About Shelton Lock
Where to stay in Shelton Lock
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Two churches, no hotels. That is the whole of the record for Shelton Lock, so a visitor who wants a bed in this part of Derby generally books nearer the city centre and travels out for the day. Saint Edmund's Parish Church anchors the area.
If you are here to see the Church of St Peter or Saint Edmund's Parish Church, a room out on this edge of Derby puts both within a short local journey, though the centre keeps more choice.
About Shelton Lock
What are the main landmarks in Shelton Lock?
Two names, both churches. Saint Edmund's Parish Church and the Church of St Peter are the only landmark entries the record carries for Shelton Lock, and neither comes with a founding year attached to it in what has been gathered here. Derby holds the longer list.
A visitor who wants more than a parish church will find the rest of it under the city itself rather than under this area of England.
What is the history of Shelton Lock?
Derby dates this ground; the suburb keeps no year of its own. Shelton Lock enters the record as an area of Derby rather than as a settlement with a charter of its own, and the two churches on its list are the closest thing it has to a written past. Parishes keep the older memory.
Saint Edmund's Parish Church carries the parish in its name, the Church of St Peter a dedication, and past those two the history on file belongs to Derby and to England rather than to Shelton Lock.
Where is Shelton Lock?
Shelton Lock lies inside Derby, in England, out from the centre that Litchurch and Little Chester both sit closer to.
