Renishaw is a small village and parish in North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, sitting a short distance from Chesterfield and within easy commuting range of Sheffield. It occupies a fringe position between rural countryside and former industrial areas, so the landscape mixes stone-built village streets with nearby industrial estates and farmland.
Its most notable feature is Renishaw Hall, the long-standing seat of the Sitwell family, whose gardens and occasional public events give the village a cultural focal point. Historically the locality was tied to ironworking and other industries, and today residents tend to combine village life with employment in nearby towns or in light manufacturing locally, giving the place a quiet, community-orientated feel with layers of industrial and country heritage.
