BRADWELL, nearly surrounded by lofty hills, is a township and
old town, 10 miles north-north-west of Bakewell, 4½ north-north-east
from Tideswell and 7 north-east from Millers Dale station on the Derby
and Manchester section of the Midland railway. The parish, formed
August 5th, 1875, from the parish of Hope, includes the townships
of Abney, Great and Little Hucklow, Grindlow and Wardlow, and the
lordship of Hazlebadge, in the High Peak division of the county, Chapel-en-le-Frith
petty sessional division, Bakewell union and county court district,
High Peak hundred, Castleton manor, rural deanery of Eyam, archdeaconry
of Derby and diocese of Southwell. The Dore and Chinley railway, now
(1891) in course of construction, will pass near the village. The
town is supplied with water from three reservoirs, the property of
the rural sanitary authority, formed on the cliff above Hazlebadge.
The church of St. Barnabas, erected in 1868, is a small building of
stone, in the Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, nave, vestry,
organ chamber and a small turret, at the junction of chancel and nave,
containing one bell : in 1889 a square embattled tower, in the Decorated
style, was added at the south-west angle of the church, at a cost
of nearly £700 ; one bell and a clock have been placed in the
tower by the executors of the late E. M. Wass esq : there are 235
sittings: there is an extensive cemetery attached. The register dates
from the year 1868. The living is a vicarage, tithe rent-charge £270,
net yearly value £230, in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of
Lichfield, and held since 1881 by the Rev. Henry Thornton Dudley M.A.
of Queen's College, Oxford. The Wesleyan chapel, built in 1807 and
enlarged in 1878, seats 800 persons ; the Primitive Methodist chapel,
built in 1845, has 500 sittings ; and the Unitarian chapel, built
in 1798, 70 : the first two have attached cemeteries. The inhabitants
are mostly employed in stone quarrying. Near Eden Tree are two saline
springs, only a few degrees lower in temperature than those of Buxton.
Bagshaw Cavern, in the neighbourhood, is nearly half a mile in extent.
The Duke of Devonshire K.G.is lord of the manor. The trustees of the
late CoI. Charles Leslie K.H. (d. 1870) own a considerable
part of the township.
The soil is light, on limestone and grit stone. The chief crops are
oats and hay. The acreage is 2,119; rateable value, £2,239;
the population in 1881 was 1,019 and the parish 1,664. ABNEY and ABNEY GRANGE, two small hamlets, form a township in this parish, 2 miles south-east from Bradwell. This manor, at Domesday Survey, belonged to William Peverel, or "Peveril of the Peak" : in the 16th century it was possessed by the Bradshaws, of Bradshaw Hall, in this county, from whom is descended the present lord or the manor, Charles Eyre Bradshaw Bowles esq. who is also the sole landowner in the manor. The area is about 1,328 acres ; rateable value, £617; and the population in 1881 was 77. HAZLEBADGE lordship is half a mile south, and 4 miles north-east from Tideswell. The Duke of Rutland G.C.B. is lord of the manor and sole landowner. This manor also belonged to William Peveril, and contains 808 acres ; tithe free ; rateable value, £644 ; the population in 1881 was 45. Sexton, Thomas Middleton. POST, M. O. 0., S.
