== History == There is evidence of human habitation in the area from the Ice Age, an Iron Age fort and possibly a Roman camp. A Roman ring found in Elmton is on display in Chesterfield Museum and Art Gallery. The village was named Helmetune in Anglo Saxon times after the large number of elm trees that were once a major feature. By the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086 the village was a manor belonging to Walter D'Aincourt. The Victoria County History has published a detailed online account of the history of Elmton from ancient times.
