Welcome to Moravian Settlement

Moravian Settlement Derbyshire is a historic site located in the village of Ockbrook, Derbyshire, England. The settlement was established in 1750 by a group of Moravian missionaries who were seeking to spread their religious beliefs. The Moravians were a Protestant denomination that originated in the Czech Republic in the 15th century. They were known for their strong sense of community and their commitment to social justice.

The Moravian Settlement in Derbyshire was one of several established by the Moravians in England during the 18th century. The settlement consisted of a number of buildings, including a church, a school, and several houses for the residents. The Moravians were known for their strict adherence to their religious beliefs, and the settlement was run according to their principles. The residents of the settlement were expected to live a simple life, focused on prayer, work, and community service.

Today, the Moravian Settlement in Derbyshire is a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who are interested in learning about the history of the Moravian Church and the settlement's role in the development of the region. The settlement has been carefully preserved, and many of the original buildings are still standing. Visitors can tour the church, the school, and the other buildings, and learn about the daily life of the residents of the settlement. The Moravian Settlement in Derbyshire is a fascinating glimpse into a unique religious community that played an important role in the history of England.
