Google
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on Hbrary shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

ADDRESS.
!
N submitting to their subscribers this edition of the History, Topography,
and Directory of Derbyshire, the Publishers desire to return their
sincere thanks for the very liberal support and encouragement they
have received during its preparation. The compilation of the work has
occupied a longer time than the Publishers anticipated, but as neither
expense nor labour has been spared in procuring the latest information —
each town and parish havmg been re-visited and revised immediately before
going to press — they confidently believe that the general accuracy of the
work has not been impaired by the delay. It would be presumptuous,
however, to expect that a work of this kind could be compiled with absolute
freedom from error, but it is hoped that any which may occur will not
detract from its general utility.
In its arrangement the New Parliamentary Divisions have been adopted
instead of the old and nearly obsolete Hundreds ; and the parishes in each
have been arranged in alphabetical sequence. A copious index will still
further facilitate reference.
In the compilation of the work, the various county and local histories
have been consulted, frequent references have been made to Dr. Cox's
exhaustive work '* The Churches of Derbyshire,'* and much valuable infor-
mation has been received from many clergymen and gentlemen, to whom
the Publishers take this opportunity of gratefully acknowledging their in-
debtedness. Their especial thanks are due to Mr. John Ward, F.S.A., for
his " Notes on the Archaeology of Derbyshire," and his interesting sketch of
the rise and development of the town of Derby.

HISTORY OF DERBYSHIRE.
N the absence of historic record, it is impossible to point out with
certainty either the period of man's first appearance in this island,
or the country whence he came. The subject has engaged the atten-
tion of antiquarians for many years past, but the widely divergent
conclusions at which they have arrived only prove the worthlessness
of their speculations. Some, calling to their aid the deductions of
geology, would have us believe that man's advent here was coeval with
that far-ofif time when these islands formed an integral part of the continent, and
the colossal mammoth, the woolly elephant, the hairy rhinoceros, the cave hyena,
the cave bear, and other strange animal forms, whose bones have been found in
caves in this countly, wended their way hither over dry land, where now roll the
waters of the German Ocean. This distant age has been variously estimated at
from 60,000 to 600,000 years ago ! Such are the wild and reckless guesses as to
the time of man's first arrival here ; and scarcely less happy have been the con-
clusions of antiquarians as to the part of the continent from which he came.
Finmark, Denmark, Germany, France, Spain have each been named, and argu-
ments more or less plausible advanced in support of their claims. The subject
does not possess that general interest that we need enter further into it, suffice it
to say that it is now generally admitted that the first inhabitants of this country
were not of the Celtic race, nor had their language any affinity to that spoken by
any branch of the Celtic race. It became extinct at an early date, but from the
few words which have been preserved it has been inferred that it was identical in
origin with the Basque.
This primitive race passed away without leaving a history behind, and for
what we Imow of them we are indebted to the spade and not to musty records.
The secret of their graves has been unlocked, and from such unpromising
materials as the mouldering remains foimd therein Canon Greenwell, Dr.
Thumam, Professor Eolleston, Thomas Bateman, and others have unravelled the
story of this primitive man. He was of short stature, with a head characterised,
by its length rather than its rotundity. His facial angle, as measured from his
skull, and other evidence afforded by it, indicate the possession of a mild and
pleasant countenance. He had domesticated the Bos-longifrons, a species of ox,
and hunted the boar and red deer, out of whose bones he fabricated some of his
weapons. He led a semi-pastoral sort of life, eking out his subsistence by the
chase, and was acquainted with the use of fire in cooking his food. He had some
knowledge of the potter's art, and when he died rudely formed earthen vessels,
with his flint and bone implements, were buried with him, from which it has been
inferred that he had some knowledge of a future state, where he would require
the weapons he had used heretofore. He had reached but the incipient stages of
civilization, and was, as yet, totally unacquainted with the working of metals.
How long these long-headed, or, as they have been technically termed,
dolichc -cephalic men, held undisturbed possession of the country it is impossible
to say, but at an early period, probably eight or ten centuries before the Christian
era, their right was disputed by another race of men, who found their way hither
by crossing the narrow sea which separates this island from Gaul, or, as we now
call it, France. The new comers were Celtse, and belonged to the Aryan branch
of the human family. They were a superior race, both physically and mentally,
and were distinguished from the people they found in possession by the roundness
of their skulls. They knew how to fabricate implements of bronze, and posaibV^

show that, though less civilized, they were not less warlike than their southern
neighbours.
Caesar accepted the feigned submission of the southern tribes and returned
to Gaul, and Britain retained its independence for about a century longer. The
Bomans then re-asserted their claim, and gradually the whole island was subdued
and brought under Boman dominion. We know from Tacitus and other Roman
historians how valiantly they opposed the disciplined armies of Rome, and the
numerous earthworks and intrenchments which remain in Derbyshire and other
parts of the country show that every foot of ground was stubbornly contested
with the conquerors. The Coritani were one of the two tribes forming the king-
dom of the Iceni, the capital of which was Camulodunum (supposed to be Lexden,
near Colchester) ; but this part of the little kingdom was very thinly populated,
and does not appear to have possessed a single town, and the villages were merely
clusters of huts which have left no trace behind.
Under Boman sway the central part of the country, including the district
inhabited by the Coritani, formed the province of Flavia Cassariensis. To secure
their conquests the Bomans erected stations and constructed roads which, if not
in every case, at least in one, followed the Une of the former British trackway.
This was Byknield Streety which entered this county on the south-west, near
Egginton, where antiquaries have found traces of it, but it is now entirely
obUterated by the road which follows it to Littleover. Here, just before reaching
the village, it diverges to the left and passes on over Nun's Green and across the
Derwent to Little Chester, the Derventio of the Bomans. It passed on thence,
by Breadsall, over Morley Moor, near Horsley Woodhouse, and on in a north-
easterly direction, but no traces are now discoverable.
Another road led from Buxton to the small camp at Brough, and is still
known in places as Bathomgate or Bathgate {i.e. the road to the baths). From
Brough it has been traced northwards to Melandra Castle, near Glossop. A fourth
road has been traced to the south of Buxton a Httle to the east of the Ashbourne
Boad, passing near the Druid's Circle, on Arbelows, thence to the south-east over
Brassington Moor, and on to Little Chester.
No evidence is forthcoming to show that the ancient Britons were acquainted
with the lead which lay in such abundance beneath the surface, but it is certain
that these lead mines were worked by the Bomans. Pigs of the metal bearing
Boman inscriptions have been found in the neighbourhood of Matlock, and one
was recently dug up on Tansley Moor bearing the inscription, in raised Boman
letters, P. B. ABASCANTI METALLI LVTVDABES. Near the place where
it was found is an ancient British trackway, which the Boman used for the con-
veyance of the lead from the mines. One of the pigs found was inscribed
SOCIO BOMTFi (** To my partner at Bome "), from which it has been inferred
that the lead was an article of commerce. Many Boman coins and remains have
been found at Little Chester, Brough, and Chesterfield, which will be noticed more
at length in the topography.
After the departure of the Bomans, hordes of semi-barbarous Saxons, Angles,
and Jutes from the Baltic coast and the marshlands of Jutland, poured into the
country, and eventually appropriated it, dividing it into seven Hngdoms. The
central portion, including what we now call Derbyshire, was formed into the King-
dom of Mercia, the largest and most powerful of these seven petty monarchies
known as the Saxon Heptarchy. The new comers were pagans, and Christianity,
which had been introduced during the Boman domination, had no greater enemy
than Penda who ruled over the Mercians. Bepton was the capital of his kingdom,
and after the conversion of Peada an abbey was erected here sometime before
AD. 660, in which several of the Kings of Mercia were buried. After many
internecine wars and much bloodshed, the seven kingdoms were consoUdated
by Egbert of Wessex, Mercia and Northumbria being the last to submit to his
rule. But they still continued to possess a nominal royalty in a line of under-
lords or tributary kings.
HI8T0BT OF DEBBYBHIBE. 5
" Bathing- well," is generally supposed to be Bakewell, and the ramparts or earth-
work of an ancient fort are still traceable on a hill close to the town.
Mercia, under succeeding kings, still continued to play an active part in the
political and military history of the country, but its dukes were as often in league
with the Danes as with the King. There is very Httle recorded having any
relation with Derbyshire, but the town of Derby appears to have been a place of
some importance, and had the privilege of a mint ; coins struck there have, at
various times, been discovered.
We may glean from the Domesday Book how Derbyshire fared under the
Normans. The stalwart men of Derbyshire were amongst the most obstinate
opponents of the Conqueror, and as a consequence their lands were filched from
them and bestowed by William upon the lords and knights who had accompanied
him from Normandy. To his illegitimate son, William de Peverel, he gave
twenty manors in this county, besides extensive possessions in Nottinghamshire.
Thirty manors were bestowed upon Ealph Fitzhubert, and one hundred and
fourteen on Henry de Ferrers, who had also nearly as many in other parts of the
country. The King retained in his own possession one hundred and twelve
manors and the town of Derby. The confiscation was most complete, and
scarcely a single Englishman was left in possession of the lands he had inherited
from his fathers. Having thus profusely distributed the land and property of the
coimtry amongst his rapacious followers, the Conqueror erected numerous
fortresses to overawe the insulted and oppressed inhabitants. Conscious of the
detestation in which he was deservedly held, he entertained a perpetual jealousy
of the English, and in the restless apprehensions of his guilty mind he compelled
them to raie out their fires and extinguish their hghts at the hour of eight every
night ; and they were reminded of their obligation by the tolling of the curfew
bell. The English did not, however, tamely submit to Norman rule ; Edric the
Wild long held out in Herefordshire, and Here ward le Wake kept them at bay in
the fens of Cambridgeshire. Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria, Waltheof, Earl of
Himtingdon, and Earls Edwin and Morcar of Mercia raised the standard of
revolt in the north, but Derbyshire does not appear to have had any share in the
mihtary operations that followed.
The century which followed the Conquest was unmarked by any events of
importance. There had been a gradual fusion of the English and Normans, and
the country slowly recovered from the devastation inflicted upon it by the Norman
army. In 1138 the right of King Stephen to the Crown was disputed by the
Empress Matilda, and her cause was espoused by David, King of Scotland. An
undiscipUned host of Scots crossed the border, and advanced southward into
Yorkshire, profaning the churches, burning and pillaging monasteries and
villages, and slaughtering promiscuously the young, aged, and defenceless.
Thurston, the venerable Archbishop of York, summoned the nobihty and gentry
to assemble with their retainers to repel the invaders. The chief command was
entrusted to Walter I'Espec, who was supported by William de Albemarle
Walter de Gand, Bobt. de Brus, Roger de Mowbray, William de Percy, Robt. de
Stuteville, and Robert de Ferrers, who led the men of Derbyshire. The two
armies met near Northallerton, and the Scots were totally routed. This battle is
known in history as the ** Battle of the Standard." The Derbyshire men
distinguished themselves in the conflict, and Robert de Ferrers was rewarded for
his services with the Earldom of Derby.
Never had the country presented such a scene of misery since the invasions
of the Danes as it did at this time. The barons, divided in their allegiance
between Stephen and the Empress Matilda, fortified their castles, and for the
while became freebooters, plundering the country, torturing those whom they
suspected had any wealth, whether friend or foe, and committing the most
inhnTTiftn excesses. Secure within their moated castles and surrounded by a
numerous body of retainers, they set at naught the restraints of law and justice,
and often hurled defiance at the Crown itself. Both competitors connived at the
excesses of their adherents, and both parties were eager to retaliate.
HISTORY OP DERBYSHIRE. 7
a severe defeat at Boroughbridge, was taken prisoner, and led back to Pontefract
Castle. Here he was arraigned, convicted, and beheaded.
There is little to record of Derbyshire during the reign of Edward III. The
Scots decUned to submit to the dictatorship of Edward III., and in considerable
force penetrated into the north of England devastating the districts through which
they passed ; and for the protection of the inhabitants the King issued a writ to
the sheriffs of Derby, Nottingham, Lancashire, &c., permitting them to withdraw
themselves with their goods and cattle out of the county into the southern parts
of the kingdom, and there to remain, wherever they chose, in the King's woods,
forests, and pastures during their pleasure. But signal and speedy vengeance was
inflicted on the Scots at HalUdon Hill, and the necessity of seeking protection for
themselves and their cattle in the King's forests and pastures was happily averted.
Derbyshire passed scatheless through the wars between the rival houses of
York and Lancaster, but she was not so fortunate in the war between Charles I.
and the Parliament, and many a family of affluence and distinction was reduced
to ruin and sank into oblivion. Most of the gentry and burgesses of the county
were favourable to the royal cause and thus drew upon themselves the vengeance
of the Cromwellites, who raided their houses, singing canticles of praise to the
Lord as they carried off the plunder. The royal standard was erected at Notting-
ham in August, 1642, and the King passed through Derby, where he received from
the Corporation a loan of £300 and as many arms and implements of war as
could be found, which he promised to rettirn at the conclusion of the war. Three
months later Sir John Gell, of Hopton, a Parliamentary leader, with a small
regiment of foot marched from Hull to Chesterfield, thence to Wirksworth, and
drove Sir Francis Wortley and his handful of royalists out of the town. He then
proceeded to Derby, which he garrisoned with very little difficulty, though but a
short while before the inhabitants had been loud in their protestations of loyalty.
The Earl of Chesterfield fortified his house at Bretby for the king, and Sir John
Gell with his augmented force attacked the house and put the small garrison to
flight. The Countess remained, and refusing to comply with their demand for
money, the house was given up to plunder. There were royalist forces at Tutbury,
Lichfield, and Ashby-de-la-Zouch ready to proceed against Derby. A small force
of royaUsts under General Hastings and Sir John Harpur fortified the house of
the latter at Swarkston, but they were overpowered by the force sent against them
from Derby, though they made a vigorous defence at the bridge over the Trent.
Success often decides the wavering, and Sir John Cell's forces daily received
accessions of strengtK. He had companies at Winfield Manor, Wingerworth, and
Chatsworth, from which he was able to send detachments to the assistance of Sir
Thomas Fairfax. The approach of the Earl of Newcastle with a strong force of
royahsts turned for a short while the tide of victory. South Winfield Manor
House was taken, but the Earl, instead of following up his success, retreated with
the greater part of his army into Yorkshire. Sir John Gell, having obtained
assistance from the parUamentary forces at Nottingham, laid seige to the httle
stronghold, but the garrison stubbornly resisted. The royalists of the county
assembled their forces at Burton to go to the relief of the manor. Major Sanders
was despached with dragoons to intercept them, and at Boyleston he captured by
a stratagem Colonel Eyre and his whole regiment, who had taken up their quarters
for the night in the church. The news of this loss damped the spirits of the
royalists, who, after a few skirmishes, were driven out of Burton and dispersed.
The siege of Winfield was then proceeded with, and the garrison capitulated.
Another futile attempt was made by the royahsts of the Peak, who, to the number
of about 300 horse, assembled at Tissington, where they were speedily routed ;
and the battle of Naseby, fought soon afterwards, gave the death-blow to royalty
for a time.
Cromwell's short reign, harsh and oppressive, with its stern measures for the
suppression of every form of amusement, produced a reaction in the popular
mind against Puritanical government; and scarcely had the mantle of the
Dictator fallen on his son Bichard when the people of Derbyshire openly showed
8 HI8T0BT OF DEBBT8HIBE.
their discontent by a tumultuous demonstration in the Market Place at Derby.
The insurgents were dispersed by a force of dragoons, but the restoration of
Charles II. was accomplished shortly afterwards.
Derbyshire played an important part in the Revolution of 1688, which placed
WiUiam, Prince of Orange, on the throne of the Stuarts, and drove James II.
into exile. The first secret meeting of the conspirators was held at the ** Cock
and Pynot," a roadside public-house in Whittington, near Chesterfield, and the
result of their deUberations was an invitation to the Prince of Orange. The Earl
of Devonshire, the ruhng spirit of the conspiracy, marched at the head of 500
men to the town of Derby, where ** he declared against James II. and in favour
of his Dutch son-in-law." The Earl was handsomely rewarded by the new King,
who raised him to the highest rank in the peerage.
The Revolution was quietly and, in many places, joyously accepted by the
people, but in the reign of Queen Anne a desire was manifested in high places for
the restoration of the Stuart dynasty. In 1709 Dr. Sacheverell, a celebrated
divine of strong Tory proclivities, preached at All Saints', Derby, and at St.
Paul's Cathedral two famous sermons, in which he held up to ridicule the Whig
government that had dominated the country since the accession of William III.,
and stigmatised the Revolution as an unrighteous change. The sermons were
voted scandalous and libellous by the Government, and Sacheverell was impeached
of high crimes and misdemeanours. His trial lasted three weeks, and the mild
sentence passed upon him was received in Derby with acclamations of joy.
When the Earl of Derwentwater unfurled the standard of rebellion in favour
of the Pretender he had many sympathisers in Derbyshire, but no active assist-
ance was given, and a few years later, in 1745, when " Bonnie Prince Charlie"
made the final attempt to oust the Guelph from the throne, he led his brawny
Highlanders as far as Derby on his intended march to London. Two regiments
of volunteers were hastily raised for the defence of the town, but their courage
sank to zero as the Highlanders approached, and they fled precipitately to
Nottingham, leaving the inhabitants to take care of themselves. The Prince's
march had so far been a conspicuous success, but now dissensions and jealousies
arose amongst his followers. A council of war was held, and a retreat was
decided on. Next day the Highland army quitted the town, and the inhabitants, who
had suffered little injury either in purse or goods, returned to their usual equanimity.
After the close of the Napoleonic war trade was bad, money scarce, and
numbers of the people were clamouring for bread. In 1817 a few Derbyshire
stockingers and handloom weavers hatched a plot at Pentrich to overthrow the
Government, whom they foolishly believed to be responsible for the general
stagnation. Their leader was one Jeremiah Brandreth, who incited them to deeds
of violence with such doggerel as this —
No bloody soldiers must we dread,
We must turn out and fight for bread.
The time is come, you plain must see,
The Government opposed must be.
As they passed from village to village their numbers increased to nearly
three hundred, and with this mere handful they determined to attack first
Nottingham and then Derby. Their march came to a speedy and inglorious
termination at Eastwood, where they were dispersed by a troop of hussars.
Upwards of 30 were captured and committed to take their trial for high treason.
The three ringleaders — Brandreth, Ludlam, and Turner — were found guilty, and
sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and quartered.
In later years the state of the county has been one of steady progress, the
construction of railways has opened out its mineral resources and extended the
trade of local industries.
NOTES ON THE ARCRaSOLOGY OF DERBYSHIRE.
By John Ward, F.S.A.
From an archsBological point of view, Derbyshire has long been recognised as
one of the most important counties in England. Since the numerous contributions
HISTORY OF DERBYSHIBE. 9
of Major Hayman Booke and Kev. Dr. Pegge to the pages of *' Archaeologia"
last century, there has been an ahnost constant stream of investigators of its
antiquities, and some of the works they have written rank high in the archaeological
literature of the country. It must not, however, be concluded from this that any
one class of its antiquities is of exceptional value ; on the contrary, its
interest lies in their great diversity, every class into which English archas-
ology is usually divided being represented, some, as might be expected, more
fully than others. The archaeological literature is copious. The volumes of
" Archaeologia " for the last two decades of the last century contain, as above stated,
numerous papers by Dr. Pegge ana Major Booke. Glover's ** History of Derbyshire"
recounts most of the discoveries made during the first thirty years of the present
century. Bateman's ** Vestiges of the Antiquities of Derbyshire " and '* Ten Years'
Diggings," are records of extensive investigations among the British, Bom an,
and Saxon grave-mounds of the county and the adjacent part of Staffordshire, by
the late Thomas and William Bateman. The ** Beliquary," from the circumstance
that it is published at Derby and up till 1890 was edited by Derbyshire anti-
quaries, is replete with information respecting the district ; and this, of course,
applies with stronger force to the Journals of the Derbyshire Archaeological and
Natural History Society. The ecclesiology is exhaustively treated by Be v. J. C.
Cox, LL.D., in ** Notes on the Churches of Derbyshire," a work unsurpassed of its
kind. The ** Quarterly Journal " of the Geological Society, Pennington's ** Barrows
and Bone Caves of Derbyshire," and Bigsby's " History of Bepton," also contain
important original contributions on this aspect of the county.
Archaeological time in the west of Europe falls readily into two salient and
well-defined aeons, corresponding with the Pleistocene and Post-pleistocene or
Becent eras of the geologist, the latter era extending to our own time. These
eras were dissimilar from one another in several respects. The Pleistocene
cHmate oscillated between extremes of arctic coldness and sub-tropical heat, and
these were accompanied with corresponding changes in the fauna and fiora. The
deposits of this era consequently exhibit forms now confined to more northern or
to more southern latitudes. A still more marked difference from the present was
the presence of mammals which are now extinct. These oscillations of climate were
also responsible for great changes in the configuration of the surface, chiefly
through glacial action. The Becent period, on the other hand, represents a course
of time during which the present conditions as to climate, surface contour, and
life have undergone but little change. Although appropriately recent time to the
geologist, it nevertheles is of such immense duration as to include all pre-historio
time covered by the neolithic, bronze, and early iron ages, and all subsequent
historic time.
The Pleistocene Era.
The Pleistocene deposits of Derbyshire are insignificant compared vith those
of most other counties. Here and there in the Peak small patches of glacial drift
may be met with, occupying hollows and sheltered slopes, which so tar coalesce
in the less hilly districts of the southern half of the county as to form a discon-
tinuous superficial veneer ; but they have not yielded any remains of man or his
handiwork. The river gravels and ** terraces " are equally insignificant and devoid
of these remains. The third and only class of deposits which have yielded
remains of Pleistocene man and animals are those which occur as '* fox-earths,"
breccias, and stalagmites in caverns and fissures. But, considering how very
numerous these natural cavities are in the Peak, it must be admitted that the
recorded instances of such discoveries are very few indeed, probably because only
a few have had their floors scientifically examined. Three small caves — the Pin,
Church, and Bobin Hood Holes — at Creswell, on the north-east border of the
county, however, have yielded archaeological results unsurpassed by any other
English cave, except the famous Kent's Cavern at Torquay. The discovery that
these '* caves " contained relics of the past was made by the Bev. Magens Mello,
F.G.8., about twenty years ago, and this led to their systematic excavation by this
HISTOBT OF DERBYSHIRE. 11
been no sudden transition. Human culture has made a more or less even
progression. Consequently the periods — Neolithic, Bronze, and Early Iron — into
which the pre-historic portion of Post- Pleistocene time is usually divided by
archaeologists, must not in any sense be regarded as sharply defined, nor even, in
any given locality, as necessarily consecutive periods. They represent stages
in an evolution ; hence have been separated by transitional periods. It ia
equally certain that some tribes were more advanced than their neighbours, and
that the latter, while substantially of lower culture, may have obtained imple-
ments proper to a higher culture, by barter. This indicates how unwise it is to
make the character of implements the sole criterion for the determination of
their relative ages. Still it is possible, and with a considerable degree of certainty,
to determine the general sequence in time of some of the more important groups
of Derbyshire antiquities.
Chambered Barrows. — At Minginglow (two) and Harborough Rocks, near
Brassington, Bole Hill, near Bakewell, Ringham Low, near Moneyash, and Five
Wells, near Taddington, are the remains of barrows containing megalithic
chambers, such as are with general consent attributed to the neolithic stage of
culture. All of these, with the exception of that of Harborough Rocks (which
was opened by the writer — D. A. & N. H. Soc.'s Journal, 1889), were examined
by the Batemans (** Vestige, &c." and **Ten Years' Diggings"), but were found to have
been previously rifled or much disturbed. In every instance in which the original
interments remained the skulls were dohchocephalic, and the flint implements,
dehcate leaf-shaped arrow-heads. The chambers were constructed of slabs of
stone, and were occasionally paved and accompanied with remains of galleries.
Contrary to the general rule, the mounds appear to have been more or less
circular instead of elongated ; and in one instance, at least, that of the famous
Mininglow barrow, the base was protected with a podium of dry walling.
But the larger number by far of the Derbyshire archaic burial-places belong
to succeeding times. Taking into consideration only those which have yielded
results of archaeological interest, and including a considerable number opened by
the late Mr. Thomas Bateman and his Staffordshire colleague, Mr. Carrington, in
the parts of that county adjacent to Derbyshire, no less than about 380 of this
class have had their contents published. Of these, some 330, mostly opened by
the above-mentioned gentlemen, found a place in the pages of ** Vestiges, &c.'*
and ** Ten Years* Diggings." The number of separate interments, whether of one
individual or of several buried together at one time, which have been described,
cannot be less than 700. Although presenting the greatest diversity they can be
grouped into several more or less distinct classes, which in some measure repre-
sent successive portions of time, extending from the neolithic chambers to the
dawn of Saxon Christianity. They may be conveniently divided into British^
Romano-British, and Saxon.
British Interments. — About 280 of the 380 barrows may be classed aa
British, Celtic, or pre-Roman. Some few of these approach the neoHthic chambers,
in the large size of their cists, and perhaps should be regarded as transitional, while
others seem to synchronize with the Roman occupation. Their builders practised
both inhumation and cremation, sometimes together. Whether inhumated or
cremated, the interment was either simply buried in the earth, or deposited in a
vault roofed with slabs of stone, or in an enclosure formed by slabs of stone set on
end, or in a further development of this, the box-like cist, formed by adding a roof
of slabs to this enclosure. This receptacle, although similar to the neolithic
chamber in construction, differed in having no entrance or gallery, and in not-
being used for successive interments. The cover-mounds of these different forms
of sepulture in Derbyshire also varied. The simplest and most frequent was the
bowl-shaped cairn, a heap of stones thrown together ; sometimes, however, the
stones were laid together with considerable order ; sometimes they were inter-
mixed with earth ; or the mound consisted of earth or fine materials only. When
not bowl-shaped it was flat and table-like, or rendered irregular through the
additions of secondary interments. The base of the mound was frequently defined
HISTOBT OF DERBYSHIRE. 13
\vith a man's, probably points to Sutteeism. More frequently — about 55 cases —
burnt human bones accompanied an inhumated skeleton. In these, the skeleton
seems to represent the interment proper, the burnt bones being an accessory,
probably the relics of a human sacrifice. The almost invariable presence of
charcoal has long been considered to point to the use of fire as a religious
ceremony to prepare the grave for its occupant. It can hardly be, that this was
unaccompanied with sacrifice, indeed the usual presence of animals' bones tends
to confirm this; and if so, there is nothing unlikely in human beings being
occasionally the victims.
The British barrows are by no means evenly distributed over the area under
consideration, a circumstance mainly due to the unequal progress of agriculture.
They are most numerous on the moors and hills between Bakuwell. Wiuster, and
Hartington ; around Eyam, Brassington, and Earl Sterndale ; and on the
Staffordshire side of Door Dale. It is an interesting point in the distribution
that in several localities certain kinds of interments prevail. For instance, on
Stanton Moor and its vicinity, cremated interments, urned or otherwise,
predominate ; while between Eyam, Castleton, and Sheffield the interments have
almost invariably belonged to the urned cremated group.
Bomano-British Barrows. — About 50 barrows, interspersed among the
foregoing, had a strong family likeness, and various circumstances pointed to
their Boman age. The peculiar construction of their mounds was their mo^t
noticeable feature : — The materials were invariably fine, as clays of various
colours, sand, gravel, and, in one instance, even moss, rarely singly, but usually
disposed in layers. The interments were invariably of cremated remains, not
enclosed in cists or urns, or protected in any way. In every case the barrow
appeared to have occupied the site of the funeral pyre ; and more frequently than
not, the human remains lay just as the fire left them ; when otherwise, they
were collected into a heap. As a rule, each barrow covered only one interment.
The manufactured objects were singularly few and of little value. Those of
flint were the most frequent, but were rarely sufficiently worked to be regarded
as implements. In quite 32 per cent, of the interments, potsherds were found.
These had been introduced as potsherds, not as perfect vessels ; moreover, the
vessels they belonged to were not of the British sepulchral type, but were
obviously made for common domestic purposes. Many of these were described
as hard and as made on the wheel, and occasionally potsherds of more distinct
Boman type were found ; these leave little room for doubt that these barrows
were Bomano-British.
Ancient Non-Boman Camps. — While it is certain that these camps are not
of Boman origin, it is not easy to determine who their constructors were. Some
may have been thrown up by the natives during the English invasion, and
possibly some by the English themselves to resist the Danes ; but it seems much
more likely that, as a class, they are pre-Boman and of great antiquity. The
great magnitude of many of them, and the skill exhibited in their construction,
indicate that they were not erected as temporary barriers against foreign
invasion, but as permanent refuges in a permanent state of insecurity, such as
the frequent tribal wars of pre-Boman Britain would give rise to. In neither
the number nor magnitude of these camps can Derbyshire vie with some of the
western counties ; but two — that which conspicuously crests Mam Tor, Castleton,
and the Carl's Wark, near Hathersage — of its eight or ten examples are very fine and
noteworthy. The former is about 16 acres in extent, and is surrounded with a
double trench, three-quarters of a mile in circuit. The Carl's Wark may be
described as a natural fortress improved by art. It is a raised flat platform of
land on the summit of a gentle hill. All its sides, with the exception of that on
its west, are rocky and steep, forming a natural rampart, and any gaps which
might render it vulnerable have been filled up with rude masonry. Across the
western slope a ditch has been cut, and on its inner side is an earthern rampart
faced with a wall 8ft. or 9ft. high, composed of huge stones in their natural shapes.
Other entrenchments occur at Fin Cop, Combs Moss, and Craikstone, Alport and
HISTOBY OF DEBBTSHIBE. 15
to come under the notice of antiquaries. The most prominent feature of Roman
Derbyshire was the extensive lead-mining carried on in the Peak, evidenced by
the occasional discovery in this and neighbouring counties of pigs of lead,
inscribed or otherwise. The earliest recorded discovery of an inscribed pig in
this county was on Cromford Nether Moor in 1777 (** Archaeologia," vol. v.) ; this
was followed by another on Matlock Moor in 1783 (ib., vol. viii.) ; a third, near
the last, in 1787 (ib., vol. xiii.); amd a fourth, also near the last, in 1894.
(•* Antiquary," vol. xxix.).
The sites of several stations are known, and their names identified. One
was at Little Chester by Derby, which, by a consensus of opinion, is identified
with Derbentio of Bavennas. Buxton was certainly Aquae. Two others,
Melandra Castle, hear Glossop, and Brough, in Hope Dale, have been identified
as Zerdotalia and Navio by the late Mr. W. Thompson Watkin (Derbyshire
ArchaBological and Natural History Society's Journal, vol. vii.). Very few
traces of the castrum of Derbentio remain ; but in 1721 its outline was sufficiently
discernible for Dr. Stukely to determine that it was rectangular, 500 feet by 600
feet. No indications of a castrum can be traced in a modern plan of Buxton ;
but remains of baths and other buildings have been discovered there in the 17th
and 18th centuries (Whittaker, ** History of Manchester," and " ArchsBologia,"
vol. ix.) on such a scale that it cannot be doubted that it was a place of fashion-
able resort, and that its thermal waters were held in high esteem. Unlike these
two stations, those of Melandra and Brough are in fair preservation, the former
being 366 by 336 feet, and the latter 310 by 270 feet. At both places numerous
remains have been dug up from time to time (** Archaeologia," vol. iii., Bray's
** Tour in Derbyshire," Gough's *' Cambden's Britannia," 1806, Derbyshire
Archaeological and Natural History Society's Journal, vol. vii.). Besides
these there are two small camps of apparent Roman construction at Parwich
and Pentrich, but they are too small to be regarded as stations. Some years
a^o Mr. Bedfem, of Uttoxeter, traced what he believed to be a Boman station
at Bailidon in the vicinity of the former. The site of a very important station,
Latudse, mentioned by Eavennas, and inscribed on all the above pigs of lead,
hfife} not yet been identified. It has been supposed to be Chesterfield, but the late
Mr. Watkin *s theory that it lay in the vicinity of Wirks worth has much more
in its favour.
The chief Boman road is the Eyknield Street, which connected York with
the Severn and, generally, the south-west of England. It entered the county
near Beighton, and, after a course due south (leaving Chesterfield about a mile to
the west), it took a south-western direction at Breadsall, and, threading Little
Chester, emerged at Monk's Bridge, near Eggington. Another road connected
Leicester (Batae) and the Foss Way with Chesterton (Mediolanum), in Stafford-
shire, and eventually Chester. It entered the county in the vicinity of the Trent,
and, after passing through Little Chester, took an easterly course, passing into
Staffordshire at Rocester. Another and more direct route from Leicester to
Chester passed through the extreme south of the county, and, crossing the Trent
in the vicinity of Burton, may be traced to Uttoxeter. The present highway from
Derby to Tutbury probably marks the site of a minor Roman way. It seems to
have crossed the Dove at the latter town, for an ancient way (probably its
continuation) can be traced to Uttoxeter on the south side of the Dove. A road
connecting Lincoln with Chester passed through the north of the county. Its
course east of Jirough cannot be traced with certainty, but south-west of that
point its straight track, known as Batham Gate, can readily be traced across the
moors to Buxton, thence to Middlewich and Chester. From Brough a winding
north-westerly road — the Doctor's Gate — went to Melandra Castle and Manchester
(Mancurio). From Buxton radiated four or five roads of which, at least, two had
a Derbyshire course — the one above, to Brough, and another south-east towards
Wirksworth. A road inclining towards this can be traced from Little Chester,
and is lost between Wirksworth and Ambergate. It is highly probable, especially
if Lutudae was in the vicinity, that these roads fell into an east and west road.
HISTORY OF DEBBTBHIBE. 17
When cremation was practised, the human remains were usually placed in
an urn, but not always ; in Derbyshire, for instance, the late Mr. Bateman found
that each mound he excavated of a ** tumular cemetery " near Foremark Hall,
covered ** calcined human bones, which lay in the same place on the natural surface
as they occupied when the funeral pile was smothered out by the casting up of the
tumulus." The site was covered by about fifty barrows. The manufactured
objects found were very few and indeterminate, but sufficiently so to indicate that
the cemetery belonged to this era. The Saxon cinerary urns, like the British,
were hand-made and imperfectly fired, but their shape (more or less globular
with contracted mouth) and style of decoration were very oifiFerent. The site of a
cemetery containing a large number of these urns in a fragmentary condition was
discovered at King's Newton in 1867, and is described in the ** Refiquary " of the
time.
Pre-Nobman OB liATB Saxon REMAINS. — These consist chiefly of crosses and
architectural remains. According to the Rev. Dr. Cox, the earliest cross of this
period is an imperfect one in Taddington churchyard, which exhibits much Celtic
feeling in its ornamentation. The two finest specimens are at Eyam and
Bakewell. Fragments of others occur at the latter place, and at Hope, Black-
well, Spondon, Darley Dale, Aston-in-Trent, and St. Alkmund's, Derby. At
Wilne is a remarkable font, which has been made out of a portion of a carved
cylindrical pillar of pre-Norman age. The Rev. G. F. Browne, B.D., in a paper
opoD this font in the Derbyshire ArchsBological and Natural History Society's
** Journal," vol. vii, suggests that this pillar was the permanent "altar" on
which the itinerant Saxon priest placed the portable holy table during celebration.
Ill Wirksworth Church is an elaborate coped tombstone of this period, carved
with various scenes from the life of Christ ; and in the Weston Park Museum, at
Shefi&eld, is another with less detail, removed many years ago from Bakewell.
The finest specimen of pre-Norman architecture in the county is the shell of the
chancel at Repton, with the crypt below (Derbyshire Archseological and Natural
History Society's "Journal," vol. v.). To the same period may be attributed the
chancel arches of Sawley and Marston Montgomery, Long Eaton, and Stanton-
by-Bridge, and windows at Caldwell.
Medlbval EcclesioiiOGICAL Antiquities. — As the Rev. Charles J. Cox,
LL.D., is the supreme authority on this branch of Derbyshire archaeology, and
has given a summary of the "more remarkable features" of the old churches,
the liberty will be taken of quoting from him. "This county," he states,
"cannot for a moment pretend to vie with Somerset in its towers, with
Northamptonshire in its spires, with Norfolk or Suffolk in the size and beauty of
so many of their churches, or with Kent in the number of its brasses ; but this
can, I believe, be fairly claimed for Derbyshire, that no other part of the country
of the same size has anything like the same extensive variety of styles and
excellent specimens of every period, both in the ecclesiastical fabrics themselves
and in the monumental remains and other details they shelter."
The largest churches in the county are those of Ashbourne, Chesterfield,
Wirksworth, Tideswell, Bakewell, and Melbourne — all fine examples of mediaeval
cruciform churches, ranging from 120ft. to nearly 200ft. in length, and each, with
the exception ot Tideswell, surmounted with a tower or tower and spire at the
intersection of the transepts The spire of Chesterfield is not only the loftiest
(228ft.) in the county, but is one of the most remarkable in the kingdom. It is
of wood, covered with lead, which through faulty construction has become so
warped by the sun's heat as to assume a curious crooked twist. The graceful
proportions of the decorated spire of Ashbourne (2l2ft.) have brought it the
epithet, " The Pride of the Peak." The slender Perpendicular spire of Repton
(210ft.) is also of great beauty.
The ruined church of Steetley is the most beautiful Norman structure in
the county. Those of Melbourne and Whit well are more extensive and imposing
examples, but both exhibit much work of later periods. As a rule, where
Norman occurs in this county, it is in the nave-arcades, chancel-arches, and
B

