Better without the flags!

St Chad's was built by Joseph Paget after he inherited his parents' estate and consequently became a senior partner in nearby Pleasley Vale Mills. In 1876, deciding that his household and mill workers needed a church, a chapel was built overlooking the vale, on the Derbyshire side of the River Meden. The chapel was built of timber, painted white, by Cox & Sons of London. After disagreement "over the style of services conducted in the church" Joseph Paget had the church dismantled and rebuilt just over the River Meden boundary in Nottinghamshire, thus moving it from the Diocese of Lichfield to the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. The church was reconstructed in brick and stone, with a bell tower and lead roof.

​A mining memorial on Crown Farm Way island in Mansfield. It's a tribute to the town's coal mining heritage.

autumn 🍂 is here

This shared-use path in Mansfield, located along Crown Farm Way, follows the straight and flat route of a former railway line that once served local collieries. Today, it has been repurposed into a multi-use trail for both cyclists and pedestrians. The path offers a safe, traffic-free environment, making it an excellent spot for running and walking, although the noise from the nearby main road can be a factor.

What a fascinating find on my run today! I came across this locked gate hiding the grave of Charles Thompson, a local Mansfield figure from the 18th century. He was a philanthropist who, upon his return to town, made some very unusual requests for his burial, including being buried deep on Berry Hill away from the church. It's amazing to uncover these small pieces of history right on our doorstep! #MansfieldHistory #CharlesThompson #LocalHistory #RunningFinds
