Pleasley - Verney Institute
Frederick Verney and his wife Maude built a reading room in Pleasley on Newboundmill Lane. This was originally called the Pleasley Public Library and Parish Room, but was later to be known as the Verney Institute. It was built in 1906, in the Art & Crafts style. When Frederick died in 1914 his wife Maude donated the roof clock. For more information on the Verney (and Florence Nightingale) association with Pleasley, please see http://www.pleasleyparishcouncil.org.uk/page16.html .

Verney Institute, Pleasley - front view
Built as the village hall in 1905-6 to the design of Parker and Unwin of Buxton. Parker and Unwin were enthusiastic proponents of the Arts and Crafts Movement, their book 'The Art of Building a Home' of 1901 being the inspiration for thousands of homes built in the early part of the 20th century. They were involved in the creation of Letchworth Garden City, to where they moved from their original Buxton office. The Institute is a largely unspoilt example of this style of architecture and is Listed Grade II.

Pleasley Cross
The remains of a 14th century cross at the junction of Chesterfield Road and Newboundmill Lane. This would originally have been the centre of Pleasley, but with the development of Pleasleyhill on the other side of the River Meden during the late 19th century, the centre of gravity of the community shifted.
