Wormhill

Wormhill is a village and civil parish in the High Peak district of Derbyshire, England, situated east by north of Buxton.

[1] Wormhill was mentioned in the Domesday book as belonging to Henry de Ferrers[2] and containing 20 acres (81,000 m2) of meadow.

A footpath south of the village leads to the nearby River Wye in Chee Dale.

[7] It has memorials to James Brindley, pioneer builder of Britain's canals, who was born in 1716 in the hamlet of Tunstead within Wormhill parish.

At the north end of the village lies the hamlet of Hargate (now part of Wormhill), where the industrialist Robert Whitehead and notorious mill owner Ellis Needham once lived.
