== History == The old village of Tichenhalle is mentioned in the Domesday Book in the Hundred of Walecros in the county of Derbyshire. Ticknall was an estate village to Calke Abbey until late in the 20th century and reached its heyday in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when the limeyards and the brickmaking, tile and pottery industries were operating at maximum capacity. The census of 1851 returned a population of 1,241, double the present number of around 650.
