Padley Hall (or Padley Manor) was a large double courtyard house where, in 1588, two Catholic priests (Nicholas GARLICK and Robert LUDLUM) were discovered and then, two weeks later, hanged, drawn and quartered in Derby. They became known as the 'Padley Martyrs'. Padley Hall today is mostly in ruins, although part of it—probably originally the central gatehouse range—survives, and in 1933 was converted to a Roman Catholic chapel in honour of the martyrs. The chapel is a Grade I listed building, standing not far from the railway line.
