Warslow

Warslow is a small village in Staffordshire, England. It is located in the Peak District National Park about north of Ashbourne. Although in the county of Staffordshire, the village lies close to the Derbyshire border, and has a Stockport postal code (SK), but the address is Warslow, Buxton, Derbyshire.EducationThe village once had two schools, but due to the lack of children from the village itself and the surrounding villages only one of the schools is still used, the other has been turned into a house. Manifold Primary School (the school which is still in use) caters mainly for children between the ages of 4 to 9, however they do have run nursery which caters to pre-school children. On occasion the school will allow for a group of children to stay at the school an extra two years as opposed to going straight to a secondary school (the two main schools which the pupils will attend after leaving are Churnet View Middle School and Saint Edwards Middle School, both located in Leek).ReligionThe village has two chapels and one church. The church, St Lawrence, has an unusually wide chancel and windows by William Morris. Of the two chapels one has been converted into a house and the other is in the process of being converted.SpringsThere are numerous fresh water springs located within the village and at one time this water was bottled and sold. The water can still be drunk or obtained freely from these sources.BuildingsThe village has a single public house, The Greyhound and Hare, which dates back to around 1750. The Greyhound and Hare is located roughly in the centre of the village across the road from the fully converted chapel. There is a village hall. Both the village post office and shop are now closed.
