Welcome to Pinxton Parish Council
|
Pinxton is a small village on the eastern side of Derbyshire, with a few acres still in Nottinghamshire. The inventor John King lived in Pinxton. He made the mine cage safety detaching hook, which became world famous, and his old workshop was converted into a small museum. The church of St Helen partly dates from medieval times and possibly stands on the site of a small castle that once existed here. The population of Pinxton is currently 4202, with 2083 males and 2119 females.
Today, the coal mines and lime kilns have gone but the community spirit common to mining villages remains. Click below to find out more about Pinxton… |
NOTICE
Guidance National lockdown: Stay at Home CORONAVIRUS CASES ARE RISING RAPIDLY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. FIND OUT WHAT YOU CAN AND CANNOT DO.
Bolsover District Council are putting together a comprehensive list of community and voluntary groups to help reduce social isolation and help groups attract new members.
Community and voluntary groups across Bolsover District have suffered as much as anyone else during 2020. Their members have not been able to meet, provide social interaction or generally just be there for a chat or a cuppa due to the pandemic.
This can then often lead to loneliness, social isolation and a deterioration in people’s mental and physical well-being.
The Directory will consist of a list of community, voluntary and sporting clubs and organisations operating across Bolsover District. It will include groups such as scouts, friendship clubs, bingo nights, sports, drama and youth clubs. Once complied the list will be available on the Council’s website as a searchable database and an interactive map as well as a booklet available for people to pick up so they can see
what groups are available.
If your group/organisation would like to be included, you can complete a Community and Voluntary Groups form which can be found at
