Woodthorpe is approximately 2 miles North West of Staveley town. It is a quiet picturesque location, and home to the Church of St Peter, built in 1849, over an existing building. A chapel has been on the site since 1632 with it’s bell dated only four years later at 1636
It’s patron was the Duke of Devonshire, built in an early English gothic revival style initially as a Chapel of Ease for £1700. The building is now a private dwelling and can be seen from the roadside.
St Peter's Church is just one of the buildings of historical importance in the Staveley area and it's surrounding settlements, many date back to the 1600s and beyond.
If you are planning a visit to Woodthorpe and the local area why not take a leisurely walk on one of the many footpaths, perhaps a day out rambling or a walk along our canal network towpaths. Other local places to visit are:
Staveley Hall
Barrow Hill Roundhouse Museum
St John the Baptist Church, Staveley
Staveley Market
Hollingwood Hub ( Chesterfield Canal Trust)
Our local area has many activities and events, run by local organisations and charities with often volunteers giving time to inspire others through enjoyment and a great day out.
Staveley Town Council would love to hear from such organisations who have projects and ideas for events or activity days which would give a positive benefit to others in the community.
This may be in the form of a fair for example, or a community competition or similarly a local project to improve the amenities for all.
If you have such an idea, why not share it with us, or apply for community funding to enable your idea to come to fruition. in the first instance and to find out how we can help, please contact the Town Clerk on: 01246 473132 or email info@staveleytowncouncil.gov.uk
