Foremark is a hamlet and civil parish in the South Derbyshire district of Derbyshire, England. It contains Foremarke Hall, a medieval manor house which now houses Repton Preparatory School; and part of Foremark Reservoir.
Foremark is near the hamlets of Ingleby, Ticknall, Milton and the village of Repton. Its postal address is Milton. It is also a few miles to the east of the town Burton upon Trent.
Foremake was the manor given to the Burdett Family of Bramcote since the family became a hereditary line of baronets. The Burdett family yielded several politicians, for instance- Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet. The Manor house Foremarke Hall was built by the orders of one of the Baronets in the family in 1762 and now sits in the centre of Foremark;.
The Parish church of Saint Saviour is located on a small mount in south-western Foremark. It was built in 1662 by Sir Francis Burdett. It retains most of its original furnishings.
