SALKELD, GREAT. 

Parish armour, pott, breastplate, backplate, gorget of XVIIth century of pikeman type. A basket-hilted sword of the XVIIth century (Fig. 1605).

The tower of the church was built as a place of defence for refuge for the inhabitants of the county in the forest of Inglewood, probably by Ralph, 6th Baron Nevill of Raby, Earl Marshal of England, b. 1364, d. 1425. It is a fortified church, and is one of three—the other two being Burgh-by-Sands and Newton-Arlosh. The tower can only be entered through the church, the entrance being 2 ft. 7 in. wide. The tower has five floors. On the first floor is a fire-place formed of tombstones.

Bassano, an heraldic painter of Derby, who visited this church in 1705 records in his notes that "within the altar rails, south above Pipe's tomb, hangs a helmet with Pipe's crest upon it." This has long disappeared.
