Barton Blount is a very small, rural civil parish in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, set amid rolling farmland rather than a recognisable village centre. With only a handful of dwellings and an exceptionally small population that is often grouped with neighbouring parishes for census purposes, it has a quiet, agricultural character and few local services.
The parish’s interest is largely historical and landscape-based: it contains a moated manor house and several listed structures alongside the evocative remains of a medieval chapel and visible earthworks, so it attracts local historians and walkers. Socially and economically it is dominated by farming and dispersed rural residency, prized for its tranquillity and historic atmosphere rather than any commercial or cultural hub.
