which has been enveloped by a tree.
