Foremark is near the hamlets of Ingleby, Ticknall, Milton and the village of Repton.

[1] Following discoveries by a local metal detectorist, excavations in 2018 found indications of a Viking camp at Foremark, possibly associated with the winter camp of the Great Heathen Army in 874 at nearby Repton.

There is one mill rendering 2 shillings and 24 acres (97,000 m2) of meadow, woodland pasture half a league long and as much broad.

Foremark saw a more active role in World War I when Foremarke Hall was used as an army military hospital; and World War II, when the hall was an officer training centre.

[7] The parish church of Saint Saviour is on a small mount in south-western Foremark.
