View Larger MapDescription of institution: A market town in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England. The origins of Wirksworth are thought to have related to the presence of thermal warm water springs nearby, coupled with a sheltered site at the head of a glaciated valley, able to yield cereals such as oats and provide timber suitable for building.
