Hutton, the Historian of Derby

Early Life and Influences

Hutton, born in 1723 in the bustling market town of Derby, was a keen observer of the people and events that shaped his surroundings.

The town, a hub for miners, artisans, and traders, left an enduring mark on Hutton's mind. Derby's Exeter Bridge, adorned with a bas relief depicting the historian, stands as a testament to his enduring legacy as the chronicler of his hometown.
