Wirksworth is a market town in Derbyshire, England, with a population of over 5,000.
Wirksworth is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. Within it is the source of the River Ecclesbourne. The town was granted its market charter by Edward I in 1306. The market is held every Tuesday in the market square. St Mary's Church is believed to date from about AD 653.
Historically, Wirksworth developed as a centre for lead mining and later of stone quarrying.
Many of the institutions in the area have connections with the Gell family, of Hopton Hall, whose most famous member was Sir John Gell, 1st Baronet, who fought on Parliament's side in the Civil War. One of his predecessors, Anthony Gell, founded the local grammar school, and one of his successors, Phillip Gell, opened the curiously named Via Gellia (possibly named in allusion to the Roman Via Appia), a road from the family's lead mines around Wirksworth to the smelter in Cromford. Today, Anthony Gell School is named after Anthony Gell.

Wirksworth - Derbyshire (PART 1)
This weekend, we drove slightly to the north of England to Wirksworth Derbyshire. Interestingly, St. Mary's Church has kept ancient stone carving from the Anglo-Saxon period inside their church. We've found them quite funny because the carvings look like children drawings. No offence, I'm just being honest ^ ^'
We then walked up to the Green Hill to visit Star Disc and found the views very impressive along the way up. It was quite a long climb to the top. First thing we saw when we entered Stoney Wood was the very impressive star disc created by an artist name Aidan Shingler.
We took a walk further down and found also Orientation Disc, Calendar Stones, Chain Sculpture, Peace pole and Infinity loop. That was it for us that day. Please subscribe for our upcoming episodes.

The town was granted a market charter by Edward I in 1306. The market is still held, every Tuesday in the market square. The parish church of St Mary's is believed to date from about AD 653.
Historically, Wirksworth developed as a centre for lead mining and later of stone quarrying. Many of the lead mines in the area were owned by the Gell family of nearby Hopton Hall, and their name is preserved in the Via Gellia, a main road to the north-west of the town, and in the Anthony Gell School.
The Wirksworth area may have been visited by Homo erectus as long as 150,000 years ago, during warm inter-glacial periods. An Acheulean handaxe from the Lower Paleolithic has been found at Hopton nearby. From other remains found in the county there would seem to have been human presence at least periodically until the Romans arrived. The Carboniferous limestone around Wirksworth has been extensively quarried through the town's history, resulting in several rock faces and cliffs in the hills that surround the town.
Districts of Wirksworth include Yokecliffe, Gorsey Bank, Bolehill, Mountford and Miller's Green. Bolehill, although technically a hamlet in its own right in Wirksworth's suburbs, is the oldest and most northern part of the town, while Yokecliffe is a fairly new estate in the western area of the town. Modern houses have recently been built in the Three Trees area and at the bottom of Steeple Grange, this housing estate is called Spring Close.
Within Wirksworth civil parish are 108 structures that are listed by Historic England for their historic or architectural interest. The Parish Church of St Mary is listed Grade I and eight structures (15 Market Place, 35 Green Hill, 1 Coldwell Street, Haarlem Mill, Wigwell Grange, the Red Lion Hotel, Gate House and the former grammar school) are Grade II*. Wirksworth Heritage Centre is just off Market Place in Crown Yard. The exhibition shows the history of Wirksworth from its prehistoric Dream Cave and woolly rhinos, through its Roman and lead mining histories, to the modern era. Other nearby attractions include the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, the Steeple Grange Light Railway and Peak District National Park. The study Wirksworth and Five Miles Around includes census information, notes on church monuments, accounts of crimes, church wardens' accounts, maps, a transcription of "Ince's pedigrees", monument inscriptions and old photographs, parish registers and wills.
( Wirksworth - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Wirksworth . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Wirksworth - UK

Wirksworth is a market town in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England . Wirksworth is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. Within it is the source of the River Ecclesbourne. The town was granted a market charter by Edward I in 1306. The market is still held, every Tuesday in the market square. The parish church of St Mary's is believed to date from about AD 653.

This weekend, we drove slightly to the north of England to Wirksworth Derbyshire. Interestingly, St. Mary's Church has kept ancient stone carving from the Anglo-Saxon period inside their church. We've found them quite funny because the carvings look like children drawings. No offence, I'm just being honest ^ ^'
We then walked up to the Green Hill to visit Star Disc and found the views very impressive along the way up. It was quite a long climb to the top. First thing we saw when we entered Stoney Wood was the very impressive star disc created by an artist name Aidan Shingler.
We took a walk further down and found also Orientation Disc, Calendar Stones, Chain Sculpture, Peace pole and Infinity loop. That was it for us that day. Please subscribe for our upcoming episodes.

Dashcam Footage in Wirksworth, Alfa Romeo Driver with a Spacesaver tyre pulls out last minute and on the wrong side of the road. He then over tkes the car in front of him.
From then on his driving isn't right and swerves a few times.
I did try and report this to Derbyshire police but after being on hold for 20 minutes, I gave up.

The Beery Boater is a narrowboat fitoutthat follows my progress on sourcing, building, and fitting-out a 57-foot narrowboat liveaboard, with a view to eventually cruising around the UK’s canal and river network.
Expect to see lots of DIY tips, ideas, and ‘how to do it’ information on everything concerned with fitting out a modern-day narrowboat.
Wirksworth is a market town in Derbyshire, England, with a population of over 5,000.
Wirksworth is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. Within it is the source of the River Ecclesbourne. The town was granted its market charter by Edward I in 1306. The market is held every Tuesday in the market square. St Mary's Church is believed to date from about AD 653.
Historically, Wirksworth developed as a centre for lead mining and later of stone quarrying.
Many of the institutions in the area have connections with the Gell family, of Hopton Hall, whose most famous member was Sir John Gell, 1st Baronet, who fought on Parliament's side in the Civil War. One of his predecessors, Anthony Gell, founded the local grammar school, and one of his successors, Phillip Gell, opened the curiously named Via Gellia (possibly named in allusion to the Roman Via Appia), a road from the family's lead mines around Wirksworth to the smelter in Cromford. Today, Anthony Gell School is named after Anthony Gell.
