Ault Hucknall - DSCN0054 - 240117
Ault Hucknall is a village, which gives its name to the surrounding civil parish, in the Bolsover district of Derbyshire, England. Local residents describe the settlement as the "smallest village in England", as it consists of only a church and three houses.
St. John the Baptist Church dates from the 11th century with 14th and 15th-century features. It was restored between 1885 and 1888 by William Butterfield. It is the resting place of Anne Keighley, wife of William Cavendish, 1st Earl of Devonshire. It is also the resting place of Thomas Hobbes, who died at Hardwick in 1679, the great philosopher and secretary to successive seventeenth century Earls and Dukes of Devonshire.
At the side of the church is a cottage which was originally the vicarage.
