Riber is a small hamlet in
this parish [Matlock], situated on a lofty eminence. Adjoining
Riber Castle is a Free Methodist chapel, built by the late John
Smedley. Riber Castle, the residence of Mrs. Smedley, is an
imposing structure of local stone, situated on the brow of the
hill, 860 feet above sea level, and commands most extensive
views. Riber Hall, now occupied as a farm house, is a building
of considerable antiquity. On Riber Hill formerly stood a number
of large masses of gritstone, supposed to have been the remains
of a druidical altar.
