I was always sceptical about the name change too, but until I am convinced otherwise I will stick with the church once being St. Michael's.

The two main references I have to the name St. Michael are:

- "Notes on the Churches of Derbyshire" by J. Charles Cox (1879), in which the author states that he has seen the name St Lawrence in a recent directory, but believes it to be a mistake. Cox makes reference to to Pegge's MSS and Bacon's "Liber Regis" to support the name St. Michaels, though I have never seen either of these items.

- More importantly, the 1887 1" Ordnance Survey Map.

What is the earliest reference that you have to the name St. Lawrence?

If you can come up with a definitive answer, I would be very grateful (and will almost certainly run an article in our newsletter on the topic!).
