Hollington, Derbyshire

[1] There are only a few buildings in Hollington of note such as the Red Lion pub to serve the small population.

Hollington was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086 as Holintune, meaning in old English, the farmstead where holly grows.

The area is known for having high quality soil known as keuper marl, which is considered effective for farming and milk production.

Records show that the chapel in Hollington was very well attended for many years and the location of many of the parishes’ events such as a harvest festival; it was then closed in 1992 and sold and converted into a home in 1995.

Though in current years lack of support from the locals has made it so the committee has had to struggle with poor turnouts.
