The beautiful limestone Parwich War Memorial in Parwich churchyard has been cleaned and restored. It was originally erected in 1919, paid for by public subscriptions, and dedicated by the Bishop of Southwell. Now under the auspices of your Parish Council, a cleaning and restoration has taken place by Jack Sills of IMI, Nottingham.
The national War Memorials Trust contributed to half of the cost, with the rest of the funds coming through generous donations from the Royal British Legion, the Oddfellows, Parwich church, the village United Charities, and Longcliffe Quarries.
For the first Parwich History Society talk this year, we’re pleased to welcome Gay Evans who will be talking about Murder in 19th Century Derbyshire and featuring the “Parwich Poisoner”.
Gay has researched her ancestors who were in the village from 1690 through to the mid 1800s.
The talk will be held in the British Legion on Tuesday 28th April from 7.30pm. Everyone is welcome.
History Society meetings are held on the last Tuesday of each month in the British Legion.
The school are on the look out for some new games/puzzles suitable for 4-11 year olds to use for indoor play and at after school clubs. Anything that you no longer use but is in good condition, doesn’t take long to set up or play would be greatly appreciated. You could either drop them off at school or I can pick them up, just drop me an email lucywigley@googlemail.com. Thanks Lucy M
A great turnout of 24 villagers took part in April’s match and it was a close finish for the top spots with 3 people in Joint 7th place and 3 people in Joint 8th place!
Based on a true story by the naturalist, Helen McDonald, the film explores how when Helen’s father passes away, she is knocked sideways by grief and loses herself in memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together. She becomes obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk, and so she brings the fearsome bird Mabel home to her life as an academic at Cambridge University.
Helen fills the freezer with hawk food and turns off her phone, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to train this wildest of animals. But as she labours to tame Mabel, a grieving Helen undergoes an untaming of her own. A record of a spiritual journey, H IS FOR HAWK is a story about memory and nature and how it might be possible to reconcile death with life and love. Starring Claire Foy and Brendan Gleeson.
Thanks to Lauren W for this message this morning –
Just to make you aware, sheep are out again on the road out of Parwich, near Ballidon turn off. This was at 0715 this morning, so they’re bound to escape further over the course of the day. They’re very near the blocker that was put in the hedge if that helps.
The National Grid will be temporarily closing Mouldridge Lane to the north of Minninglow Car Park that serves the High Peak Trail from Monday 27 April to Friday 8 May.
Minninglow Car Park will remain OPEN, but will only be accessible from Parwich Lane during the closure.

Designated a scheduled ancient monument because of its historic importance, the Lumsdale Valley was once a bustling centre of industry, with a collection of mills all powered by water from Bentley Brook. The brook rises on Matlock Moor and has never been known to dry up and supplies Lumsdale falls with unending water supply. The ruins of six of the mills in the Lumsdale Valley remain, all in various states of disrepair. The last private owner of the site refused to sell the buildings, despite lucrative offers for the stone, preferring to keep them in their ruinous state as a testament to their heritage and as a habitat for wildlife.
