To the west of the village is the River Derwent. The parish church is dedicated to All Saints. Immediately to the south of the church stands Curbar Primary School, which serves the three villages of Curbar, Calver and Froggatt. The school is the custodian of an old May custom known as the Maybough.[ citation needed ] On the first of May, or as soon as possible thereafter, a tree-branch is brought into school and decorated with flowers by the children. The Maybough is taken to various points in Curbar and Calver, where it is displayed to the accompaniment of songs and a dance. Several attempts have been made to ascertain the origin of the Maybough. The event was originally performed by the villagers rather than the school, the switchover taking place around the time of the First World War.[ citation needed ]
