Hulland Ward is a village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire roughly 2.5 miles north of Belper, Derbyshire England adjoining the A517 road.
In the Domesday Survey it is listed as Hoilant in the care of Geoffrey d'Alselin. It was part of the lands bestowed upon Henry de Ferrers after the Norman Conquest, and became part of Duffield Frith, with two enclosed royal parks - Mansell Park and Ravensdale Park. The latter is now a civil parish in its own right.[1]
One of the earliest ore-stamping mills was built at Hulland Ward by Burchard Kranich in 1556.
