Stoney Middleton Places Overview: History, Culture & Facts about Stoney Middleton

Stoney Middleton history

---

The village has been thought to be a Roman settlement, perhaps based on lead mining. A 19th-century bath house over a hot spring is known locally as The Roman Baths. A semi-circular earth platform called “Castle Hill” overlooks the village.

Domesday Book

Stoney Middleton is mentioned in 1086 in the Domesday Book. The manor is first recorded as being where the King had land.

Change in location

The original location of the village, which was ravaged by the Black Death, may have been immediately to the south of the Old Hall, on a series of terraces.

Modern history

A road was blasted through Middleton Dale in 1830, and an octagonal toll house was built in 1840. Atop a cliff above the village lies Lovers Leap, from which Hannah Baddeley is said to have jumped in 1762, but miraculously survived. In January 2007 some houses in the village were damaged by a wall of mud caused by the failure of a dam near the top of the dale.

Industry

In the dale were several quarries, once a major source of employment for the village. Footwear became a major industry, with one specialist industrial boot factory surviving to the present day. Lead mining also continued, with a Barmote Court alternating between Stoney Middleton and Eyam until the early 20th century.
