Local activities in and around Wirksworth, Heart of England
The small market town of Wirksworth will reveal itself as a surprisingly fascinating town for those who take the time to explore the narrow streets and maze of interesting alleyways, to admire the old buildings and lovely views, to visit the ancient church and the cathedral–like close. Standing as it does virtually at the centre of Derbyshire, about two miles to the south of the Peak District National Park boundary, Wirksworth was the centre of the English lead mining when the industry was at its height.
Lead was the basis of Wirksworth’s past prosperity and lead mining in the area goes back to at least Roman times. The Barmote Court was set up in 1288 to enforce lead mining laws, which it was said even at that time were of great antiquity. It is almost certainly the oldest industrial court in Britain, and possibly in the world; it still sits twice a year at Moot Hall in Chapel Lane. In June 1983, Wirksworth was presented with the prestigious Europa Nostra Award for architectural conservation. This was the only award made to a United Kingdom project at that time. It was given for its ‘exemplary regeneration of a small county town, through a broad programme of self-help and innovative features’. Praise came from many other quarters and HRH Prince Charles referred to the project as ‘brilliantly imaginative’.
For those wanting to know more about Wirksworth a visit to the highly acclaimed Heritage Centre is essential. Situated just off the market place in Crown Yard, where Crown Yard Kitchen offers snacks and delicious home cooked meals. The Heritage Centre is housed in what once was a Silk and Velvet Mill where the ’Wirksworth Story’ is explained on three floors. This takes you on a fascinating journey through time from pre-historic days, when the bones of a Woolly Rhino were found, through the lead mining era to the present day. Excellent views over the town are obtained from the windows.