Bakewell, Fenny Bentley, Kirk Langley, and Boulton (Derbyshire Archaao-
logical and Natural History Society's Journal, 1892). ** Low-side" windows
occur at Spondon, Church Broughton, Croxall, Eavenston, Breaston, Aston-on-
Trent, Weston-on-Trent, Clown, Dronfield, Barrow, and elsewhere. Traces of
mediaeval mural painted decorations or frescoes have been found in many of the
churches, but, as a rule, they cannot be described as more than mere traces.
At Haddon are remains of various diaper patterns and groups of figures, among
which the Holy Family is conspicuous. Others, less extensive, occur at Hault
Hucknall, Melbourne, Barrow, and Sudbury. The font at Ashover is a notable
lead one of the 12th century ; and that at Youlgreave is unique in England, in
having a holy-water stoup attached. There is a good 13th-century holy water
stoup at Chelmorton, and movable ones at Haddon, Boulton, and Barlborough
*'The old stained glass at either Morley or Norbury is well worth a pilgrimage, and
there is also much interest about the remains of glass at Eggington. The 14th
century pulpit at Mellor, carved out of the solid oak, is a unique relic. The stone
gospel lecterns against the chancel walls of Chaddesden, Crich, Etwall,
Taddington, Mickleover, and Spondon are of very exceptional occurrence. The
sedilia of Dronfield, Ilkeston, Money ash, Sandiacre, and Whit well are all
remarkably good exauiples. The stone chancel screens of Ilkeston and
Chelmorton, and the stone parclose in Darley Church, are most uncommon and
noteworthy " (Cox). Of the pre-Reformation bells, those of Marston-on-Dove,
Morley, Hathersage (sanctus bell), and Marston- Montgomery are the most
notable. The county does not contain a perfect mediaeval churchyard cross.
Except a 13th-century shaft at Dovebridge, they are of uncertain age, and rarely
consist of more than the steps and the socket-stone. At Wheston in the Peak is
an exquisite 14th-century way-side cross, almost perfect, restored some time ago
by the Duke of Norfolk.
" No county can compare with Derbyshire in the abundance of early incised
slabs, from the 10th century downwards. They are found built into the walls of
many of the churches, especially in North and East Derbyshire. The best
collections are at Bakewell, Darley, and Chelmorton. Effigies incised on slabs of
the local alabaster found at Chellaston are common in the South Derbyshire
churches, for the most part of the 15th and 16th centuries. There are remarkable
semi-effigial monuments at Brampton, Kedleston, Hartington, and Mack worth.
Early stone effigies are found at Darley Eggington, Ilkeston, Melbourne, Norbury,
Newton Solney, Sawley, Sudbury, Wingerworth, North Wingfield, Youlgreave,
4&C. There are some fine alabaster effigies at Ashbourne, Aston-on-Trent, Cubley,
Duffield, Kedleston, Longford, Newton Solney, Norbury, and Eadbourne. Owing
to the prevalence of stone, brasses are not common ; but there is an excellent
series at Morley, and some good ones at Ashover, Dronfield, Etwall, Hathersage,
Mugginton, Norbury, Sawley, Staveley, Tideswell, Walton-on-Trent, and
Wilne " (Cox).
The monastic remains of Derbyshire are few and not extensive. The
Sitched-up nave and 14th-century tower of the Premonstratensian Abbey of
eauchief now form the parish church of that place. The abbey of the same
order at Dale is richer in picturesque traditions than in visible vestiges. The
most conspicuous of its remains is the 13th-century east window arch ; the lower
courses, however, of much of the church are visible, having been excavated by
the Derbyshire ArchsBological Natural History Society (" Journal," vols. i. and
ii. ; Ward's " Dale and its Abbey.") The little building now used as a parish
church has an interesting history, and probably formed part of the infirmary of
this abbey in monastic times. It exhibits Norman, Early English, and
Perpendicular work. The range of Perpendicular windows, with their coeval
stained glass, in the north aisle at Morley, formed one side of the cloister ; and there
is much carved oak at Radbourne from this abbey. A few windows, incorporated
into cottages, mark the site of the chief monastic house of Derbyshire, the
Augustinian Abbey of Darley. The remains of the priory of the same order at
BeptOD vie with those of Dale in extent and interest. The western range of

DERBYSHIRE.— ITS PHYSIOGRAPHY AND POLITY.
Derbyshire, one of the most important of the Midland Counties, is situated
about the centre of England, and has for its boundaries the West Biding of York-
shire on the north, Leicestershire on the south, Nottinghamshire on the east, and
Cheshire and Staffordshire on the west. The boundary line is generally arbitrary,
excepting along the western side, where the rivers Trent, Dove, and Goyt form
the natural line of demarcation. Measured between its extreme points — Wood-
head Station, on the borders of Cheshire, and No Man's Heath, where the
counties of Derby, Stafford, Warwick, and Leicester meet — its length is 60
-miles, and its greatest breadth is 36 miles. The circuit of the county is about
170 miles, embracing within it an area of 1,025^ square miles or 656,243 acres,
and a population of 527,886, or 514 to the square mile. The following table
exhibits the population at each decennial enumeration since the commencement

No county of England, Cumberland and Westmoreland excepted, has a more
uneven and diversified surface than Derbyshire, and these bolder features of
nature are most conspicuously marked in the northern half of the county. Here
terminates the Pennine Chain, otherwise known as the '* Backbone of England,"
which stretches from the Cheviot Hills southward through the northern counties.
The chain enters Derbyshire with a diminishing elevation, and sinks into the
southern plain a little south of Matlock. From the axial line numerous spurs
branch off, with narrow valleys between, which impart to the district a wild and
rugged aspect. In some of these mountain glens the scenery is exquisitely
beautiiul, and scarcely surpassed by some of the much-praised views on the
Continent. These beauty spots of nature will be fully noticed under the parishes
in which they are situated.
The most elevated peaks of the Pen nines occur in the northern part of the
range — in Cumberland and Westmoreland — where some of the summits exceed
3,000 feet. In Derbyshire the chain culminates in two huge mountain masses
known as the High Peak and The Peak. Kinder Scout, the highest of the latter,
attains an altitude of 2,088 feet, and Bleaklow Head, in the former, reaches to a
height of 1,880 feet. The other lofty summits in this Alpine district are Axe
Edge, near Buxton, 1,810 feet; Mam Tor, Castleton, 1,709 feet; Lose Hill and
Win Hill, on the opposite banks of the river Noe, exceed 1,500 feet ; Combs Moss,
near Buxton, 1,670 feet; Chelmorton Low, 1,474 feet; Wardlow Hay Cop, near
Monsall Dale, 1,227 feet; White Edge, near Darley, 1,08 L feet; and the High
Tor, Matlock, 860 feet.
BiYBBS. — Derbyshire is well watered by numerous streams and rivulets which
originate amongst the hills of Peakland, and, after short courses through narrow
vaUeys and mountain glens, contribute their waters to swell some other river.
The largest river is the Trent, but Derbyshire can claim only a small portion of
its coarse. For a short distance it separates this county from Staffordshire on
the south-west, ani then flows eastward across the county to Castle Donnington
93 PHTSIOGBAPHY AND POLITY OF DERBYSHIRE.
P^rk, and thence for nine miles it forms the bomidary between Derbyshire and
Leicestershire, and Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, finally emptying itself into
the Hnmber. Into this river flow ten-thirteenths of all the waters of Derbyshire.
The older etymologists derived its name from the French trenU (thirty), from a
supposition that it had thirty tributary streams ; and thus Milton, in one of his
early poems, speaks of the
"' Trent, who like some earth-bom giant, spreads
ffi* thirty arms along the indented meads.'*
It has been, however, questioned whether the poet wrote thirty or thirsty, and
the latter wcHrd is printed in some editions.
The Derwent, though only a tributary of the Trent, is the principal river of
the county. It takes its rise on the north-eastern border, having its main source
at a place called Trough, in the gritstone ridge that separates Yorkshire from
Derbyshire ; and its course, about 46 miles, Ues wholly within the county. Taking
a southerly direction it flows through one of the wildest districts of the Peak,
receiving the waters of the Westend from Bleaklow Stones, and after passing the
secluded hamlet, to which it gives the name of Derwent, it unites with the A^op,
which drains all the hill countrv around Kinder Scout. Half a mile further on,
it receives the Ladybower brook from a narrow wooded ^en on the opposite side,
and flows thence through Bamford Vale, just skirting the eastern base of Win HilL
At Mytham Bridge it is joined by the Noe, which drains its waters from the
southern slopes of Kinder Scout ; thence its course is through a narrow valley
between loftv hills which are cleft into narrow cruUevs bv the streams that
pour down their wooded sides. Passing the village of Baslow, it flows through
Chatsworth Park to Rowsley, where it receives the Wye which drains the country
westward as far as Buxton. The Derwent continues its southward course through
the rich pastoral vale of Darley to Matlock, where it is margined by towering
rocks and lofty hills clothed with shrubs and trees. After leaving this romantic
vale it passes Cromford, and at Ambergate receives the river Amber formed of two
branches, one having its source near Ashover and the other near Sutton-in-
Ashfield in Nottinghamshire. It then flows on past the manufacturing villages of
Belper and Milford, and its waters lose much of the clearness which gave to the
river its Celtic name i>ifT Gurin, the bright clear water. It flows onwaid through
Derby, and about ten nules beyond, near the village of Wilne, its waters unite
with the Trent on the borders of Leicestershire. From its source to its con-
fluence with the Trent the scenery along its banks is varied and beautiful, and
merits aU the praise that has been bestowed upon it by various writers. Mr.
Bhodes, in his "Peak Scenerv,** has minutelv and elegantlv described the ever
changing beauty of the scene along its course : and Mr. Croston. in his interesting
and pleasantly written book. '* On Foot through the Peak/* thus sums up its
merits : — '* Though not possessing the queenly dignity of the Trent, nor diose
wild features that characterise and give interest to the Dove, the Derwent may,
nevertheless, challenge comparison with any river in the kingd<mi for the rich and
varied character of the scenery along its course. Generally its banks are well
wooded — the oak, the elm, and the wide-spreading sycamore mingling their rich
verdure with the more Hght and graceful foliage of the ash and the birch ; whilst
here and there, from amid the luxuriant masses of underwood that adorn its
sloping sides, the delicate stems of the osier, and the slender branches of the wild
honeysuckle, hang down to the water's edge, breaking its glassy surface into
innumerable ripples. The beauty of the stream is increased by the ever-changing
character of the currents : sometimes it bounds hurriedly on, leaping from crag to
crag in fairy-like cascades, throwing up the sparkling foam buMdes as it breaks
over the fragments of rock which have been toppled aown from the overhanging
clifls ; anon the troubled waves subside, and me current glides smoothly and
leisurely along its surface, scarcely broken by a ripple. But thon^ oflen g!entle»
it is never languid, never sluggish. In some nlaces it meanders pleyanti^
onwards over its peM>ly bed, its gentle mnimnis blending hannoiiioasty irith thie
rustling of the orershadowing trees."
PHYSIOGRAPHY AND POLITY OF DEBBYSHIBE. 23
The Dove^ the Queen of Derbyshire rivers, has its source in the southern
slopes of Axe-Edge, a gritstone ridge of considerable elevation, extending south-
ward from Buxton, and forms throughout its whole course the boundary between
Staffordshire and Derbyshire. The scenery around its source is wild and dreary ;
bleak, heath-covered hills, where but few trees can obtain a roothold, tower one
above another, culminating in Axe-Edge, 1,800 feet above the sea level, whence
is obtained a magnificent panoramic view of the surrounding country, extending
as far, it is said, as Lincoln Cathedral and Snowdon. The valley — the far-famed
Dovedale — through which the river flows, is generally narrow — a glen rather
than a valley — ^aud hemmed in by bold, lofty hills and precipitous rocks. In
places the current is rapid and boisterous, the water foaming and bubbling
amongst the fragments of rock that have fallen from the beetling cliffs above. A
few houses near the source bear the name of Dove-head^ and three miles further
south the river passes Chrome Hill and Tor Bock, an oddly-shaped stony mass,
with a natural arch of limestone near its summit. At Earl Sterndale the va'ley
is more contracted by the near approach of the elevated ridge on either side.
After passing the bridge on the road leading to Hartington the river enters
Beresford Dale, Near by, on the Staffordshire side, formerly stood Beresford
Hall, the early home of the Beresfords. From this family it passed to the
Stanhopes of Elvaston, whose daughter and heiress eloped with the thriftless
Cotton, and here is a cavern in the rock in which he often sought safety from
grasping creditors. A little further down is Pike Pool, with its tower-like mass
of rock, and close by is the ** little fishing house," erected by Cotton, the poet
angler, as a memento of his association with old Izaak Walton. On a stone
over the door is carved "PISCATORIBUS SACRUM, 1674." Here the two
spent much of their time, as recorded in ** The Complete Angler," and from that
date to the present the spot has ever been sacred to anglers. In many places in
his poems Cotton sings the praises of this river. Thus he says —
** O my beloved nymph, fair Dove,
Princess of rivers, how I love
Upon thy flowery banks to lie.
And view thy silver stream."
And again he writes —
" The rapid Garonne and the winding Seine
Are both too mean,
Beloved Dove, with thee
To vie priority ;
Nay, Tarn and Isis, when conjoined, submit,
And lay their trophies at thy silver feet."
The scenery is extremely beautiful ; lofty, craggy cliffs approach the edge of
the river, and huge detached masses of rock appear here and there to rise out of
the stream, each bearing a name descriptive of its form or appearance. A little
further on, the river passes between two rocky eminences, Bunster and Thorpe
Cloud, upwards of 1,000 feet in height, which form the entrance to the narrow,
gloomy ravine. The valley now expands, the scenery assumes a more pastoral
character, and after a course of forty-two miles the Dove empties itself into the
Trent at Newton Solney.
The Erewash rises on the borders of Sherwood Forest, in Nottinghamshire,
and during the greater part of its course it forms the bou^idary between that
county and Derbyshire. It passes the colliery village of Pinxton, and falls into
the Trent about a mile and a half from Long Eaton. The Mease is .another
tributary of the Trent, which it enters a little below Croxall, after a short course
from near Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The upper course of the Bother lies within the
county, extending from its source, near Chesterfield, to Beighton, where it enters
Yorkshire. The Goyt and the Etherow border the county on the west and north-
west, and, uniting their streams, become a tributary of the Mersey.

Bitumen is found in the carboniferous limestone, and it is to the presence of
this substance that black marbles owe much of their dark colour. Another and
very remarkable substance occasionally met with is Elastic Bitumen, or Mineral
Caoutchouc, found in the Windy Knoll quarry, near Castleton. This variety is
extremely rare, and there are only three or four places in the world where it has
been met with.
Water containing carbonic acid in solution has a solvent power over limestone
rocks, and to this erosive action is to be attributed the caverns and subterranean
water courses which form one of the wonderful sights of the Peak. These
caverns are numerous, but the most extensive and interesting are those at
Castleton, Matlock, and Buxton. The water, charged with carbonate of lime,
and percolating through the roofs and sides, has, in the course of ages, coated
them with innumerable sparkling stalactites, or carpeted the floor with a solid
mass of the glittering crystal. Some of these caverns are traversed by under-
ground streams of water, which sometimes journey on for miles before they issue
into the light of day. Sometimes streams suddenly disappear down stvallow-
holes or fissures, and are hidden from view until they emerge again, far away
from the place they entered. The beautiful rocky dales which form such an
important feature in Derbyshire scenery are supposed to have been caverns, whose
roofs have fallen in, or water courses, deepened by the erosive action of the water
continued through unnumbered centuries.
The Yoredale group of rocks, subsequent in their formation to the carboniferous
limestone, occupies a considerable tract lying to the north of Castleton ; another
band stretches from Ashbourne and Tissington eastward nearly as far as the
river Derwent. This group consists of shales, with thin beds of sandstones, and
black shales, with thin beds of black limestone. The hills do not attain so great
an altitude, nor is their contour so boldly marked, as in the limestone group.
The shale strata, on exposure to the air, disintegrate, and roll down the hillside.
One of these landslips may be seen on the flank of Mam Tor, or ShiveriTig
Mountain, as it is significantly called.
Millstone Grit forms an important feature in the strata of Derbyshire. It
consists of alternating beds of sandstones, or gritstones, and shales, with occa-
sionally a chin band of coal. These gritstones vary in character from fine
grained sandstone to a very coarse conglomerate. This formation extends from
Yorkshire southward through the centre of the county as far as Duj0&eld,
separating the carboniferous limestone from the coal measures. It forms the
mass of Kinder Scout, and it is again met with stretching round the north-
western comer of the county, from Burbage to Barrow Stones. This gritstone
has been formed from the disintegrated particles of granitic and other crystalline
rocks brought down by rivers, and deposited at the bottom of a somewhat
shallow sea, and afterwards upheaved by some mighty force within tlie earth.
These beds of grit vary from 80 to 150 feet in thickness, and are separated from
each other by beds of shale. It is not productive of minerals, but is extensively
quarried for building stone and mill stones. Water, which is only sparingly
louud in the limestone formation, is generally met with in abundance and of
excellent quality in the gritstone.
•
The Coal Measures stretch along the eastern side of the county, overlying the
Millstone Grit and forming part of the Midland coal-field. They consist of
alternating strata or beds of sandstones or flagstones, shales, clays, ironstones,
and coal. The seams or beds of 'the latter vary in thickness from a few inches to
seven or eight feet, and differ much in quality. A coal which is suitable for steam
purposes in one part of the area will oe more fitted for household purposes in
another; and that which is the mainstay of a colliery in one locality may be
barely traceable in another. The following table illustrates the position,
thickness, and order of occurrence of the various strata in a section of the
coal-field extending from Wingfield to the escarpment of the magnesia limestone,
a distance of nearly seven miles : —

From the above it will be seen that in a total thickness of 3,808 feet down to
the limestone grit there are about 40 feet of workable coal. The terms hard and
soft coal indicate their respective qualities, the former being adapted for steam
purposes and the latter for the household. The clod or black shale is a valuable
soam equivalent to the Silkstone of Yorkshire ; but the finest Derbyshire coal is
the Kilburne, which, for household use, will compare favourably with the best sea
coals of the Newcastle district. A small quantity of cannel coal is obtained from
the mines at Swanwick, Clay Cross, Renishaw, West Hallam, and a few other
places. The area of the Derbyshire coalfield is computed at 230 square miles.
Assuming there is an average workable thickness of 40 feet, the total amount of
coal within the area would be (computed on the basis that 29 cubic feet weigh
one ton) 8,832,000,000 tons. The average yearly output is about 9,000,000
tons.
Associated with the coal measures are bands of ironstone called " Bakes."
Many of these are very thin. The most important occur between the " Top
Ilanl " and •* Black Shale '* seams of coal, and yield from 2,000 to 7,000 tons of
ironstone per acre. This ironstone was formerly worked at several collieries to a
considerable extent, and produced excellent iron. The iron industry was introduced
into the county before 1740, in which year there were two furnaces making charcoal
?ig iron to the amount of 225 tons each. In 1780, a furnace was erected at Morley
'ark. in which coke was exclusively employed, and a few years later Mr. Francis
Hurt, the proprietor, introduced the steam engine to work the ** blast." About
the same time two furmvces were erected at Chesterfield, and these were followed
by works at Wingerworth, Staveley, and Dale Abbey. In 1792, furnaces were
ei*ectod at Butterlev and Renishaw, and others were built before the close of the
century. These furnaces used only Derbyshire ironstone, and the 12 furnaces
in opon\tion in 1796 produced 9,656 tons of pig iron. In 1855 there were 24
furnaces in blast out of a total of 33, and the amount of pig iron made that year
was 116,550 tons; in 1870 there were 43 furnaces, <rf which 30 were in blast,
producing 179.772 tons. In 1880 the number of furnaces was 54, of which 14
were idle, and the pig iron made amounts! to 366.792 tons. Since that time there
has boon considerable depression in the iron trade, and the annual production now
only amounts to 343,115 tons. The local ironstone has been almost entirely
superseded by the more easily reducible ores of Konhamptonshire and other
places, and now something less than 6,000 Ions of ironstone is raised per
annum.

