Alfreton Village Lock‑up

Highlight • Other

A parish lockup dating from the mid 18th century. There is a raised plaque above it inscribed 'House of Confinement'. The interior has a central corridor with cells to either side. It is an unusually large example of village lockup. They were used for drunks, petty criminals and people waiting to appear in front of the magistrate.

Alfreton Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Updated October 2022: school moved/extended to the site on another side of the park - A large park with easy walking both across and around the track (mainly for horses) with lots of old trees, plenty of birds and wildlife, Alfreton Cricket Club (where you can often watch matches in the Summer) and Alfreton Hall at the other end. Various entrances and exits at different intervals around the park. At certain times (dog training lessons/cricket clubs etc) parking verge is quite busy but there is turning space further up and a car park to the left but currently only surfaced with big stones that don't do tyres a lot of good. Dog bins on either side of park and plenty of benches at different intervals to rest on.

St Martin's Church, Alfreton

Highlight • Religious Site

St Martin's Church, Church Street, Alfreton, originally a 13th century church with significant later alterations.

The oldest part appears to be the stilted archway from the nave into tower and may be attributed to the commencement of the Early English period. The Decorated Period is in evidence in some of the arches separating the nave from the south aisle, probably dating to c1320, and the moulding of the arch of the south doorway. The tower is early Perpendicular, probably from the commencement of the 15th century. In 1868, the church was enlarged and altered. The chancel was almost completely rebuilt and extended to retain its former size. The church is first noticed at the endowment of Beauchief Abbey between 1172 and 1176 and it is reasonable to assume that the founder of the Abbey was also the founder of the church. None of the work in the church pre-dates this period.
