“Know, posterity, that on the 8th of April, in the year of grace 1757, the rambling remains of the above-said John Dale were, in the 86th yeare of his pilgrimage, laid upon his two wives. “This thing in life might raise some jealousy, Here all three lie together lovingly, But from embraces here no pleasure flows, Alike are here all human joys and woes; Here Sarah’s chiding John no longer hears, And old John’s rambling Sarah no more fears; A period’s come to all their toilsome lives, The good man’s quiet; still are both his wives.” Another reads as follows:— “These lines I with watery eye For my dear friend indite, Who for his worth, none such on earth, Heaven crown him with true light. “A lawyer just, a steward most just, As ever sate in court, Who lived beloved, with tears interred, This is his true report.” Another, locally said to have been written by Charles Wesley, brother to the founder of Methodism, reads as follows:— “Beneath, a sleeping infant lies, To earth whose body lent, More glorious shall hereafter rise, Though not more innocent; When the Archangel’s trump shall blow, And souls to bodies join, Thousands shall wish their lives below Had been as short as thine.” It may be as well to note that the principal inn at Bakewell is the Rutland Arms: it is a family hotel, but there are other comfortable inns in the place. Opposite the Rutland Arms are the baths and bath-gardens: the baths, which were known to the Romans, have the reputation of being efficacious in rheumatism. Having already very briefly alluded to the routes by which Haddon Hall may be visited both from Buxton on the one hand, and from Derby on the other, and having then spoken of some of the attractions of Buxton, it may be well now to say a few words regarding Matlock Bath, through which the visitor will pass by rail on his journey from London, from Derby, or from the North. MATLOCK BATH is about seven miles from Haddon Hall; and, exclusive of its baths, which are as famous as those of Buxton, and for the benefit of which the invalid may pass the season pleasantly and profitably, it has attractions of scenery which no other inland watering-place can boast. Its “High Tor” rising almost perpendicularly to a height of about 400 feet above the river Derwent, which flows at its base; its “Lovers’ Walks,” winding along by the side of the river, and zig-zagging up the mountain side; its “Heights of Abraham” and “Masson” towering over the valley: its “romantic rocks,” and its many caverns; its petrifying wells, its “grottoes,” and its other attractions, render Matlock Bath a place of delight to the tourist; while the surrounding district, rich in minerals, in ferns, and in other botanical specimens, and full of gorgeous scenery, is “passing beautiful,” and will amply repay the pleasant labour of exploring.
