- This article is about the village in Derbyshire. For the village of Quorndon see Quorn, Leicestershire.
Quarndon is a linear village in the English county of Derbyshire. It is due north of, and essentially contiguous with, the City of Derby's suburb of Allestree. Formerly it was notable for its chalybeate springs that were at the well and in the grounds of neighbouring Kedleston Hall.
[edit] References
- ^ This rather ornate spring well is in the village of Quarndon. A plaque inside the well has the following description "17th century chalybeate spring well. Once famous spa noted for medicinal waters containing iron. Visited by Daniel Defoe in 1727".
