About Ticknall

Ticknall, a village in South Derbyshire, breathes the quiet dignity of the East Midlands landscape. It lies 6.6 km north-east of Swadlincote (from Swadlincote: bearing 51°T, OS grid SK 350 238), and is situated south of Ingleby village. The gentle slopes surrounding Ticknall, once shaped by the quarrying of its distinctive limestone, now offer a subtle beauty, their contours softened by time and the patient growth of hedgerows. The ancient parish church of St. George, with its sturdy tower, stands as a silent witness to centuries of village life, its stone catching the diffused light of an English sky. The village green, a patch of well-trodden turf, still echoes with the memory of past gatherings, a place where the present day feels tethered to a more leisurely past. The very air in Ticknall seems to carry the faint scent of damp earth and distant woodlands, a constant reminder of its rural heart.
