CALVER is a village and township, 2 miles north-west from Baslow St. Anne. The charities amount to about £2 8s. per annum. Here is a Primitive Methodist chapel built in 1860. The extensive cotton spinning and doubling mills of Messrs. Tolson and Gibb are at Calver bridge, in a sheltered spot, on the river Derwent, which is crossed by a modern stone bridge of three arches to Stony Middleton. Charles Stephen Leslie esq. of Balquhain, Aberdeenshire, N.B. is lord of the manor and owns all the land. The soil is gravelly loam, on limestone. The chief crop is hay, and some land is used for grazing.
