St. Alkmunds Parish Church.

The Duffield church is delicated to St. Alkmund, an exiled Prince of Northhumbria who was murdered in 800 A.D. in Mercia at Northworthy ( renamed Derby after a Danish Viking occupation in 877 A.D.) by bodyguards sent by the usurping King Earduff of Northhumbria.
The first known record of the church is in the Doomsday survey of 1086, which referered to a church and resident priest.

Duffield Evangelical Bapist Church

A building for Christian worship has stood on the site since 1791. Earliest records suggest it was known as 'The church on the Triangle'. In 1830 the present building was erected and the chapel was transfered to'the new Connexion of General Bapists' in 1837. Since that date the building, to which a two-storey school room and domestic facilities were added in 1877, has been in constant use. Website link : www.debc.org.uk
