The village of Etwall in Derbyshire lies about six miles west of Derby on the road leading to Uttoxeter and has been a settlement since the time of the Domesday Book, the village is believed to have been named after the Saxon king Eata. Throughout its history it was simply a small rural village but then in the mid 20th century the population trebled as a result of the post war boom in housing. The village is dominated by St Helens Church, despite a period of “restoration” in the early 18th century the church today does retain some of its early architectural features. Immediately adjacent to the church are The Almshouses, built in the 16th century and replaced in the 17th century by the stone buildings that are here today. Etwall is also famous as being the home of Sir John Port who founded Repton school in the16th century. The village centre consists of many 18th and 19th century buildings which offer the local resident a range of local shops. Etwall has developed significantly in order to meet the demands of its residents and today there are a range of local amenities for its residents.
