At the end of a fine ridge of high land, Hulland has a magnificent outlook over the hills and dales. From the top of the sturdy embattled tower of the church we can sometimes see the Wrekin in Shropshire, some 40 miles away.
The church, built in 1851, has an enormous font, its eight sides carved with the symbols of the Four Evangelists. Its bowl is over ten feet round and stands over four feet high. A new chancel was added to the church in 1961.
On a pretty stretch of the Ashbourne-Belper road, shaded by lovely trees, stand the old Hall and the new, the old one now a farmhouse, said to have been built with stones from a moated house in the valley which was destroyed in the Civil War.
