Description and Travel
"YOULGRAVE is a village in the parish of its name, which is partly in the hundred of Wirksworth, and partly in that of High Peak; about 3 miles S. by W. from Bakewell. It contains the parish church, a good building, dedicated to All-Saints, and a place of worship each for the Wesleyan and primitive methodists. The living of Youlgrave is a discharged vicarage, in the patronage of the Duke of Devonshire: the present incumbent is the Rev. Benjamin Pidcock. The parish contained, at tine last census, 3,081 inhabitants, and the township 951 of that number."

Names, Geographical
- A village described by local historian and teacher Mr J W Shimwell as
'the most mis-spelt village', the
Youlgrave 'Websight' tells it all! We assume their own misspelling
of 'site' is a joke... Added 1 Feb 2006.
- The pronunciation of the place-name varies; in broad Derbyshire dialect it would be 'YolgrEEve'; the more polite version sounds closer to what one would expect from the spelling - 'Youl-grAve'.
