The Pursgloves of Alfreton - [ALFR]
Alfreton was founded as a Norman manor by King Alfred. It is situated in the Amber Valley in North East Derbyshire with historical associations to Swanwick, Somercotes, Ironville and Riddings. The church of St Martin of Tours dates from the 12th Century. A market town developed on agriculture in the middle ages became more prosperous with the discovery of coal and iron ore in the 17th century. in the 18th century, Alfreton had a turnpike road connecting it to the local centres of Derby, Nottingham, Mansfield and Chesterfield. It is now on a number of main road routes and is close to the M1 motorway. |
