Staveley is a former mining town in the borough of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England, alongside the River Rother, near Barlborough to the east. Nearby hamlets are Norbriggs, Mastin Moor, and others.

Elijah Mapley, of Great Woolstone but living in nearby Great Linford, moved from Buckinghamshire in the 1850/60's after his father died when he was very young and his mother re-married. He initially worked in the local coal mines until establishing himself as a shoe and boot maker. He married Ellen Machin from Steveley, and his sons and daughters remained in the area, with the sons all working for the collieries.
