Tansley's war memorials in Holy Trinity Church (Click photos to enlarge them)

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them."

[4th verse of the poem "For The Fallen" by Robert Laurence Binyon].

"When you go home, tell them of us and say
For their tomorrow, we gave our today."

[John Maxwell Edmonds - Epitaph in the War Cemetery in Kohima which commemorates the fallen of the Battle of Kohima in April 1944.]

Tansley is in Derbyshire , 1.5 miles east of Matlock, in the south-east of the Peak District,
just outside the Peak District National Park in the centre of England.

Tansley is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Tanslege. Tan means a branch of a valley. Lega/leah means a wood/glade. So Tansley is the wooded glade in the branch of a valley. [ack. Denys Gaskell]

The village has a village green with a play area, a fete/football field, a primary school, a Village Hall and a Community Hall, Anglican and Methodist churches, lots of historic buildings, two old cotton manufacturing mills and mill ponds, two pubs (The Gate Inn and The Tavern), two garden centres nearby and a small, very useful, industrial sales and service area. It is adjacent to the water-mill heritage site of Lumsdale. The village's population was 1,179 at the last national census (2021). With around 100 additional homes built since then the population is likely to be around 1,500 by the end of 2024. Tansley is served by two 2-hourly bus services (see timetable links under the Local amenities tab above) - the 143 (stopping at The Tavern and Tansley Village Green) linking it to Matlock to the west and east to Wessington, Alfreton, Westhouses, Blackwell and the East Midlands Designer Outlet, and the 141 linking Tansley (stopping only at The Tavern) with Matlock to the west and east/south to Lea, Holloway, Lea Bridge, Crich, Bullbridge, Heage and Ripley.

Nearby Matlock has good bus links to places throughout the Peak District, including Ashbourne, Ashford-in-the-Water, Ashover, Bakewell, Baslow, Birchover (for Stanton Moor), Bonsall, Buxton, Carsington Water, Chatsworth, Crich, Cromford, Elton, Haddon Hall, Holloway, Lea (for Lea Gardens), Rowsley, Youlgrave, Wensley, Winster and Wirksworth and to the cities of Derby, Chesterfield, Sheffield and, via connection at Buxton, to Stockport and Manchester. It also has a regular train service to Derby and a four mile heritage steam railway.
