Alfreton arise! by Martin Davis Artist
This painting can be seen on the sign for the town by the bus shelter opposite Watchorn church. It commemorates Alfreton’s part in the Pentrich Revolution over 200 years ago and shows its menfolk rising to the call on the market place in front of the Moot Hall.
The original piece was donated to the Pentrich & South Wngfield Revolution society and can be seen as part of their traveling exhibition. A limited edition print of this painting hangs and can be viewed in The Moot Bar on the Mkt Place.
