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