The sandstones of the coal measures yield good huilding stone, and flagstones
for flooring and roofing. The clays are also applied to various purposes, bricks
are made on an extensive scale, and pottery, either plain or artistic, is manu-
factured at Brampton, Newbold, Langley Mill, Denby, and Swadlincote.
The Magnesian limestone of the Permian series stretches along the north-
eastern border of the coal measures. This rock consists of an upper and lower
limestone divided from each other by red marls and sandstones. The upper
stratum is thin and of no economic value, but the lower limestone, which
attains a thickness of about 100 feet, produces some of the most durable building
stone in the kingdom. Southwell Cathedral, built in Norman times of stone
from Bolsover Moor, is still in excellent preservation. The new Houses of
Parliament and the Museum of Practical Geology, in Jermyn Street, London,
are modern instances of its use. An analysis of this stone shows that its
components are silica 3*6, carbonate of lime 51-1, carbonate of magnesia 40*2,
iron alumina 1*8, and water and loss 3*3. Professor Bamsay states that ** The
best varieties of magnesian limestone are those in which there is at least 40 per
cent, of carbonate of magnesia, and 4 or 5 per cent, of silica."
Beds of gypsum, or alabaster, occur amongst the red marls of South
Derbyshire. It is found in immense quantities at Ghellaston, where many tons
are quarried annually and exported to various places as plaster of Paris. It is
also extensively used in sculpture and for ornamental purposes in architecture.
The gypsum bed is about 14 feet thick, and is covered by 30 or 40 feet of marl.
A fibrous kind called satin stone is found at Sawley And one or two other places.
When cut and polished it is much admired.
Climatb. — The climate of Derbyshire is considerably influenced by local
circumstances. In the north-west, where the whole surface is elevated into bold
hills and lofty moorlands, the climate is colder and the winters of longer
duration than in the low plain occupying the south and east of the county.
The rainfall also is greater. In the south the yearly average fall varies from
about 20 to 33 inches, whilst in the hilly north it varies from 40 to 50 inches ;
and the number of days on which rain falls is also relatively greater. The
quantity is influenced by the situation. At Buxton, 1,000 feet above the sea
level, and surrounded by still higher ground, the rainfall ranges from 5 to 10
inches above the average of the district.
Soil and Agriculture. — The soil varies in different places according to the
prevailing strata of the district. On the shaly gritstone €ract stretching from
Glossop to Woodlands, and southwards to Mam Tor, the soil is poor and yields
but a scanty herbage. On the new red sandstone that occupies all that part of
the county lying south of a line drawn from Ashbourne to Sandiacre, the land is
red marl, with patches of gravel. The marly portions form excellent agricultural
land, being rich in alum, magnesia, potash, soda, iron, and phosphate of lime, so-
necessaxy for the growth of cereals and other crops. On the Coal and Iron
Measures the soil is inclined to clay and varies much in quality, being in some
places good loam and in others very inferior land; and these extremes may be
occasionally met vrith on the same farm. In the river valleys the soil is chiefly
aUnvial.
The farms vary much in size in different parts of the county, but taken ont
an average they rim about 40 acres, which is about 18 acres below the average
size of English farms in general.
The total area of the county, including water surface, is 656,243 acres, and
the told quantity of land under all kinds of crops (exclusive of nursery grounda
and woods), bare fallow and grass is 514,573 acres, which are held by 13,371
occupiers, of whom 11,559 rent the land, 1,204 are owners, and 608 both
reni and own land. Tlie following table from the "Agricultural Beturns of
Great Britain" exhibits the extent of land under the various kinds of crops in
1890:—

From the above table u will be seea that the land is chiefly in meadow or

Government and Divisions. — After the consolidatioa of the kingdom, the
fiiaxoD MoDarchs found it necessary to appoint officers to assist them in the
maintenance of their authority. These officers were called Ealdormen, and the
districts committed to their care were, in the first instance, probably coincident
with those over which the kings of the heptarchy had rule(? These governors
became, from the extent of their territories, dangerously powerful and aggressive.
The earldom of Northumbria stretched from the Humber nearly to the Forth ;
and Mercia and Wessex, though both less extensive, were scarcely less powerful,
and not unfrequently endangered the existence of the monarchy. Subsequent
kings abridged the power of these ealdormen by a sub-division of their earldoms,
aria hence oritrinated our shires. During Danish ascendancy the title was
changed into jarl or eorle, an equivalent term in their language. The Normans
BiihHti luted the name count, and the shire or district over which he ruled was
called a county, which term remains in use to the present day. But the title is
now one of honour and dignity only, unconnected with county government. The
frequent attendance of the earls on the king's person necessitated the
aj)pointrrient of a deputy, or vice comes, styled in Saxon phraseology,, shire-
reeve, who probably at first acted only in the earl's absence, but subsequently to
him waH committed the whole burden of county government. In the early period
of our hiHtory the sheriffs continued in office for a number of years, and some-
timcH for the whole term of their life ; but since the 28th Edward III. (1354), the
appointment has been made annually,' and is held directly by letters patent from
the Crown. The usual mode of election is for the judges, having met in the
Exchequer Chamber on the morrow of St. Martin (Nov. 12), to return the names
•of throe perBons, residents in the county, to the king, who, with a small
PHYSIOGRAPHY AND POLITY OF DERBYSHIRE. 29
instrumeiii, pricks the name of one of the three, usually the first on the list, as
sheriff. His duties are onerous and his powers extensive.
In his judicial capacity the sheriff presided in the county court upon all
causes of 40s. value and under; hut this duty has heen modified hy the
estahlishment of county court judgeships. By the sheriff all county meetings are
summoned ; and he decides the elections of knights of the shire and of coroners.
As the keeper of the king's peace he takes precedence of the highest nohle in the
shire, and is armed with such ample powers for the defence of the county against
the king's enemies, that he may command all the people residing within it to
attend him : these form the posse comitatus. In his ministerial capacity he
executes all writs and other processes directed to him from the courts; he
summons and returns all juries, and is responsible for the due execution of the
judgment of the courts, both civil and criminal. As the king's bailiff he must
strictly guard the rights of the Grown within his bailiwick ; he must seize all lands
devolving on the Crown by attainder or escheat, levy all fines and forfeitures, and
take care of all waifs and strays, &c. To execute these various duties, the sheriff
is aided by several officers of inferior rank, an under-sheriff, coroners, justices of
the peace, a county treasurer, a clerk of the peace, sheriff's officers, and
constables.
Henry VIII., in the early years of his reign, created a new office, the
Lieutenancy, which gradually superseded the ancient commission of array, in
levying and organising the local troops in the various counties. The holder of
the office is styled the Lord Lieutenant, who may be regarded as the chief
magistrate of the county, in whom is vested the entire control of the militia and
the selection of the officers. The appointment is one of the privileges of the
Crown, but the honour is rarely conferred upon any but supporters of the
existing Government. The office, which is held during pleasure, became general
throughout the country about 1549.
To render more certain and easy the due administration of the law and the
maintenance of peace and order, each shire was sub-divided into smaller portions,
which are variously named in different localities. In Yorkshire they are called
Wapentakes ; but Derbyshire and the greater number of counties were divided
into tithings and hundreds y each word being definitive of the number of free men,
hotiseholders, and their families within the division. A tithing was the portion
allotted to ten families, and twelve tithings (120 the Saxon hundred) constituted
a hundred. Hereunder we enumerate the hundreds, and the parishes and

County Council. — This body was constituted in accordance with the
provisions of the Local Government Act of 1888, which decreed that in every
administrative county, as defined by the act, an elective body called a County
Council shall be established, which shall be entrusted with the management of
the s^ministrative and financial business of the county, hitherto transacted by
the magistrates at the Quarter Sessions. Under this Act, Derbyshire is divided
into 53 electoral divisions, each of which returns one councillor, except GIossop,
which has three, and Chesterfield, Ilkeston, Alfreton, Belper and Heage, and
Eckington, two each. The borough of Derby is by this Act a separate
administrative county, under the title of county borough. Each council consists
of a chairman, aldarmen (one-half of whom retire in rotation every third year),
and councillors. The Act came into operation on the 1st of April, 1889, and the
elections are triennial. An extension of this principle of local government was
carried out by the passing of the Parish and District Councils Act of 1894, which
enacted that in every rural parish having a population of 300 or upwards a
council shall be elected for the management of parochial affairs ; and that
parishes having less than 300 inhabitants may be grouped with others for
purposes of the act, the united population being not less than 300. The elections
are annual, and the term of office commences on the 15th day of April in each
year.

ECCLESIASTICAL GOVERNMENT AND DIVISIONS.
Derbyshire was formerly part of the diocese of Lichfield and Coventry. In
1884 the counties of Derby and Nottingham were detached from the dioceses of

for the king's use, by a few royal soldiers, despatched to Ashover to watch the
roads. He suffered still more from a company of Gromweirs dragoons, who took
possession of the hall in the name of the parliament, and after failing to blow it-
down by three small pieces of ordnance placed on Fabric Hill, they accomplished
its destraction by firing a barrel of gunpowder in the tower. ** After that," says
the reverend gentleman in a letter to his cousin, Mr. William Bourne, Manchester,
" they sang a psalm and marched to the church. The scout. Master Smedley,
ascended the pulpit and preached for two hours, about popery, priestcraft, and
kingcraft, then singing a psalm were preparing to go, when one of the pioneers
noticed the stained-glass window exhibiting the Crucifixion, and once belonging to
the Eeresbys, which they smashed, both glass and stonework. The prayer-book,
surplice, and registers they carried to the Market Place, where they were publicly
burnt. Wheatcroft, my parish clerk, wrote the following rhymes : —
* The Roundheads oame down upon Eastwood Old Hall,
And they tried it with mattock and tried it with ball,
And they tore ofi the lead work and splintered the wood,
But as firmly as ever the battlements stood,
Till a barrel of powder at last did the thing.
And then they sang psalms for the fall of the king.' "
When the royal cause became utterly hopeless, he gave his influence to the
Boundheads, and was rewarded with an appointment as Commissioner of
Sequestration. He was determined not to sacrifice his rectories (he held also
Aylestone in Leicestershire) for a few abstract opinions, and accepted all the
ordinances of the Puritans, laying aside both surplice and prayer-book, and
leaving the celebration of marriages to the civil power. When episcopacy was
re-established, he discarded his Presbyterianism and complied with tbe Act of
Uniformity, passed in 1662.
The hall is now a picturesque ivy-covered ruin, its huge fire-place, still
intact, at which four oxen might be roasted abreast, telling of the hospitality of
our old Eoglish forefathers.
The Old Hall manor was conveyed in 1337 to Roger de Wynfield, and
subsequently passed by marriage to the Bollestons. The male line of this family
failed in the reign of EUzabeth, and the estate descended to the Pershalls, of
Horsley, Staffordshire. It was subsequently sold in portions.
Muster's manor also belonged to the Wynfields, who resided at Edelstowe
Hall. In later years the hall and estate belonged to a branch of the Gladwin
family ; they passed thence by an heiress to the Bournes, from whom they were
purchased in 1808, by Mr. John Milnes, of Ashover. The hall, which has long
been converted into a farmhouse, is now the property of Mr. John Twigg, of
Amber House.
Pierepont's manor came to the Babingtons, from whom it was purchased by
the Beresbys, and was sold with the other estates of Sir Thomas Beresby in
several portions.
The parish is watered by the Amber river, from which the ground on either
side rises steeply into lofty rugged hills, fir and pine-clad in places, the bare flinty
rock protruding in others, or lying scattered in huge masses along the hill sides.
One of these stones, called by the country people Bobin Hood's Mark, measures
26 feet in circumference, and is supposed to weigh about 14 tons. Its extraor-
dinary position favours the opinion that it was so placed by art ; but how this was
accomplished in prehistoric times, when tbe inhabitants of this country had
scarcely advanced beyond the initial stage of civilisation, is a mystery that will
probably never be solved. Near this is another rocking stone, designated the
Tiiffting Stone, which is supposed to have been in some way connected with
Dmidical worship. Another mass of rock, which stands prominently out from
the general outline of Overton Tor, has been named Gladstone's Nose from its
fancied resemblance to the nasal organ of that veteran statesman. This scene of
nigged grandeur is scarcely surpassed by any other in the country ; and were it
more easily accessible it would doubtlessly receive a much greater bhare of
attention from tourists and others in search of the beautiful.

appeared to have been buried indiscriminately, as if hastily, and many of them
were in good preservation, but no other relics were found to show how or when
the interments took place. About thirty yards distant some coins, bearing the
date 1742, were also turned up.
At the base of the hills, opposite Overton Hall, is Baven*s Nest — an estate
purchased by Mr. John Gregoiy in 1600, and it is now the property of hia
descendant, Mr. John Bassett Gregory, to whom we acknowledge our indebtedness
for much interesting information. Veins of lead occur among the flinty hills, and
mining operations were carried on at the Gregory mines for many years. The
enterprise was for some years unremunerative, but during the second half of the
18th century, when improved machinery had been introduced, the mine proved a
little El Dorado, and yielded the proprietors from £12,000 to £20,000 yearly.
The mines were finally closed in 1804. The mounds of white sparry debris,,
looking like acres of snow, have been sifted again and again for ore, and the
remains are now carted away for use in the manufacture of glass and china.
Stuhhen Edge Hall is an ancient mansion one and a half miles south-east
from Ashover. The hall, with a considerable portion of land, formerly belonged
to the family of Crich, but in the reign of Elizabeth it became the property of
William Dakeyne, who married the widow of William Criche. Cornelius Criche,
the last of the family, died, in reduced circumstances, in 1789, at the age of 102,
and is buried in the chancel of the church. William Dakeyne married for his-
second wife, Katherine Strange, maid of honour to Mary Queen of Scots, whom
she attended on the scaffold. There is a tablet in Ashover Church to several
members of this family, headed by " Gulielm . Dakeyn . Norroy." But it does
not appear that William Dakeyn^ever held the position of Norroy King-at-Arras-
of the Herald's College ; another William Dakeyn, grandson of the above, was
apprehended by warrant for issuing false pedigrees and grants of arms. The-
estate remained in the possession of this family till 1720, when Frances, only
daughter and heiress of Arthur Dakeyn, married William Hopkinson, of Bonsall.
It subsequently passed through various hands to the Milneses, and was-
purchased from the Exors. of the late William Milnes, in 1874, by J. P. Jackson^
Esq., J. P., the present owner.
Kelstedge is a hamlet one-and-a-quarter miles north-west from Ashover.
Here is the large saw and turning mills of Cundy Brothers. Alton is a village
one mile north-east. In the neighbourhood are several gritstone quarries.
Ghabities. — John Thommon^ late of Dove Cote, Ashover, in 1881 gave £500 (consols), the
dividends to be appropriated annually (1) in providing prizes, bibles and prayer books, for
proficiency in Scripture knowledge, good attendance and good conduct for children at the day
and Sunday sohocus; (2) in six sums of 20a. each to destitute poor not receiving parish
reUef ; and (3) the residue of the income to be distributed in sums of 5s. each to aged poor
parighioners. Mrs, Ann Kaye Jackson, in 1880, left the dividends of £200 (consols) to be-
distributed in warm clothing, or otherwise, at the discretion of the rector and churchwardens.
Mrs. Waterhouse, in 1884, left £4 168. 8d. yearly to be distributed at Christmas amongst the
poor who are church-goers. The sum of £6 128. lid. is received yearly from the Rev. F.
Gisbome's Flannel Charity; and there are other small bequests amounting to about £4 10s.

by new seats, and the bells adjusted. The chancel floor is laid with tesselated
tUes, arranged in a pretty desigo, and the communion table is of marble and
Caen stone. The south aisle extends along the side of the chancel, forming a
south chapel, where there was formerly an altar ; and there was probably another
at the east end of the north aisle. In the south chapel is the altar- tomb of
Anne, first wife of Sir William Cavendish, afterwards Earl of Devonshire. She
died in 1598, and the monument was erected by her son William, the second
earl, in 1627. Near this is a black marble slab covering the bones of Thomas
Hobbes, of Malmsbury, who was tutor to two Earls of Devonshire, and resided
with the family till his death in 1679, at the age of 91. He was a famous
philosopher, and the author of several works ; but his thoughts were so far in
advance of the age in which he lived that many regarded him as an atheist, and
Parhament in 1665 passed a censure on his writings. His principal work was
the celebrated ''Leviathan," which is full of paradoxical doctrines. He was
al80 the author of a descriptive Latin poem on the wonders of the Peak, called
*' De Mirabihbus Pecci.'' The east window of the chancel and the west window
of the south aisle were filled with stained glass by the tenants of Hardwick
estate and other friends in memory of the late John Gregory Cottingham,
steward to the sixth and seventh Dukes of Devonshire. He died in 1878. The
font, a beautiful piece of work in white and variegated marble, was given by the
late Bev. Canon Cottingham, brother of the above. In the west end of the nave
is a Norman doorway, now built up, having a tympanum, and another bearing
very quaintly-carved allegorical figures. There are five bells in the tower, all of
16th and 17th century dates. The registers commence in the year 1660, but are
defective in the early portion. A new burial ground, half-an-acre in extent,
opposite the church, was laid out in 1887.
The church of "Hokenhair* formed part of the endowment of Newstead
Priory, Nottinghamshire, and the living was in the gift of the prior of that house
till the Beformation. In 1544 Henry VIII. granted the advowson of the vicara.ge
and the rectorial tithes to Sir Francis Leake, and they were purchased from his
descendant, the last Earl of Scarsdale, by the Duke of Devonshire. The living
valued in the King's Book at £6 Os. 5d., is now worth £145 net with residence,
and is held in conjunction with Heath by the Eev. F. Broadhurst, M.A.
Hardwick is an estate and manor on the border of Nottinghamshire. It was
given by ELing John to Andrew de Beauchamp in 1203 ; it afterwards belonged
to the Savages, of whom it was held by the Stainsbys, by the annual render of
three pounds of cinnamon, and one of pepper. Subsequently it came into the
possession of the Hardwicks. Elizabeth, better known as " Bess of Hardwick,"
third daughter and co-heiress of John Hardwick, Esq., brought this manor to her
second husband, Sir William Cavendish, from whom it has descended to the
Duke of Devonshire. The celebrated Bess was led four times to the hymeneal
altar, and by each marriage she increased her wealth and influence. Her last
husband was the Earl of Shrewsbury, to whose custody the beautiful but much
maligned Mary Queen of Scots was entrusted by a jealous and cruel sister queen.
She built Hardwick Hall, and her initials "E.S." appears in the carved stonework
that crowns the towers.
The hall is seated on an eminence commanding an extensive and varied
prospect, and was built from stones quarried out of the hill-side. The beholder
is at once impressed by the magnitude of the mansion and the number of
windows, and he realizes the truth of the distych —
'* Hardwick Hall, more glass than wall."
It stands now much the same as it was when Bess of Hardwick was the presiding
genius of the place, a new wing and servants' offices being the only change made
for a very long time. The Entrance Hall is a noble apartment, with a gallery at
the west end. The walls are hung with fine modem tapestry, and facing the
entrance is a beautiful life-size statue of Mary Queen of Scots, by Westmacott.
The Chapely on the first floor, contains the curious old chairs and cushions covered
with very fiine needlework. The Dining Boom is a spacious apartment, wainscoted

children. It is also ased as a Sunday school, and church service is held in it on
the Sunday evenings. The village feast is held on the Sunday before Midsummer
Day.
Rowthome is an ancient manor and village, one mile east from the church.
Near by is a station on the Doe Lea extension of the Midland Eailway for Bow-
ihome and Hardwick. There are three passenger trains daily each way, and on&
goods train. l!Vom Glapwell Station to Bowthome the gradient is 1 in 50, and
up this steep ascent only thirteen wagons of coal dan be brought at one time, and
sometimes not even that number. A school was erected here in 1855. It id now
under the Ault Hucknal School Board, and is attended by about 60 children.
The manor of Bugetom (Bowthorne) at the time of the Domesday Survey
belonged to Boger Busli. It was afterwards held by the family of Tilly, whose
heiress married Savage. Bobert de Lexington, in the reign of Henry III.,
conveyed the manor to the Priory of Newstead. After the dissolution of the
priory at the Beformation it was granted to Boger Greenhalgh ; and in 1563 it
was vested in his co-heiress. A few years afterwards it was conveyed, probably
by piu*chase, to Sir William Cavendish, ancestor to the present noble owner.
Stainsby is an ancient manor and small village one mile west from the
church. A school was erected about SOyears ago by the Duke of Devonshire, in
lieu of one that stood near Hardwick Hall. It has been under the management
of the School Board since 1890, and is attended by 107 boys. It is endowed with
20 acres of land, left by Thomas Whitehead, in 1720, to the school formerly at
Hardwick.
The manor of Stainsby was given by William the Conqueror to Boger de
Poictou. In the reign of King John it came into the family of Savage, who held
it by the service of rendering annually a sore hawk, that is a hawk of the first
year. Sir John Savage was knighted at the battle of Agincourt, and his grandson,
Thomas Savage, was transferred from the bishopric of London to the archi-
episcopal see of York in 1501. He was more of a courtier and a sportsman than
an ecclesiastic, and it is said of him that his chief delight was " in the sound of
the huntsman's horn and the baying of his dogs." The manor remained with his
faunily till 1580, when Sir John Savage conveyed the estate to Lord Chancellor
Bromley, by whom it was transferred to Sir William Cavendish. There was,
according to tradition, an ancient chapel here, but not a trace of it now remains.
A School Board of seven members was formed in 1890 for the united distriot
of Ault Hucknall, Glapwell and Heath, and the various schools were taken over
on the 1st of November, 1890.
Ghabttiks. — WUHam Derry, in 1794, left all his personal property, amounting to £59 Ss. lOd.^
for the benefit of the poor. The money was invested in the three per cent, consols, and the
dividends (£3 Ss. 6d.) are given to the poor. The sum of £5 lOs. is received from the Rev.

one bell. The stained east window is a memorial of Thomas Milnes Smith-
Milnes and his wife, and there are also memorial windows to Miss Margaret
Smith, of Dunston Hall, and Elizabeth Mary Shipton, daughter of a late
incumbent. The ancient monuments have almost all disappeared. Fixed against
the wall is a stone coffin lid, on which is sculptured in relief a floriated cross of
elegant design. There is a much worn inscription in Norman French to the
memory of Juliana, wife of Adam Fraunceis, and an indulgence of 40 days to all
who should offer up a prayer for her soul. There is no date, but it is believed to
belong to the 13th century. One monument to the Barley family remains — an
alabaster slab, bearing the full length figures of a man, in plate armour, and his
wife, under pointed canopies. It once covered the tomb of Robert Barley, who
died in 1467, and Margaret his wife, parents of Robert Barley, the first husband
of the famous Bess of Hardwick. The registers date back to 1573. The living
is a perpetual curacy, in the gift of the rector of Staveley, and held by the Rev.
Cornelius Dyson, M.A. Its gross annual value is £192, with residence, erected
by the Duke of Rutland in 1824, and enlarged in 1872.
New schools, with teacher's house, were built in 1872, by subscription, at
a cost of £750, exclusive of the site, which was given by the Duke of Rutland.
There are two departments, mixed and infants, with a total accommodation for
166 children. It is endowed with £2 148. yearly, left by Susannah Stephenson in
1752. ** Evening Continuation Schools" are also carried on.
The Primitive Methodists have a chapel at Commonside, built by subscription
in 1893, at a cost of £408 ; and there is also a United Methodist Free Church,
built in 1867, at a cost of £430. It is in the Whittington circuit.
About three-quarters of a mile south of the village is Bole Hill, commanding
extensive views of the surrounding country, including, it is said, 20 parish
churches. Montgomery, the poet, who was for some time the editor of the
Sheffield Iris, has sung the praises of **Bole Hill Trees.'* A day and boarding
school was conducted here by the late Mr. Edward Straw for a period of 50
years.
Barlow Woodseats Hall, two miles N.W. from the church, was formerly the
residence of the Pranceys family, one of whom is commemorated by a monument
in the church. It is now the property of Mrs. Thorold, of Welham Hall, Retford,
and has long been occupied as a farnihouse.
There are in the parish several scattered hamlets, the names of which are
given in the directory.
Charities. — ^Robert Mower, in 1775, left the sum of 20s. yearly for the poor. Poor housekeepers
receive £6 Is. Sd. from the bequest of Thomas Stephenson, and £4 7s. from the rent of land,
left by Susannah Stephenson. The sum of £6 lis. is received from the Rev. F. Oisbome's
Flannel Charity, and £2 15s. 4d. yearly from the bequest of Isaac Tomlinson for deserving poor
attending the parish church. There «re also two small charities amounting to 21s. yearly, left
hy John Grashaw and John Bargh.

