no footnotes date July 2010 Roaches Grit is a coarse sandstone which outcrops widely throughout the western part of the Peak District of northern England and gives rise to several significant landscape features in the area. Its counterpart in the eastern part of the National Park is the Ashover Grit . The combined Roaches Grit and Ashover Grit are amongst the most widespread sandstone geological unit unit s within the Millstone Grit Millstone Grit Group of the Peak District. Along with other similar sandstones, such as the immediately overlying Chatsworth Grit , it is assigned to the Marsdenian sub stage stratigraphy stage of the Namurian stage within the Carboniferous Geological time scale period . The two units which, prior to the doming and erosion of the central Peak District were once one, are interpreted as delta top sandstones. The deposited material was brought down from a northerly source by braided rivers. Landscape features Amongst the features for which the Roaches Grit is responsible are Axe Edge , The Roaches , Hen Cloud, Ramshaw Rocks, Back Forest and Hangingstone . The natural chasm of Lud s Church Lud s Church is developed within the Roaches Grit whilst it also forms the lower slopes of Shutlingsloe . Equally the Ashover Grit contributes to the landscape in the form of Stanton Moor and Harthill Moor. The former is home to gritstone quarries whilst the latter boasts Robin Hood s Stride Robin Hood s Stride and Cratcliffe Tor . Much of the country around Edensor and Baslow though not Baslow Edge and around Ashover , from whence it derives its name, is underlain and shaped by this rock.

It is part of the village of Ashover . This portion of the village was the centre of stocking frame working in Ashover and probably derives its name from the noise made by the machines. The frames were owned and operated by individual families who converted the top floors of their already cramped cottages to accommodate the large, complex machines. Raw materials, such as silk or cotton , where obtained from a local entrepreneur. He would then collect the finished stockings and pay the machinist a piece rate, usually very low. In the 18th century and 19th century, most of the cottages then existing in Rattle housed at least one spinning or weaving frame. Today, the only surviving weaver s cottages are at the junction of Chapel Hill and Hill Road.
