HISTORY

William Pole Thornhill, a representative of the constituency of North Derbyshire, is responsible for the construction of most of the structures in town during the 19th century. He and his wife were benefactors of the village, and part of what they had built includes the parish church, the reading rooms and The Stand.

ATTRACTIONS

There are lots of interesting sights to see in Stanton and Peak, and here's a look at them:

Stanton Hall – home of the Davie-Thornhill family. This Grade II listed property is privately owned.

Stanton Moor – believed to be used by the Druids as a ceremonial worship site as evidenced by the presence of stone circles. It is situated over 1000 feet above sea level and overlooks the village. Other prehistoric monuments found here include The Nine Ladies (named as such after the legend telling of nine ladies who used to dance in this area on Sabbath Day but were turned into stone as punishment) and Doll Tor.

Parish Church of Holy Trinity – originally built by the Thornhill's as a private church in 1839, it became the parish church later on.

Holly House – one of the most unusual houses in the village. It is a three-storey structure that has eight of its 14 windows blocked. It is believed that the windows were blocked to avoid the window tax of 1697.

The Reading Room – this is now the village wall. This was originally called “The Belvedere” and it offers panoramic views of the Wye Valley.
