Hulland Ward is a village in Derbyshire, found about six miles west of Belper, on the A517 road. The parish includes the hamlets of Biggin, Nether Biggin and Millington Green. Immediately to its west is a sister village, Hulland.
Hulland Ward itself contains about 400 houses and has a population of just under a thousand inhabitants (measured at 927 with Mercaston in the 2011 Census).
Originally, the village consisted of a few dwellings on the coaching road into the Duffield Frith, with the road being gated. This was known as Ward Gate and over the years, due to its proximity to Hulland Village was known as Hulland Wardgate. Sometime in the 17th century, the gate part was dropped, and the hamlet grew into the village now known as Hulland Ward.
One of the earliest ore-stamping mills was built at Hulland Ward by Burchard Kranich in 1556.
