Welcome to Crich Heritage Partnership
The Crich Heritage Partnership was formed to help conserve and maintain the heritage of Crich Parish, but also the history of this corner of south east Derbyshire
Our interests cover the history of Crich, Fritchley, Whatstandwell, Lea and Holloway and that of the surrounding areas.
Our aim is to help keep people informed about our rich heritage and history. Made especially so as we are situated on the bottom right side of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
We hold meetings throughout the year which everybody is welcome to attend. You will find a programme on the next page.
If you are interested in the history of Crich and its surrounding area, please come and join us.
Almost a full house at The Glebe at our September meeting. Maureen Taylor, dressed in period clothes, delivered a fact filled hour on the life and times of Bess of Hardwick (1527-1608) - by the end of her life she had become one of the richest women in the UK with lands and properties inc. Hardwick House of course
The talk was to say the least, fascinating - funny and hugely entertaining. We loved it…
