Dove Holes, Derbyshire is in High Peak, Derbyshire.
1881. Census. Dove Holes, Derbyshire [Map].
Joseph Fletcher (age 51). 51. Limestone Quarry Man.
Sarah Yates (age 45). Wife. 45.
John Fletcher (age 19). Son. 19. Limestone Getter.
On 31st December 1883 John Fletcher (age 21) and Emma Stafford were married at St Thomas Becket's Church, Chapel en le Frith [Map]. He was resident at Dove Holes, Derbyshire [Map], she at Wormhill, Derbyshire [Map].
After Townend [Map] The Street, Derbyshire continues past Lower Eaves [Map], Windy Walls Farm [Map], Sittinglow [Map], Martinside Cross [Map] and more or less through Dove Holes Railway Station [Map] where it makes a slight change in direction. Thereafter it intersects with another Roman Road from Batham Gate before reaching Brooke House Farm [Map] and continuing past St Peter's Church, Buxton [Map] aka Aquae Arnemetiae aka Baths of the Grove Goddess.
In Buxton the route is unknown other than the discovery in Jun 1862 of a milstone at a property called Silverlands [Map] in Buxton: 'In June 1862, there was found in a garden, in the occupation of Mr. Matthew Lees, near the Silverlands in Higher Buxton, the lower part of an inscribed Roman milestone.' The milestone appears to mark twelve miles from the station Navio.1
In 1913 the son of Matthew Lees returned to Buxton from Canada and stated that he was the actual discoverer of the milestone and that he found it while digging deep in his father's garden near an old lane in 1856, not 1862. The stone was lying flat, some 18ins below the surface and the exact spot so far as he could tell was just inside the gateway leading to the Upper Buxton Railway Station. It is suggested that it was found close to its original position and must therefore indicate the line of the Roman road between Buxton and Brough.2
The milestone is now in Buxton Museum.

Bull Ring Barrow is also in Peak District Bronze Age Barrows.
Bull Ring Barrow [Map]. Historic England:
On the south-west side of the henge, c.20m distant, is a large mound interpreted as an oval barrow overlain on its western end by a later bowl barrow. It is sub-rectangular in shape and measures 27m by 21m by c.2.5m high. Originally it would have been somewhat higher but has been disturbed on the summit by a World War II slit trench. Its current plan is due to modern disturbance round its edges, caused by ploughing and the construction and later removal of drystone walls on its east and north sides. No recorded excavation of the barrow has been carried out so it cannot be precisely dated.

All About History Books
The Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke. Baker was a secular clerk from Swinbroke, now Swinbrook, an Oxfordshire village two miles east of Burford. His Chronicle describes the events of the period 1303-1356: Gaveston, Bannockburn, Boroughbridge, the murder of King Edward II, the Scottish Wars, Sluys, Crécy, the Black Death, Winchelsea and Poitiers. To quote Herbert Bruce 'it possesses a vigorous and characteristic style, and its value for particular events between 1303 and 1356 has been recognised by its editor and by subsequent writers'. The book provides remarkable detail about the events it describes. Baker's text has been augmented with hundreds of notes, including extracts from other contemporary chronicles, such as the Annales Londonienses, Annales Paulini, Murimuth, Lanercost, Avesbury, Guisborough and Froissart to enrich the reader's understanding. The translation takes as its source the 'Chronicon Galfridi le Baker de Swynebroke' published in 1889, edited by Edward Maunde Thompson. Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback.
