The Worshipful Company is on a 3 day tour of Derbyshire and the station was their first stop. After some refreshments, they received a very interesting talk about the revolution from the Pentrich Revolution Group before having a ceremony outside. They then walked to nearby All Saints Church to view the Revolution Quilt and laying a wreath. Quite a number of the revolutionaries were Framework Knitters.
