Alderwasley (/ˌælərzˈliː/ AL-ərz-LEE)[1] is a village and civil parish in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, England.

His son Anthony Lowe, as gentleman of the bedchamber for Henry VIII, was made a hereditary forester of Duffield Frith in 1523, and awarded the Manor of Alderwasley, with Ashleyhay, in 1528.

In 1670 the whole estate passed, again by marriage, to Nicholas Hurt of Casterne in Staffordshire, a direct descendant of William Foun, and in 1715 he formed a new park.

In 1905 this contained a herd of eighty fallow deer and what was considered to be the finest timber, especially oak, to be found.

[5] Further clippings were uncovered by three brothers in their garden in the village, as recorded on a BBC Blue Peter programme in 1971.
