Remains of Beauvale Priory This priory was built for Carthusian monks in 1343 - one of only a handful to be built in England for this order. They resisted Henry VIII's Oath of Supremacy and two members of the charterhouse later achieved martyrdom. A small portion of the remains are located outside this grid square in SK4950.

Caught & Bowled Micropub, Giltbrook There is an astonishing number of micropubs along the road from Nuthall to Langley Mill including this cricket-themed establishment in Giltbrook occupying a former newsagent's shop. Perhaps it was the loss of the Hardys and Hanson brewery in Kimberley, whose products were ubiquitous in this area, that spurred the trend.
