Cowley is a small dispersed hamlet[1] in North East Derbyshire, consisting of a few private houses and functioning farms strung out along Cowley Lane, which runs between the village of Holmesfield and the "Hill Top" neighbourhood of the town of Dronfield (where the population is included). Until 2001 it held an annual well dressing[2] in the grounds of Cowley Mission, a small chapel founded in 1888 and still active.[3]
