Mentioned in the Domesday Book Survey of 1086, Hopwell was a settlement in the Hundred of Morleystone and the county of Derbyshire. It had a recorded population of 14.3 households in 1086.[4]
The most notable building in the parish is Hopwell Hall, built in 1720. It was owned by five generations of the Pares family from 1786 to 1921. The hall was demolished after a fire in 1957 and a new building was erected on the site. The large private house on the site is also called Hopwell Hall.
