  • Chelmorton Festival
    Chelmorton Festival Every summer, the village holds a week of charitable fund-raising community events and the residents make a special effort to decorate their properties to accentuate the festival mood. In 2016 the Festival raised just over £2000 for the village - supporting the Church, Institute and the  Chelmorton Children's Charity.

  • Ollerenshaw's Perpetual Machine
    Ollerenshaw's Perpetual Machine Hunting perpetual motion - Chelmorton blacksmith Alexander Ollerenshaw (1753-1841) Alexander "Alick" Ollerenshaw, a blacksmith and landlord in Chelmorton spent many years trying to perfect a machine to prove the theory of perpetual motion.  In the history of the Church Inn pub (formerly the Blacksmith's Arms) in Chelmorton, Alexander Ollerenshaw is reported as the landlord between 1793 and 1827. He spent most of his life trying to perfect his perpetual motion machine. He was an eccentric man and died never having realised his dream. It is reported that the machine was dismantled and local people kept bits as a reminder of him.  It is said that his daughter-in-law and his grand-daughter have left a permanent mark by haunting the pub.  The local parish register records "An ingenious Blacksmith and Musician, and having more than 50 years vainly endeavoured to find out perpetual motion". He died on Oct 16th 1841.  Alexander built…
  • The Chelmorton Chase
    The Chelmorton Chase An annual village event is the Chelmorton Chase. A very tough championship fell race in September. There is over one thousand feet of ascent as the race covers five miles climbing high over the Low before returning down the Main Street. Buxton runner Andy Wilton holds the course record at thirty minutes thirty one seconds and villager Ian Hulse holds the locals' record. The 2004 winner was Kev Liley from Hathersage and Andy Wilton returned to win again in 2005. A double winner for the Dark Peak Running Club is Stuart Bond who took first place in 2008 and 2010. New for 2010 was the Joan Windross memorial shield presented to the first lady runner across the line. It holds the last ten years of lady running winners and is on display in the Church Inn pub. The fell race has raised funds for the Arthritis Research Council, the village…
  • Primitive Hall
    Primitive Hall Built in 1874, this former Methodist chapel is now a private residence, but is the venue of several annual village events hosted by the owners. Most notable is the Southern Ocean dinner in May. The Hall acts as host to the Buxton District Landrover Club Hollinsclough Shield scatter hunt and a summer ball is held at the hall most alternative years to help raise funds for local charity issues. A fund called Chelmorton Life was created to support activities in the village. Over the years supporting activities to the village summer festival have taken place which have incuded large firework displays and sheep roast barbecues which in past years have been provided free to everyone in the village.
  • Chelmorton's origins
    Chelmorton's origins Over the centuries the name of the village has been listed variously as Chelmorton, Chilmorton, Chelmerten and Chelmarton. Chelmorton lies about four and a half miles south of Buxton and has several claims to fame. It is not only the highest village in Derbyshire but has the highest church and pub in the county of Derbyshire. Another unique feature is the distinct field pattern around the village, created when the medieval strips were enclosed. The pattern has remained virtually unchanged. The public phone box is also unique, built of stone construction and painted green. Chelmorton was built along the banks of a little stream that was known as Illy Willy Water, it provided a constant supply of pure water for the village. It came out of the hill just above the church, ran down what became the village street and slipped away into a swallet hole. The village was built…
  • Chelmorton recorded in 1868
    Chelmorton recorded in 1868 CHELMORTON, a chapelry in the parish of Bakewell, in the hundred of High Peak, in the county of Derby, 4 miles S.W. of Tideswell, and 7 W. of Bakewell. It is situated at the foot of a high hill. The inhabitants are principally engaged in the ribbon manufacture. Extract from 1868
  • Chelmorton Troughs
    Chelmorton Troughs The plaque reads These troughs are the last remaining pair of seven, which were located down the west side of Main St. with one on the east side near Town End. The water originates from a spring at the foot of Chelmorton Low and originally ran as a stream known as Illy-Willy-Water. When the troughs  were installed, they were connected by gritstone channels to improve the flow, which ended at "Chelmorton Docks" before disappearing down a "swallet" at Town End. The villagers began modernising their water supply in the late 19th century by installing a header tank and piping the water to houses and farms. The Illy-Willy-Water now runs underground and the village supply is from Ladybower. In 2005 restoration and enhancement of this site and the village pound was undertaken as a joint venture by The Peak District National Park Authority and Chelmorton Parish Council, financed by The Sustainable…
  • Deepdale
    Deepdale Deep Dale close to Chelmorton with footpaths on to King Sterndale holds a rich package of rare plants in its steep sided limestone valley. Rare orchids can be found alongside cowslips and a huge variety of butterflies who feed on the fauna. Headed by the river Wye at Topley Pike the dale runs down with screes, rocky outcrops and steep grass banking’s. Designated an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and an SAC (Special Area of Conservation) it was acquired by the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust in April 2006. Reserve Officer Steve Price says he plans to use farm livestock to graze the site and help even more wildlife thrive.