HutiOQ assigns the honour to Derby ; whilst others claim Canterbury as the place
of his birth. The family appears to have become extinct about the year 1600.
The hall was the residence of Boger Foljambe in 1526. The house is now
occupied by a farmer. The Chesterfield Waterworks Company have two
reservoirs at Linacre, constructed in 1855-6. The fishing rights are reserved by
the Duke of Devonshire, lord of the manor. Wadshelf, Wadescel in Domesday
Book, took its name from Wade, the Saxon owner, who lived in the reign of
Edward the Confessor. At the time of the Norman survey the manor belonged
to Walter Deincourt, and subsequently it was given by the Musards to Beauchief
Abbey. The village is small, and is situated at the south-west extremity of the
parish. There is a mission room here. A Wesleyan chapel was erected in 1834,
and was thoroughly renovated in 1894. Wigley, a small village half-a-mile north
from Wadshelf, was the original home of the Wigleys, who, subsequently in the
15th century, were settled at Wigwell and Middleton. Belmont, a fine old
mansion with a tower, surrounded by a park, is the residence of J. E. and W. M.
Manlove, Esqrs. ; and Hall Cliffe is occupied by Mr. James Potter. The old hall,
taken down in 1872, bore the initials and date, T. W., 1683, on the overmantel.
The populous district of Brampton Moor and New Brampton was included in
the borough of Chesterfield by the Borough Extension Bill, which received the
Boyal assent June 28, 1892.
Charities.— Endowments, fiunounting to £9 8s. yearly, have been left to the school by various
persons ; but since the adoption of the Free Education Act in 1892, the money accruing from
these bequests is in the hands of the bankers awaiting disposal by the Charity Commissioners.
The dividends from Sir Gilbert Clarke's bequest, left in 1701, amount to £5 10s. yearly, of which
three-eighths is received by the vicar, two-eighths by the poor, and the remainder by the school.
A rent-charge of £10, out of land at Freebirch, is divided as follows: — To the minister,
£3 198. 6d. ; school, £1 15s. ; poor, £4 Ss. John Akroyd, in 1705, gave £300, which was invested

BRIMINGTON.
Brimington, an ancient chapelry of Chesterfield, was, by an Order of Council
(3rd Septeniber, 1844), constituted a distinct parish for all civil and ecclesiastical
purposes. Its area, according to the Overseers' returns, is 1,373 acres, the
ratable value £7,983, and the population in 1891 was 4,034. It is in Scarsdale
hundred, Chesterfield petty sessional division, county court district, union, rural
district and deanery ; and gives a name to a county council electoral divioion.
Under the Local Government Act of 1894, ten parish councillors and one district
councillor have been assigned to Brimington. The Midland, and the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire railways pass through the parish, and on the latter is
Brimington and Sheepbridge Station, about three quarters of a mile distant from
the church ; the nearast station on the Midland is Whittington, about one mile
distant. J. J. Barrow, Esq., Holmewood, Kent, is lord of the manor and an
extensive landowner ; the other proprietors are E. S. P. Burnell, Esq., Winkburn
Hall, near Southwell; Mr. John Lingard, Brimington ; B. F. Mills, Esq., C.C,
.Tapton Grove, Chesterfield ; and Mr. Charles Baker, Barlborough.
At the time of the Domesday Survey, Brimington was a berewick of
Newbold, then in the hands of the king. For several generations it was held by
the owners of the manor of Chesterfield, and then passed successively through
the families of Breton, Loudham, and Foljambe. From the latter it was
purchased, about the year 1800, by John Dutton, Esq.; and it subsequently
passed into the possession of the Barrow family.
The village is situated on the Barlborough road, two miles south from
Chesterfield. The old chapel, dedicated to St. Michael, was pulled down (with
the exception of the tower) in 1808, and rebuilt at a cost of £850 ; the tower
having been previously rebuilt by Joshua Jebb in 1796. It was again rebuilt and
enlarged, and the tower considerably raised, in 1846. There is sitting accommo-
dation for 572, and 365 seats are free and unappropriated in consequence of a
grant of £200 from the Incorporated Society for Building Churches. The interior
of the roof was repaired in 1892, and the chancel arch re-decorated at a cost of
£130, by subscription. The east window — a memorial of the late Mrs. Mills, of
Tapton Grove — ^was inserted in 1894. The living is a rectory, worth £200 yearly
(with residence), in the gift of the vicar of Chesterfield, and held by the Bev.
E. E. Blumhardt, B.A. There is a Mission Church — a corrugated iron structure —
dedicated to St. Mary, on Brimington Common, in charge of the curate, the
Bev. L. S. Currey, B.A.
The first Nonconformist chapel was erected by the Wesleyans in 1806. A
new school chapel was erected in 1881, at a cost of £660. The structure is also
used tor lectures, entertainments, &o. The Primitive Methodists have chapels at
Brimington, New Brimington, and Brimington Common; and there is also a
United Methodist Free Church, built in 1861.
CHESTEBFIELD. 63
of the winds and weather are painfully apparent in various parts of the edifice
where the stones are mouldering away. The registers commence in 1558, and
under the date October, 1586, is written '' Here began the great plague of
Chesterfield," and uhe pestilence made its appearance again in 1608. The
living is a vicarage worth £300 per annum, formerly in the gift of the Dean of
lincoln, now in the patronage of the Bishop of Southwell, and held by the Hon.
and Rev. G. J. Littleton, M.A.
In connection with the church there was formerly a guild dedicated to "Our
Blessed Ladye and the Holy Crosse," founded in the reign of Eichard I., and
endowed with lands and tenements worth £19 yearly, for the maintenance ot two
or three priests to celebrate Mass and other Divine services. These guilds were
societies or fraternities instituted for the protection of trade, the individual rights
of the members, and the support of needy brethren. They consisted of employers
and employes, and were, in fact, the prototypes of the modern trades unions,
differing only in this, that they possessed all the advantages of the latter, without
their evils. There were also in the church two chantries dedicated respectively
to St. Mary Magdalen and St. Michael; and the guild had its chapel of the
Holy Cross.
There were within the town and in the immediate vicinity, other chapels and
religious houses, but these were swept away at the Reformation. The Hospital of
St. Leonard, which was devoted to the care of lepers, stood near the Bother, on a
aite which still bears the name of Spittal. The chapel of St. Helen stood on the
site of the present grammar school; another, dedicated to St. Thomas, was
situated in Holywell Street, and a third was at Lord's Mill Bridge.
The church of All Saints' sufficed for the wants of the town until 1837, when
Holy Trinity Church was erected on Newbold Boad. This edifice is a neat Gothic
structure consisting of a very small chancel, nave, and a western tower. The
latter is surmounted by an arcaded parapet with corner pinnacles, and contains a
dock and one bell. The site was given by the Duke of Devonshire, and the total
cost of erection was £3,700. In 1889 the sum of £1,500 was expended in repairs
and improvements. The organ was the gift of Dr. Hart, and cost £250. The
chancel is Ughted by three handsome stained glass windows, the central one being
a memorial of George Stephenson, of railway celebrity, who died at Tapton House
in 1846, and lies buried here. The parish comprises parts of Chesterfield,
Newbold, and Tapton. The living is a rectory worth £310 a year, with residence,
in the gift of three trustees, and held by the Bev. Noel Lake Aspinall, M.A.
Christ Church, a chapel-of-ease to Holy Trinity Church, situated at Stone
Gravels, was erected in 1869. It is a small edifice of stone in the Norman style,
consisting of chancel and nave, with bell turret. Adjoining is a burial ground.
There is also a Mission Boom in Albert Street.
The Catholic Church, dedicated to St. Mary of the Annunciation, is a
substantial stone edifice in the Gothic style, and considerably enlarged about
20 years ago, at a cost of £5,000. The tower remains incomplete through lack of
funds. The interior comprises sanctuary, nave, and north and south aisles, each
divided from the nave by six arches. A noble Gothic arch forms the entrance to
the sanctuary, where stands the high altar, flanked on either side by statutes of
the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph. The altar with its high pinnacled tabernacle
is plain but graceful ; and behind it is a beautiful pictorial window, inscribed '' To
the glory of God. W. P. Arkwright, of Sutton Scarsdale, and Agnes Mary, his
wife, 1884. Pray for us." On the south side of the high altar is the Lady altar,
ornamented with curiously carved figures on oak panels. A statue of our Saviour
stands at the right hand side of the chancel arcb. This is an exquisite piece of
sculpture in marble and cost £120 ; at the opposite side is the pulpit of marble
and gritstone, elaborately carved. At the east end of the south aisle is the altar
of St. Joseph, and above it is a stained glass window displaying St. George and
St. AugOBtine, a memorial of Anthony and Mary Payton. Along the north wall
are St. Ignatius, the Blessed Virgin, and the Pieta. The gallery at the west end
oontaiDS a handsome Qxgan, built by Willis, of London, at a cost of £1,200, and
CHESTBBFIELD. 67
also small estates here. The rateable value is £2,534, and the population in 1891
was 609. The soil is various, blue and yellow clay, and in some places very
stony. Both coal and iron were formerly worked in the township, and for some
time there was a blast furnace in operation. Goal was also supplied to the
furnaces at Duckmanton. There is reason to believe that sufficient coal remains
to leave a margin of profit in working it ; and the experiment is now under trial,
by John Blair & Sons, of Brampton, at Allpits colliery.
The village of Galow is situated on the Clowne road, two miles east from
Chesterfield. A church, dedicated to St. Peter, was erected here in 1865. It
consists of nave, chancel, with a bell cot and tower at the west end surmounted
by a spire. The tower and spire, from the stringcourse upwards, were completed
in 1887, and three bells procured at an expense of £600, which was defrayed by the
late Mrs. Walker, of Calow House. The same lady subsequently inserted a
stained glass window in memory of her niece, Helen Mona Charlton. Surrounding
the church is a burial ground, which is restricted to residents in the township.
The Rev. E. W. W. Templeton is curate-in-charge. The Congregation alists and
Primitive Methodists have also chapels in the village ; to that of the former is
attached a small cemetery. The national school, built in 1855 and enlarged in
1878, has accommodation for 126 children, and an average attendance of 121.
Adjoining the high road is Cavalry Field, where the yeomanry cavalry of the
Chesterfield district used to train. The view from this field is extensive, and
includes many places of interest, Bolsover Castle, Hardwick Hall, Crich Standi
Clay Cross Church, and Wingerworth Hall.
Walton is a township and civil parish, extending about four miles south-
westerly from Chesterfield. It embraces 2,388 acres of land, belonging chiefly
to the Hon. Mrs. Hunloke, Wingerworth Hall, and had in 1891 a population of
1,444, most of whom are employed in the collieries and potteries. The parish is
under the jurisdiction of an Urban Council of twelve members, which has taken
the place of the Local Board.
The earliest name connected with Walton is that of Hundulph, who held
the manor under Edward the Confessor. Soon after the Norman Conquest it
was in the possession of the ancient family of Breton. They had a chapel in
the manor, and Sir Roger le Breton is said to have obtained a license for a
chantry in his chapel of Walton in the reign of Henry III. The family was
seated here for several generations, when the direct male line terminated, and
Isabel, the heiress, conveyed the estate in marriage to Sir John Loudham. Their
daughter and heiress married a Foljambe about the time of Bichard II., and
Walton remained in the possession of that family till sold by Sir Francis
Foljambe, sometime before his death in 1640, to Sir Arthur Ingram. The next
owners were the Fletchers, who were succeeded by the Jenkinsons. William
Woodyeare, who had married the widow of Sir Paul Jenkinson, sold it in 1813,
and subsequently it came into the possession of the Hunlokes, of Wingerworth.
The hall, '* wherein great contynewall housekeeping was mayntayned before in
Mr. Foljambe's tyme," is now a farmstead, and every vestige of the chapel has
disappeared. In matters ecclesiastical, Walton is under St. Thomas's, New
Brampton, and Divine service is held here in a Mission Boom.
Tapton is a small township, embracing 636 acres of land, adjoining the
borough of Chesterfield on the N.-B. side. The rateable value is £5,953, and the
number of inhabitants 227. At* the time of the Domesday Survey, Tapton was one
of the six here wicks or hamlets of the manor of Newbold, then in the possession
of the Crown. Subsequently Tapton was held under the Briweres by the
Brimingtons, from whom it passed, about the reign of Edward III., to the
Btuffins of Shirbrooke. At a later period it was owned by the Durants, and
passed thence by an heiress to the Alsops. The latter family in 1673 sold the
manor to George Taylor, Esq., whose heir, Sir Charles Scrimshaw, sold the
estate to Thomas Gladwin, Esq. In 1746 it was purchased by Dr. Adam Slater,
of Chesterfield, whose descendants owned it for three or four generations. It is

CLAY CROSS.
Clay Cross or Clay Lane, formerly a township in the parish of North Wing-
field, is now for all civil and ecclesiastical purposes independent. The area of
the civil parish is 1,292 acres, ratable value £15,848, and the population in 1891
was 7,143. The boundaries of the ecclesiastical parish are not coincident with
those of the civil parish, and embrace 3,926 acres, with a population of 6,977.
The Clay Cross Coal and Iron Co. and W. Gladwyn Turbutt are the principal
landowners. The parish is in Scarsdale hundred; petty sessional division of
Alfreton; anion, county court district and deanery of Chesterfield.
Clay Cross lies within the great midland coalfield, with its wealth of iron ore,
and to ibis curoomstance the place owes its prosperity. At the commencement

Hasland was included in the extensive grant of land which King John made
to William Briwere, and it subsequently passed by an heiress to Ralph de
Midleham. A younger branch of the Leakes was for many generations settled
at Hasland Old hall.
At Spital, in this parish, formerly stood the leper hospital of St. Leonard,
noticed under Chesterfield.
Oroismoor is a scattered hamlet extending from one to two miles.

HEATH AND LANOWITB BA8SETT.
89
A school was founded here in 1687. The present premises were erected in
1821, and greatly enlarged and improved in 1868. A classroom was added in
1880. The school is attended by about 80 children, and is liberally supported by
his Grace the Duke of Devonshire.
About a mile from the village is Owlcotes, a farm in the occupation of Mr.
William Whetton. Here stood one of the three stately mansions erected by the
Countess of Shrewsbury, who was known in her time as Bess of Hard wick. The
mansion and estate passed by the marriage of Frances Cavendish, her daughter,
to Sir H. Pierrepoint, ancestor of Lord Manvers, the present owner. Francis
Pierrepoint, Esq., who died in 1707, was the last of that branch of the family ;
and it is probable that the house was taken down after his death.
Doe Lea Cottages is a small colliery village, partly in this parish and partly
in Ault Hucknall. The Primitive Methodists have a chapel here, built in 1892.
Heath is one of the parishes benefitted by the Flannel Charity, left by the
Bev. Francis Gisborne. The sum of £5 10s. is received yearly, and is distributed
in warm clothing amongst poor women.

LANGWITH BASSETT,
Or UPPER LANGWITH, is a parish, township, and village on the border of
Nottinghamshire, containing 1,463 acres, including 261 acres of woodland. The
ratable value is £2,566, and the population in 1891 was 274. The Midland Kail-
way passes through the parish, and the new East-to- West line now in course of
construction also intersects it. The Duke of Devonshire, Earl Bathurst, and
Messrs. W. & S. Burkitt, of Chesterfield, are the principal landowners. The
Duke of Devonshire is lord of the manor. The parish is in the hundred of
Scarsdale, county council division of Heath, petty sessional division of Chester-
field, onion and county court district of Mansfield, rural district of Blackwell, and
deanery of Staveley. One rural district councillor has been assigned to Lang with.
Langwith is not one of the Domesday manors. The earliest mention of the
place is in the reign of Henry II., when Balph Deincourt gave the advowson of
the church to the newly-founded priory of Thurgarton, in Nottinghamshire. In
the fourteenth century the manor belonged to the Bassetts, and that name was
NEWBOLD AND DUN8TAN. 91
puddling furnaces and two rolling mills. The manufacture bf stoneware is also
extensively carried on here by Messrs. Pearson & Co. and S. M. Lancaster. The
business of the former firm was established upwards of a century ago, and gives
employment to over 500 hands. Messrs. Pearson & Go. are also proprietors of
Highfield Colliery.
When the Norman Survey was taken the manor of Newbold formed part of
the demesne of the Grown. Its importance at that time may be inferred from its
extent, for it included the here wicks or hamlets of Chesterfield, Boythorpe
Brimington, Eckington, Tapton, and Whittington. It passed out of the royal
possession in the reign of John, who gave it with several other manors to William
Briwere. It afterwards passed by the marriage of a co-heiress to Baldwin Wake,
whose descendant gave it to the monks of Welbeck. The Abbot of Beauchief also
held some lands in Newbold at the time of the dissolution of religious houses, but
it is not known how they came into his possession. Henry VIII. granted Newbold
to Sir William West, whose son Edmund sold it in 1570 to Anthony and Gervasrf
Eyre. This family is one of the numerous offshoots from the Eyres of Hope, but
unlike many of the other branches, it has maintained through all the days of
persecution, an unwavering attachment to the old religion. The manor and estate
passed into other hands about sixty years ago, but the family still retains posses-
sion of the old chapel. This edifice bears unmistakable signs of great antiquity,
and was in all probability the mother church of Chesterfield. It is very plain and
of small dimensions, 36 feet by 15 feet. There is no record of a church at New-
bold in Domesday Book, but this old chapel must have been erected soon after the
completion of that interesting document, as the carved semi -circular tympanum
over one of the small entrances belongs undoubtedly to the Norman period. The
windows belong to the 14th century. The sacred edifice has long been in a
dilapidated condition, and was for sometime used as a cowhouse. It stands
in a field near the village, and has recently been surrounded with a railing,
and a tall stone cross erected in the enclosed ground. It is used as a
burial place by the Eyres; and on the walls are sixteen mural tablets to
various members of the family. The Eyres maintained the Catholic worship
here in the days when their religion was proscribed, and mass is still said
on the anniversaries of those members whose remains are here deposited. In one
of those outbursts of religious intolerance which characterised the reign of
William III., a Protestant mob attacked the chapel, broke the monuments and
tombstones and almost demolished the building.
The village of Newbold, H miles N.W. from Chesterfield, is pleasantly
situated on an eminence, which commands extensive views of the well-wooded
country aronnd. The parish church, dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, is
situated at Littlemoor. It is a small stone building, erected in 1857, at a cost of
about £1,000. The south porch is surmounted by an octagonal spire containing
one bell. The style is Gothic, but the fabric does not possess any architectural
pretensions. The east window is filled with richly stained glass, representing
amongst other subjects the Crucifixion ; and beneath this, is an old oak reredos
bearing the date 1698. The living is a rectory, net yearly value £280, with resi-
dence, in the gift of the Vicar of Chesterfield, and held by the Rev. Llewellyn
Cutlack, B.A.
The Wesleyans have a chapel at Littlemoor, and another at Newbold Moor.
At the latter place there is a capacious Congregational Church, built in 1877, at a
cost of £1,500 ; and the Primitive Methodists have a small chapel at Newbold,
erected in 1890, at a cost of £450.
The earliest provision for educational purposes was made by Geo. Milnes,
Esq., who, in 1784, divised 2 acres 3 roods of land, to which the lord of the manor
added 7 acres 2 roods of waste, on which a school with master's residence was
built in 1805. New school premises were erected in 1860, capable of accom-
modating 240 children. A School Board of seven members was formed about ten
years ago, and a school for girls and infants erected. The accommodation pro-
vided is DOW fully occupied, and a new school is in course of erection.

SCARCLIFFE.
This is a parish and township of considerable extent, comprising 3,954 acres,
of which 3,765 are under assessment; ratable value £10,610, and population
(1891) 1,157. The principal landowners are Earl Bathurst (lord of the manor),
Cirencester ; Major Hallowes, Glapwell Hall, Chesterfield ; Edward Chaddock
Lowndes, Esq., Castle Combe, Wiltshire ; Mrs. Jane Scorer, Scarcliffe Park ;
Samuel Skelton, Warsop ; and Joseph Shacklock, Palterton. The parish is in
the hundred of Scarsdale, county council division of Heath, county court district
and union of Mansfield, rural district of Black well, petty sessional division of
Chesterfield, and deanery of Staveley. For carrying out the provisions of the
Parish and District Councils Act, seven parish councillors and one rural district
councillor have been assigned to Scarcliffe. The Midland railway passes through
the parish, and the new east to west line, now in course of construction, will also
intersect it. The latter railway will be carried through the hills by a tunnel
between Scarcliffe village and Bolsover. The Lang with colliery is in this parish.
The seam worked is the Top Hard, and a considerable number of hands are
employed.
The manor of Scarclifife was held, at the time of the Domesday Survey, by
Ralph Fitzhubert. His grandson, Hubert Fitzralph, built a church here, ana
gave the advowson to Darley Abbey ; to which also the rectorial tithes were
subsequently appropriated. A co-heiress of this, or another Hubert Fitzralph,
married Anker de IVecheville, whose grandson of the same name joined Simon
de Montford, and the other rebellious barons, against Henry III. His lands in
Scarcliffe were seized by the King, and divided between the Prior of Newstead
and Robert de Grey. The former had a park here in 1330. In 1544 the manor
was granted to George Pierrepoint, and in 1690 it was purchased by Sir Peter
Apsley, from whom it descended, through a female, to the Bathursts.
The village of Scarcliffe is situated six miles N.W. from Mansfield, eight
miles S.E. from Chesterfield, and two miles from Bolsover station, on the Clown
and Doe Lea branch of the Midland railway. The church (St. Leonard's) is an
ancient edifice of stone, and consists of chancel, nave, north aisle, and tower at
the west end. The old tower, which was surmounted by a spire, having become
unsafe, was taken down in 1842, and rebuilt as at present. It contains four bells.
BRADWELL.
118
The Bagshaws had formerly a considerable estate here. John Bagshaw, Esq.,
of Litton and Great Hucklow, was high sheriff of the county in 1696. The last
heir (male) of this branch died in 1721, and his only sister and heiress conveyed
the estate to her husband, Aymer Eich, Esq. The principal part of the estate was
purchased some years ago by John Badford, Esq., of Smalley, and is now in the
possession of his descendant.
The village of Great Hucklow is situated 2J miles N.E. from Tideswell, and
about the same distance S. from Bradwell. The population has diminished very
considerably since the discontinuance of lead mining, and the many tenantless
houses give the place a saddening aspect. The Wesleyans have a neat chapel
here, erected in 1806. It will seat 200, and is in the Bradwell circuit. The Bev.
William Bagshaw, the celebrated Nonconformist divine (commonly styled ** the
Apostle of the Peak"), brother of the above John Bagshaw, Esq., is said to have
preached in Great Hucklow, and to have established the Presbyterian congre-
gation here. The Unitarian chapel was built in 1796, and the minister's house
in 1887.
This township is in the Western parliamentary division, Tideswell electoral
division, and forms with Grindlow a united parish under the Local Government
Act of 1894.
Little Hucklow is an adjoining township containing 561 acres, ratable value
£636, and population 120. Colonel Shuttleworth, John Thornhill, Esq., and
Charles Hatfield are the principal landowners. The village is about 2 miles N.N.E.
from Tideswell and IJ from Bradwell. It has suffered severely by the cessation of
the mining industry in the neighbourhood, and the number of inhabitants is little
more than one-fourth of what it was in 1831. Empty houses meet the eye on
every side, and desolation reigns supreme. Little Hucklow is united with Hazle-
badge for the election of a rural district councillor.

CHINLEY, BUGSWORTH, AND BROWNSIDE
Form a joint township in the ecclesiastical parish of Glossop, and Chapel-en-le-
Frith Union. Under the Local Government Act of 1894 they constituted a
civil parish, with a council of seven memhers, for the management of parochial
affairs. The total area is 3,835 acres, ratable value £9,911, and the population
in 1891 was 1,542. The land belongs to several proprietors, the following being
the largest owners: — Rev. F. Gawthorn, Joseph C. Braddock, John Braddock,
Joseph Broadhurst, Christopher Slack, Mrs. Goodman, Mrs. Hadfield, W. H. G.
Bagshawe, J. P., John Hadfield, John Drink water, and William Hadfield.
The surface is roughly broken into bold eminences, the highest of which —
Chinley Churn — attains an elevation of 1,493 feet above the sea-level. Crowning
the summit are the remains of a Roman camp, from which a magnificent view
of the surrounding country is obtained.
Chinlby is a village and extra parochial liberty, situated about 2^ miles N.
by W. from Chapel-en-Ie-Frith, and near the station of its own name, on tho
Manchester branch of the Midland railway The village is small, and possesses
nothing of interest except the old Nonconformist Chapel built in 1711. The
congregation was originally formed through the efforts of the Rev. Wm. Bagshaw,
better known as " The Apostle of the Peak," who died in 1702. A few charities
connected with the chapel are thus noticed on a Benefaction Board: — (1) Tho8.
Moult, of Chinley Maze, departed this life on 16th May, 1751, and left £5 to b )
put out to interest, and the interest arising from it to go towards repairing thii
place, i 2) Samuel Wood, of Bowden Hall, died 15th April, 1764, and left £200
to be put out to interest for charitable purposes, yearly, for ever, and to be
divided equally into four parts — 1st, in bread amongst poor widows and fatherless
children belonging to Chapel-en-le-Frith ; 2nd, in bread at Chinley Chapel every
Sunday to similar persons ; 3rd, in woollen cloths to the poor of Bowden Edge ;
4th, to the minister of Chinley Chapel for permitting six poor widows free sitting
on the north side of such chapel for ever. This charity commenced the 5th day
of May, 1765.
The Wesleyans have a chapel at New Smithy, and a Preaching Room at Four
Lane Ends.
BuGSWOBTH is a village and hamlet three miles N. from Chapel-en-le-Frith,
and ten miles from Glossop. Coal underlies the district ; it is excellent for lime
burning, and is largely worked for that purpose. For the convenience of the
inhabitants a chapel was erected in 1874 and dedicated to St. James. It is a
handsome edifice, in the Gothic style, capable of seating 280 persons, and consist i
of chancel, nave, porch, and belfry, containing one bell. The three windows iu
the east end are filled with stained glass. The Rev. James Bower is the curate-
in-charge. The Primitive Methodists and Congregationalists have chapels here.
The former built in 1878, at a cost of £1,300, is a large stone edifice in the
Gothic style. The services are conducted by local preachers.
Bbownsidb comprises the hamlets of Upper Fold and Shireoaks. The land
is elevated, but yields good crops of grass.
The educational affairs of the parish are managed by a School Board, by
whom commodious schools have been erected, at Chinley and Bugsworth.

BUXTON.
This is a town, parish, and township in the hundred of High Peak, poor law
union of Chapel-en-le-Frith, and is the head of a petty sessional division, county
court district, and deanery. The area of the township, including 128^ acres
recently added under an order of the county council, is 1,275 J acres ; ratable
value, £58,000. Under the provisions of the Local Government Act of 1894, the
old parish of Buxton is divided into two — Buxton and King Sterndale. The
former embraces the portion within the Buxton urban sanitary district, and to
which seven guardians have been assigned ; and the latter comprises that portion
lying within Ghapel-en-le-Prith sanitary district, and elects one rural district
councillor.
The town of Buxton is situated on the banks of the river Wye, at the height
of a thousand or more feet above the sea-level, and is hemmed in by hills, which,
whilst they shelter it from winds and storms, add much to the sceuic beauty of
the surroundings. The Manchester and Derby road passes through the town,
the former place being 24 miles N.N.W., and the latter 38 miles S.S.E. It is
easily accessible by rail, the Midland and London and North-Westem railways
having stations in the town.
Buxton has long been celebrated for its medicinal waters, and with the hand-
some public buildings, and beautiful villa residences erected in recent years,
together with the improvements effected in the sanitary arrangements, it now
justly ranks as one of, if not the^ most fashionable of our health resorts. Its fame
is not of to-day. That the luxurious Eomans were acquainted with its heaUng
waters is shown by the discovery of one of their baths in the early part of the
18th century ; and traces of a Eoman camp have been met with in the immediate
vicinity. Whether the wild, roving Britons, whose burial grounds are scattered
over the Peak, made use of these curative waters, as some imagine, or not, it is
evident that the baths of Buxton may be regarded as the most ancient in Great
Britain. In the troublous centuries that followed the departure of the Romans,
when the ancient Britons were overpowered, and nigh exterminated by the half-
civilized Saxons, and the supremacy of the latter subsequently disputed by the
sea-rovers of Denmark and Norway, the springs of Buxton were neglected, if not
wholly forgotten. They come again into notice in the Middle Ages, when much
of their efficacy was attributable to spiritual agency ; and, as was customary in
Catholic times, a chapel was built and dedicated to St. Anne, wherein those who
had benefited by the waters might offer up their orisons and thank God for
restoration of their health. The walls were decorated with the crutches of the
cripples whose cures rendered them no longer necessary.
But these mementoes of cures effected by the waters enkindled the wrath of
the early Beformers, who regarded them as tokens of a superstitious reverence,

Various theories have been propounded to account for these and other
thermal springs. The constancy of the temperature (81^° Fahrenheit at Buxton),
and especially of the flow, has led many writers to attribute their origin to the
ocean ; and others assert that they are due to volcanic agency. The upholders of
the latter theory adduce in support of their contention the fact that nearly all hot
springs are found either in the neighbourhood of active volcanoes or in localities
where there are evident traces of former volcanic action. Another, and equally
probable explanation, is that the Buxton waters rise from a considerable depth in
the earth, where they have accumulated by percolation through the superincum-
bent strata. There is a steady increase of temperature, at the rate of 1° Fahren-
heit for every 60 feet we descend ; at a depth of 2,000 feet the temperature is
fully 40° higher than at the siurface ; and the deeper the spring, the hotter will
the water become. Besting upon impervious rock, and pressed by the water
percolating through the upper strata, this heated water finds its exit through
fissures or channels in the rock, losing a portion of its heat, and absorbing various
mineral ingredients from the rocks through which it passes.
Whether the Buxton waters derive their therapeutic action from the nitrogen
or from the salts they hold in solution, is a question on which there is much
difference of opinion ; but that they are extremely beneficial in certain diseases is
proved by the experience of centuries. Dr. Granville, so well known by his works
on the German and English spas, compares the waters of Buxton with those of
Schlangenbad. " Here at Buxton," he writes, " we have a water at nearly the
same degree of heat, with fewer ingredients, still producing not only similar, but
even more energetic effects." Dr. Robertson, consulting physician to the Bath
Charity and Devonshire Hospital, in his work, ** Buxton and its Waters," says : —
"The diseases for the relief of which the Buxton baths are found to be the most
eminently useful, are rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, and certain forms of spinal,
uterine, and dyspeptic affections. Many of the disordered conditions which are
incidental to old age — much of the deranged health incidental to middle age in
females — much of the uterine irregularity and disturbed condition incidental to
females at various periods of life — much of the nervous weakness that is indicated
by tic-doloreox in its various forms, sciatica, &c. — much of the functional derange-
ment of the kidn^s which is consequent upon exposure, intemperance, or
CASTLETON. 139
and iDvited all the young men of noble birth to enter the lists, and make a fair
trial of their skill and valour, at the same time promising to give the victor his
daughter for a wife, with his castle of Whittington as a dowry. Many were the
knights who entered the lists to compete for so rich a prize, and long and severe
were the tilts that took place before the assembled throner. Amongst the com-
petitors was a knight of Lorraine, with a maiden shield of silver and a peacock
for his crest. The unknown knight performed prodigies of valour, unhorsing all
who came against him. His last encounters were with a baron of Burgoyne and
a prince of Scotland, both of whom he vanquished, was hailed the victor, and
received the much-coveted prize. His name was Guarine de Metz ; and from
this marriage sprang the noble family of Fitz-Warrine, lords of Whittington.
It is difficult to imagine how the vast throng of knights and their esquires were
accommodated, or where the tournament was held, for certainly the space within
the castle walls was not only too limited in extent but also un suited for the
purpose, nevertheless the fact is unquestionable. The great Wizzard of the north
has thrown the magic of his genius around the castle by making it the scene of
one of the most popular of the Waverley Novels — *' Peveril of the Peak."
Castleton, which doubtless received its name from the castle that looks down
upon it from its rocky height, stands at the head of the beautiful valley of Hope,
environed by an amphitheatre of hills that seem to cut it off from communication
with the outer world. In addition to its romantic scenery, Castleton possesses
other extraordinary attractions for tourists and visitors in its wonderful caverns
and natural curiosities. The village is 6 miles N. from Tideswell, 12 N.E. from
Buxton, 16 W. from Sheffield, 7 from Chapel-en-le-Frith, and 2 miles from Hope
station, on the Dore and Chinley branch of the Midland Eailway This line,
which was opened for passenger traffic in Whit- week, 1894, places Castleton
within easy access, and will doubtless add largely to the influx of visitors. There
are several good hotels, notably ** The Castle'* and ** Nag's Head," which are
fitted up with every convenience, and afford excellent accommodation for visitors.
Those who prefer the quieter life of a private house can obtain apartments at
several of the houses and cottages. Agriculture and the manufacture of rope
and twine are the principal industrial occupations. Vases and ornaments of Blue
John and other varieties of fluor spar are fabricated by the lissome fingers of
local artificers, and exposed for sale with other curiosities.
The church, dedicated to St. Edmund, is an ancient edifice, but shorn of all
its ancient beauty by modern churchwarden ** improvements." It appears to
have been erected in the time of the early Peverels, and exhibits traces of almost
every style of ecclesiastical architecture. It consists of chancel, with vestry on
the north side, nave, with south porch, and a low embattled tower at the west
end, adorned with eight crocketed pinnacles. The church was repaired in 1830,
when, with execrable taste, the exterior walls of the nave were covered with
stucco. The arch separating the chancel from the nave is a fine example of
Norman work, enriched with chevron mouldings. The east window, of three
lights, is filled with stained glass, representing Christ's charge to St. Peter, in
affectionate remembrance of the Rev. Charles Cecil Bates, M.A., for thirty-five
years the faithful vicar of the parish ; he died in 1853. Above the altar is a
picture of the Adoration of the Magi, attributed to Vandyke. The tower dates
from the close of the fifteenth century, and contains a peal of eight modern bell».
The font is octagonal in shape, and ancient. The old oak pews remain, curiously
carved, many of them bearing the names of their former owners, with 17th
century dates. There are few monuments in the church. A marble tablet
records the death of John Mawe, the celebrated mineralogist, whose remains are
interred in the Church of St. Mary-le- Strand, London ; but by his request this
memorial was placed in the church of the village where he commenced his
mineralogical laooars. Another monument bears the following epitaph, said to
have been written by the eccentric individual it commemorates : — ** To the
memory of Micah Hall, gentn., Attorney-at-Law, who died on the 14th of May,
1804, aged 79 years. Quid eram, nescitis ; Quid sum, nescitis ; Ubi abii.

hum and buzz that proceeds from a cotton doubling factory, one would suppose the
place to be entirely out of touch with the noisy world without. The only aggre-
gation of houses worthy of the name of village is Grind's Brookj or, as it was
anciently called, Grime's Brook, near which is a station on the railway now fast
approaching completion. Here are the church and the school, and also a good
hotel. The other scattered houses and hamlets are Over Booth, Nether Booth,
Barber Booth, Lady Booth, and Oiler Brook.
Edale is described in Domesday Book as a berewick or hamlet of Hope, hue
soon afterwards it was included in the parish of Castleton. The first chapel was
erected here in 1633, and dedicated to the Holy and Undivided Trinity. This
structure became so dilapidated that it was taken down in 1812, and rebuilt in a
barn-like style. The present church was erected in 1886, at a cost of £3,000
raised by public subscription. It is a handsome edifice, in the Decorated Gothic
style, consisting of chancel, nave, south-west porch, and tower, surmounted by a
fine spire. There is accommodation for 250. The living, formerly a perpetual
curacy, is now a vicarage, in the gift of trustees, worth £228 per annum, and
held by the Eev. John Eales, M.A., Cantab. The school is also a Gothic building
and cost £400. It possesses small endowments left by the Eev. Kobert Turie,
John Ashton, Joseph Tym, Joseph Champion, and Elizabeth Bowden.
The Wesley ans have a chapel at Barber Booth, erected at a cost of £300, to
seat 150. It is in the Bradwell circuit. The Barber family formerly owned land
and were resident here, hence the name of the hamlet.
On the farm of Mr. N. Tym is a Druidical rock or altar, and at Nether Tor,
near Grindsbrook, in 1778, about 40 adder heads or Druid's amulets were found
beneath a stone.
Edale is in Chapel-en -le-Frith rural sanitary district, and, for carrying out the
provisions of the Local Government Act of 1894, six parish councillors and one
district councillor have been assigned to it.

