Hope, Derbyshire history
Pre-history
There is evidence of ancient human occupation of the area around Hope. Mesolithic implements were found by a footpath at Win Hill. A Bronze Age barrow called The Folly, with a diameter of 23 metres (75 ft), is located within the parish.
Roman period
Roman road, Batham Gate, and a Roman fort, Navio can be found near the hamlet of Brough-on-Noe, just east of the village. There are many remains from the site in Buxton Museum.
Saxon period
The Roman name of the fort Navio was later changed to the Old English word for fort, brough. Edward the Elder granted lands at Hope to Uhtred, son of Eadulf of Bamburgh. The Old English gives its name to the adjacent parish of Brough and Shatton.
Medieval period
Hope Motte, an earthwork on the bank of the Peakshole Water, is thought to have been constructed during the Norman period. The Domesday Book records that Hope had a church although the present parish church dates from the 14th and 15th century with modifications to the chancel dating from 1882.
18th century
From 1715 a weekly market was held along with four annual fairs, one being a hiring fair. The fair was first held in 1715, when it was held in London.
Industrial Revolution
The Pindale mine was producing more lead than the Odin Mine between 1800 and 1802. The mine’s pumping engine house is still intact.
Tin Town
Between 1902 and 1916 a “Tin Town” was built at Birchinlee for the workers (and their families) who constructed the Derwent and Howden Dams. In 2014 it was reported that one of these buildings had been salvaged and was now located at Hope where it housed a beauty parlour.
