  Buxton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire, England, the gateway to the Peak District National Park.
A municipal borough until 1974, Buxton was then merged with other localities, lying primarily to the north, to form the local government district and borough of High Peak within the county of Derbyshire.
Built on the boundary of the Carboniferous limestone and the Derbyshire shale and gritstone, the original settlement was largely of limestone construction, of which only the parish church of St. Anne, built in 1625, remains.
