EckingtonEckingtonFirst mentioned in 1002, Eckington has long been associated with the Sitwell Family, from nearby Renishaw Hall. The town has a fascinating 12th Century church, and it is thought that D H Lawrence based his novel "Lady Chatterley's Lover" in and around Eckington. A 2 mile circular walk "Eckington Explored" highlights the history of this delightful Derbyshire town.Eckington was once an agricultural settlement, but as a result of coal beneath and around it was transformed into a village dependent on the collieries. The parish Church of St Peter and St Paul dates from the year 1100 and is of exceptional architectural interest, still retaining the original Norman doorway. In a field at the back of the church, near the river Moss stands the Priest's Well where the parish priest used to draw water for the needs of the church. In 1998, a regeneration project was launched to combat the effects of mine closures and out of town retail developments. The town has much to offer including a town trail.