This is a parish and township in the hundred of High Peak, petty sessional
division and county court district and deanery of Buxton, and union of Chapel-en-
le-Frith. It gives name to a division for the election of a county councillor. Under
the new Local Government Act, Fairfield forms an urhan parish with three urban
district guardians. The estimated extent of the parish is 3,928 acres, ratable value
£31,323, and the population in 1891 was 3,866. Fairfield was part of the royal
forest of the Peak, and the Duke of Devonshire is lessee of the manor under the

who died in 1882, and was the first curate. The Primitive Methodist Chapel,
erected in 1876, is a stone structure, with school underneath. It is well lighted,
and furnished with seats to accommodate 400. On the north wall is a handsome
marhle tablet to the memory of William Howe, who died in 1891. The chapel
is in the Bradwell circuit. There is also a Gospel Mission Hall, erected in 1877
at a cost of £200. A school of two departments was built in 1883 at a cost of
£800, and an addition was made to it in 1891 at a further outlay of £400. There

GLOSSOP. 163
Norfolk, was deputy Earl Marshall from 1861 to 1868, and was created a peer in
1869. Glossop Hall is a handsome mansion, standing within extensive grounds
a little N.E. of Old Glossop..
The town is seated in a valley on the sides of the lofty hills that environ it
on all sides. The scenery around is wild and picturesque, and had not commerce
seated itself here in later years, Glossop might have become a popular pleasure
resort. It was incorporated in 1866, and within the borough boundary are
included Dinting, Dinting Vale, Hadfield, Padfield, Simmondley, Waterside, and
Whitfield. The borough is divided into three wards, which form a civil parish
under the Parish and District Councils Act. Each ward returns six guardians.
The ratable value of the borough is £58,884, and the population 22,414. The
cotton trade is said to have been introduced here in 1784, but previous to this
there were woollen factories and fulling mills. Some of the mills are on a
gigantic scale. The Howardtown Mills, belonging to John Wood & Brothers,
Ltd., cover 14 acres, and contain 221,000 spindles and 8,500 looms, giving
employment to 5,000 or 6,000 persons when in full work. At the Wren Nest
Mills, Francis Sumner & Co., Ltd., proprietors, there are 123,000 spindles and
2,541 looms. The Shipley Mill Cotton Manufacturing Co., Ltd., have 43,000
spindles. . There are other mills of less magnitude. Another very important
industry is the paper manufacture. The paper mills of Messrs. Olive &
Partington (sole proprietor, Edward Partington, Esq., J.P.) at Turn Lee, cover
several acres of ground and give employment to about 600 hands and a large staff
of clerks besides. The machinery is all of the latest and most approved principle,
and the machines used in several parts of the process, are the special patent of
the firm. The paper is made from wood pulp. The timber is imported from
Norway in six feet lengths, and after passing through various processes is
reduced to pulp and converted into paper. Upwards of 120 tons of paper are
turned out weekly. Another industry that gives employment to a large number
of the inhabitants is calico printing ; and a considerable trade is also done in the
manufacture of spring mattresses.
Old Glossop is a quaint looking village, picturesquely seated at some height
on the hill side overlooking the valley below. Beyond it, stretch heath-clad hills
abounding with grouse. Neto Glossop or Howard Town is situated in the valley,
and is sometimes called Glossopdale. Here are located the cotton factories, the
shops and business premises, and the great mass of the inhabitants. All the
houses and mills are built of stone, and, though some of them date frem the
early part of this century, they still retain much of their original freshness of
colour. A market was established under powers of an Act of Parliament
obtained in 1844, and is held on Saturdays. The Town Hall is a handsome
building of stone in the ItaUan style, with covered market behind, erected in
1838, at a cost of £8,500, and opened as a market on the 19th July, 1845. It was
enlarged in 1854. Gas Works were erected the same year by a company with a
registered capital of £6,000 in £10 shares ; and Water Works were constructed in
1854 by the Duke of Norfolk, at a cost of £4,000. The reservoir, about five acres
in extent, is situated at Swineshaw, l-J miles from the town. Fairs for cattle,
horses, &c., are held on May 6th, and the first Wednesday after October 10th.
The parish church of All Saints', at Old Glossop, is a large edifice in the Gothic
style,' consisting of chancel, nave, side aisles, and tower containing eight bells.
The old church, having become ruinous, the nave and aisles were rebuilt, and
two galleries added in 1831, at a cost of £2,000. The chancel was rebuilt a Uttle
later by the Duke of Norfolk, the lay impropriator of the tithes ; and in 1855 his
grace rebuilt the tower and spire. The Howard arms are carved in stone above
the west doorway of the tower. The Hague monument, now in Hayfield church,
was formerly in the chancel of All Saints, from which it was removed when the
chancel was rebuilt, and never replaced. The east window, of three lights, is a
memorial of the late Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, Robert Shipley, Esq., and
John Wood, Esq. Two of the eight bells were added by the parishioners when
the tower was rebuilt. Two tablets record feats of bell-ringing : one on the 13th
GLOSSOP. 167
clustered columns of polished granite, supported by a base of the same material.
A brass plate bears the following inscription: — "This pulpit has been erected by
the parishioners and friends in loving memory of John Wood, J.P., Daniel Wood
and Samuel Wood, J.P., Esqrs., patrons and founders of this church, November,
1888." The organ is a fine instrument, presented by Mrs. Wood in 1882. The
fount is a very handsome one of granite and marble, and elaborately carved.
The living, a vicarage, worth £320, with recidence, is in the gift of Mrs. S. Wood,
8. H. Wood, Esq., and John Wood, Esq., J.P., D.L.
A school was built at the same time as the church for the accommodation of
430 children.
Hadfield is a considerable village and township containing 357 acres of land,
lying on the south bank of the river Etherow, and now forming one of the wards
of the borough of Glossop. The principal industry is cotton spinning and
weaving, which is carried on to a considerable extent in the district. The
church, dedicated to St. Andrew, is a handsome edifice of stone consisting of
nave, chancel, transept, porch, and belfry containing one bell. On each side of
the nave, three or four feet from the wall, is a row of iron pillars from which
spring wooden arches that support the roof. The style of architecture is Gothic,
and the total cost of the building was £4,174. The organ, which stands in the
chancel, is a fine instrument, by Wadsworth Brothers, of Manchester, and cost
£650. It was presented by James Sidebottom, Esq., J.P., in 1879, in memory of
his wife. The font was presented by James Sherriff, stonemason, formerly
sexton at Tintwistle Church, who emigrated to Australia, whence the font came.
On one side is inscribed '* St. Paul writeth, according to His mercy God saved
us by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost.'* On
another is "Jesus said, except a man be born again of water and of the Holy
Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." The living is a vicarage worth
£260 with residence, in the gift of five trustees, and held by the Rev. J. Hadfield,
who is Eural Dean of Glossop.
A school, in which church service was held previous to the erection of the
church, was built in 1855 at a cost of £850.
The Catholics also have a church here, dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo,
erected hy the late Lord Howard. It is a handsome stone structure, consisting
of nave, aisles, sanctuary, sacristy, and western tower containing one bell. Built
on an eminence, this church has a picturesque appearance, seated amidst
shrubberies which are graced here and there with statues, crosses, etc. The
style of architecture is Gothic, and the church contains a handsome pulpit,
presented by public subscription about a year ago. The presbytery adjoins
the church.
The Wesleyan Chapel, erected in 1878, is a large edifice of stone in the
Norman style, seated on the crest of a hill, whence there is an extensive view of
the surrounding landscape. It is well lighted by circular-headed windows, and
comfortably furnished to seat 900. In connection with the chapel is a Sunday
school. The total cost was about £5,000. A day-school was established by the
society in 1808, and rebuilt in 1854. There is accommodation for 300 and an
average attendance of 180. The United Methodist Free Church is a plain oblong
building, lighted by windows of the Gothic type. It was erected in 1 876, at a
cost of £600, raised by voluntary subscriptions. The Primitive Methodists built
their present chapel in 1876. Attached is a burial ground.
The Congregational Church, situated at Brookfield, is a substantial structure
of stone, in the Gothic style, erected in 1883« at a cost of £4,000, part of which
W&8 raised by pubUc subscription, and the remainder was a donation from W.
Shepley, Esq., J.P. ; and the organ, built by J. J. Binns, of Leeds, cost £250,
was presented by Mrs. Shepley. All the woodwork is pitchpine, and the windows^
are mled with stained glass of various designs, geometric, floral, and conventional.
There is sitting accommodation for 850 in the body of the church, and a gallery,
above the entranee will seat 100 more. Adjoining the church is the day school*

HOPE. 187
It also formerly included the ohapelry of Fairfield and the townships of Abney,
and Abney Orange, Bradwell, Grindlow, Hazlebadge, Hucklow Great, Hucklow
Little, and Wardlow, extending in all over 40,000 acres. It is in the hundred of
High Peak, electoral division of Castle ton, county court district of Buxton, petty
sessional division and poor law union of Chapel-en-le-Frith, and deanery of Eyam.
The township of Hope contains 2,848J acres of land ; its ratable value is
£2,916, and the population 423. For purposes of local government five parish
councillors have been assigned to it and one rural district councillor. The land-
owners are R. H. Ashton, Castleton ; E. Firth, Hope ; C. S. LesHe, Esq., Hassop ;
Exors. of A. P. Arkwright ; Charles Greaves, Hope Woodlands ; Mr. Fleming,
Manchester ; George Eyre, Hope Farm ; G. Bingham ; Joseph H. Bennett ;
Mr. Benton, Glossop ; Bagshaw's Exors. ; Joseph Wilson, Oker ; George Hall,
Hope ; Edmund Nicholson ; and the Exors. of John Middleton.
The royal manor of Hope at the time of the Domesday Survey was of con-
siderable extent, and included seven here wicks or hamlets. It had also at that
time its church and priest. Subsequently it was considered as part of the manor
of High Peak, that manor having since been divided into two. Hope now forms
part of the manor of Castleton, which is held on lease by the Duke of Devonshire.
The ancient and important family of Eyre were long identified with the parish
of Hope, their connection dating as far back as the reign of Henry III. or earlier,
and their arms were formerly to be seen emblazoned in the window of the chancel
and in other parts of the church. The Balguys, another ancient Derbyshire
family, possessed considerable lands here. Their chief seat for some time was
Hope Hall, now an inn, called the Hall Hotel. The Woodroffes, a name not long
extinct in the parish, were settled at Hope as early as the reign of Edward I.,
when Balph Woodroffe, armiger, was keeper of the King's Forest of High Peak,
and was succeeded in his office by his son Robert. Ellis Woodroffe, the last heir
male of the elder branch, died in 1634, leaving five daughters co-heiresses, one of
whom married Peter Foljambe.
The surface is diversified, and the scenery of a pleasing pastoral character.
The soil is generally fertile. Limestone, of excellent quality for agricultural
purposes and roads, is extensively quarried at Pindale, about one mile south of
the village, by Mr. A. Furness, who has also his limekilns here. A large quantity
of this lime was used in the construction of the Dore and Chinley railway, which
passes through the parish.
The village of Hope is of small dimensions, but pleasantly situated at the
confluence of two streams which form the river Noe, 6 miles N. by E. from
Tideswell, 4 S.W. from Hathersage, and 15 from Sheffield. It is now easily
accessible by the new line of railway, Dore and Chinley branch, on which there
is a station near the village. In 1715 John Balguy, Esq., of Hope Hall, pro-
cured a grant of a weekly market on Saturday and four fairs. This weekly
market was discontinued many years ago, and a monthly cattle market estab-
lished, which is held on the last Wednesday of the month. The church,
dedicated to St. Peter, is an ancient edifice of stone, rebuilt on the site of an
earlier one in the 14th century, and very extensively restored in the Perpendicular
style in the following century. It consists of chancel, nave, side aisles, south
porch, and west tower, surmounted by a dumpy octagonal spire. The chancel
was rebuilt in 1881, at a cost of £1,195, subscribed by various benefactors, and
the rest of the fabric was thoroughly restored by E. Firth, Esq., of Birchfield, at
a cost of £2,050, in commemoration of the Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen
Victoria. The clerestory, aisles, and choir are surmounted by an embattled
parapet, with pinnacles, and projecting from the building are some grotesque
gurgoyles. Above the porch is a parvise, or chamber, which was once probably
occupied by the sacristan. The gallery, which blocked up the west end of the
nave, was happily removed at the late restoration. At this end stands a massive
octagonal font, believed to be 14th century work. The pulpit is worthy of notice.
It is a piece of good carving in oak, and bears the date 1652. The eagle lectern,
of the same material, was designed and carved by Mr. Hedley Hill, of Tideswell.

in 1831, at a cost of £2,500. It is a handsome Gothic edifice comprising nave,
chanctil, side aisles, and a pinnacled tower surmounted by a lofty octagonal spire,
but the interior aspect is somewhat disappointing. The chancel is lighted by
three tall single-li^ht lancet windows which have been filled with stained glass at
the expense of Mrs. Mackie. Windows of the same character, seven on each
side, li^ht the nave and aisles. Two on the north side bear representations of
our Saviour and St. John the Baptist, and Moses and Aaron. On a brass is
inrtcrihed "In memory of the Rev. John Rigg, M.A., vicar of New Mills for 20
}<iarH, who finished liis work November 10th, 1868, aged 56 years. His
pariHhionorK and friondn have placed these windows to record their appreciation
of his lubourH." Two on the south side are also memorials. On the north wall
of IJKi nave, under the gallery, is a marble tablet inscribed "la memory of James
in-^'liain, hisq., J. P., of Watford villa. New Mills, who departed this life, May 8th,
lH(j8, lifted 67 years," and on a brass underneath is "The above tablet was erected
by his neighbours and friends in acknowledgment of the liberal support he
rt^iidentd to this church, and the Bequest of £500 contained in his will, the
interoHt of which is paid towards educating and clothing the poor of this parish."
The Font, which stands in the middle of the nave, is a beautiful piece of
sculpture, erected by the parishioners and tenants of Lord Egerton's estate in
Lancashire, in memory of John Taylor, J.P. The living is a vicarage, worth
£300 yearly, with residence, in the gift of the Vicar of Glossop, and held by the
Rev. F. W. Newman, M.A.
The Church schools form a pretty block of stone buildings, with teacher's
residence attached. There are two departments, mixed and infants, with an

BARTON BLOUNT.
This is a parish and township in the hundred of Appletree, electoral and
petty sessionid division of Sudbury ; union and county court district of Burton-
on-Trent ; and deanery of Longford. For the election of rural district councillor
Barton Blount has been added to Church Broughton.
The estimated extent o| the parish is 1,1^^ acres, ratable value £1,718, and
population 76. Miss Caroline Bradshaw is lady of the manor and principal
owner; Reginald Chandos-Fole, Esq., has a small estate here.
The manor of Barton was one of the many given by William the Conqueror
to Henry de Ferrers ; and it was held under him by one Ralph. In the 13th
century Barton was held under the Ferrers by the Bakepuze family, and after the
forfeiture of the Ferrers lands, it was held by the same family under the Earl of
Lianeaster The manor was then known as Barton Bakepuze. The next owners
were the Blounts, who purchased the manor in 1381, and four years later Sir
Walter Blount obtained a charter of free warren over this and his other manors.
Sir Walter was afterwards slain at the battle of Shrewsbury, where he was the
Icing's standard bearer. The family for several generations had their chief resi-
dence here, and Blount superseded Bakepuze as the suffix of the place-name.
Another Walter, grandson or great-grandson of the above, was an especial
favourite of Edward IV., by whom he was appointed Lord High Treasurer in
1464, and in the following year was created Lord Mountjoy, with a pension of
twenty marks. James, sixth Lord Mountjoy, becoming involved in pecuniary
difficulties, sold the manor and advowson of Barton to John Merry, gentleman,
of London. After four descents in this family, the estate came to an heiress, who
married a Simpson. The issue of this marriage was Merry Simpson, who, about
the year 1700, retired to a French monastery, and Barton was purchased from his
trustees in 1751 by Sir Nathaniel Curzon. Subsequently it passed by an exchange
to Francis Bradshaw, Esq.
The hall is a handsome mansion of stone, situated in a picturesque park,
12 miles W. from Derby, and Si from Tutbury station on the North Staffordshire
Railway. The building, before it was modernised by alterations and additions,
was a castellated structure, surrounded by a moat. It was garrisoned by Col.
Gell for the Roundheads during the Civil Wars, and skirmishes took place here in
1645 and 1646 between the garrison and the royal soldiers from Tutbury.
There is no village. The church, which is dedicated to St. Chad, stands near
the hall. It is a small rectangular edifice of stone, with a bell turret without a
bell, rebuilt in the reign of Queen Anne, but its mantle of ivy gives it an ancient
aud venerable appearance. It was thoroughly renovated and re-pewed in 1854.
A recessed arch from the old church has been retained in the north wall of the
chancel. Under it lies the effigy of a lady, supposed to represent one of the
Bakepuze family. There are four memorial windows and three marble tablets to
the Bradshaws. The living is a rectory, net value £76, in the gift of Miss
Bradshaw, and held in conjunction with Boyleston by the Rev. N. I. Hill-
Fyson, M.A.

A monumental slab or coflBn lid, of considerable antiquity, discovered during
the alterations, is built into the wall of the porch. On it are sculptured a cross
and two keys. The signification of the latter is not known with certainty, but
they probably indicate someone in authority. The font is ancient, and there are
two very old oak chairs in the chancel. The dog whip, with which of old canine
intruders were whipped out of church, is still preserved in the vestry, and we
believe is the only one now in existence. The parish registers date from 1670.
The living is a vicarage, net value £310, held by the Eev. J. Stockdale, M.A.,
rural dean, who was inducted in 1859. The patronage was formerly vested in
the vicar of Bakewell, but was transferred in 1811 to the Duke of Devonshire.
The Wesleyan Methodists have a chapel in the villskge capable of seating
200 persons.
There is an excellent National School, erected at a cost, including master's
house, of £2,000. The site was given by the Duke of Kutland. There is also a
high-class boarding school, where boys are prepared for the universities, the
public schools, or for professional or commercial careers. The house named **The
Beeches" stands within its own grounds, and contains tennis lawns, cricket and
football field, and glass-covered play ground. Principal, Frederick Powell,
F.R.G.S., &c.
BuhnM is a hamlet on the west side of the Derwent, containing 2,400 acres,
and forms a joint township with Baslow. At the time of the Domesday Survey,
it was a here wick of the Boyal manor of Ashford, but has long been united with
Baslow. William Eyre, a grandson of Kobert Eyre, of Padley, purchased the
manor of Bubnell in the 16th century. It subsequently belonged to the Bassets,
of Blore, from whom it passed, by marriage, to the Copwoods. Bubnell Hall,
formerly the residence of the Eyres, the IBassets, and Copwoods, is an ancient
building near the river and sheltered by trees. The land is chiefly in pasture
and meadow. Great attention is given to the breeding of shorthorn cattle, which
have carried off prizes at all the principal shows in the district.
Bramhky is a hamlet of one farm, situated at the northern extremity of
Bubnell.
Charities.— 77?/ wjp^rfij/ Chapman, by will in 1777, left certain land on trust, the rents
thereof to be thus appropriated:— 20s. yearly to the schoolmaster of Stanton Ford, in tliis parish;
10s. to the clergyman for preaching a sermon on the 5th November; 19s. to the poor of Baslow
and Bubnell; and lOs. to the poor of Calver, Curbar, and Froggatt. The Gunpowder Plot
sermon has long been discontinued. Robert Stafford gave £G0, which was invested in land, the
rent of which is divided equally between the minister, the schoolmaster, and the poor; and
Whit^*8 charity, the rent of 6a. 3r. 22p. of land, is divided in like manner, (iisborne's flannel
charity is also distributed yearly.

BONSALL.
This is a parish and township in the hundred, petty sessional division, county
court district, and deanery of Wirksworth, county council division of Winster,
and union of Ashbourne. Under the Local Government Act it forms an urban
parish, and elects two urban guardians. The total acreage is 2,750 ; ratable
value, £4,621 ; and population, 1,329. The land is limestone, and belongs to
several ov^ners, the principal of whom are H. F. Prince, Esq., and Francis
Hemstock, Esq., Slaley Hall.
In Domesday Book, Bonsall (Bunteshale) is entered as a hamlet of the Koyal
manor of Metesforde, but the latter name has long disappeared from our local
nomenclature, nor is the site known. Bonsall was subsequently granted to the
Earl of Lancaster, and continued annexed to the Duchy of Lancaster till 1630,
when Charles I. granted it to Charles Harbord, Esq., and others, who, two years
later, sold it to the Earl of Dover. In 1633 it was purchased by the copyholders,
subject to the payment of a fee farm rent to the Crown, and each copyholder's
share of the royalties is in proportion to the amount of his copyhold rent.

Slaley is a small village half-a-mile S. from Bonsall. Slaley Hall, the residence
of Francis Hemstock, Esq., is an antique looking structure with thatched roof,
overlooking Via Gellia. The latter is the fanciful Latinised name of a beautiful
walk constructed by the late Philip Gell, Esq., through an enchanting ravine
extending through Gromford into Bonsall. The steep, rugged sides are thickly
wooded, and the luxuriant growth of lilies of the valley and other wild flowers
render the scene one of indescribable loveliness. Here are the works of the Via
Gellia Paint and Colour Manufacturing Co., noticed above.
Charities. — An unknown donor left £1 IDs. per annum, which is distributed in bread on
Good Friday. A person named Needham left £2 18s. yearly for the same purpose ; emd the poor

also lord of the manor. The ratable value is £692, and the population 40. It is
in the Bakewell union and rural district, and forms a united parish with
Ivonbrook Grange, returning one rural district councillor. The manor was given
by Sewallis, ancestor of the Shirley family, to the monks of Darley, in the reign
of Henry IV. The monks had a grange here, to which there was probably
attached a chapel. Afterwards the grange was granted, by Edward VI., to Sir
Thomas Heneage and Lord Willoughby, who sold it the following year to
Robert Gox, or Goch It subsequently passed to the Manners, and was given
by Queen Elizabeth to John Hardwick, whose daughter, the famous Bess of
Hardwick, married Sir William Cavendish. A late Duke of Devonshire
exchanged this estate with the Duke of Butland.
Lea Hall, formerly extra-parochial, is a small township comprising three
farms, belonging chiefly to Sir William FitzHerbert, Bart., who is also lord of the
manor. There are 462 acres of land under assessment, ratable value Jg621, and
population 15. For purposes of the new Local Government Act, this township
Fias been added to Tissington.
Ballidon is a township and chapelry in this parish containing 1,946 acres of
good limestone land, belonging chiefly to S. W. Cox, Esq., Breadsall ; Mr. Chas.
Etches, Ham, Ashbourne; Mr. E. S. Bradley, Ashbourne; T. M. Gisborne, Esq.,
Walton-on-Trent ; Earl of Mansfield ; Thomas Bateraan, Esq., and John Sleigh,
Esq. The ratable value, according to the last assessment, is £1,849, and the
population, in 1891, was 87.
The manor of Belidene, as the name is spelt in Domesday Book, was
part of the possessions of Ralph Fitzhubert, and in the 14th century it belonged
to the Harthill family. In the following century, Elizabeth, sister and heiress
of Sir Giles Harthill, married Edmund Cockayne, of Ashbourne, a younger branch
of which family resided at Balhdon for several generations. Sir Edward
Cockayne, who died in 1606, sold the manor to Sir Nicholas Ashley, and
subsequently it passed in severalties into the families of Trott, Milward, Hurt,
and others.
The village is distant about five miles N.W. from Wirksworth, and 6^ N.E.
from Ashbourne. The church, which is served from Ballidon, is a small, ancient
buUding in the Norman style, comprising chancel and nave, with bell turret. It
is dedicated to All Saints', and stands in a field a little south of the village. In
1888 it was restored at a cost of £550. The living is annexed to Bradbourn, and
the patronage is vested in the freeholders, who pay a modus of about £11 per annum
in lieu of tithes.
About two miles N. by W. of the village is Minninglow Barrow^ wherein have
been several ancient burials. The tumuli were opened by Mr. Bateman, and a
full account is given in his ** Diggings in Celtic and Saxon Graves."
For the purpose of carrying out the Local Government Act of 1894, Ballidon
has been added to Bradbourn.

marble tablet records the burial of William Byrom, of Byrom hall, Lancashire,
gent., in 1675, and of his son Thomas, in 1714. A tablet to the memory of Harriet
Squambella, who died in 1821 at the age of nine, bears an eulogistic epitaph. The
registers date from 1579. The living is a rectory, net value £230, with residence,
in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield, and held by the Be v. Jas. Furley
Trevitt, B.A. The tithes were commuted in 1838 for £271 ; there are 60 acres

This is a parish and township in the wapentake, petty sessional division,
county court district and deanery of Wirksworth, county council division of
Hartington, union and rural district of Ashbourne. In carrying out the new
Local Government Act a parish council of six members has been assigned to it,
with one representative on the district council. The total area of the parish is
4,145 acres, ratable value £5,296, and the population 690. The land belongs to
several proprietors, of whom the most extensive are H. C. Pole-Gell, Esq., Joseph
Wheatcroft, Esq., John Watson, Esq., George Charlton, Esq., Exors. of Sir Joseph
Whitworth, Bart., Lord Scarsdale, and George Slater, Esq. A substratum of
limestone underlies the parish and characterises the soil, which is chiefly laid
down in meadow and pasture. The parish was once famous for its cheese, but
very little is now made, the farmers finding it more remunerative to sell the milk,
which is forwarded to Manchester and other towns from Longcliff station, on the.

