About Markeaton
Where to stay in Markeaton
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Ashbourne Road decides it. Its addresses include the Former Toll House and the house at 38, Ashbourne Road, and a bed in Markeaton means somewhere along that approach rather than a hotel quarter, since a former civil parish taken into Derby keeps its houses and leaves the rooms to the city. Eborn House stands close by.
If you are visiting St Barnabas' Church or St Nicholas Church, this side of Derby suits, though the Mackworth Ward streets around them are residential first.
About Markeaton
What are the main landmarks in Markeaton?
The list runs to houses. Eborn House, the Old School House and the Former Toll House are three of the six entries on record for Markeaton, and the house at 38, Ashbourne Road makes a fourth, which leaves the churches to finish it. St Barnabas' Church is one.
St Nicholas Church is the other, and between them and the toll house they carry most of what a visitor to this part of Derby would stop to look at.
What is the history of Markeaton?
Markeaton was a parish first. The record calls it a former civil parish and a suburban village, taken into Derby and placed within the ceremonial county of Derbyshire, which leaves it a name on the map rather than a place with a council of its own. Two buildings keep the older story.
The Old School House and the Former Toll House each name a function that has gone, and the ward that covers Markeaton, Mackworth Ward, carries its business for Derby City Council.
Where is Markeaton?
