HISTORY

Calverton was a forest village for much of its existence. In 1780, the parliamentary closure brought agrarian progress to the village. Calverton's present identity, however, was established when the National Coal Board opened a colliery in 1952. As such, population grew and housing estates were established. Ever since the colliery closed in 1999, the village of Calverton has been a large commuter village.
