Crich i/ˈkraɪtʃ/ is a village in the English county of Derbyshire. It has the National Tramway Museum inside the Crich Tramway Village, and at the summit of Crich Hill above, a Memorial Tower for those of the Sherwood Foresters regiment who died in battle, particularly in World War I.
Built in 1923 on the site of an older tower called Crich Stand, the Memorial Tower is the destination of an annual pilgrimage on the first Sunday in July. It is 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level, and has 52 steps to the top. From there eight counties can be seen, including landmarks such as the Humber Bridge and Lincoln Cathedral.
In 1009 King Æthelred the Unready signed a charter at the Great Council which recognised the position and boundaries of Weston-on-Trent and several other manors including Crich. The charter shows that Weston controlled the nearby crossings of the Trent. The land was listed as eight hides at Weston upon Trent, and a hide at Crich, Morley, Smalley, Ingleby and Kidsley. This land was then given to Morcar, the King's chief minister, and he was unusually given rights that were normally reserved for the King alone. He was given the responsibility for justice and exemption from the Trinoda necessitas, he alone could decide a fate of life or death without the need of the authority of the King or his sheriff. Morcar was given further lands in Derbyshire. Weston (and Crich?) again come under the control of Æþelræd Unræd, when Morcar and his brother were murdered by Eadric in 1015.
On Sunday 10th July, we made our first visit to Crich Tramway Village and you can see our video above. Crich is situated between Chesterfield and Derby, and is home to the The National Tramway Museum. The trams operate along a mile long line, which starts at Town End terminus. Town End recreates a period village scene, complete with shops and a pub. There are 5 stops along the line. At Town End, you will, amongst other things find a Sweet Shop, Gift Shop, Tea Room and Pub. Enjoy the video :) www.railadvent.co.uk Walk In The Park Full by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Artist: http://audionautix.com/
If you are looking for vintage tramway action then look no further. Crich Tramway Museum Society celebrated 60 years in 2015 and as part of this an enthusiasts day was held. This film shows some of the highlights with filming at The bandstand, Wakebridge and Glory Mine. 22 vintage trams were in operation and an impressive array of trams were extracted onto the depot fan for photographic opportunities. The highlights were probably the return to service of Glasgow 812 and Southampton 45 (the first tram acquired by the Society) but arguably it was perhaps Liverpool 869 which stole the show relaunched following a overhaul. Full credit to all at Crich involved in its return to service and to all the hard working staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure the day went smoothly. Deta...

The National Tramway Museum, at Crich, in Derbyshire, England, is situated within Crich Tramway Village, a period village containing a pub, cafe, old-style sweetshop, including the tram depots.
