A short history of Alfreton
Roman roads nearby point to early settlement in the area. It is thought to appear first in 1004 as Aelfredingtune in a will, though nothing shows the Alfred concerned was the king. The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as Elstretune. Earl Roger de Busli held the lordship first and handed the role to Baron Ralf Ingram. Part of the Church of St Martin dates to 1200. Farming dominated the Middle Ages before mining and iron working grew. Alfreton Hall was built around 1750. In the 18th century the town led Derbyshire in coal mining. Turnpike Acts from 1759 made it a coaching centre and the Cromford Canal opened in 1793. The population of the area rose from 2,301 in 1801 to 21,232 in 1931. The last Lord of Alfreton, William Palmer-Morewood, died in 1957. Eighteen listed buildings stand near the centre, led by the Grade II* Church of St Martin.
