Re: Frank i’ th’ Rocks Cave by Anonymous on Saturday, 15 October 2016
It was my ancestor that lived in this cave and he was born in 1776 and he raised all his children in the cave. He also lived with his wife
(Joan Milward) and 6 children before immigrating to USA after his daughter aged 8 died.

Many thanks
Halle Beresford

This was my childhood cave. Spent hundreds of hours inside it. When I was little I could fit all the way through, as it's actually a tunnel with two exits... Adults shouldn't risk trying to squeeze through the narrower end.

Re: Frank i’ th’ Rocks Cave by Anonymous on Saturday, 26 July 2008
A Romano-British and stratigraphically later skeletons (10) were found, nearly all being children, associated with three bronze brooches, one penannular brooch, bronze pins, fragments of bronze chain, an antler cheek piece, Romano-British pottery (jars, bowls), Roman coins and nine ‘Anglo-Saxon’ glass beads.

300m away, over river Dove, lies a settlement at the foot of Wolfscote Hill. Another settlement, with terraced platforms and fields, is 800m ESE at Wolfscote Grange. (c.100-200) (c. AD 325-375).

sorry - can't remember exactly where I obtained this info. - I used to teach archaeology some years ago now, and this is from my notes, but thought might be of interest

I think (but can't remember certainly) that the burials were found on a platform outside the cave

Anybody know what connection the Beresford (or Berisford) family has to this cave?

Isn't the actual cave of Frank I' Th' Rocks....around on the SE corner of the tor.....a much larger darker narrow cave.

Re: Frank i’ th’ Rocks Cave by Anonymous on Saturday, 12 February 2005
I believe this is the one at the junction of Beresford and Wolfscotedale (upper end of Milldale). Its at the top of of an easy incline at the base of the cliffs on the Derbyshire side of the valley, 2 entrances to a low cave with a nice flat ledge, ideal for tea drinking on a summer afternoon.
Easily walkable from Hartington, or a shorter route from the access road to Beresford Hall via the stepping stones.
