Padley brook in full flow coloured with peat from the hills 

Padley church ,lovely little church year 1588 was a dark year for the church

In the July 12th 1588 Padley Manor was raided ,it was the residence of  the Recusant Fitzherbert family , Two traveling priest -Nicholas Farlick and Robert Ludlam were staying overnight , the priest and every one in the hall was arrested ,Farlick and Ludlam along with another priest Richard Simpson where executed in Derby with in a fortnight ,

The altar stone was buried after a earlier raid in 1588, it was found and restored  in 1934 to its rightful place in the chapel
