About Chapel Milton

Chapel Milton is a quaint hamlet located on the outskirts of Chapel-en-le-Frith, along the route to Chinley and Glossop. Nestled within the parish of Chinley, Buxworth and Brownside, it derives its name from the site of the historic Maynstonfield Mill, a medieval corn mill established in 1391. Though the mill was demolished in 1946, its legacy remains linked to the now-unmarked Hockholme Brook, believed to converge with the Black Brook in the area, making Chapel Milton an interesting point of reference for planning applications in this picturesque region.
