LOCATION

A more peaceful and pleasant spot than Dale Abbey is hard to find in the whole of Derbyshire. Yet it is less than 3 miles away from Derby City Centre.

The story of Dale Abbey, or Depedale as it was originally known, begins when a Derby baker had a dream that the Virgin Mary appeared and told him to go to Depedale, to live a life of solitude and prayer. At that time it was a wild and marshy place and the hermit carved out a home and chapel in sandstone cliff.

Here he continued to worship in solitude until one day the smoke from his fire was seen by a knight, the owner of the land. Intending to drive the intruder away, he rode over, but on hearing the hermit’s story he was filled with compassion, allowing him to remain and bestowing on him the money from the Borrowash Mill. This enabled the hermit to build a small Chapel and home on the site of the present church.

After the hermits death, word spread of the religious significance of the place following several attempts, Dale Abbey was founded in about 1200 by an order known as the White Canons because of the colour of their habits. The abbey remained until 1538, when it was dissolved and the greater part demolished by the command of Henry VIII.