W.I," The gallery at the west end was erected by Sir Philip Gell, Bart., in
1704, for the use of his tenants in Hopton. The church was repaired and re«
roofed in 1854 at a cost of £300, and in 1874 it was reseated with open benches,
and a south porch added. The font is octagonal, and is believed to date from
the 14th century. The registers commence in 1592, and contain several
interesting entries : e.g, — ** 1637. In this year was the parsonage house built."
** 1638. The view tree was sett in the churchyard of Garsington by Wm.
Thorpe, rector, Thom. and Ralph Gell, and Edward Valenc, upon the feast day
of St. Simon and St. Jude." This probably refers to the venerable yew tree still
standing in the churchyard. ** 1688, September 29th. Sarah Tissington, a poor
young woman, bom into the world without any hands or arras, yet was very
nimble and active in the use of her feet, with which she could not only take up
things from the ground, and play at most childish games with her playfellows
when she was a child, but also when grown up she could knit, dig in the garden,
and do divers other services with her feet ; she was aged 24 or 25 years, and
departed this life the day and year aforesaid ; born and buried at Garsington."
The living is a rectory, formerly in the gift of the Dean of Lincoln, but
transferred some years ago to the Bishop of Lichfield, and thence to the Bishop
of Southwell on the formation of that see. In 1536 the clear yearly income was
returned at £5 Is. lOd. ; present net value is £130, derived from tithe rent-charge

treatises on the Improvement of Human Reason and on the Trinity.
A Free School was founded in 1727 by Mrs. Temperance Gell, of Hopton,
who left £220 to be laid out in the purchase of land for its endowment. The
testatrix directed that twenty poor children of Hopton and Garsington should be
taught and clothed. By the recent Education Act the school is free to all, and
the income from the endowment is expended in necessaries for the children. A
large classroom and a playground have been added, and the school is now oDeof
the best equiiiped and most comfortable in the county. There are 70 children on
the books ; Mr. Wni. Henry Pedder, master; Miss Susan Patience Allsop, pupil

CHELMORTON.
This parish comprises the townships of Chelmorton aod Flagg, coDtaining
3,734 acres, and 445 inhabitants. It is in High Peak hundred, county council
division of Tideswell, petty sessional division, county court district, union, and
rural district of Bake well, and deanery of Buxton.
The country around is treeless, and unpicturesque stone walls take the place
of hedgerows.
The township of Chelmorton embraces 1,968 acres of limestone land, which
is wholly in grass. The ratable value is £1,847, and the population in 1891 was
269, showing an increase of 37 since 1881. The principal landowners are the
Duke of Devonshire, the vicar of Bakewell, Exors. of Thomas Swann, Exors. of
Thomas Buxton, the Rev. William Marsden, Exors. of Saumel Percival, Stephen
Melland, Monyash; John Bateman Bagshaw Esq., Highlow Hall, Hathersage ;
Exors. of Bev. S. Cook, John Cookson, and the Exors. of Joseph Hallam.
Chelmorton is not mentioned in the Domesday Book. It is parcel of the
Boyal manor of the High Peak; and the mineral rights are leased from the
Crown by the Duke of Devonshire. Two-thirds of the tithes of the demesne
pasture lands were appropriated to the priory of Lenton, and the remaining third
to the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield. The Talbots had a subordinate manor
here in the reign of Elizabeth, which subsequently passed to the Eyres, of
Hassop; and the Foljambes also held land for several centuries at Chelmorton.
The village is situated 5 miles S.W. from Tideswell, 4i miles S.E. from
Buxton, 7 miles from Bakewell, and 4 miles from Millers Dale station, on the
Midland railway. The church, which is dedicated to St. John the Baptist, is an
ancient and interesting edifice, situated at a considerable elevation above the sea
level. Glover gives the year of erection as 1111, and says that date was found
on an oak beam of the old roof; but C. S. Greaves, Esq., Q.C., writing in the
" Archoeological Journal," says that he examined the beam end then preserved
in a museum at the entrance to Poole's Cavern, but foun^ no date upon it, only a
carving representing "four pillars supporting the floor of a chamber, or some
object of that description." Chelmorton was formerly a chapelry of Bakewell,
and there was undoubtedly a chapel here in Norman times. In 12^6, leave was
granted to Henry Foljambe and four other residents of Chelmorton to found a
perpetual chantry in the chapel of Chelmorton, with rights of sepulture in the
adjoining cemetery; and Dr. Cox is of the opinion that the whole fabric was
rebuilt or very considerably restored about that time. It consists of chanceU
nave, north and south aisles, south transept, south porch, and west tower,,
surmounted by a spire, containing four bells. The church was for several years
under restoration, which was completed in 1874, at a cost of about £2,000, raised
by public subscription. Crossing the chancel arch is an old stone screen, a very
unusual feature in parish churches. It stands about 5^ feet high, and is sur-
mounted by an embattled parapet, with quatrefoil openings. The front is
divided into panels of tracery. The old stone sedilia remain, but they are not
very elaborate. The arches of the south aisle are semicircular, and those on the
north are pointed. The transept was probably the chantry founded by Henry
Foljambe and others. There were, at least, three altars in the church in Catholic
times, as shown by the three piscinsB that remain. The font is of great antiquity,
and is curiously carved. Not the least interesting feature of the church is the
collection of sepulchral slabs in the porch. There are about a dozen fairly
perfect, and fragments of many others. Five of these were discovered, apparently,

CHURCH BROUOHTON.
Tkis is a parish and township in Appletree hundred', county oouncil and
petty sessional division of Sudbury, county court district and union of Burton -on -
Trent, rural district of Bepton, and deanery of Longford. Five parish councillors
have been assigned to it under the Local Government Act of 1894, and, united
with Barton Blount, it elects one district councillor. The boundaries of the civil
and ecclesiastical parish are not coinaident at all points. The area of the former
is 2,000 acres, ratable value £3,852, and the population in 1891 was 465. The
principal landowners are the Duke of Devonshire, who is lord of the manor ;
Henry Jack Gumming, Esq. ; Miss G. Bradshaw ; John Harrison, Esq., Snelston
Hall ; Miss E. Sampson, Bent House ; William S. Richardson, Esq., Quarndon ;
and Mr. Vernon Myatt, Leek. The soil is strong and fertile, and is chiefly in
meadow and pasture. A large quantity of fruit is grown. There is a bed of
excellent clay, which is manufactured into bricks, &c., that commamd a ready
sale.
At the time of ttie Domesday Survey, this manor, then called Broctune,
belonged to the family of Ferrers ; and when, shortly afterwards, the priory of
Tutbury was founded, Henry de Ferrers bestowed it upon the monks of that
bouse. There does not appear to have been any church on the estate at the time
of the grant, but one was erected very soon afterwards, most probably at the
•expense of the convent, and the place was thenceforth distinguished as Kirke-
broughton, or Church Broughton. The manor remained in the possession of the
jnon&s till the dissolution of monasteries by Henry YIII. ; and, in 1552, Edward

House, half-a-mile east of the village, is the property and residence of Miss
Sampson.
Sapperton is a hamlet, comprising three farms and a few cottages, 1^ miles
"west from Church Broughton. It is a distinct manor, and is mentioned in Domes-
day Book as part of the Ferrers' lands, and was held by one Eoger. It afterwards
belonged to the Blounts, and, in 1385, Sir Walter Blount had a grant of free
warren in this and his other manors. A family named Sapperton possessed this
estate in the reign of Henry VTII. The manor afterwards passed to the Agards,
of Foston, and, in 1675, was sold by John Agard to Adam Wolley, from whose
descendants it was purchased by Edmund Evans, Esq. Elizabeth, the daughter
and heiress of that gentleman, married John Harrison, Esq., of Snelston Hall,
vrhose son is the present owner. The Manor House is an ancient building in the
occupation of Mr. George Edge, farmer. The tithes of Sapperton have been
alienated.

CROMFOBD. 345
-south side of the chaDcel is a beautiful monument of white marble by Chantrey,
-erected by Eichard Arkwright, Esq., junior, in memory of his wife and three
infant children. For the greater convenience of the inhabitants a Mission Church,
'with burial ground attached, dedicated to St. Mark, has been erected in the
village. The living is a vicarage, worth £300 per annum, in the gift of F.
C Arkwright, Esq., and held by the Rev. Egbert Hacking, M.A.
Substantial schools were erected in 1832. These have been recently enlarged
and improved in accordance with the requirements of the Elementary Education
Act. There is a total accommodation for 360, and an average attendance
of 269.
The scenery around the village is a picturesque combination of wood, water,
and rock. The new road from Cromford to Matlock is cut through the solid rock,
and forms a dehghtful walk margined with trees, shrubs, and creeping plants. A
little south of the village, near the High Peak railway, is a huge mass of rock
crowned with pine trees, and known as StonniSy or Black Bock. From the
summit there is a magnificent prospect, which has so enraptured the mind of an
enthusiastic visitor that he has left his impression chiselled on the rock —
** Heavens ! what a goodly prospect spreads around us I "
In addition to the cotton manufacture, lead mining was formerly carried on
to a considerable extent in Cromford. A few years ago there were about 14 mines
in operation, but this industry has been discontinued. Some of the mines are
still worked for ochre and other earths, which are manufactured into paints by
the Via Gellia Paint and Colour Company. The works are situated a little west
of the village, near the entrance of the charming walk fancifully named the Via
Gellia, from the Gell family, through whose estates it runs. The road has been
constructed through a narrow, rock-bound valley, the sides of which are richly
clothed with trees and shrubs, and in early spring time the sides of the road are
carpeted with HUes of the vaUey and other wild flowers in rich profusion. The
works cover a considerable extent of ground, and are fitted with the latest and
most improved machinery for the manufacture of the finest pigments. An
extensive business is here carried on, and the productions of the company find a
ready market not only in this country but also in our distant Colonies. A
speciality of the company is umber. They possess the best and most productive
mine in the county, and the umber produced is unrivalled for strength and
richness of colour. Red oxide, red lead, or minium, is also manufactured on an
extensive scale, and is in constant demand on account of its uniform purity and
brilliant colour. Derbyshire has long been celebrated for this manufacture, and
the Via Gelha Company is one of the largest producers in the county. Blacks
of various kinds, drop, ivory, blue, and mineral, chromates, blues, vermillionettes,
and numerous other colours may be seen here in preparation, both in dry colour
and in process of grinding with oil into paints. The works are the property of
Mr. Henry Wheatcroft.
Chabities. — Lady Armyney by a codicil ctf her will, dated 1662, left a yearly rent-charge of
ibis lOs. out of her manor, lands, and tenements in Cromford, for the maintenance of six poor
-widows or widowers, who reside in six almshouses, but when or by whom these were built is
not known. The manor was sold to Sir Richard Arkwright subject to the payment of the above
sum, and also to the repairs of the hospital. This rent-charge was a very inadequate endowment
for the maintenance of six ahnspeople, and it has been handsomely supplemented by James
Charles Arkwright, Esq., of Oak Hill, Cromford, who by deed executed on the 28fch May, 1877,
Invested the sum of two thousand five hundred pounds (£2,500) in 4 per cent. Midland railway
debenture stock, in the name of certain trustees, out of the annual income thereof to pay to
«ach inmate, for the time being, of the six almshouses, such an allowance or sum at the rate
of nob less than 58., or more than 63. per week, as shall be fixed and determined from time to
time by the trustees, having regard to the circumstances and necessities of the respective alms-
people, and the income of the endowment and the other circumstances thereof. Provided the
income of the said sum of £2,500 be more than sufficient to provide and satisfy the objects
Aforesaid, the trustees shall pay and apply the surplus of the said income to the benefit of
deserving and necessitous inhabitants of the parish of Cromford.
CUBLEY. 347
285. The parish extends about four miles along the Ashbourne and Sudbury
road. The surface is undulating, and the soil various — strong iq some places,
gravelly and sandy in others, and is chiefly in pasture. Cubley is in tbe hundred
of Appletree, the electoral division of Sudbury, county court district and poor
law union of Uttoxeter, and petty sessional division and rural deanery of
Ashbourne.
At the time of the Domesday Survey, Cobelei (Cubley) was held by one
Ralph, under Henry de Ferrers, and there were then on the manor a church, a
priest, and one mill worth 12d. This Ealph is supposed to have been the ancestor
of the Montgomeries, who, according to Glover, are known to have been
possessed of this manor as early as a.d. 1160. In 1254 William Montgomery
obtained a grant of a market to be held on Mondays, and a fair of three days at
the feast of St. Andrew ; and his descendant, in 1365, obtained a confirmation of
the grant, but both market and fair have long been abandoned. The last male
heir of the line, Sir John Montgomery, died in 1513, leaving three daughters, and
the one who received this estate as her portion married Sir Thomas Giffard.
They had an only daughter and heiress, who became the first wife of Sir John
Port, of Etwall ; and again the estate fell to a coheiress — the youngest of three
sisters — who conveyed it in marriage to Sir Thomas Stanhope, of Shelford. It
remained with this family till sold by a late Earl of Chesterfield in recent years.
Cubley was the chief seat of the Montgomeries, and was afterwards one of
the seats of the Stanhopes. The hall, which stood a short distance west of the
church, was pulled down about the beginning of last century. The moat which
surrounded it may still be traced.
The village stands a little off the Ashbourne and Sudbury road, six miles
from the former and four miles from the latter, which is also the nearest railway
station. The church, which is dedicated to St. Andrew, is an interesting old
edifice, comprising chancel, nave, south aisle, and a lofty tower at the west end,
surmounted by an embattled parapet with pinnacles. There are four bells in the
tower. The semicircular arches of the aisles are Norman work, as also are the
piers that support the later pointed arch of the chancel, and the massive
circular font. There are no remains of the church that stood here before the
Conquest, and the Norman edifice that succeeded it was largely rebuilt in the
Early English style about a century later. The spacious chancel, measuring only
one foot less each way than the nave, is of that period ; but the east window is
an insertion of the 14th century. On the south side of the chancel arch is
painted on the plaster, ** Mr. John Shirley, Rector, Robt. Whiting, churchwarden,
Anno Dom. 1728," from which it is inferred that certain repairs were effected at
that time. The chancel was tastefully restored a few years ago by the present
rector. The east window, of five lights, is filled with beautiful stained glass, by
Messrs. Burlisson and Grylls, in memory of Lebbeus Charles Humfrey, of her
Majesty's Council, and Emma, his wife. It was erected by their children in 1874^
The other windows of the chancel, two single lancet lights on the south side and
two on the north, are filled with ancient glass representing the figures of saints ;
and a third on the south side, representing St. Andrew, is a memorial of William
Yates. The Montgomeries were buried in this church ; but only two or three of
their monuments, very much mutilated, now remain. Against the north wall of
the chancel is an alabaster monument bearing the effigy of a knight in armour,
minus the legs and left arm, which have been broken off. The inscription has
disappeared, but it is probably the tomb of Sir Nicholas Montgomery, who died
in 1435. In the south-east corner is a small effigy of a female, sculptured in high
relief. A portion of the inscription, *• Here lyeth Catharine * * '^' ," could
formerly be read. There are the remains of another ancient monument in the
aisle. In the chancel is a tablet to John Lonsdale, D.D., Bishop of Lichfield,
who died in 1867 ; and another to John Davys, late patron of the church, who died
in 1872. The tower is in the Perpendicular style, and is ornamented, with
sculptured shields of arms, chiefly those of Montgomery, The living is a rectory,
net value £380, derived from the tithes, in the gift of the Exors. of the late John

NORTH DARLEY.
This parish consists of the township of Darley Dale, and formerly included
also that of Wensley-with-Snitterton. Its area is 5,095 acres, reliable value
£15,958, and the population in 1891 was 2,179, an increase of 331 siace the last
census. The parish is in the High Peak hundred, county council electoral
division of Winster, county court district and petty sessional division ot
Wirksworth, poor law union and deanery of Bakewell. Under the Local
NOBTH DABLEY. 351
Government Act of 1894, North Darley urban district returns three guardians and
12 urban district councillors.
The parish lies on the east bank of the Derwent, and is intersected by the
Manchester and Derby branch of the Midland railway, on which there is a station
about half-a-mile from the village. The principal landowners are Lady
Whitworth, the trustees of James Dakeyne, Esq., Bridgeman Langdale Barrow,
Esq., the Rev. Frederick Atkinson, T. W. Potter, Esq., Gilbert Winter, Esq.,
and A. S. M. Smedley, Esq.
The dale abounds with scenes of picturesque beauty. The Dorwent winds its
way in many a sinuous bend, fringed here and there with bands of woodland ;
and beyond, are gently rising hills, clothed in places with a rich growth of timber,
cultivated in others, and occasionally exposing to view the gritstone and
limestone of which they are formed. The former is extensively quarried by
Mr. C. Drabble, propriet©r of the Old Bentley Brook and Farley quarries. Mr.
Deeley has also a quarry in the parish ; and there was formerly an extensive one
at StanclifTe, whence was obtained the stone used in the erection of St. George's
Hall, Liverpool.
The manor of Darley, at the time of the Domesday Survey, formed part of the
demesnes of the Crown ; and in the reign of Edward I. it was held in moieties
by the families of Kendall and Darley ; the former held their portion by an
annual payment of 13s. 4d. towards the maintenance of Peak Castle, and their
moiety became known as the Old Hall manor. From the Kendalls it passed by
marriage to the Cotterels ; and was subsequently for some time in the possession
of the Foljarabes. The heiress of Sir Godfrey Foljambe married Sir Robert
Plompton, steward of Knaresborough Castle. It subsequently changed hands
several times, and in 1631 was purchased by an ancestor of tha Duke of Rutland,
the present lord of the manor.
The other moiety of Darley manor, known as Nejbher Hall manor or Whifcwell
Hall manor, passed through several generations of the Darley family to Thomas
Cglumbell, of Sandiacre, husband of Agnes, sister and heir to Sir Ralph Darley,
who died in 1370. Nether Hall became the chief residence of the Columbells till
the extinction of the male line in 1673. Katherine Columbell, sister and heiress
of the last owner, married William Marbury, of Marbury, Cheshire, but having no
issue, she bequeathed the estate to Gilbert Thacker, who had married her late
husband's sister. Shortly afterwards, it was purchased by the Greensniiths, of
Wirks worth, and it passed from them to the Beards, by whom it was sold in
parcels. In 1790, Nether Hall with the adjoining land was purchased by Mr.
Richard Arkwright, who pulled down the ancient manor house, and used the
materials in the erection of a house now called Darley Hall, a little lower down
the hill.
The village of Darley, or Church Town as it is usually called, stands near the
Derwent, three miles N.W. from Matlock, and 19 miles by rail from Derby. The
fertile pastures and the beautiful scenery around give the place the aspect of
rural felicity. The most interesting object in the village is the fine old church,
with its numerous monuments — ^memorials of men and women who passed away
centuries ago. It is dedicated to St. Helen, and consists of chancel with north
vestry, nave with side aisles, south porch, north and south transepts, and a west
tower containing five bells. There was a church here in Saxon times, but the pre-
sent edifice dates from the Norman period, though subsequent restorations in the
style of architecture that prevailed at the time have nearly obliterated all the
original Norman work. The church appears to have been largely rebuilt in the Early
English style about the end of the 12th century, as shown by the lancet windows
that remain in various parts of the edifice. It was again restored in the
Decorated Gothic of the 14th century, and this is now the most prominent style
throughout the whole structure. The aisles belong to this period, but the differ-
ence in the shape of the pillars supporting the arches on the north and south sides
shows that they were not erected at the same time. The chancel is mostly in the
Bame style, but a subsequent restoration is visible in the tracery of the east
NOBTH DABLEY. 853
volumes. A Cottage Hospital was erected by the trustees of the late Sir Joseph
Whitworth, Bart., in 1889.
A little south-east is the village of Two Dales, locally corrupted into Toadhole,
Here was a flax manufactory, established and long carried on by the Dakeynes, a
family famous for their inventions in machinery. The industry has been discon-
tinued for some years. About a mile-and-a-half north is Stancliffe Hall, the seat
and property of Lady Whitworth, widow of the late Sir Joseph Whitworth, the
celebrated inventor of rifled cannon. The grounds include the once well-known
Stanclifle quarry, now converted into a beautiful and picturesque rockery. A
little to the east, at the extremity of a little dell, is Sydnope, formerly the residence
of the late Sir Francis Darwin.
Darley Flash, Upper Hackney ^ and Farley are hamlets in the parish. Here
are the nurseries of Messrs. James Smith & Sons, occupying about 300 acres of
ground, where may be seen growing in native luxuriance the trees, shrubs,
heaths, and flowers of every clime " from Indus to the Pole." The varieties are
inniunerable, and the individual specimens of each species are counted by the
thousand. The Charlestown nm'sery, appropriated to rhododendrons, contains at
least a million specimens of that flowering shrub, and forest and ornamental trees
and shrubs are quite as numerous. The Siberian nursery is devoted to plants,
trees, and shrubs whose habitat is the cold regions of the North ; the Canada
nursery exemplifies the vegetation of North America. Here are beautiful speci-
mens of the several varieties of the fir and pine, daphnes and mezereon, bearing
remarkably fine fragrant Uoom in early spring before the leaves have made their
appearance. In another nursery are uncountable numbers of beautiful ornamental
trees and shrubs for gentlemen's pleasure grounds, whilst another portion of
ground is allotted to the cultivation of rose trees, hardy heaths, narcissus, and
other flowering plants, which in the summer season are a perfect blaze of colour.
Visitors are always welcome, and are conducted through the various nurseries
with the greatest courtesy. The nurseries are on a gigantic scale, and every
order, however large and varied it might be, placed with Messrs. Smith, can be
completed from their Darley Dale nurseries.
The Darley Dale Hydropathic Establishment is a large and handsome stone
structure, erected on the most improved plan for the mild water treatment of
disease. The sanitary arrangements are perfect, and an equable temperature is
maintained throughout the building by its admirable system of hot-water pipes.
The rooms are tastefully decorated, and sumptuously furnished. The house
stands at a height of 350 feet above the sea-level, but is sheltered from the north
and east winds. The park which surrounds it covers about 50 acres, and is
entered from the main road by a handsome stone lodge, from which a spacious
carriage drive leads to the principal entrance. The scenery around is of a most
lovely description.
Wensley and Snittebton form a joint township in the hundred of Wirks-
worth and parish of Darley ; there are about 2,008 acres of land under
assessment ; ratable value, £3,62 i ; population, 754. The principal owners are
the Exors. of Kev. Mr. Holmes, John Sleigh, Esq., Wm. Garratt, Alport ; John
Heathcote, Winster ; Lady Whitworth, Robert Parker, Mrs. Laura M. Killick,
Wm. Wain, Wensley Hall ; Peter Bailey, Rowsley ; Henry Chas. Heathcote,

well ; Thomas Allen Bains, Winster ; Thomas Coates, Winster ; F. C. Arkwright,

fortune, ardent and chivalrous, aud a devoted admirer of the captive Queen of
Scots. Through the perfidious wiles of one Pooley, a spy in the pay of Queen
Elizabeth's secretary, Walsingham, he and several other gentlemen were induced
to join in a conspiracy which had for its object the assassination of Elizabeth
and the liberation of Mary Queen of- Scots. Walsingham, if not the originator,
was cognisant of the plot from its beginning, and the conspirators — fourteen in
number — ^finding they had been betrayed, sought safety in concealment, but were
shortly afterwards taken, tried, and condemned in September, 1586. By the
desire of Queen Elizabeth their execution was carried out in a most barbarous
manner, so as to ** protract the extremitie of payne." Aware of the penalty
which failure in such a treasonable enterprise would subject him to, Babington
made over the Dethick estate to his younger brother, George, before engaging in
the conspiracy, but the rest of his lands were confiscated, and given to Sir Walter
Baleigh. George Babington was a man of extravagant habits, and becoming
involved in pecuniary difficulties the estate was sold to Wendesley Blackwall,
Esq., and about 1680 it became the property of Samuel Hallo wes, Esq., from
whom it has descended to the present owners.
The church, or rather chapel, of Dethick, dedicated to St. John the Baptist,
was founded in 1279 by Geoffrey Dethick and Thomas, prior of Felley Monastery,
in Nottinghamshire. In 1312 a chantry was founded in this chapel by Roger de
Wyngerworth, who endowed it with lands of the value of 20s. yearly. The
edifice was restored and the tower rebuilt by one of the Babingtons in 1535, but
a considerable portion of the original work remains in the nave and chancel. The
clerestory windows on each side, an unusual feature where there are no side
aisles, were probably added at that time. The tower, light and elegant, is
surmounted by battlements, which were renewed in 1866. Below the bell
chamber windows is a broad frieze or belt, on which are sculptured numerous
shields of arms, now much defaced from the effects of the elements. The living,
net value £110, is in the gift of the lord of the manor, and held by the Rev. C. H.
Leacroft, who is also vicar of Bracken field.
Lea is a hamlet and populous village closely adjoining Dethick, and 2^ miles
from Cromford station on the Midland railway. This manor belonged to Robert
de Alveley in the reign of King John. He left two daughters coheiresses, the elder
of whom married a Ferrers, whose son sold his moiety of the manor to Sir Geoffrey
Dethick, from whom it descended to the Babingtons. The younger daughter
married one of the De la Leas, and this moiety was sold by her descendant to the
Frechevilles, from whom it was purchased, in the 14th century, by a younger son
of Sir Ralph RoUeston, remaining with this family till the latter part of the reign
of Queen Elizabeth, when this branch of the Rollestons became extinct. It then
passed to the Pershalls of Horsley, Stafford, by one of whom it was sold to
Hodgkinson and Cowley. In 1707, it was purchased by Peter Nightingale, Esq.,
and Lea Hurst became the residence of that family. The mansion, seated high
up amongst rocks and woods, is chiefly interesting from its association with
Florence Nightingale, the heroine of the Crimea. This lady, the younger
daughter of W. E. Nightingale, Esq., owner of the estate, was born to wealth
and luxury, but she preferred to emulate the noble band of Sisters of Mercy in
their endeavours to alleviate suffering. She underwent training for the work at
the Protestant Deaconesses' Institution at Kaiserworth, and after three years'
preparation she entered on her life's work. The Crimean War had commenced
and the hospitals were crowded. Her proffered services were accepted, and,
accompanied by a picked band of helpers, she left England for Scutari, where,
with an utter disregard of self, she tended the sick and wounded and snatched
many a brave fellow from the grip of Death. Lea Hurst is now the residence of
Sir Joseph Cocksey Lee, who received the honour of knighthood in 1882, in
reward for his services in the commercial negociations with France.
The village of Lea stands 2^^ miles east from Cromford station. Lea Hall, a
quaint old house, was the residence of the early lords of the manor, and here
was formerly a chapel, dedicated to St. Mary, founded by Robert Alveley in the
ELTON AND EYAM.
373
caused an exact facsimile of it to be sculptured, which now standd in the church.
There are three bells in the tower, all of 17th-century date. The registers
commence in 1690. The living, formerly a perpetual curacy, has in recent years
been constituted a rectory. In 1725 the landowners contributed £200 towards
the endowment of the Hving, and the patronage, which had previously been
exercised by the vicar of Youlgrave, was transferred to the resident freeholders.
A further sum of £200 was received from Queen Anne's Bounty, and the same
amount from a Parliamentary grant, and at the inclosure of the common lands in
Elton, in 1809, 49 acres were allotted to the incumbent in lieu of tithes. The
living is now worth £123 net, with residence, and has been held by the Bev.
Timothy Johnson, M.A., since 1882.
There was a chantry in this church founded by Sir Godfrey Foljambe, and
endowed with lands in Elton and Gratton for the maintenance of a priest to say
Mass daily in the chapel.
The Wesleyans, Primitive Methodists, and Wesleyan Reform Union have
each a chapel in the village. The National School, with master's house attached,
was built at a cost of £600, raised by public subscription, in 1862, and enlarged in
1890. There are about 80 children in average attendance. The village feast is
held on the festival of All Saints (November 1).
In June, 1844, a barrow or ancient grave mound was opened on Elton Moor,
in which were found a skeleton, a flint arrow-head, fragments of an urn, and a
drinking cup, a flint celt, and other relics of the primitive Britons.

