Belper is a town and civil parish in the local government district of Amber Valley in Derbyshire, England.
At the time of the Norman occupation, Belper was part of the land centred on Duffield held by the family of Henry de Ferrers. The Domesday Survey records a manor of "Bradley" which is thought to have stood in an area of town now known as the Coppice. At that time it was probably within the Forest of East Derbyshire which covered the whole of the county east of the Derwent. It was possibly appropriated by William de Ferrers, 4th Earl of Derby at some time after it was disafforested in 1225 and became part of Duffield Frith.
The town's name is thought to be a corruption of Beaurepaire - meaning beautiful retreat - the name given to a hunting lodge, the first record of which being in a charter of 1231. This would have been the property of Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster who died in 1296, the record of his estate mentioning "a capital mansion". The chapel built at that time still exists. Originally consecrated in 1250 as the Chapel of St Thomas, it was rededicated to St John during the reign of King Henry VIII. St John's Chapel is still in use today and is thought to be the oldest building still standing in Belper.

www.joldrini.com/forever-belper "Sometimes you have to move away to appreciate where you came from. And when you come back you find those roots are even deeper." Forever Belper is a song that reflects the affection that people have for a town that has a remarkable history coupled with the ability to regularly reinvent itself through the drive and initiatives of its residents. The song also portrays the diversity and the breadth of the town, from the charm of the river and its gardens, the historical deer park, to St. John's Chapel and the estates of Far Laund. Ultimately any town is its people and the word 'community' is a word that is often found juxtaposed with Belper. Long may it continue.

Good memories of time gone by
Sweet friendships that never die
Will always be there when you grow tired
Don't swim against the currect
Because your arms will grow tired
Just float there and let the water pass the time
Cus' you never know what life throws at you
So don't tell me that you know the secret
Cus' you don't know me and I don't know you
Yeah, I'll tell you when I get there
And if I knew, I'd be lying too
Well preachers preach and liars lie
Burglars steal and smokers get high
They're not better or worse than you or I
Ya don't swim against the current
Because your arms will grow tired
Just float there and let the water pass the time
Cus' you never know what life throws at you
So don't tell me that you know the secret
Cus' you don't know me and I don't know you
Yeah, I'll tell you when I get there
And if I knew, well I'd be lying too
And don't give up on anything
Cus' I need you around here for a while
And don't give in to anything
Just forget about it out and smile
It's been two years since he's gone
I write these words
I sing this song
Some preacher says he knows what's going on
Cus' you never know what life throws at you
Yea don't tell me that you know some secret
Cus' you don't know me and I don't know you
Yeah, I'll tell you when I get there
Well if I knew, I'd be lying too
I'd be lying too
I'd be lying too
