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. The village has a village green with a play area, a fete/football field, village and community halls, one shop (for sale), a primary school, Anglican and Methodist churches, lots of historic buildings, two old mills and mill ponds, three pubs, garden centres and horticultural nurseries and a small industrial area. It is close to the water-mill heritage site of Lumsdale. The village's population is slightly under 1200. Tansley is recorded in the Doomsday 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]
