The village’s name comes from ‘Hurst’, the Saxon name for a wood, and ‘Pierpoint’ after the Pierpoint family who arrived with William the Conqueror in 1066.
Holy Trinity church, with its 130 ft spire, dominates the surrounding countryside and was designed by Sir Charles Barry, the architect of the Houses of Parliament.
