Crich stand was built in its current form in 923. But it is thought that there have been four memorials on that site since Roman times.

A tramway was originally installed by George Stevenson to carry Limestone from Cliff quarry to the lime kilns at Ambergate. George Stevenson used to stay at the Wheatsheaf Inn in the village.

Electricity was first introduced into the village in 1924 along the Common to the Market Place.

In 1997 the Glebe Field Centre opened which is the village’s largest community centre. The centre has a fantastic range of facilities and aims to look after the needs of the community.

Crich was the setting for Peak Practice when the village was known as Cardale and the local fish and chip shop has taken its name from the series.
