Parish Statement (draft)

The village of Warslow lies approximately 7 miles northeast of Leek and 10 miles southwest of Bakewell. Its Conservation Area was designated in 1997. Photo needed here The Conservation Area Appraisal describes the village as being agricultural in origin with remnants of medieval trackways, lynchets, ridge and furrow fields existing today. Post medieval times, the village became an estate village to Calke Abbey (South Derbyshire) which owned the surrounding moorland as shooting grounds. The village grew after WWII and now has a large primary school to the northwest which serves the village and the surrounding area. Warslow is located within the upland pastures are of the South West Peak as described within the Peak District Landscape Characteristic Assessment (LSAP 2009).

Elkstones comprises of Upper Elkstone and Lower Elkstone. Upper Elkstone is the larger settlement of the two, now a largely residential settlement, it was a farming community which due to its geographical position was a focal point for the area with church, pub and school. Only the church remains. Upper Elkstone Conservation Area was designated in 1997. Lower Elkstone consists of a couple of farms. Warslow & Elkstones Parish Statement (draft)
