St Helen's Grindleford
Originally in the parish of Eyam, Grindleford joined Hathersage and Bamford in 2008 to form a new benefice. The church of St Helen's was consecrated in 1910. It was an ambitious Gothic revival project which thankfully was substantially modified to become a more modest building with a particularly well-lit practical nave. The church is open daily. The fabric is in good order and the organ was replaced in 2017. Facilities include good disabled/wheelchair access and an accessible toilet. An area of the churchyard has been set aside as a wildflower meadow and a strip of woodland is to be re-wilded.

A Sunday morning service is held each week usually at 9.30 am, alternating Holy Communion and Morning Prayer. The fifth Sunday being the joint Benefice service. Readings and prayers are lay-led.

As an almost unique feature, Grindleford community shop is housed in what was the choir vestry. Run by volunteers, it serves both the local community and visitors to the village, especially walkers and cyclists. It is open seven days a week, closing on Sunday morning and when the church is being used for a funeral or wedding.
The presence of the shop has served to place the church building at the centre of the village community and fostered much good will.
