His photo is of a Spring Starflower or Springstar , part of the onion and amyrillis family. The flowers are honey scented, which is no doubt what attracted the ant. Alfie is a keen photographer with his own Olympus DSLR camera, and this scene caught his eye under a large yew tree at the bottom of Church Lane. His creativity is not limited just to photography: Alfie loves cats and in Year 5 he and a friend made a comic called Cat Man! A total of 39 people took part in our photographic competition this year and we hope you had fun and found it an interesting challenge. We have all had to adapt our ways of doing things over the last year and transferring this competition to an online format, though different, has been a great success.

    UNDER THE EDGE INCORPORATING THE PARISH MAGAZINE GREAT LONGSTONE, LITTLE LONGSTONE, ROWLAND, HASSOP, MONSAL HEAD, WARDLOW www.undertheedge.net No. 242 March 2019 ISSN 1466-8211 Local Names I find some of the local names fascinating, some will be found on maps and others are passed on by word of mouth. A lot of people will know the road from Monsal Head towards Wardlow (Castlegate Lane) as Scratta and probably have no idea why it is so named. Leaving Monsal Head travelling up towards Wardlow past Chertpit Lane on the right is ‘Scratta Wood’ (see photo) which is a one acre wood surrounded by a stone wall. In only the last couple of months it has been sold by the Peak Park for a few thousand pounds, I can’t think why anybody would want to buy it as they would not be able do anything with it. It is actually a ‘Site of Special Scientific Interest’, can’t think why as there are just a few trees and what was once a rubbish tip. Another name that intrigues me is ‘Ruby’s Chair’, a limestone slab where you sit and admire the view (see photo). Who was Ruby and who took the trouble to install the seat. It lies in an easterly direction from Black Harry’s Gate. There’s another name, Black Harry, he was purported to be a highwayman who haunted the area a couple of hundred years ago and would rob travellers passing through until he was caught, hung, drawn and quartered and then gibbeted on the gallows tree at Wardlow Mires.

  • Medieval Lives in Castleton and Hope
    Medieval Lives in Castleton and Hope Report on the historical research for the Medieval common people in Castleton and Hope villages. Produced as part of the Lives of the Common People project, January 2012 - July 2013. By Di Curtis, Angela Darlington, Kay Harrison, Jeanette Holmes, Patricia Miles, Ann Price, John Talbot and Bill Bevan. Castleton and Hope Historical Societies July 2013 Castleton Historical Society and Hope Historical Society Abstract Angela Darlington The period covered by this document extends over nearly 600 years from the Norman Conquest to the English Civil War. In focusing on the lot of the common people of Castleton and Hope, it provides a backcloth in terms of the land that they occupied, and some of the most important influences in their day-to-day lives. They raised their families in unpredictable circumstances affected by the vagaries of climate and disease. In what was already a difficult existence, they also had to contend with the constraints of forest rule and the onerous burden of taxation. The church and the lead-mining industry both played a central part in these two North Derbyshire communities. The scene is set with William the Conqueror’s great Domesday survey and a discussion of the differences between the two villages in terms of land areas, taxable value and administration as described for 1066 and 1086. At the time of the Norman Conquest Hope was a larger and much more important settlement than Castleton, but within 20 years of the Conquest was apparently declining in economic status whilst Castleton was growing. Hopedale within the Royal Forest of Peak was the home of Hope and Castleton villages and so Forest Law was central to the people that lived and worked there.

The environment of soil, water and air needs to be kept healthy if it is to provide the natural home for plants such as oak trees and Jacob’s ladder, animals such as lapwing and water vole, and the landscapes that people love to visit. Looking after wildlife is good for people and local business, for health and well-being, and is strongly linked to adapting to, and preparing for, the effects of climate change.
