French connection?
Name translates in French as Chapel in the Frith. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.168.217  (talk • contribs)  18:19, 6 August 2009
 * See also derivation 3 in Wiktionary. THe Frith referred to would be the Forest of the High Peak (or Pecsaetan) as with Duffield Frith a generally wooded area usually belonging to a member of Norman nobility and subject to Forest law Chevin (talk) 07:55, 6 February 2011 (UTC)


 * However, the word "frith" (in any of its meanings) is definitely not derived from French. (There may be a derivation the other way round - "forêt" may perhaps ultimately come from "frith", or not.) So rather than being French, the name is a mix: first an English word of French origin, then two truly French words, and finally an English word of Germanic origin without a hint of French influence.

Suggestions

 * Neolithic and Bronze Age remains nearby such as a tumulus on Eldon Hill
 * Iron age Castle Naze?
 * Pecsaetan. Brigantes
 * Roman Batham Gate?
 * Domesday Book?
 * Forest Courts for Longendale Ward
 * Foresters established the chapel about 1225
 * In the centre of the forest ward of Campana.
 * At crossroads of Roman road between Buxton and Melandra and an ancient track between Mam Tor and the west.
 * Date market established 1254? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.233.100 (talk) 14:15, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Bank Hall, Chapel-en-le-Frith
Is there any history on the house that can be put into this page? its always good to include the mansion house to a village or town in the history section as it usually employed many locals and developed the settlement... Bankhallbretherton (talk) 21:55, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * According to this website (see "Halls in the Hills"), Bank Hall was just one of several halls in the district. They (collectively) might be worth a mention here but I'm not sure Bank Hall on its own warrants a great deal of coverage in this general article. I'm a local with an interest in the history of the area and I must admit I'd never heard of it. Dave.Dunford (talk) 09:02, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Cheers for that, I am involved with Bank Hall and have often come accross photos and info on the "Bank Hall" at Chapel-en-le-Frith, I have never been to the place but just wondered of it was worth a mention of the local mansion houses and i could maybe try and provide some info if i get it together. But i will leave it to the people that know the area best as i dont believe in editing pages i dont know alot about or the facts... something that irritates me is when people edit pages that i know well and they dont actually know what they are talking about... so i will leave it to you! :)

If i can help if you decide to add anything regarding the houses then give me a shout as i love looking into country houses history Bankhallbretherton (talk) 01:09, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Edits by Hcp72*
I'm uneasy about your edits, though they're obviously made in good faith. Issues: I'm tempted to revert, as on the whole I don't feel the article is improved by these changes. though some of it is worth keeping. Thoughts? Dave.Dunford (talk) 21:48, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * None of them are cited.
 * Some of them are arguable – what's the evidence that Chapel en le Frith is "the first settlement of the Peak District"? What about Lismore Fields in Buxton, for example?
 * The lead section now goes off on a rambling discursion about the etymology of the Peak District, which is irrelevant to the subject of the article and longer than the rest of the lead.
 * I'd forgotten I'd made the above comment, but on re-reading the lead I had exactly the same reaction. I've removed the discursive material. The derivation of "Capital of the Peak" seems to vary too among sources, so I've made it more non-committal. Dave.Dunford (talk) 10:35, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
