Ashford-in-the-Water is a village in
the Derbyshire Peak District, England, and on the
River Wye. It is known for the quarrying of black
marble (a form of limestone), and for the Maiden's
Garlands made to mark the deaths of virgins in the
village until 1801. Some of these are preserved in
the parish church which itself dates back to the 13th
Century. The tradition of well-dressing continues
in Ashford as in many other villages in the Peak District.
Each year slabs of clay are decorated by village volunteers
using petals, leaves and other plants to create a
striking picture. The finished designs are then displayed
at the six wells around the village and the event
is marked by a church service and precession through
the village to bless the wells. The event takes place
around Trinity Sunday and is hugely popular with thousands
of visitors flocking to see the dressed wells. It
was mentioned as a Royal Manor in Domesday Book. The
village passed to the Cavendish Family in the 16th
century (from the Nevilles) and finally sold off in
the 1950’s to pay death duties. The village
is now bypassed by the A6 road, returning peace and
tranquillity to Ashford. The Sheepwash Bridge is exactly
as its name suggests as well as having been a packhorse
bridge when it was first built. Lambs were placed
in the pen on one side of the river and the ewes swam
across the river to get to them. The shepherds made
sure the sheep had a good dunking on the way across!
This was an easy way to clean the fleece before shearing.
Take a good look into the waters beneath the bridge
- it is possible to see a good number of large trout
swimming around.
