Geography and history
Bolsterstone is less than 1 km south of the town of Stocksbridge within the civil parish of Stocksbridge,[2] and the electoral ward of Stocksbridge and Upper Don.[3] The village is at a height of around Шаблон:Convert above sea level on the northern side of the east–west Ewden valley, north of Broomhead and More Hall reservoirs.[2]
The origin of the name "Bolsterstone" is unknown; it may a corruption of the root word "Walder" (also used in local place names, including a barrow[4]), or may refer to two large stones in the village, which are referred to as the "Bolster Stones". The village is thought to have been established in the Anglo-Saxon period.[5] St Mary's Church was founded in 1412, and a fortified manor house ("Bolsterstone Castle") is thought to have been built by an Earl of Shrewsbury.[6] Two buildings dating from the 16th or 17th century are thought to be remnants of the castle: Castle Cottages are mostly 19th-century with parts of walls dating from the earlier period;[7] Porters Lodge, also mostly 19th-century, is thought to contain elements of the castle gatehouse.[8]
A Free School was built in the village in 1686 (rebuilt 1780). Land around the village was enclosed after 1778, and St. Mary's church was rebuilt in the 1790s.[9] In 1802 the entire manor of Bolsterstone, over Шаблон:Convert was put up for sale, and acquired by James Rimington.[10][11]
The Castle Inn was built in 1840;[12] Bolsterstone National School in 1851/2 and the Free School rebuilt in 1857;[13][14] and a vicarage built in 1862; between 1872 and 1879 St Mary's church was again rebuilt.[13]
As of 2009 the village functions as a residential village; the village has no shops, and both schools have closed; the National School building is used as a village hall.[15]
The Peak District Boundary Walk runs through the village.[16]
