BASLOW is a large and somewhat picturesque village; it lies on the
high road from Bakewell to Chesterfield, Sheffield, &c., and the river
Derwent runs through one part of it. The churchyard is skirted by the
river, and near it is a fine old bridge spanning the stream. The church
is a singular, but very picturesque old building, with a low tower and
broad spire at its north-west corner, and it possesses many features
worthy of careful examination. At Baslow are some very good inns, the
principal of which are the “Peacock” and the “Wheatsheaf.”
BEELEY, which the visitor will pass through on his way to Chatsworth
from the Rowsley Station, is a pretty little village, with a
quaint-looking old church, an elegant Gothic parsonage-house, and many
very pretty residences. Beeley Bridge, with the public lodge near it,
we have shown in one of our engravings, from a photograph by Green.
Of other places in the neighbourhood, some of which we have already
touched upon in our account of Haddon Hall, space will not permit us to
describe.
We take leave of “princely Chatsworth.” It is a place worthy of all
that can be said in its praise; and to its noble owner—one of the
kindliest, most enlightened, and liberal men of the age—we tender, not
only our own, but public thanks for the generous manner in which he
throws its beauties and its treasures open to the people.
