Atendees of the Wirksworth Great Barmote Court inspect lead ore in brass freeing dish dated 1512. The Derbyshire White Peak has been the site of lead mining activity since Roman times. Barmote Courts have been held since 1288 and are thought to be the oldest industrial courts in the world. The court now sits annually at the Moot Hall, Wirksworth on the 3rd Wednesday in April.
