Padley Hall, Medieval manor ruins in Grindleford, England
The remnants of Padley Hall include stone foundation walls situated on a hillside overlooking the River Derwent in the Peak District region of Derbyshire.
Originally granted by William the Conqueror to the De Bernac family, the manor passed to the Padley family who constructed the hall in the 14th century.
The hall gained significance when two Catholic priests, Nicholas Garlick and Robert Ludlum, were discovered hiding there during religious persecutions in 1588.
Visitors can access the ruins through marked pathways from Grindleford station, with the site open throughout the year for historical exploration.
The remaining walls of Padley Hall were partially repurposed to construct two barns, while its gatehouse became a Catholic chapel commemorating the Padley Martyrs.
