Another alleyway off the Market Place leads to the Heritage Centre where the history and development of the town is explained.

Bonsall is about 5 miles (8 km) from Matlock and about 18 miles (29 km) from Derby. Bonsall has a long history of lead mining, along with its neighbouring town of Wirksworth, probably going back to Roman times, and is recorded in the Domesday Book.

The village is on the Limestone Way, at the head of its branch to Matlock. The village lies on the edge of the Peak District National Park, the border of which bisects the 'Uppertown' suburb. The approach to the village is via a 1:5 hill, which leads down to Via Gellia (now the A5012 road) and nearby Cromford. The road is called the Clatterway, or occasionally the Col du Bonsall.^{[citation needed]}

Parts of the parish church of Saint James the Apostle date from the 13th century, including the north side of the chancel and the arcade of the south aisle. The arcade of the north aisle is later and so is the Perpendicular Gothic tower. The outer walls of the church were rebuilt in 1861–62 under the direction of the Gothic Revival architect Ewan Christian.^[2]

There is a market cross in the village centre that may date from the Middle Ages. The ball on top was added in 1671.^[2] Bonsall applied for a market charter some three hundred years ago,^[when?] but was rejected.^[3]

The Manor House was built in about 1670 and the Kings Head public house was established in 1677

Bonsall village hosts World Cup Hen Racing too!
