- The parish of Eyam Woodlands no longer exists, but corresponded largely
to the modern village of Grindleford.
It was bounded by Bretton Clough in the west, included Hazelford and Leam
to the north, and was bounded by the River Derwent to the east. Crossing
over the river at Grindleford Bridge would have taken you into the Township of
Nether Padley,
or you could turn right taking the footpath towards Hay Wood (now National
Trust property) crossing over the Hay Wood Brook into the parish of
Froggatt.
Goatscliffe Brook was the boundary to the south, bordering the separate
parish of Stoke, which extended to
Stoney Middleton Brook. Both Stoke and Nether Padley are now also
part of Grindleford parish.

the
Will of William Marsden, 1762, which directs that his daughter Dorothy (wife of Robert
BEELEY & Jonathan TURNER) was to pay to pay Jonathan OXLEY of Leam, and
John MOOR [MOWER] of Grindleford Bridge £50 for "purchasing lands or
other securities to establish a Free School in Grindleford Bridge". MOOR and
OXLEY were to appoint the schoolmaster. Added 23 Apr 2008.
