Dethick, Lea and Holloway

Additionally, it is home to a doctor's surgery, a Methodist chapel, the Yew Tree public house (closed in 2008), a village butcher and a small art gallery.

Although Arkwright won the case, it attracted the attention of the Lancashire pirate spinners, who in the end succeeded in getting the patents revoked.

Lea lies north of Holloway at grid reference SK330575 and is, by population, the second biggest settlement in the parish.

Unlike Dethick and Holloway, Lea is mentioned briefly in the Domesday Book when it was spelt Lede[3] and was owned by Ralph fitzHurbert.

The parish has one pub, a grocery, a butcher, a village hall, a church, a chapel, a Primary school and public toilets.

The parish is able to receive ADSL Broadband, and since the digital switchover of the Bolehill transmitter in 2011, Freeview television.

There is a once-hourly bus route (the 140/141/142) that stops in Lea Bridge, Holloway and Leashaw, connecting the Parish with Matlock, Belper, Ripley and Alfreton.

At its entrance is a small café with indoor and outdoor seating, and a plant shop selling a wide variety of species (only open in summer).
