Spinkhill is a small village in the north-east of Derbyshire, about a mile south of the nearest town, Killamarsh, and half a mile north-east of Renishaw.

The village has strong historical links to the Roman Catholic Church via the Poles family, who remained recusants from the Tudor period, and out of this connection it has a Roman Catholic Church, the Church of the Immaculate Conception and its associated Catholic Primary School. Spinkhill is also home to Mount St Mary's College, a large private school. There is no Protestant church in the village.

About the village

Spinkill has two commercial establishments, the Angel pub, saved from housing development by a community interest company (CIC). It was re opened in 2015 by an independent landlord and thrives as a gastro pub.

Opposite the Angel is the former Post Office (closed over 20 years ago) which opened as a vintage tea/artisan coffee shop called the Chaffinch Room in 2017, which also serves food and sells gifts.

Several farms lie all around the village.

Spinkhill railway station served the village until its permanent closure in 1958.
