Description: This view shows the nave looking east. Originally a chapel at Lenton Priory, which was in reality a hospital dedicated to St. Anthony and set aside for the use of people afflicted with 'St. Anthony's Fire,' a disease which we know as erysipelas. On the destruction of the monastery after the Dissolution in 1537, a new parish church for the village of Lenton was built upon the site of the Chapel of St. Anthony, and the chancel of the present Abbey Church is part of this Tudor building. This church served the needs of the parish until the consecration of Holy Trinity Church in 1842, when it was abandoned and eventually the nave was pulled down, but the chancel and vestry were preserved to act as a mortuary chapel. In 1883, however, the nave was rebuilt, and this little church once more came into use.
