Wirksworth in Derbyshire is a small town of stone houses and narrow streets, famous for its annual Whitsun well-dressing ceremony. It was once a lead-mining centre, dating from Roman times.
In Moot Hall, built in 1814, is a 16th century bronze dish, used as a standard measurement of the lead produced by the miners.
In St Mary's 13th century church is the lid of an Anglo-Saxon coffin, believed to be 9th century work. There is also a wealth of early Christian carving. George Eliot set much of her novel Adam Bede in and around the town.
