| • | Dethick, Lea and Holloway is a civil parish (and, since 1899, an ecclesiastical parish), in the Amber Valley district of the English county of Derbyshire.
It is located in central Derbyshire south east of Matlock and, as its name suggests, contains three main settlements – Dethick, Lea and (Upper) Holloway.
Dethick shares its name with the Dethick family whose roots there can be traced with certainty to 1228 but who may well have been established there earlier. Historically the most notable family to be associated with Dethick are the Babingtons; Anthony Babington was executed for his leading role in a plot to rescue Mary I of Scotland from imprisonment by her cousin Queen Elizabeth I of England.
Lea's most notable family is the Nightingales who spent the summers there – Florence Nightingale stayed at Lea Hurst, and during the 1880s, nursed her mother and rendered charitable work in the communites of Lea, Holloway and nearby Whatstandwell.