discovered more than two centuries ago, but was discontinued on account of the
influx of water upwards of a century ago. The quantity of metal obtained from
this vein was so great that the rector's annual income was increased from £150 to
about £1,000. Other productive mines have been laid in, not from exhaustion of
the metal, but from inability to cope with the water. Many years ago a sough or
adit, for the purpose of efiectually drawing off the water, was commenced, but it
was ultimately abandoned on account of the great expense. The mines are now
closed. Those lately in operation were the Black Engine, Eyam Mines, Lady
Wash, Glebe Shaft, Broadlow, Little Pastures, and Watergrove.
The village of Eyam is pleasantly situated on the declivity of a mountain
ridge that shelters it from the north winds, 12 miles S.S.W. from Sheffield, 11
miles N.N.E. from Buxton, and five from Hassop station on the Manchester
branch of the Midland railway. The houses are built of the grey limestone of
the locality, and present a clean and comfortable appearance. The village
possesses many attractions ; the scenery around is of a most beautiful and
romantic character ; historical associations crowd around its name ; but its chief
interest centres in the scene of desolation witnessed here in 1666, when it was
almost depopulated by the plague, and the Christian heroism and self-sacrificing
devotion of the Rev. William Mompesson, the worthy rector of the parish. This
was the last visit of the plague to this country. The pestilence made its
appearance in London towards the end of 1664, and in the month of September,
1665, it broke out in the secluded village of Eyam. The contagion, it is said,
was conveyed in a box containing clothes and tailors' patterns sent from London.
It was unpacked by a man named Vicars, who very shortly afterwards was seized
with violent sickness ; and the character of the disease soon revealed itself by the
fatal token — a purple spot appearing on his breast. The whole of the household,
with the exception of the wife, shared the same fate. The contagion spread, and
there was soon scarcely a house in the parish that had not its victim or victims ; so
cruelly devastating were its ravages, that out of a population of 350, 260 fell beneath
its sway. When once the symptoms of the disease had manifested themselves, all
hope of recovery was abandoned, and the dissolution of the patient was awaited
with anxious solicitude. ** In the churchyard, on the neighbouring hills, and in
the fields bordering the village," says Rhodes, ** graves were dug to receive the
expiring sufferers, and the earth, with unhallowed haste, was closed upon them
even whilst the limbs were yet warm, and almost palpitating with life."
In the midst of this scene of desolation and death there stands forth in the
boldest relief the form of one ministering angel, the pious and self-sacrificing
rector of the parish, who remained with his plague-stricken fiock nobly
performing the duties of his office, and his wife heroically shared in the peril,
ultimately falling a victim to the fell disease. Having sent his own two children
to a place of safety in Yorkshire, he urged his flock to remain at their own
homeSy and not to seek immunity in flight, which would only tend to scatter the
seeds of death over a wide field. The salutary measures which he adopted
Umited the affected area, and were eventually, under Providence, the means of
stamping out the disease. He arranged for supplies of provisions to be deposited
at certain spots, where troughs of water were placed to purify the money left in
exchange ; and the parishioners undertook not to pass beyond this boundary.
The efforts of the worthy rector during this trying period were ably seconded by
the Rev. Thomas Stanley, a former rector of Eyam, who had been ejected for his
non-conformity.
The church is an ancient structure, consisting of chancel and nave, north and
sooth aisles, and western tower containing four bells. There was no church at
Eyam at the time of the Domesday Survey, but one appears to have been erected
soon afterwards. This was rebuilt in the Early English period. The only
remains of the former edifice are a distinctly Norman pillar and a Norman font,
and subsequent restorations have almost obliterated every trace of Early English
work. In the west wall of the tower is a stone bearing several initials, probably
those of churchwardens, and the date 1615, headed by the letters G. W. This

HARTINGTON.
This parish comprises the township of Hartington Town Qtiarter, containing
3,433 acres, of which 3,828^ acres are under assessment ; ratable value, £3,900 ;
population, 401. The old parish was of very considerable extent, stretching 16
miles lengthwise, and in some parts five miles crosswise, and included the town-
ships of Town Quarter, Middle Quarter with Earl Sterndale chapelry. Nether
Quarter, and Upper Quarter. The parish is in the hundred of Wirksworth ; county
council division of Hartington; petty sessional division, union, and county court
district of Ashbourne; and deanery of Buxton. It has a parish council of five
members, and it elects one rural district councillor. The Duke of Devonshire is
lord of the manor and principal owner. The other landowners are the Exors. of
Prank Kirkham ; William Redfern, Esq., Bakewell ; Philip Beresford Hope, Esq.;
John Sleigh, Esq. ; Wm. Orford, Geo. Briggs, Liverpool; Exors. of T. W. Bateman,
Esq., Middleton Hall; G. Kirkham, Esq., Heathcote; John Kirkham, Hartington ;
William Wright, Bradbourn ; Exors. of Isaac Percival, and Charles Broadhurst.
The manor of Hartington was one of the many held by the family of Ferrers,
one of whom, in the reign of King .John, obtained a licence for a market in his
town of Hartington, and a three days' fair at the festival of St. Giles. On the
attainder of Robert de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, this manor was granted to Edmund,
Earl of Lancaster. It remained annexed to the Duchy of Lancaster till 1603,
when it was granted by King James to Sir George Hume, one of the Scotchmen
who accompanied James to England, and was honoured with the Chancellorship
of the Exchequer. Having reverted to the Crown, it was granted by the same
monarch in 1617 to Sir George Villiers, and it was purchased from his descendant,
the Duke of Buckingham, in 1663, by WilHam Cavendish, Earl of Devonshire.
The parish lies on the east bank of the river Dove, which separates it from
the county of Stafford. Here is a narrow rock-bound glen of remarkable beauty,
named Beresford Dale, from the ancient residence of the Beresfords on the
Staffordshire side of the river. The rocks rise in perpendicular cliffs, diversified
by wood and crag ; the bold front of limestone is relieved with trailing creepers,
and on every ledge and in every crevice the groups of trees and shrubs have a
most picturesque effect. The walks by the river are well kept, and the gay bloom
of the rhodendrons and other flowering shrubs which grow here in profusion,
mingling with the ever-varying tints of the foliage, add their charms to an
enchanting scene, and present a striking contrast with the treeless district that
lies between Hartington and Bakewell. The river affords excellent fishing, and
to votaries of the rod and line it has been rendered sacred by its association with
leaak Walton and his friend Charles Cotton, the angler poet, who delighted in
singing the praises of his '' beloved nymph, fair Dove." Here stands the little
fishing house which he erected in 1674, and dedicated to fishermen. The Charles
Cotton Hotel is a large and well-appointed establishment, where visitors and
tourists will find every accommodation. Fishing tickets can be obtained here by
visitors.
The soil is generally limestone of good quality. On Mr. Wager's farm,
Hartington Moor, there are about two acres of sand resembling gannister, and

Borough family. The living is a perpetual curacy in the gift of trustees, worth
£294, and in the incumbency of the Bev. Robert Leighton Barnett, M.A., St.
Peter's College, Cambridge. The tithes were commuted in 1847, the rectorial for
£122, and the vicarial for £9.
There are two Nonconformist chapels in the village belonging to the
Weeleyan and Primitive Methodists respectively. The school is endowed with
£400, given by the Borough family.
HuLLAND Wabd is a township comprising 1,559 acres, ratable value £2,950,
population 392. The principal owners are J. C. B. Borough, Esq., Lord
Scarsdale, B. W. Cbandos Pole, Esq., Mr. Wallis, J. G. Crompton, Esq., Mr.
George Travis, Mr. John Yates, Mr. J. B. Evans-Blackwall, Henry Swingler,
Esq., Mrs. Travis, John Shaw, Esq., Mrs. Milnes, Mr. George Cooper, and Mr.
George Thomas Webster White. The soil is mostly gravel and sand, and is
chiefly laid down in pasture and grass. The district formerly embraced under
the name of Hulland Ward was an extensive tract of open country mostly extra-
parochial, which, at the enclosure, was divided amongst the eight adjoining
parishes. Mansell Park, consisting of two farms, and Shiuikton Manor are now
added to this township for rating purposes, but ecclesiastically they remain in
Mugginton, as before. The latter has been in the occupation of the Johnson
family for many years. The house was rebuilt, in 1729, by Samuel Burton, Esq.,
and contains a fine oak cabinet of the time of Queen Anne. Ward Gate is a
village in the township, and Cross-o' -tK -Hands is a hamlet so named from a
public-house that formerly stood here. The Primitive Methodists have a small
chapel here, built in 1831.
Hulland Ward Intakes is a township and small village comprising 452
acres of land belonging to J. C. B. Borough, Esq., Lord Scarsdale, the Vicar of
Mugginton, and Mr. George Smedley. It is valued for rating purposes at £513,
and had, in 1891, a population of 27. A chapel was founded here and endowed
with 18 acres of land by one Francis Brown in 1723. It has never been consecrated,
and consequently bears no dedication, but is popularly known by the soubriquet
of '* Halter Devil Chapel." Various versions of the origin of this curious name
have been pubUshed, but the following is the story most generally current
amongst the oldest gossips : — Brown once had occasion to make a journey after
night-fall. The night was wild and stormy, and vivid flashes of lightning,
accompanied by terrific peals of thunder, followed each other in quick succession.
A servant boy was sent to bring his horse out of the field, but the boy, terrified
by the thunder, was unable to catch the animal, and returned without it. Brown
was a drunken, dissolute, devil-may-care man, and, taking the halter from the
boy, he swore that if he couldn't halter the horse he would halter the Devil.
Lantern in hand he went to the field, secured what he thought was his horse and
brought it to the stable, where it vanished in a flash of lightning. From that
time Brown became a changed man, and built a chapel and endowed ic with 18
acres of land on condition that divine service be held therein once a month by
the rector of Mugginton. The chapel adjoins the farmhouse, and was rebuilt on
a little larger scale a few years ago, at a co.st of £70. Previous to the rebuilding
of the house, about 28 years ago, the following inscription was on a stone above
the door : —
Francis Brown in his old age
Did build him here an hermitage. 1723.
and these additional lines were subsequently painted underneath : —
Who being old and fall of evil
He one night haltered the devil.
The Mugginton registers record his death in 1731, but nothing further is known
of him.
Biggin is a small township containing 635 acres of land ; ratable value £985,
and population 112. The soil is various, but mostly clay and peat, and is chiefly
in pasture. The principal owners are J. B. Evans-Blackwall, Esq., Mr. William
LONGSTONE. 405
conveniently sitnated hotel kept by Mr. C. H. Buzzard. At the west end of the
village is an ancient stone cross, and in another place may be seen the buU-rins —
a relic of the brutal sport in which our forefathers delighted. The church, which
is dedicated to St. Giles, is an ancient edifice of stone, in the Gothic style, con-
sisting of chancel, nave, north and south aisles, south porch, and western tower
containing five bells. This church has fortunately suffered very little from the
efforts of modern improvers, and in the late restoration completed in 1873, and
carried out under the direction of Norman Shaw, Esq., architect, all its ancient
details have been reverently preserved or replaced by carefully executed copies.
The most striking feature of the interior is the fine old roofs of chancel, nave, and
aisles, with their moulded rafters, embattled cornices, and beautifully carved
bosses. The east window of five lights is filled with stained glass in memory of
the Wright family. The aisles are separated from the nave by six narrow pointed
arches, and the east end of the south aisle is shut off by an old oak screen, on
which are the arms of Eyre impaling Stafford, and an armed leg — the crest of the
family. Within the enclosure is a black marble tablet, imbedded in which is a
finely engraved plate of copper inscribed as follows : —
" Here lyeth Bowland Eyre of Hassope, Esq., and Gartrede, his wif!e, one of the daughters
And coheiresse of Homfrey Stafford, Esq., by whoe hee had twelve children, eight sonnes and
iower daughters, whoe hathe given unto the Ghappel of Greate Longsden for the maintenance of
Divine Service XXs. yerely, and to the Ghappel of Bstslowe for the maintenance of Divine
Service there XLs. yerely, to be paid by equal! portions at the feasts of the Annuntiation of the
Blessed Virgin S. Marie and St. Michaell ye Archangel, and also hath given unto the poore of
the towne of Greate Longsden XXs. yerely, to be paid three days before Christmas and three
days^before Easter for ever. All which said several sumes are to be paied by Thomas Eyre, his
Bonne and heir apparent, and his heiress for ever. To whom I have given all my landes and
rents in Tadington and Greate Longsden for ever for the true payment and parformanoe of
ye same,
Soe leavinge the miseries and troubles of this world with desire all may cease, I desire that
all good Christians that read this will pray
Anno Dom. 1624."
Above the inscription are the figures of a man and woman kneeling at desks
face to face, and each holding a rosary in their hands. Between them is a repre-
sentation of a skull and cross bones, but the crucifix that once surmounted them
has been carefully obliterated, as has also the prayer for their souls at the end of
the inscription. The Eyres were then, and still remain unshaken in their
allegiance to the old religion ; and though the above Eowland left two small en-
dowments for the support of the churches of Great Longstone and Baslow, the
crucifix and supplicatory prayer on his monument savoured too much of Popery
for Protestant zeal to tolerate. The old oak pews were replaced by modern seats
at the restoration. The old churchyard cross remains nearly perfect.
The living, formerly a perpetual curacy, is now a vicarage, in the gift of the
Vicar of Bakewell, and held by the Rev. Giles Andrew, M. A. Its net value is
returned at £192, with residence.
There is a small Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in the village, erected in 1842,
and good National Schools, built by subscription in 1862. The village feast is held
on the first Sunday after the 11th of September.
Holme is a hamlet, containing 476 acres, adjoining Bakewell on the north.
It is included in the township of Great Longstone for all civil purposes, but is
entirely detached therefrom by the intervening township of Rowland. The estate
formerly belonged to Bernard Wells, Esq., who resided at Holme Hall, which he
bnilt in 1626. His daughter and coheiress married an Eyre.
Little Longstone is a township adjoining Great Longstone, Its estimated
extent is 1,012 apres, ratable value £4,411, and population 145. There is the far-
famed Monsall Dale, through which the river Wye winds its way in many a
deviooB curve between green meadows or fern clad rocks and wooded banks,
dotted here and there by rustic cottages almost hidden from view by the fine ash
trees which surround them. The Midland Railway passes through the town-
ship, and is carried across the dale by a viaduct of five arches, 70 feet above the
MATLOCK BATH. 431
spring supplies the Fountain Baths, opposite the fountain in the Victoria
promenade. These baths, which are public, and unconnected with any hotel,
were remodelled in 1882, and are now replete with every convenience. There are
hot, tepid, and shower baths. The swimming bath, 60 feet long by 22 feet wide,
is supplied with water direct from the spring at a temperature of 68° Fahrenheit.
The daily flow averages 600,000 gallons, which replenishes the bath about 18
times in 24 hours. The following analysis of the thermal springs was made by
Dr. Dupr6, P.B.S., lecturer on chemistry at the Westminster Hospital : —

Holy Trinity Church is a handsome cruciform edifice in the Decorated
Gothic style, erected in 1842, at a cost of £2,250. In 1874-5 the chancel was
lengthened, and a south aisle added, at an expense of about £700. The tower is
surmounted by a crocketed spire, 129 feet high. The chancel window and the
reredos, of Derbyshire marble, were the gift of Mrs. Clarke, of Masson Lodge.
The living is a vicarage worth £260 per annum, in the gift of five trustees, and
held by the Bev. Charles Baker.
The Congregational Chapel, situated near Masson Mill, was built in 1777 by
Sir Bichard Arkwright, as a residence for his partner, Mr. Need, whose son-in-
law (Mr. Abney) converted it into a chapel. Shortly afterwards it was offered
for sale, and was purchased by Lady Glenorchy, then visiting Matlock Bath, for
a chapel for the use of the Independents. On the death of Lady Glenorchy, this
chapel was devised to Captain Scott, who gave up his commission in the dragoons
and ministered here. It was subsequently placed in the hands of trustees. The
Eev. T. M. Newnes held the pastorate for some years, and it was here George
Newnes, Esq., M.P., the enterprising editor of ** Tit-Bits," ** The Strand
Magazine/' and other papers, was bom. The Wesleyan Methodists have a hand-
some chapel on Derwent Parade, built at a cost of £2,000 ; and another at
Scarthin, erected in 1810, enlarged in 1840, at a cost of £400, and renovated
about twelve years ago at an expense of £300. The Primitive Methodists have a
chapel at Scarthin, and there is also a Mission Boom in connection with the
Parish Church.
WiUersley Castle, the seat of F. C. Arkwright, Esq., J.P., C.C, is situated on
the confines of the parish, adjoining Cromford. It is a large quadrangular
mansion, with embattled parapet, erected in 1788, from the designs of Mr. W.
Thomas. The house occupies an elevated position, from which grassy lawns
slope to the bank of the Derwent. A wooded eminence forms the background,
and immediately behind the castle rises an immense range of perpendicular rocks,
adorned with trees, shrubs, lichens, mosses, and creeping plants. The extensive
and beautiful grounds are thrown open to visitors at certain times. The builder
of the castle and the founder of the family was Sir Bichard Arkwright, the
humble barber and itinerant hair merchant of Preston. He was a man of
inventive genius, and his first experiments in mechanics was an attempt to solve
the problem of perpetual motion. He afterwards devoted his attention to the
improvement of machinery for spinning cotton, and in this he achieved a decided
success. His invention revolutionized the cotton trade, and contributed
essentially to sender this branch of manufacture the most considerable in the
world. His first patent for his spinning machine, which ultimately became the
MATLOCK BATH.

ROWSLEY AND ALPORT.
Bowsley and Alport form a joint township containing 671 acres of land,
belonging solely to the Dake of Eutland, who is also lord of the manor. The
ratable value is £2,017, and the number of inhabitants 301. It is in the hundred
of High Peak, electoral and petty sessional division, poor law union, county court
8UTT0N-0N-THE-HILL. 466
This estate forms part of the endowment of the Hospital or Bluecoat
School founded by Humphry Ghetham, in Manchester, and was purchased for
that purpose, as directed by the benevolent founder's will.
The village occupies an elevated position, whence its name, eight miles
W. from Derby and three mile*^ from Etwall station, on the North Staffordshire
railway. The church, dedicated to St, Michael, is a good stone structure, situated
on an eminence, and is a conspicuous object in the landscape for miles around.
It was rebuilt in 1863, and consists of chancel, with vestry and organ chamber
on the north side, nave, north aisle, south porch, and west tower surmounted by
an octagonal spire. A few portions of the old building were retained. The four
pointed arches of the nortn aisle belonged to that edifice, and date from the
14th century. The tower is Early English, but the spire which crowns it, having
been struck by lightning on the 19th of June, 1841, was taken down and rebuilt
at a cost of £84. When the chancel arch was taken down, in 1863, 13 silver
coins of the reign (rf Henry III. (1216-1272) vere found in a stone. The east
window is a memorial of tne Rev. German Buckston, vicar of this parish, and
the two windows on the south side of the chancel are filled with stained glass in
memory of Ellen Margaret Buckston, his widow. There are several monuments
in the chancel to the Sleigh family, former lords of Ashe. One is a costly
sarcophagus monument of alabaster, to the memory of Judith Sleigh, who died
in 1634, and is said to be the only one of the kind in England. The reredos,
pulpit, and desk are all of alabaster. The brass lectern was the gift of Mrs.
Gurzon. There are six bells in the tower, three having been recently added,
two by Miss Dakin and one by the vicar. The church was appropriated at an
early period to Trentham Priory, and it remained with that convent till the
Reformation. The rectorial tithes and advowson then passed to the Grown,
and were purchased by the Sleighs in 1603. From the latter they have
descended through the Ghethams and Gottons to the Buckston s. The living is
worth £160 per annum ; present vicar and patron, the Rev. Rowland German
Buckston, M.A. (Brasenose Gollege, Oxon). The registers date from 1565. The
book of churchwardens' accounts contains some rather amusing entries. On
July 1, 1764, Samuel Lygo was appointed to whip dogs out of the church
whenever service was held ; also to prevent anyone sleeping in the church, by
waking them with a white wand. His remuneration for this work was five
shillings a year.
A new vicarage house was built in 1894, by the trustees of Queen Anne's
Bounty ; and in 1873 the Governors of Ghetham Hospital gave the land for the
erection of the present school, which superseded the old endowed school, built in
1735. The Feast is held on the first Sunday after October 11th (Old Michaelmas
Day.)
Ash is a small township containing 692)^ acres of land, belonging solely to the
Rev. R. G. Buckston, and valued for rating purposes at £1,349. There is no
village ; the inhabitants, 73 in number, live in scattered houses. The Ashe is a
large mansion of brick, with stone dressings, erected in 1869-70, and situated in
its own grounds, which are tastefully laid out in shrubberies, &c. This township
is in the southern parliamentary division, and is united with Sutton-on-the-Hill
for the election of a district councillor.
OsLiSTON AND Thukvabton form a joint township, containing 1,685 acres of
land, owned by Miss Bradshaw ; Mr. Frank Stretton, Gropper Top ; Ghetham
Hospital, Manchester; Mr. Thomas Holmes, Brailsford ; John Brassington,
Sutton -on-the-Hill ; Stephen Bagshaw, Derby; and Daniel Shaw, Cropper Farm.
The total ratable value is £2,999, and the population 293. Osliston and
Thurvaston are two small villages about half-a-mile apart. In Domesdiiy Book
they are entered as distinct manors, Oswardestune and Torverdestune ; the
former was held by one John, under Henry de Ferrers, and the latter by Elfin. In
the reign of Henry II., another John, who appears to have held both places, and
is supposed to have been the ancestor of the Montgomeries, gave half the tithes
TADDINGTON. 467
TADDINGTON.
This parish comprises the townships of Taddington and Priestcliffe, Black-
well, and Brushfield, containing 4,711 acres of land, and 431 inhabitants. It is
in the hundred of High Peak, electorial division of Tides well, petty sessional
division, county court district, and union and rural district of Bakewell, and
deanery of Buxton.
The township of Taddington embraces 3,012 acres, ratable value £5,397, and
population 363. The land is owned by the following proprietors: — N. Flint,
Buxton; Youlgrave Friendly Society; Lord Denman, Stoney Middleton; Trustees
of Tideswell Grammar School; Joseph Potter, Ashbourne; Miss Swann, Buxton;
Exors. of William Finney; Joseph Gyte, Wheston; Taddington Oddfellows'
Society; Bichard Dunn, Priestcliff: Francis Dunn, Flagg; Thomas Dakin,
Millers Dale; Bev. and Hon. Lord Scarsdale, Kedleston; H. P. Bagshaw, Esq.,
Taddington; John Gookson, Salford; Exors. of William Brown; Thomas Roberts,
Newcastle-on-Tyne ; Exors. of Thomas Lingard ; Vicar of Bakewell ; James
Shufflebottom, Wincle, near Macclesfield ; Rev. James Howard Redfem, Battersea
Park; Isaac B. Needham, Buxton; John Heathcote, Brushfield; William Bloore,
Brushfield; John Bateman Bagshaw, Esq., Highlow Hall, Hathersage; Rev. John
Edward Andrew, Derwent Vicarage; G. Melland May, Esq. ; C. S. Leslie, Esq.,
Hassop; and John James Lees, Buxton.
At the time of the Domesday Survey, Tadintune (Taddington) was a berewick
of the Royal manor of Ashford. William de Hamilton died, seized of a third
part of the manoj of Taddington, in 1286, and in the following century, the
Cotterell family held this manor and several adjacent estates. It has long been
considered as parcel of the manor of High Peak, of which the Duke of Devonshire
is lessee from the Duchy of Lancaster.
The surface rises into bold eminences and rugged dreary moorlands. A con-
siderable extent was formerly common, but by powers of an Act obtained in 1792,
about 1,600 acres were inclosed. The soil is encumbent on limestone; the latter
is extensively worked by the Buxton Lime Company. Veins of lead occur
amongst the hills, and mining operations were carried on at Hubberdale, Bull
Torr, and Moorhigh, but this industry has been abandoned.
The village of Taddington is situated on the Bakewell and Buxton road, at a
considerable elevation, four miles S. from Tideswell, and two miles from Millers
Dale station, on the Midland railway. The church, which is dedicated to St.
Michael, is a large and interesting structure, chiefly in the later Decorated Gothic
style of thQ 14th century. During the late restoration a stone was found on the
roof of the porch bearing the date 1416, which probably indicates the year when
the church was rebuilt. An earlier chapel occupied the site, but no remains of
that building are to be seen in the present edifice. Taddington was then a
chaplery in the extensive parish of Bakewell, and remained as such till a recent
Act constituted it a vicarage. It was given with the Mother Church by King
John to the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield, who thus became the owners of the
great tithes. In 1280, John Peckham, Archbishop of Canterbury, made his
metropolitan visitation, and fixed the chaplain's stipend at five marks a year, to
be contributed in equal portions by the Chapter and the inhabitants of Tadding-
ton. Shortly afterwards the Chapter obtained more favourable terms, and shifted
nearly the whole burden onto the shoulders of the parishioners.
The present church consists of chancel, nave with north and south aisles,
south poFch and western tower surmounted by a spire, containing four bells.
The nave was restored, in 1847, at an expense of £350, raised by rate and
sobcription, but the repair of the dilapidated chancel was left for the Dean and
Chapter of Lichfield, the owners of the great tithes. A law suit followed to
determine whether that responsibility rested with the Chapter or with the
Dnke of Botland, their lessee. Ultimately the Dean and Chapter refused to
TADDINQTON. 469
augmented in 1887 by a legacy of £1,000, left by the late Mr. Brunt, of
Lewisham, Kent.
Priestcliffe is a hamlet forming a joint township with Taddington. A free
school was founded here in 1714, by the Bev. Boger Wilkson, of Wormhill, and
endowed with land for the free education of all the family of Wilkson that shall
reside at Taddington, or in the parishes of Bake well and Tideswell, and ten more
poor children in Priestcliffe, Taddington, Black well, and Brushfield. He also
directed that if any of the Wilksons be qualified for masters they be chosen
before any others. New premises, with master's house, were erected in 1847.
It is now under the Educational Department, and is attended by about 40
children.
There are several barrows or tumuli in the district, and on Five Wells Hill,
about 1^ mile west of Taddington, says Mr. Bateraan, '' is one of the most perfect
examples now existing of the sepulchral architecture of the aboriginal inhabitants
of Britain. It consists of two vaults, situated in the centre of a cairn about
thirty yards in diameter, each approached by a separate gallery or avenue,
formed by large limestones standing edgeways, extending through the tumulus,
respectively, in a south-east and north-west direction."
Five parish councillors have been assigned to Taddington under the Local
Government Act and one rural district councillor.
BiiACKWBiiL township embraces 1,055 acres of land, belonging solely to the
Duke of Devonshire, who is also lord of the manor. Its ratable value is £2,409,
and the population in 1891 was 42. The township lies on the south bank of the
river Wye, which can be here crossed by ** lapping stones" opposite Blackwell
Mill. A little further on the river runs between rocky cliffs, which have been
tunnelled for the railway. William Peverel, in the reign of Henry I., gave his
manor here, consisting of four oxgangs of land, to Lenton Priory, in Notting-
hamshire. This estate was granted, in 1552, to Sir William Cavendish, who was
greatly enriched out of the spoliation of monasteries. The Blackwalls also had a
manor and residence here from a very early period. Sir William Blackwall was a
zealous royalist, and was in consequence greatly impoverished in the Civil Wars.
His liabilities, in the reign of Charles II., were estimated at the then enormous
sum of £130,632 7s. lOd. The manor was seized and sold, or granted, to the
family of Hope ; but it now belongs to the Duke of Devonshire.
For purposes of local government, Blackwell has been united with Chelmorton.
They elect conjointly one rural district councillor.
Bbushfibld is a small township consisting of five farms, situated on an
eminence above Taddington Dale. The total extent is 644 acres ; ratable value,
£1,434 ; and population, 26. The Duke of Devonshire owns all the land except
the mill dam, about two acres in extent, which belongs to Lord Scarsdale. There
are some pleasing views from the higher grounds over Monsal Dale and Taddington
Dale. The Midland railway passes through a small portion of the township, and
Monsal Dale station is adjacent to it. The Ancient British inhabitants have left
their traces behind in the several cairns or tumuli still to be seen in the district.
Two querns or hand-mills were found here, and a barrow opened in 1825 con-
tamed an iron sword, measuring 32 inches in length and two in breadth, the iron
umbo of a shield, and an iron Imife and buckle, but this was evidently a much
later interment.
The manor was at an early period divided into moieties, one of which was
given by Bobert, son of Waltheof, to the Abbey of Rufford, and the other was
successively held by the Montjoys and the Slounts. On the dissolution of
Bufford Abbey, Henry VIII. granted that moiety to George, Earl of Shrewsbury.
In 1628 it passed by the marriage of a coheiress to Sir William Armine ; it was
subsequently sold to the Bradshaws, from whom it was purchased by the Earl of
Devonshire, who now owns the whole manor.
Broshfield, conjointly with Little Longstone, elects one rural district
councillor.

