Our heritage

One of only three Moravian settlements in the country

Founded in 1750, the Ockbrook Settlement is six acres of listed red-brick Georgian buildings, with a Grade II* chapel dating to 1751. The church is the living heart of a community whose roots reach back through Herrnhut in 1722 to Bohemia in 1457.

The Settlement is a living community with several users — the church is one part of the wider settlement.
