Padley Chapel is a building in Grindleford, England, on the site of the former Padley Hall (or Padley Manor). It is a Grade I listed building.
Padley Hall
[edit | edit source]Padley Hall was a large double courtyard house where, in 1588, two Catholic priests (Nicholas Garlick and Robert Ludlam) were discovered. At the time to be a Catholic priest, ordained abroad was deemed treason; the two were tried and found guilty, two weeks later, they were hanged, drawn and quartered in Derby. They became known as the 'Padley Martyrs'.[1] The house today is mostly in ruins, and is a Scheduled Monument.[2] Garlick’s head was by tradition buried in the graveyard of Tideswell parish church, but there is no evidence of this.
Chapel
[edit | edit source]Part of Padley Hall—probably originally the central gatehouse range—survives, and in 1933 was converted to a Catholic chapel in honour of the martyrs.[3] The chapel is a Grade I listed building[1] which stands not far from the railway line, a short distance west of Grindleford railway station. A pilgrimage takes place every year in July.
