Old Brampton lies on the ancient road westward across the moors; for many centuries this was the only way from Chesterfield to Baslow and beyond. There has been a church here since at least 1100. For most of that time it was the centre of a huge parish which included Holymoorside and ran right up to the western edge of Chesterfield, but in 1832 St Thomas’ Church was built in New Brampton and took away the eastern and southern parts of the old parish. The church is a Grade 1 listed building, built from local sandstones, and stands in a large churchyard surrounded by trees, which makes a very attractive setting.
