Wardlow is a parish and linear village in the Derbyshire Dales two miles from Tideswell, Derbyshire, England. The small village contains the church of the Good Shepherd, and within the settlement is the small hamlet of Wardlow Mires which contains a notable pub. Both Wardlow and Wardlow Mires were historically (1857) in two parishes.〔(Genuki ) accessed 14 May 2008〕 ==History== In 1755, two stone coffins were found when a cairn was excavated,〔(National Gazetteer ) 1868, accessed 13 May 2008〕 and surrounding these were seventeen other remains which spread out in a radial way,〔 although another source says there were seventeen coffins, and gives the date that they were found during the construction of a turnpike road as 1759.〔 ''Black Harry'' was a highwayman on the turnpike roads who troubled travellers on the moors around Wardlow and Longstone. In Stoney Middleton his name lives on in place names like ''Black Harry Gate'' and ''Black Harry House'', but it was at Gibbot Field near Wardlow that he met his end〔 when he was hanged, drawn and quartered after being arrested by the Castleton Bow Street Runners.〔(BBC Inside Out ) accessed 13 May 2008〕 In 1815, on Gibbot field, near Wardlow the last man to be gibbeted in Derbyshire〔(The Last Gibbet ) accessed 19 May 2008〕 was displayed. The tollkeeper, Hannah Oliver, had been strangled, and the vital clue was her missing red shoes. The local cobbler, Mr Marsden of Stoney Middleton, confirmed that shoes found at the house of 21-year-old ''Antony Lingard'' had been made for Hannah. This was the key evidence〔(at Peak Experience ) accessed 13 May 2008〕 that led his to being hung in chains near the village.〔(History, gazetteer and directory of Derbyshire, with the town of Burton-upon ) Samuel Bagshaw, p.445, 1846 accessed 13 May 2008〕 Lingard's body was displayed on April Fools' Day 1815, and remained there for some months. A poem by William Newton, which imagined the anguish of the murderer's father having to gaze on this sight, was given much of the credit〔(Peakland Heritage ) accessed 28 February 2008〕 for the abolition of gibbeting in 1834. A school was built in 1833, and was expanded in 1872 to serve 45 children.〔 The school building still boasts a bell tower, and is used today as a village hall and Sunday school.〔 In 1871 the census revealed the complexities of having a village in two parishes. The census returns show how the small number of inhabitants had to be divided into two different lists.〔(Census listing ) accessed 14 May 2008〕 The church of the Good Shepherd was built in 1873 to seat one hundred people, and consists of a chancel, a nave, and a turret between the chancel and nave.〔(Kelly's Directory of the Counties of Derby, Notts, Leicester and Rutland ) May, 1891, p.323 accessed 28 February 2008〕 It was not until 1937 that piped water came to Wardlow, so it is fitting that the village still celebrates with a well dressing each September.〔(about Derbyshire.co.uk ) accessed 14 May 2008〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wardlow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