St. John's Church

  • St. John's Church

    At 1200 feet above sea level, Chelmorton is the highest parish in the Derby Diocese and the highest church with a spire anywhere in England. It is built into the hillside at the top of the linear village of Chelmorton, with its historic listed field strip system, and this means that different parts of the church are built on different levels.

    The spire of St. John the Baptist church can be seen at the top of Main Street Chelmorton. A golden locust sits on a weather vane above the tall stone spire. Save the spire renovations have left it resplendent. Today’s bells come from the church  at Derwent, flooded to form the Ladybower reservoir in the 1950s.  A place of Christian worship existed here in the early thirteenth century, quite possibly earlier. The oldest surviving written record, however, is dated 1256 but one of the old oak beams long gone is believed to have been marked 1111.

    Throughout its existence the church has suffered from the adverse climate it endures so high above sea level. This has necessitated a number of extensive restoration programmes over the years, with major work carried out in the thirteenth, sixteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This restoration work continues today with repairs aimed at ensuring the safety of the tower and spire, with its famous locust, being completed in early 2011.The five bells can now be safely rung.

    The church has many internal features of interest, some dating back many centuries.The Lady Chapel, for example, was built in the second half of the thirteenth century as a chantry and became a lady chapel as the church expanded. It is now enhanced by the twentieth century Embroidered Panels that show some of the history of the village, plus the flora and bird life common to this part of Derbyshire The building is a Grade II* listed building

    Until 1950, Chelmorton had its own resident vicar. Its parish, which includes Flagg, is now joined to the parishes of Monyash and Taddington, so as to form a united benefice with the Vicar living at Monyash Vicarage. As the evenings drew darker in 2012 a new Vicar Rev Richard Benson was appointed. John Fountain and David Race continue to grow the busy first Sunday of the month children’s family service.

    Various activities raise funds for the church, on a regular basis coffee mornings are held at Bakewell Town Hall, to help, call Jane Palfreyman on 01298 85360. In 2005 a new house began build, Primitive Manse opposite the village institute. This house has an annual payment written into its deeds to make yearly donations directly to the church of St John the Baptist. First Sunday of the month is designated a family service which starts at ten welcoming the youngsters of the village. Vicar John Goldsmith saw numbers of the family service grow well over the last few years before his retirement. Other Sunday services begin at eleven thirty.

    Harvest Festival brings produce to the church, after a thanksgiving service produce is auctioned for charity in the local pub, the Church Inn at a village dinner usually late in September.

    A short tour of the Church

    Facing up the church towards the altar. Notice the stout octagonal piers and the beautiful chancel arch. Both these features date from the thirteenth century. Walk up the church to the chancel steps. Note the very rare stone screen separating nave from choir. It was carved in about 1345 (4 years before the black death carried off so large a section of the countries population.) The wooden screen above it was added in this century.

    Walk up the steps into the chancel and on as far as the alter rail. Notice the long kneeler with its embroider locusts, reminders of St John the Baptist. (Another locust can be found on the weather vane on top of the spire.) To your right are carved stone Piscina and Seillia (seats for the clergy) At each side of the sedilia is a stone head, one male and one female. The East window was installed in 1880

    It seems likely that the marble for the Memorial Tablets on the chancel walls may have come from the next parish, the Ashford Sheldon area, where marble was quarried and worked from 1748 until 1905.

    Down the chancel steps turn left to the Lady Chapel, built in 1256 as a chantry.   Within the Lady Chapel are the Chelmorton embroider panels representing life through the ages, from prehistoric times to present day farming.

    Return now to the chancel steps and turn to walk down the nave of the church. Notice how the pillars on your right are different in level from those on your left. Also that the arches on your right are pointed but on your left are round headed. The lower windows are from the later end of the thirteenth century, but the more elaborate upper ones were put in two centuries later when the height of the walls was increased. On the right the North doorway is blocked.

    The font has contemporary old English lettering on each side of its eight faces possibly spelling out the Greek 'seb semno' ( Reverence the revered One.)

    The tower is home to five bells. The treble and tenor bells were re-cast in 1960 to incorporate metal from the bells of Derwent Church, the ruins of which now lie drowned under Derwent Reservoir.

    Trace your steps through the Tudor entrance doorway to the newest part of the Church's structure - the Elizabethan porch. Notice the holy water stoup and, incorporated in the walls, the Norman dripstone which its chevron pattern, and the gravecovers: a sword for a soldier, shears for a wool-stapler, etc.

Chelmorton Institute

  • Chelmorton Institute

    Chelmorton is a small village with a surprisingly large hall.

    Financed by public subscription and officially called the War Memorial Institute, Chelmorton’s village hall was opened in 1922 as a memorial to those of the parish who served in The Great War and whose names are recorded on a handsome marble memorial. A further plaque displaying the names of those who served in the Second World War was added in 2012.

