ALFRETON is an extensive parish, market town and head of a petty sessional division and county court district 9¼ miles east-by-north from Wirksworth, 14 north-north-east from derby 139½ from London by road and 132 by railway, 2¼ east from South Winfield station, 24 from Loughborough, 38 from Leicester, 22½ from Sheffield, 16 from Nottingham and 1 mile from Alfreton station on the Erewash Valley section of the Midland railway, in the Mid division of the county, Scarsdale hundred, Belper union, rural deanery of Alfreton, archdeaconry of Derby and diocese of Southwell : a branch of the Midland railway connects this town with Mansfield, viá Teversal. Alfreton is pleasantly seated on the brow of a hill, the principal streets meeting at right angles in the market place, and is well paved and lighted with gas from extensive works at Butterley and Lindway, in the parish of Ashover and at Brackenfield in the parish of Morton, having a storage capacity of 27,000,000 gallons. The district is governed by a Local Board of fifteen members and includes several outlying villages : these are now split up into the following wards : 1. The Alfreton ward ; 2. The Somercotes and Reddings [sic] ward ; 3. The Swanwick ward ; 4. The Ironville ward.

The church of St. Martin is an edifice of stone consisting of a chancel, nave of five bays, aisles, south porch, vestry and a western tower containing a clock and 5 bells, dating from 1627 and 1780, and a small sanctus bell : one of the oldest portions of the church is the arch opening from the tower to the nave, which may certainly be attributed to the commencement of the Early English period ; the only other memorial of that period now apparent is the head of a sepulchral cross, incised on a slab, and found beneath the pavement of the chancel during the alterations ; the nave is separated from the aisles by arcades of five arches of the Decorated period, on circular columns with octagonal bases, erected about 1320, the easternmost arches being added in 1868, when the chancel was extended : to this period also belongs the south doorway : the tower is a fair specimen of Early Perpendicular and was probably built at the beginning of the same period is the vestry, which is boldly vaulted with stone and rubble : built into the north wall of the chancel is a large slab of gritstone, with brass shield of arms and Latin inscription of John Ormond esq. (1503) and Joan his wife, daughter and heiress of William Chaworth kt (1507); in the north aisle are monuments to Anthony Morewood, gentleman (1636), and others of that name ; there is a handsome reredos of Derbyshire alabaster, into which has been worked a large slab of alabaster formerly on the chancel floor : there are also several memorial windows, that at the east end being a memorial to Charles R. Palmer-Moorwood esq. of Alfreton Hall, who died in 1873 : in the vestry is a memorial window, erected by the parishioners in 1884, to the wife of William Henry Draper M.A. then vicar of this parish : in 1844, two carved oak reading desks were placed in the church, by subscription ; and in 1885 a brass lectern was given by the Hon. Mrs. Palmer-Morewood ; the church plate was given in the last century by various members of the Turner family, of Swanwick Hall : in 1868-9 the church was thoroughly restored and considerably enlarged, at a cost £3,200; there are 560 sittings. There are no registers earlier than the year 1706. The living is a vicarage, average tithe rent charge £121, gross yearly value £333, with residence and 11 acres of glebe, in the gift of Charles Rowland Palmer-Morewood esq. And held since 1889 by the Rev. James Arthur Hervey B.A. of Trinity College Cambridge. A new vicarage house is now (1891) in course of erection, at an estimated cost of about £2,000.

The Catholic chapel, in Park street, and dedicated to St. Mary, is served from Clay Cross, by the Rev. Daniel Meenargh, priest, and there are places of Worship for Wesleyans, Congregationalists, Primitive Methodists and United Methodists Free Church.

A cemetery of 2 acres, in Roger lane, was opened in 1891 ; it is managed by a Burial Board of six members, representing the Alfreton ward.

The Savings Bank is open every Friday, from 2.30 t 3.30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 7 to 7 p.m.

Morewood's Charity of £170 yearly, derived from 28 acres and invested funds, is distributed in moieties in money and kind respectively ; Gisborne's charity of £6 12s. 11d. Yearly, left in 1818 by the Rev. Francis Gisborne of Stavely, some time rector of Stavely, is for clothing ; Hunter's, of £10, left in 1735 and Adam Parker's of £5 5s. Yearly, are for 20 poor widows or poor men in the discretion of the churchwardens : and Turner's Charity, amounting to £1, is given away the first week in January to 20 poor people.
The inhabitants are chiefly employed in the collieries and iron works of the neighbourhood.

Alfreton Markets Company, former to take over the market house, markets and market rights, hold a lease for the same for 21 years from the Lord of the manor. The market Hall is a plain brick building situated in the centre of the town. The weekly market, held on Friday, is fairly well attended ; a general market, held on Saturday, is well attended. Fairs are held on July 30st (which is very large, for cattle and horses), October 7th and November 24th.

The Midland Agricultural Society holds an annual show in September, in Alfreton Park.

The Blackwell Colliery Co. Limited opened a new pit here in 1887, which gives employment to about 600 hands.

Alfreton Park, the seat of Rowland Palmer-Morewood esq. J. P. is situated near the town : the mansion is a large and handsome residence of stone, standing on an elevated and beautiful site surrounded by park and grass land, much improved by the late possessor William Palmer-Morewood esq: the interior is spacious and well arranged : the dining and drawing rooms contain some good pictures and portraits by Romney and Wright, five landscaped by Gainsborough and a very fine Canaletti, representing the Great Court of the Doge's Palace at Venice.

The landowners are Charles Rowland Palmer Norwood esq. J.P. who is lord of the manor, Thomas H. Oakes esq. J.P. of Swanwick Hall, Charles Seeley esq., J.P. of Arnold and Christopher Wood esq. and others.

The soil and subsoil are chiefly clay and loam ; the acreage is 4,626, and of the ecclesiastical parish 1,537 acres ; rateable value for local board district and entire parish, £42, 169. The population of the local board district in 1881 was 4,492 and for the entire parish 13,885.

SLEET MOOR is partly in the district and partly in that of Swanwick.
