St. Werburgh's Church has been redundant as a place of worship for many years, and has been put to various commercial uses. Inside is a First World War Memorial on which the name of Lieut. Horace Jocelyn Graves is commemorated. Lieutenant Graves is also remembered on the Derby Grammar School War Memorial.
