Stoney MiddletonStoney Middleton is well named, having many houses clinging to the steep limestone cliffs of a rocky dale on the edge of the Derbyshire Peak District. Most people pass through Stoney Middleton on the busy main road through the village, but here are some interesting little nooks and crannies in the narrow side lanes.Situated in the beautiful Middleton Dale, four miles north of Bakewell, Stoney Middleton lies on the ancient highway between Chesterfield and Brough and was mentioned in the Domesday Book as Middletune. There was an old Roman settlement in Stoney Middleton, and the site of the Roman baths, fed by a thermal spring lies behind the Hall. The Baths have now been restored. There is an unusual octagonal church built on the site of a smaller one, erected by Joan Padley in thanksgiving for the safe return of her husband from the Battle of Agincourt in the 15th century. The new church was built in 1759 and contains a unique lantern tower. There were further additions to the church in the 19th century. It was once an important centre for lead mining and mineral extraction is still much in evidence nearby.
