Wardlow is a parish and linear village in the Derbyshire Dales two miles from Tideswell, Derbyshire, England. The small village contains the church of the Good Shepherd, and within the settlement is the small hamlet of Wardlow Mires which contains a notable pub. Both Wardlow and Wardlow Mires were historically (1857) in two parishes.

History

In 1755, two stone coffins were found when a cairn was excavated, and surrounding these were seventeen other remains which spread out in a radial way, although another source says there were seventeen coffins, and gives the date that they were found during the construction of a turnpike road as 1759.

Black Harry was a highwayman on the turnpike roads who troubled travellers on the moors around Wardlow and Longstone. In Stoney Middleton his name lives on in place names like Black Harry Gate and Black Harry House, but it was at Gibbot Field near Wardlow that he met his end when he was hanged, drawn and quartered after being arrested by the Castleton Bow Street Runners.