    To book the hall please contact Ann Mayo on 01298 85344

    The hall was used for many years as a men’s social club, the meeting place for The Women’s Institute, Parish Council, The Friendship Club (the village over sixties club) and the canteen for the local school. Occasional social events were also held.

    It is currently used by a Whist Drive Group which welcomes new members, the local Film Club, the start and finish post for a yearly cycle race and every year a huge event is held raising funds for the Macmillan Cancer Support Coffee Morning. Dances and quizzes are held several times a year as fund raising events and the hall is used for adults and children’s birthday parties and has hosted keep-fit, meditation and dance teaching classes. The Parish Council holds its meetings in the hall and local and national elections are also held there. A small group of talented ladies, all with Level 2 Hygiene Certification, cater for coach parties for lunch and afternoon tea. Bookings are always welcome.

    Since the hall’s renovation in 2002 several wedding receptions have been held using the ground floor for dining and the upstairs for entertainment. The Institute is an independent body administered by the Charities Commission and does not hold allegiance to any church or religion and will consider receptions for weddings whether civil or religious.

    As well as the above mentioned activities the committee would be interested in hiring the hall for art, photographic or any other display exhibitions, drama or indoor sport such as short mat bowling or table tennis (we have two full size tables available). Please contact the number below and we will consider your requirements.

    The building consists of two floors each with an overall size of approximately 8.0 X 13.0 metres. The upstairs floor has a stage approximately 2.5 X 5.0 metres making it suitable for entertainment events. Fire regulations stipulate a total of 250 persons over the two floors. A small but well equipped kitchen is available downstairs. Double entrance doors and an easy access toilet have been fitted to cater for those with mobility problems.

Chelmorton Bell Ringers

  • Chelmorton Bell Ringers

    Chelmorton Bell Ringers (also known as Chelly Church Chimers)

    Chelmorton Parish church has a ring of five bells which are rung for festival services, weddings and funerals etc. The ringers practice most weeks on Thursday or Friday evenings 7.30 – 9.00 pm so that people can find a convenient time for them and you are welcome to join the group whether you are an experienced ringer or a total novice. If you have thought about learning bell ringing but are a bit nervous don’t be. We are a friendly group and encourage new people to join us. Do not worry that you need to be musical, as the ability to count to five and recognise patterns is of more use. Unfortunately, due to the weight of the bells we cannot accept any child under the age of eleven as a learner.

    For more information contact the tower captain Debbie Race on 01298 85460 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

     

    Chelmorton Bells

    The five bells are of various ages with four originating in the seventeenth century. The inscriptions are

    1. (Treble and newest bell) “I WAS RECAST BY TAYLORS OF LOUGHBOROUGH IN 1960 FROM A BELL OF DERWENT GIVEN BY COL. J.C. CAVENDISH 1901 – MARTIN PEIRCE VICAR THOMAS JAMES MOSLEY ISAAC GRINDEY CHURCHWARDENS 1960”
    2. “IHESUS BE OVR SPEED 1621”
    3. “GOD…SAVE…HIS…CHVRCH…1681”
    4. “+GOD SAVE THE CHURC 1621” (sic)
    5. (Tenor and oldest bell) “I sweetly toling men do call to taste on meats that feed the soole 1607”

    The treble bell thus provides a link with Ladybower reservoir, having come from a church in the Derwent valley, before the area was drowned to provide water resources for Sheffield, Derby and surrounding areas.

Chelly Film Circle

  • Now in its sixth successful year, CHELLY FILM CIRCLE brings regular film screenings to Chelmorton village. The volunteer run group shows films at the Chelmorton Institute on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.  The season of film runs from September to June.

    CHELLY FILM CIRCLE focuses on new film releases with the odd classic thrown in.  It is pleasing that so many people enjoy the range and variety of films that we screen and that villagers who would otherwise struggle to reach a cinema can join us.

Postcode easy on the sat nav, good access and very level, wide open views make for magic sunset, electric hook up great and water taps easy to access.

Ivan & MargaretLancs & Cheshire DA

A great hideaway site, fantastic views, level, good TV signal, pub an easy walk, close to Buxton Spa Water, heart of the Peak District, we loved our long weekend. Nov 2015

Lynda & PeterPlymouth

What a lovely time we had in your brand new caravan site. The views wonderful in all directions. The location is so quiet and peaceful yet having the best of both worlds - rural and village, with quick access to main roads and only 3 miles to Buxton. The Church Inn (5 minutes walk away) does delicious hearty food with freshly prepared tasty vegetables.

The Church Inn

  • The Church Inn

    Refreshing locals and travellers alike since 1742 The Church Inn at Chelmorton stands opposite the village church and is as quintessentially English as a roaring fire on a snowy day or a meadow of buttercups on a summer’s day.
    Without a doubt, in these hurly burly days of the 21st century, it’s so refreshing to find this tiny, unspoilt corner of an old England that’s fast disappearing......

    Opening Times:
    Mon - Thur: 12noon - 3.00 and 6.00 - 11.00
    Fri - Sun: 12noon - 11.00pm
