Thirty years later, a north aisle was added because the church was not big enough to cater for the additional visitors who were coming to Matlock and Matlock Bath to take the waters. Holy Trinity Church Tansley Village lies 2 miles from Matlock on the A615 Matlock to Alfreton Road. It is a rural village with just over 1000 names on the voter s register. Years ago the main occupations were farming and quarrying although there were cotton mills in the nearby Lumsdale Valley.
Today there are no more working mills and quarries but there are many light industries.
There are also six Garden Centre within half a mile of the village. The housing is a mixture of old and new with a mix of old and new villagers. The old village school is now the Village Hall which, together with the old Reading Room, host the many and varied activities which take place in the village. Holy Trinity Church stands on a slight rise near the centre of the village and was built in 1840.Prior to that date, Tansley was in the Parish of Crich.
