Biggin is a village in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England. It is part of the Hartington Nether Quarter parish, and is in the Peak District National Park. Biggin was once known as Newbiggin, when it had a monastic settlement of the Cistercian order, established by the monks of Garendon Abbey, Leicestershire. The monks established a sheep ranch at Biggin Grange, which still has one ancient outbuilding. Farming is still important to the village, though at one time (18th Century) it was also a centre of lead mining. When the lead started to be worked out, there was a migration of lead miners to Upper Teesdale, and they probably took the name Newbiggin there. Today tourism is an important industry alongside farming.

The Church of St Peter in Alstonefield, Staffordshire Moorlands, England is a grade I listed Anglican parish church. The oldest parts are 12th century; it has been extended and refurbished in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries and in 1870. Anglo-Saxon crosses found on the site, and the dedication to St Peter, support the belief that there was an earlier Saxon church on the site.In the churchyard is a memorial stone to Ann Green, who died 11 April 1518. This is believed to be the oldest legible gravestone in England. The stone is circular in shape, with wording carved on the edge and on one flat surface.In 2010 lead worth £14,000 was stolen from the church roof.
