The stone building that used to be the Youth Hostel on Brunswood Road, and which catered for school parties, ramblers and walkers from the mid 1950s, is now a Probationary Service office. This was, however, originally the Vicarage for the incumbent of Holy Trinity Church, Matlock Bath and the webmistress remembers the grounds being decked out with bunting and stalls about 1953 for a summer church fete involving the schoolchildren from Matlock Bath School who performed a series of Country Dances.

The vicar moved to another, slightly smaller, property on Brunswood Road until, eventually, a modern vicarage was built close the church within the grounds of what had been the Royal Hotel.

To the right of the main door on the first floor there is a blocked up window and there are others on the side of the building. I always understood they were blocked up to reduce the number of windows in the property - so there would be less "Window Tax" to pay.

On the right hand end is a single storey extension that was built as the dining room for the Country Club, which the building was used for before it was taken over by the Youth Hostel association.
