| FAIRFIELD is a township, parish and village,
1 mile east-north-east from Buxton, in the High Peak division of the
county, hundred of High Peak, Buxton petty sessional division and
Union and county court district of Chapel-en- le-Frith, rural deanery
of Buxton, archdeaconry of Derby and diocese of Southwell. The river
Wye divides this township and parish from the township of Buxton.
A Local Board of nine members was formed in 1858. The church of St.
Peter, built in 1839 on the site of a Late Perpendicular edifice,
erected during the Tudor period, is a plain modern edifice of stone,
rectangular in plan and has an embattled western tower with pinnacles
containing 6 bells: there is a mural tablet to William Dakin, a merchant
of London (1848) with the singular motto of that family, "Strike,
Dakin, strike ; the Devil's in the Hemp," and a memorial window
to Benjamin Badger and his children: there are 300 sittings. The register
dates from the year 1738. The living is a vicarage, gross yearly value
£200, including 53 acres of
glebe, with residence, in the gift of trustees, and held since 1887
by the Rev. Joseph Eayrs of St. Bees. The Wesleyan chapel, built in
1887, at a cost of £2,000, is an edifice in the Early English
style, from designs by Mr. Wills, of Derby, and will seat 200. Rowland
Swan's charity of £4 yearly is given in books to the poor: the
Rev. Francis Gisborne's charity of £6 10s. in warm clothing;
William Vernon's charity of £4 10s. and the interest of £100
left by Sarah Longden, are both distributed yearly in money. St. John's
church, Buxton, Wye house, Corbar house, the railway stations, the
chalybeate spa and the Palace and George hotels are in Fairfield,
but in the Buxton Local Board district. The Duke of Devonshire K.G.
is lord of the manor and principal landowner. The soil is a sandy
loam; subsoil, limestone. The land is chiefly used for grazing purposes.
The area is 3,975 acres ; rateable value, £29,802 ; the population
in 1881 was 2,817 in the township, and 1,464 in the Local Board district
of Fairfield : the remaining number are in Buxton Local Board district
; names of persons in that district are given with those of Buxton. Parish Clerk, George Fanshawe. RECEIVING OFFICE, M. O. 0., S.
