Derby Heritage Centre

The Old Grammar School, St. Peter's Churchyard, Derby, is now the Derby Heritage Centre.

The Derby Heritage Development Trust hold meetings here, where they have an office. The Derby Heritage Society meet once per month in the main room of the Centre. The Trust is dedicated to preserving Derby's heritage, its historical buildings and culture.

The Reverend John Cotton, a principal New England Puritan figure and a founder of Boston, Massachusetts, was educated at the Grammar School (see the blue plaque).
