Welcome to Pinxton

Pinxton is a small village located in the county of Nottinghamshire, England. It is situated between the towns of Alfreton and Sutton-in-Ashfield and is known for its rich industrial heritage. The village was once a thriving mining community, with coal mining being the primary source of employment for the locals. Today, the village has a population of around 5,000 people and is a popular residential area for those who work in the nearby towns and cities.

One of the most notable landmarks in Pinxton is the Pinxton Wharf, which was once a busy canal port. The wharf was used to transport coal and other goods to and from the village, and it played a significant role in the local economy. Today, the wharf has been restored and is a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the canal towpath, enjoy a picnic by the water, or even take a boat trip along the canal.

Pinxton is also home to several historic buildings, including the St. Helen's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and impressive architecture. Other notable buildings in the village include the Pinxton Hall, which was once the home of the famous industrialist, Sir Richard Arkwright, and the Pinxton Manor, which is a stunning Georgian mansion that has been converted into luxury apartments.
