I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Derby Cathedral, is a cathedral church in the city of Derby, England. In 1927, it was promoted from parish church status to that of a cathedral, creating a seat for the Bishop of Derby, which new Episcopal see was created in that year. The original church of All Saints was founded in the mid-10th century as a royal collegiate church, dedicated to All Saints. The main body of the church as it stands today is a Georgian rebuilding by James Gibbs, completed in 1725. The tower dates from the 16th century, and a retroquire was added in the 20th century.*

TOAL is just behind the Church and gives full VLOS. It’s in a city so parking is going to cost, but there was always a few spaces to be had behind the cathedral. In the Park behind there are some handy marble seats that still provide a great line of sight.
