TUNSTEAD

A village in Derbyshire, situated in the Great Rocks Dale north of Buxton.

Not to be confused with Tunstaed Milton which is roughly five miles to the north east.

It is famous as the birthplace of James Brindley, pioneer builder of Britain's canals. he was born in 1716 in a farmhouse on the edge of the village and with the encouragement of his mother became an apprentice millwright in Leek. The Derbyshire Archaeological Society planted a sapling and have erected a monunent to his memory.
