My husband and I visited Youlgrave earlier this year as i am researching my family history and my 3 x g. grandma and grandad were married in this church. Her name was Martha Staley and his name was Joseph Goodall and they married in 1846. It is a beautiful church and village, and we hope to visit again. As we walked into the church there was an old lady doing some cleaning there, and we told her of our quest. She was most helpful as she had lived there all of her life, and she told us of a Francis Staley who had left some land to the church when he died. Also the graveyard was full of Staleys, probably all related. The old lady lived just accross from the church, and invited us into her home for a cup of coffee!

Beautiful Memories

Dear people of Youlgreave,
In the summer of 1970 we visited Youlgreave. We were there on a holiday and we had a magnificent time up there. We stayed at the house of grandma and dad from my friend Chris Sol, who was born in Youlgreave. His sister Cathrin and her friend were also there.
The name of the grandparents was Oldfield. I am still living in Holland, I am married and we have three children. We live in a place called Hoofddorp, that's about 15 miles from Amsterdam.
It was my first holiday and I will never forget it. Within a few years we will visit Youlgreave again, but then as a granddad and ma. We have three grandchildren
Hope to see you in 2007 or 2008.
P.S. There was a girl in 1970, which I met. Her name was Patricia Smith. How is she doing at the moment. I hope she is still alive.
Kindly regards,
Arend Hoegen
