Temple Normanton is a small village and civil parish in North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, lying a few miles north of Chesterfield and close to Clay Cross. It sits in rolling agricultural countryside and retains a compact, rural character with stone cottages, narrow lanes and a small cluster of community buildings that give it the feel of a traditional Derbyshire settlement.
The "Temple" prefix hints at medieval connections to the Knights Templar, while later centuries saw the area touch on the North Derbyshire coalfield and the wider industrial story of the region. Today it is largely residential, with many residents commuting to nearby towns and cities, and local life centred on the parish church, village hall and scattered historic buildings that mark its long, layered past.
