social and fund raising events and activities to support the objects of the Association. Media The Tansley Village Hall was used in Channel 4's How to Look Good Naked in 2009. Tansley was also used a filming location for Shane Meadows' 2004 film Dead Man's Shoes. Tansley's communications network includes the Tansley Hotwire, a village e-mail service which distributes news and information to residents, and a website. In February 2010 Tansley featured in the Sunday Times Property Section as a village that was "alive and kicking", one where community spirit still thrives. Community buildings Anglican Church In 1839 Tansley was part of the parish of Crich. At that time it is recorded in a petition by the churchwardens and other parishioners of the parish of Crich that "the hamlet of Tansley contains a population of upwards of 500 souls and is distant from the Parish Church (of Crich) of four miles and that it is extremely inconvenient for the inhabitants of the said hamlet to attend divine service in the said parish of Crich, and in order to provide some church accommodation and aid for spiritual wants of the people residing therein considerable funds have been raised by voluntary contributions together with other grants to build a chapel". The church was started in 1839, built of stone quarried locally, and opened 1 year later dedicated to the Holy Trinity. By the middle of the 1860s, Matlock Bank, just over a mile away, had become popular with visitors coming to take the waters and although Holy Trinity church was large enough for local residents, it was not big enough to cope with additional visitors from Matlock Bank. The church was enlarged in 1870 by adding a North Aisle. New pews replaced the box pews and the altar area was changed. It was recognised that the addition of one aisle “ ..... produced an oddity but it is intended to add a corresponding wing should further accommodation be necessary". In the event, it obviously did not prove to be necessary. Methodist Church The Methodist church was built in Church Street in 1829, 11 years before the Anglican church (Holy Trinity). It replaced the smaller old Chapel, an octagonal building at The Knoll, built in 1811 on the site of a former cockfighting pit. The present church has been modernised in recent years. It has its own schoolroom behind it. Village Hall Tansley
