|  | |  | | - Buxworth is a small village sitting between the towns of New Mills, Hayfield and Chapel-en-le-Frith.
- The village name has had a chequered history, starting off as Buggesworth in 1222, the double ‘g ‘ and an ‘e’ continued to be used on either side of 1600, but gradually a combined ‘ge‘ was slowly being dropped, so that from 1625 onwards, Bugsworth was in common usage.
- Since 1874 there has been five attempts to change the village name, two half – hearted and three serious, the most recent being in 1999.
