Bridge Chapel House is now either owned or rented by the Derbyshire
Family History Society - they do have open days. It is also open a
few days every week for members to research their archives.
I've been there a few times, it's a lovely old building with lots of
nooks and crannies.

Dear Michelle,
Not costume related, but the mention of Padley rang a bell with me.
Lower down on the website you mentioned,
http://www.padley.catholicweb.com/ , is an account of the Padley
Martyrs. Here in Derby we have one of the few remaining Bridge
Chapels (where travellers used to pray), close by St. Mary's Bridge
where the Martyrs were executed. They are supposed to have spent
their last night there. It is now administered by Derby Cathedral,
where I worship, and a joint Anglican/Catholic commemoration of the
Padley Martyrs is held every year.
