The civil parish of Pentrich sits within the borough of Amber Valley in Derbyshire, England. It is a small, largely rural settlement of farmland, scattered houses and lanes on the edge of the valley country that characterises this part of Derbyshire, with easy access to local walking country and the old industrial corridors of the Erewash and Derwent valleys.
Pentrich is best known for the 1817 Pentrich Rising, when local workers marched towards Nottingham in protest at poverty and government policy - an episode that ended in arrests, executions and transportation, and which remains a significant chapter in early labour history. Today the parish is quiet and agricultural in character, with a heritage interest that attracts walkers and anyone interested in the social history of the Industrial Revolution and rural Derbyshire.
