Pursgloves of Tideswell - [TIDE]


Tideswell is situated in Millers Dale within the Peak District National Park.  It is a fine town, just south of the A624 between Chesterfield and Manchester.

Some of the earliest documented evidence of Pursgloves come from this town, with its most famous son being Robert Pursglove, who was bishop of Guisborough and later Bishop of Hull.

The surrounding settlements are to the north; Little Hucklow and Great Hucklow, to the east; Litton, Foolow, Grindon and Wardlow, to the south; Cressbrook, Millers Dale and Wormhill, and to the West; Wheston, Tunstead and Peak Forest.
