Padley Chapel, Medieval chapel in Grindleford, England
The stone chapel stands within the remains of a 14th-century manor house, featuring medieval architectural elements and preserved religious artifacts from different periods.
In 1588, Catholic priests Nicholas Garlick and Robert Ludlam were discovered at this location, leading to their arrest and subsequent execution in Derby.
The chapel holds Grade I listed building status since 1951, representing significant architectural and historical value within the religious heritage of Derbyshire.
Visitors can reach the chapel by taking a short walk from Grindleford railway station, with regular trains connecting to Sheffield and Manchester.
An altar stone, buried in the garden during the 1588 persecution to protect it from authorities, remained hidden until its rediscovery in 1934.
