Welcome to Holbrook

Holbrook is a small village located in the county of Derbyshire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Amber and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The name Holbrook is believed to have originated from the Old English words for "hollow" and "brook", referring to the village's location in a valley.

One of the most notable landmarks in Holbrook is the St. Michael and All Angels Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church features a Norman doorway and a 14th-century tower, and is known for its beautiful stained glass windows.
