EDALE is a parish, formed in 1863 from Castleton parish, 3
miles north-west from Castleton, 15 north-west from Bakewell and
5½
north-east from Chapel-en-le-Frith, in the High Peak division of
the county, High Peak hundred, petty sessional division, union and
county court district of Chapel-en-le-Frith, rural deanery of Eyam,
archdeaconry of Derby and diocese of Southwell. The river Noe runs
through the valley. The Dore and Chinley railway now (1891) in course
of construction passes through the parish, and there will be a station
about 200 yards from the church. Holy Trinity church, erected in
1812, was demolished by faculty from the Bishop of Southwell, in
March 1885 and the materials incorporated in a new church on a fresh
site about 100 yards distant, the site of the old church being added
to the burial ground. The new church of the same name, erected in
1885-6, at a total cost of £2,950,
and consecrated by the Bishop of Southwell on June 23rd, 1886, is
a building in the Early Decorated style, from designs by Mr. William
Dawes, architect, of Manchester, and consists of chancel, nave,
vestry, organ chamber, south porch and a tower at the north-east
angle with octagonal broach spire, completed in 1889, and reaching
a height of 89 feet: in the chancel is a picture removed from the
old church, representing the "Adoration of the Magi;" and
a tablet in memory of the late Rev. John Champion, for 30 years
vicar of Edale; the
stone pulpit and chancel screen were the gift of Mrs. W. N. Champion,
and the font, a memorial to the late Rev. George Spurrier, a former
incumbent, was presented by his relatives. The register, in part
a copy of the original, dates from the year 1633. The living is
a vicarage, average tithe rent-charge £40, net yearly value £190,
including 100 acres of glebe with residence, in the gift of the
trustees, and held since 1881 by the Rev. Francis Beresford Champion
B.A. of Jesus College, Cambridge. Here is a Wesleyan chapel, built
in 1847. There are various charities for the poor. Here is a large
cotton mill, and in the neighbourhood are several natural curiosities,
including limestone caves at Castleton, and a Roman encampment on
the top of Mam Tor, while the highest hills in Derbyshire flank
the northern side. The principal landowners are the Duke of Devonshire
K.G. Lord Scarsdale, George Shirt esq. John Fox Shirt esq. Mrs.
Champion and W. N. Champion esq. of Cantley hall, Doncaster. The
soil varies considerably in quality, but is chiefly cold and heavy,
on Yoredale shale, and is chiefly devoted to hay and pasture. The
area is 7,043 acres; rateable value, £3,011 ; the population
