Places to stay in Muggington
In 1086 Muggington village had a priest, church and a mill. It belonged to Henry de Ferrers and was held under him by Ketel or Chetal, from whose name, the place names of both Kedleston and Chatsworth are derived. Since then the population has remained pretty static. It is situated approximately 7 miles north of Derby and can be reached by turning right at Brailsford and going through Mercaston. Nowadays, it still has a church, called All Saints, parts of which possily date back to the domesday book, namely the west wall in the nave, in which there is an 11th century window above a later 12th century arch. Both the window and the arch were bricked up and white washed over, as an economy measure in 1770, and rediscovered during restoration which involved the removal of a west gallery in 1897.
