Flower Delivery to Tideswell with Clare Florist

Though small, the town of Tideswell in Derbyshire has a lot of heart. No one quite knows where the name came from, with some saying it was named after the tiding well in the village, while other claiming that it was named after Tidi, a chieftain of the Saxons. Most locals simply call it Tidza and call themselves Sawyeds. This stems from a local legends about a cow who got his head stuck in a gate and was freed by his farmer by sawing that cow’s head off. During Wales week, local groups will put of a play of this story for locals.

This area of England was known, in the early days, as a place to mine for lead. There was (and still is) a very famous church here, called the Church of St. John the Baptist. One of the most well-known aspects of the church is the sundial on its steps, which is said to have been used as a gathering place for the market. There is a festival in Tideswell, called the Wakes, which includes a parade, band, and dance, which the townspeople take part in each year.

One of the most popular events in Tideswell, which was instituted in 2009 as an attempt to help keep local stores open, after several had closed over the last ten years, is called Tideswell Food Festival, sponsored by the now closed Taste Tideswell venture. During this event each year, there are cooking classes provided to the citizens of the town and there are lots of opportunities to engage with and try out different types of food, provided by local restaurants and shops. This is still one of the major draws to the area, and has been and will continue to be a major source of revenue for the town.
