St Chad's Church in Pleasley Vale
Attractive church rebuilt here on the Nottinghamshire side of the county boundary in 1880 by local estate-owner Joseph Paget. This strategic relocation took the church out of the jurisdiction of the diocese of Lichfield following a family marriage dispute. The interior of the structure features unusual polished pitchpine and mahogany panelling.

Bridge over the River Meden and St. Chad's Church, Pleasley Vale
The original church was built on the Derbyshire side of the River Meden but following unfavourable comments by the vicar about the marriage of the landowner’s daughter to an older man the building was dismantled and re-erected on the Nottinghamshire side of the river. This act caused the church to be moved from one diocese to another thus removing the errant vicar.

The River Meden forms the boundary between Derbyshire (behind the viewpoint) and Nottinghamshire (ahead).
The church is a Grade II Listed Building.

The River Meden
In that part of Pleasley Vale known as Little Matlock, no doubt a reference to that part of the Derwent Valley around Matlock Bath.