TANBLEY

The total area, according to the Diocesan Calendar, is 1,788 acres ; there
are 1,108 acres under assessment, the ratable value of which is £1,989. The
population in 1891 was 767. The Duke of Portland is lord of the manor ; and
the Bev. Chas. Wooley-Dod, Charles Childers Kadford, Esq., J.P., and the
trustees of Unwin Heathcote, Esq., are the principal landowners. The soil is of
excellent quality, and a considerable portion of it is occupied by nurseries, where
forest trees, and shrubs both native and exotic, ash, larch, oak, and ornamental
rhododendrons are extensively grown from the seed. Gritstone is abundant and
extensively quarried, and coal has been found on Tansley Moor.
Tansley (Taneslege in Domesday Book) was, at the time of the Norman
Survey, a bierewick of the royal manor of Metesforde (Matlock). It was afterwards
granted to the Knights Templars, and on the suppression of that order it was
transferred to the Hospitallers, who retained it till the dissolution of the religious
orders at the Beformation. Subsequently it was granted to George or Francis,
Earl of Shrewsbury ; and passed by the marriage of one of the coheiresses of
Gilbert, 7th Earl, to WilUam, Earl of Pembroke, who sold it to the Earl of
Newcastle, from whom it has descended to the Duke of Portland.
The village is situated on the edge of Tansley Moor, and about 1^ miles E.
from Matlock. It possesses a copious supply of excellent water and a bracing
atmosphere, and these, together with its proximity to the beautiful scenery of our
English Switzerland, make it a pleasant resort for visitors and invalids. A hydro-
pathic establishment has been carried on here for some years under the direction
of Mr. Wm. Mycock, who gained his experience under the modern founder of the
mild water cure. The house is seated on an eminence overlooking Matlock, with
Biber Castle in the distance. The internal arrangements are of a very superior
character, and every improvement that experience can suggest has been adopted.
Surrounding the house are tastefully-laid-out grounds, with tennis courts, croquet
lawns, <&c., for outdoor recreation. A cotton mill was erected here at an early
period. The manufacture of tape is now carried on, on a most extensive scale, by
Messrs. Lowe & Scholes, and the same firm has also a wide reputation for the
manufacture of the choicest woollen shawls, which rival in beauty the far-famed
productions of the East.
The church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was erected 1839-40, and a
parochial district allotted to it. It is a neat structure of stone in the Gothic
style, with a pinnacled tower at the west end. There are nearly 800 sittings, of
which i48 are free. The living is now a rectory, worth £180 net, with a good
residence, in the gift of the vicar of Crich, and held by the Bev. J. B. S. MaiSt
There are eight acres of glebe ; the tithe rent-charge is £42.
The Wesleyan Methodists have a chapel here, with burial ground attached ;
and the members of the Methodist Free Church have also a place of worship m
the village. The National School, with master's house, was erected in 1843,
chiefly through the exertions of the late E. Badford, Esq., and the will of that
gentleman endowed it with 6^ acres of land in 1867.
On Tansley Moor there was recently dug up a pig of lead, bearing the
following inscription in raised Boman characters : — " P. B. ABASCANTI
METALU LVTVDABES." Near the place where it was found is a narrow lane
locally known as the ** Boman road," but probably an old British trackway which
was utilized by the Bomans for the conveyance of lead from the mines.

TIDESWELL.
This parish comprises the townships of Tideswell, Litton, Wardlow, with part
of Millers Dale, containing in all 6,607 acres, and 2,948 inhabitants. It is in the
High Peak hundred ; petty sessional division, county court district, and union of
Bakewell ; and deanery of Buxton. It gives name to a division for the election
of a county councillor. Under the Local Government Act of 1894, seven members
constitute the parish council, and Tideswell-with-Wheston elects two councillors
to Bakewell rural district council.
The township of Tideswell embraces an area of 3,044 acres of land, chiefly
limestone ; the total ratable value £4,836, and the population, in 1891, was 1,936.
The Duke of Devonshire is lord of the manor, and the following are the land-
owners in addition to his Grace : — Thomas Shaw Ashton ; George Barnesley,
Peak Forest ; William Wood Brown ; Mrs. Jane Howe, Tideswell ; Exors. of
Joseph Wylds ; Exors. of Robert Bingham ; Jon. F. Ashton ; Benjamin Frith,
Tideswell ; Exors. of John Monies ; Thomas Sanderson Fumess ; Mrs. Esplin ;
T. W. Tiimer, Tideswell ; Thomas Dakin ; George Dakin ; Samuel Furness,
Stoney Middleton ; Exors. of William Elliott ; Thomas Gilbert, Tideswell ;
Hannah Gilbert ; James Jennison ; George Chadwick ; Robert Hill Hydes ;
Bobert Longdon ; R. J. Robinson, Ashbourne ; Exors. of Mary Bennett, and
Denis Wilson.
At the time of the Domesday Survey, Tideswell was a berewick of the royal
manor of Hope. King John gave the manor of Tideswell to Thomas Armiger in
1208 ; it afterwards passed, by female descent, to the Bamptons, and thence to
the Daniels in the reign of Edward I. From the latter it was conveyed, by three
coheiresses, to the famihes of Meverell, Marchinton, and Turvill. There is
considerable perplexity about the descent of the manor. Sir Nicholas Stafford
and Elizabeth, his wife, appear to have held it in the reign of Richard II. on an
annual payment of £17. Their tenure was probably only a life one, as it again
came into the possession of the Meverells, and remained with this family till the
death of Bobert Meverell, in 1626. His daughter and heiress, Ehzabeth, married
Thomas Lord Cromwell. In 1664, Winfield Lord Cromwell sold it to Robert
Eyre, Esq., of Highlow ; William Eyre, his grandson, took the name of Archer,
and was the father of John Archer, Esq., who died in 1800. Under a decree of
Chancery, in 1802, it was purchased by the Duke of Devonshire.
A market was granted at Tideswell, together with a fair, for two days, at the
festival of the Decollation of St. John the Baptist; and these were confirmed to
Biohard Stafford about the year 1391, and to Sampson Meverell in 1432. The
market still continues to be held on Wednesdays, and fairs on March 24th, May
TIDE8WELL. 479
manor and principal owner. The Duke of Devonshire, the trustees of M'Connell
Brothers, B. J. Bobinson, and C. M. Ferguson have land here.
The manor was anciently held by a family that took its name from the place.
They were seated here as early as the reign of Henry III. Sir Robert Lytton,
whose monument is in the Litton chapel of Tides well Church, was Under-
Treasurer of England in the reign of Henry YI. He purchased the manor of
Knebworth, in Hertfordshire, which became the principal seat of the family,
but Litton Hall remained in their possession till 1597, when it was sold
by Bowland Lytton to John Alsop. The manor passed from the Alsops to the
Bagshaws in 1606. Shortly afterwards it passed to the Bradshaws, and in 1686
to the Uptons. The next owners were the Stathams, from whom it was
purchased by Sir Nathaniel Gurzon, ancestor of Lord Scarsdale, the present
owner.
The scenery along the Wye is romantically beautiful ; the impetuous river
sweeps between perpendicular cliffs and impending rocks adorned with lichens,
creeping plants, and shrubs of every shade and hue. Beyond rise towering hills,
whose sides are carpeted with verdure or mantled with luxuriant foliage.
The village of Litton is situated about three-quarters of a mile E. from
Tideswell. There is a National School bere, which is also used as a Church
Mission Boom. The school will accommodate 150 children, and there is an
average attendance of 70. The Wesleyans have a small chapel, built in 1834. A
short distance from the village, on the Wye, is Litton Mill, where cotton doubling
is carried on. In a rocky hollow contiguous with the mill are the cottages in-
habited by the workpeople. About a mile further down the river the Cressbrook,
with its luxuriant growth of watercress, enters the Wye on the left. In a bend
of the river near the junction is Cressbrook Mill, a cotton spinning and manu-
facturing concern, long carried on by M'Connell Brothers, and now belonging to
the Cressbrook Mills Co., Ltd., who have here 570 looms at work. Sheltering
the mill in the rear is a lofty eminence, clothed with plantations of fiir and other
trees. On the hillside, peeping through the trees, are the Swiss-like cottages,
erected by the owners of the mill for the workpeople There is a school capable
of accommodating 85 children, which is also used for church service.
Ldtton was the birthplace of William Bagshaw, an eminent Nonconformist
minister, who has been styled " The Apostle of the Peak." He was the author of
a work called " De Spiritualibus Pecci," or notices concerning the work of God,
and some of those who have been workers together with God, in the hundred of
the High Peak. He was ejected from the vicarage of Glossop in 1662, and
afterwards established several Dissenting congregations in North Derbyshire. He
died at Great Hucklow in 1702. John Howe, the poet, was born here in 1774,
and the ancestors of Lord Lytton took their name from this place.
Wabdlow and Wakdlow Miebs form a joint township, containing 616 acres
of land, of which the Duke of Devonshire is sole owner and lord of the manor.
The ratable value is £656, and the population in 1891 was 140. It is a bleak and
imattractive district, where few trees enliven the scene and stone walls take the
place of hedgerows. The land, encumbent on limestone, is divided into small
larmSy and many of the occupiers eke out a living by working in the quarries.
The village is small, and stands by the high road, two miles S. from Tideswell.
A sohool-ohapel was erected at a cost of £1,050, inclusive of burial ground.
There is accommodation for 60 children, and an average attendance of 32.
Service is held in it by the vicar of Tideswell. Anthony Lingard, the murderer
of Hannah Oliver, after suffering the extreme penalty of the law, was hung in
chains near the village, April 1st, 1815.
An ancient burial mound was opened here in 1759, when seventeen bodies
were found enclosed beween stone slabs. There was nothing discovered to show
io what age or race they belonged.
Wardlow is in Bakewell rural district, and elects one rural district councillor.

manor and principal owner, but the following also have estates here, viz. : — Lord
Denman, L. W. Parker, J. D. Fletcher, J. Swindell, Charles Etches, and
Woodeaves Go. The surface is diversified, the soil loam on limestone, and is
chiefly in pasture.
Tissington was one of the many manors given by the Conqueror to Henry de
Ferrers, and from this family it passed to the Savages in the reign of Henry I.
The last heir male of this line died in 1259; and the manor was conveyed in
moieties by the marriage of the coheiresses to Meynell and Edensor. Meynell's
portion subsequently passed by marriage to the families of Clynton and Francis in
succession ; and Cicely Francis, daughter and heiress of Robert Francis, became
wife of Nicholas Fitzherbert. The other moiety passed by marriage to the
Harthills, thence to the Cokaynes, and was purchased from the latter by Francis
Fitzherbert, about the close of the 16th century. The moieties thus became
united and have so descended to the present owner.
The village is a charming rural retreat, situated amidst picturesque surround-
ings, and nearly hidden by the woods and plantations that environ it on almost
every side. It stands a little off the Ashbourne and Buxton road, four miles
N. from the former place. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, dates from
Norman times, and still retains some of the original Norman work. The inner
doorway of the porch is of that period ; and the tympanum, which fills up the
semicircular head, retains in tolerable preservation the quaint symbolical figures
carved on it by Norman hands. The massive tower at the west end is also of
Norman date ; and the font which is curiously ornamented with quaint figures
compounded of animals and foliage, is believed to be of the same age. The church
was thoroughly restored and reseated with open benches of oak, in 1853, at which
time also an aisle was added on the north side. There are numerous beautiful
monuments and brasses to the FitzHerberts, whose burial place this has been for
300 years past. Conspicuous amongst them is an elaborate one of alabaster
which reaches nearly to the roof of the building. It is divided into two compart-
ments; in the lower one Francis FitzHerbert and two female figures are represented
in a kneeling posture, with open books before them, bearing this inscription : —
'* Francis Fitzherbert, Esq., departed this life the 4th of January, ^tatis suffi 80,
Anno Domini 1619.
Love, Justice, Honoure here
All at once in one appeare ;
Let the reader silent be
And doe homage on his knee
To this Reverend Esquire
Yt hath now his full desire,
Of that Peace he ever loved
In this life and death approved
Layd here with his two Loyall Friends
Most renowned in their ends."
The ** Loyall Friends '* were his two wives.
In the upper compartment are the figures of a man and woman kneeling over
a tablet inscribed to *' Sir John Fitzherbert, Ejit., who died in 1642. In the
south wall is a monument to William Fitzherbert, Esq., barrister-at-law and
recorder of Derby. He in great measure, by his industry, was the restorer of the
family estate here. He was the eldest son of Anthony, who was younger son of
Bir John Fitzherbert, of this place, and became heir of that family. He
married Bachell, daughter of Thomas Bagshaw, of Bidge Hall, in this county,
Esq., to whom she became sole heir. They left issue William, John, Martha,
James, and Catherine. He dyed the 6th day of November, 1739." At the west
end of the church is an organ gallery, which is reached by stone steps on the
outside. The registers date from 1658.
The living is a vicarage worth £95 per annum, in the gift of Sir William
FitzHerbert, Bart., and held by the Eev. James FitzHerbert, M.A. (St. John's
Coll., Camb.), since 1876.

WINSTER.
Winster, formerly a ohapelry under Youlgrave, is now a separate parish,
consisting of the township of its own name, containing 1,114 acres of land and
840 inhabitants. It is in the hundred of High Peak ; petty sessional division
and county court district of Wirksworth ; union, rural district, and deanery of
Bakewell ; and gives name to one of the electoral divisions of the county council.
Por purposes of the Local Government Act of 1894, a parish council of six
members has been assigned to it. Birchover has been added to it for the election
of a district councillor.
A ridge of limestone hills passes through the township from east to west, and
imparts to the soil its character. The land is all freehold, and belongs to many
owners, of whom the following are the principal: — Messrs. Henry Charles
Heathcote, Joseph Greatorex, Joseph Blackwell, Samuel Foxlow, William Orme,
John Wagstaff, John Heathcote, William Heathcote, Joseph Heathcote, Nathaniel
Prime, Thomas Allen Eains, Benjamin Boam, and the Eev. Herbert Milnes,
Winster ; Lord Scarsdale, Mr. Daniel Holmes, Bakewell ; and George Cresswell,
Esq., Hereford.
Winster was one of the many manors given by the Conqueror to Henry de
Ferrers, and afterwards forfeited by Kobert de Ferrers, eighth Earl of Derby.
Henry HI. gave it to his fifth son, Edmund, Earl of Lancaster, but it subsequently
came into the possession of the Mountjoys, and passed in marriage to Sir John
Blount, whose descendant sold it to the Meynells. It was purchased from the
latter family in the reign of Elizabeth by the freeholders. The lordship is conse-
quently in the freeholders, but mineral royalties are paid to the Duke of Devon-
shire, who is the lessee under the Duchy of Lancaster. There are several lea.d
mines in the parish, and from some of them manganese and barytes are also
obtained.
Winster is a quaint-looking little town, consisting chiefly of one street built
along the sloping side of a rocky ridge, six miles S.E. from Bakewell, six miles
N.W. from Wirksworth, and 2 J miles from Darley Dale station, on the Midland
railway. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in the lead mines. A market was
established here at an early period, and held regularly on Saturdays until its
discontinuance some few years ago. The Market Hall is an old-fashioned
building in the centre of the village, and was formerly the property of the Eyres
of Bowton. It now belongs to Mr. Joseph Greatorex, of the Bowling Green Inn.
Many of the houses and shops bear an old-world appearance, but their quaintness
is not without attraction. Ivy House, formerly called Oddo, is one of those old-
fashioned residences that has so far escaped the hands of the modern reformer.
It is in the Elizabethan style, with entrance gates of undoubted antiquity.
Winster Hall dates from 1628. It is a square building of stone, the front facing
the street being divided by two Corinthian pilasters, and surmounted by a
balustrade. On the ceilings of the lower front rooms are frescoes, said (but
doubtfully) to have been painted by West. The hall was formerly the property
and residence of the Moore family, to whom there is a memorial brass in the
church bearing their crest, three Moors' heads. It was for many years the
residence of tne late Llewellyn Jewitt, Esq., the eminent Derbyshire historian
and antiquary.
WIBK8W0BTH. 491
century to the latest Gothic. Two, if noc more, earlier churches previously
occupied the site. Its immediate predecessor was a Norman structure, and
various remains of that building were discovered during the recent restoration.
This probably took the place of the Saxon church that was standing when the
Domesday Survey was taken, and from the early connection of Wirksworth with
the Abbey of Bepton in the 7th and 8th centuries, it is very possible that there
was a church here at that early period. A curious piece of sculpture in the north
wall of the north aisle is believed by competent authorities to have belonged to
this Saxon church. It was found during the repairs that took place in 1820-1, in
front of the altar, about two feet below the floor. Beneath it was a stone-built
vault, or grave which contained a perfect human skeleton of large size. The stone
is five feet in length by two feet ten inches in breadth, and lay with the sculpture
downwards, clearly showing that it did not occupy its original position. Mr.
Bateman, and other local antiquaries, supposed the stone to have been an altar
piece or reredos ; but Dr. Cox believed it to have been the coped cover of an altar
tomb. The sculpture, which is rude and defaced, was ingeniously explained by a
writer in the ** Gentleman's Magazine," November, 1821.
The church is cruciform in plan, comprising chancel (with an aisle or chapel
on each side), north and south transepts, and nave (with side aisles and south
porch.) The tower rises from the centre, where it is supported on four massive
pillars, and is surmounted by a small spire of the extinguisher type, which was
certainly not contemplated in the original scheme. The total length is 142 feet^
and the width across the transepts 102 feet. A peculiar feature of the church ia
that the space eastward of the tower is larger than the space allotted to the nave
on the west side. The nave is separated from the aisle on each side by an arcade
of three arches, and each transept has an aisle of two bays on the east side.
The fabric was repaired and enlarged by additions to the east of the transepts in
1820-1. At the same time considerable internal alterations were made, at a total
cost of £2,000. Further alterations were effected in 1855, when the chancel was
divided by the erection of an inner arch, and the beautiful east window erected
and filled with stained glass by the county magistrates in memory of Francis
Edward Hunt, Esq., of Alderwasley, who died in 1854. In 1870 a thorough
restoration was commenced, under the direction of Sir Gilbert Scott, at a cost of
nearly £10,000. The alterations, so injudiciously effected in 1820, were removed,.
and the church restored to its original plan. Many fragments of ancient incised
and sculptured stones were found during the progress of the work, and are now
built into the walls for preservation. The ancient double piscina was discovered
in 1855, and opened out in the south wall ; and on the opposite side is the aumbry
recess, where the altar vessels were kept. The foundations of the previous
Norman church were also discovered, and part of the base of one or two of the
pillars have been exposed to view.
The church appears to have had five or six altars in Catholic times. On the
south side of the chancel was the chantry founded by Sir Henry Vernon, of
Haddon, in the latter part of the 16th century, for a priest to say mass and pray
for his soul, &c. Another chantry, dedicated to St. Helen, was founded in 1504
by Richard Smyth, vicar of Wirksworth, but in what part of the church it was
situated is not known. There was a third chantry dedicated to the Blessed
Virgin, and also subsidiary altars in the transepts. In the north transept was
the '* Alton quire," and the chapel, or quire, in the opposite transept is supposed
to have belonged to the lords of Callow. Bassano also mentions ** two little
quires on the west side of the steeple, one dedicated to St. Catherine, founded by
the Wigleys, of Gatehouse, and the other founded by the lords of Ible."
There are several interesting monuments in the church, but some described
by Bassano in 1710 have since disappeared. In the chancel is an altar totnb to
Ajithony Lowe, bearing an ef&gy of the deceased in armour. He had been,
according to the inscription, ** servante to Kynge Henry VII., Kynge Henry
YUl.f Edward VL, and Queue Marie, ye I. buried ye xi. of Dec, 1555." The
Lowes were settled at Alderwasley till 1690, when John Lowe, the last of the

" Near this place lies the body of Philip Shalloross, once an eminent quill driver to the
attorneys of this town ; he died the 17 of Novr., 1787 ; aged 67. Viewing Philip in a moral light,
the most prominent and remarkable features in his character were his real and invincible
attachment to dogs and oats, and his unbounded benevolence towards them as well as towards
his fellow creatures.
To the Critic.
Seek not to shew the devious paths Phil trode
Nor draw his frailties from the dread abode ;
In modest sculpture let this tombstone tell
That much esteemed he liv'd, and much regretted fell."
There are six bells in the tower, but all are of modern date, The church will
accommodate about 1,000 persons. The registers date from 1608. The living is
a vicarage, in the gift of the Bishop of Southwell, and held by the Eev. W. H.
Arkwright, M.A. The tithe (mineral excepted) is commuted for £74, and the lead
tithe, once a very valuable source of income, is now almost valueless. The
present gross value of the Hving is only £150 a year. A general cemetery, about
four acres in extent, for Churchmen and Dissenters, was consecrated in 1856, and
is under the control of a burial board. The Baptists have also a small cemetery.
Various forms of dissent are represented in Wirksworth by places of worship.
Presbyterianism was established here soon after the passing of the Act of
Uniformity in 1662, and a chapel was built in 1700. The members afterwards
became Independents, and are now known as Congregationalists. The chapel
was rebuilt in 1873 at a cost of £1,500, raised by subscription. The style is
Gothic, and accommodation is afforded for 300 persons. The pulpit and platform
were the gift of Mrs. Hunt, of Bole Hill. During the progress of the work a
brick vault was discovered under the communion table, containing a leaden coffin,
in which was the perfect skeleton of a man. There was no inscription, but, from
the position of the vault under the communion table, it is supposed that one of
the early Puritan divines had been buried here.
The Wesleyan chapel, in Bailey Croft, is a very plain stone building, erected
in 1810. It has a gallery round three sides, giving a total accommodation for 340.
At the entrance is a tablet inscribed : — '' Erected by numerous friends to the
memory of Elizabeth Evans, known to the world as Dinah Bede, who during
many years proclaimed alike in the open air and in the pulpit and from house to
house the love of Christ. She died in the Lord, Nov. 9, 1849, aged 74." Her
husband was also a local preacher of some fame, and survived her about seven
years. They spent the latter and greater portion of their lives in Wirksworth,
where they had the mill now worked by Messrs. Wheatcroft. The Sabbath day
they gave to preaching and exhortation, and often walked many miles to carry
out the good work they had at heart. Mrs. Evans, under the name of ''Dinah
Bede," is the heroine of "George Elliot's" novel of ** Adam Bede," and readers
of that book cannot but feel something more than a passing interest in the spots
hallowed by her footsteps.
The Baptists erected their first chapel in 1816. The present edifice was
built in 1886, at a cost of £3,000. It is a handsome edifice, in the Gothic style,
with Sunday school on the ground floor. The United Methodist Free Church
was built in 1885-6, at a cost of £1,500 raised by public subscription, chiefly
through the self-sacrificing efforts of Mrs. Potter. Under the chapel is the
schoolroom, capable of holding 300 children. The Primitive Methodists have a
chapel in the Dale, and also one at Bole Hill, and at Gorsey Bank
The Grammar School was founded in 1576, under the title of "The Free
Grammar School of Anthony Gell, Esquire," for the education and instruction of
boys, and other literature. The founder devised certain premises and lands for
the use and maintenance of the school, and directed that six discreet and honest
men residing within the wapentake of Wirksworth be appointed governors of the
school and the almshouses, which he also founded. The income from the
endowment amounts to about £230 per annum. The school is also a District
Technical School, under the scheme of the County Council. The course of
instruction embraces Latin, English literature, mathematics, arithmetic, history,

Wigley, of Middleton, near Wirksworth. Henry Wigley, the last of the name at
Wigwell, died in 168S, leaving three daughters coheiresses, married respectively
to Javis Bossell, Sir John Statham, and Michael Burton, Esq. In 1774 the pro-
perty was purchased by Francis Green, Esq., and it passed by marriage to the
Goodwins. It is now the property of Arthur Stubbs, Esq. The hall is sur-
rounded by pleasure grounds, and commands picturesque views of the surround-
ing country. It is now unoccupied, and has been generally deserted since the
murder of Miss Goodwin by an insane lover named Victor Townley, some few
years ago.
A little distance from Wigwell, near Hotstandwell station, is Homesford
Cottage, a wayside inn, much frequented by tourists and pleasure parties. The
scenery around is of a beautiful sylvan character, and hard by runs the Derwent,
which affords excellent sport to votaries of the rod and line. Free tickets are

1,393 acres, including roads and wastes, ratable value £1,805, and population 178.
Albert Frdk. Hurt, Esq., Alderwasley Hall, is lord of the manor and one of the
principal landowners. The other proprietors are Messrs. Strutt, Belper ; H. W.
Walthall, Esq., Alton Manor; J. Wheatcroft, Esq., Wirksworth; H. Swingler,
Esq., Ireton Wood ; H. S. Yeomans ; and Dr. J. Adsetts, Purfleet, Essex. The
tithes, gross value J6148, are leased by G. H. Errington, Esq. The surface is
boldly undulated, and the scenery attractive. The soil is various, but chiefly
sandy and clayey, with a subsoil of grit and rachell, and is chiefly in pasture.
The village, if such it can be called, consists of three or four scattered farm-
houses. Spout is a hamlet of four farms, two miles S. from Wirksworth. Near
here are the Alport Heights, 980 feet above the level of the sea. Beighton Hill is
a hamlet, 1^ miles from Wirksworth, consisting of six cottages and a Primitive
Methodist Chapel, built in 1851.
This township is in the Mid-Parliamentary Division, and elects one guardian
and one rural district councillor.
CaliiOW is a township and small village, two miles S. W. from Wirksworth,
containing 1,252| acres, belonging chiefly to Henry Chan dos Pole-Gel 1, Esq., J. P.,
Hopton Hall, who is also lord of the manor, and Henry Walthall Walthall,
Esq., J.P., Alton Manor, Wirksworth. The manor formerly belonged to the
Sacheverells. The ancient lords had a hall here, which appears to have been a
mansion of considerable extent, but only a portion of the old house remains, and
is occupied by a farmer. The hall was surrounded by a moat, and traces of it
and of the bridge are still visible.
Callow is in the Ashbourne Union, and with Carsington forms a united parish,
returning one rural district councillor and guardian.
HoPTON AND Griff Grange form a joint township containing 1,450 acres,
belonging chiefly to H. Chandos-Pole Gell, Esq., J.P., Hopton Hall, who is also
lord of the manor. The ratable value is J£l,465, and the population in 1891
was 99. The rent-charge in lieu of the rectorial tithes is £67 10s., G. H.
Errington, impropriator; and the vicarial tithe is £11 3s. 6d. Under the Local
Government Act of 1894, Hopton forms with Iblea united parish returning one
rural district councillor and guardian to Ashbourne Union.
A family, styled De Hopton, was possessed of land here as early as the reign
of King John. From them it was inherited by the Gells, who were seated here
in the early part of the 16th century. John Gell, Esq., was high sheriff of
Derbyshire in 1634, and eight years later was created a baronet by Charles I.
When the civil war broke out between the King and the Parliament, Sir John took a
very active part on the side of the latter, and rendered very important services.
The regiment of foot which he raised and commanded whilst stationed in Derby,
used to make frequent excursions into the country robbing and plundering every
one who was suspected of favouring the King's cause. He was appointed

ancient British encampment. From this spot there is an extensive prospect of
glorious scenery, embracing Youlgrave, Stanton, and many miles around. There
are some veins of lead among the hills, but very little ore has been obtained in
late years.
The manor of Harthill was held at an early period by a family who took
their name from the place. Elizabeth, the daughter and heiress of Sir Bichard
de Harthill, conveyed this and other manors, by marriage, to Edmund Cockayne
in the latter part of the I4th century ; and Harthill remained with the latter
family till 1599, when Edward Cockayne sold the manor to an ancestor of the
Doke of Rutland. The Hall, the residence of the Harthills and the Cockaynes,
18 an ancient stone structure, situated on a lofty eminence called Priest Hill, 1 i
miles E. from Youlgrave. A chapel was erected here previous to the year 1259,
when Sir Bichard de Harthill founded a chantry within his chapel of Harthill.
The site is now occupied by a barn, in which may be seen portions of a niche
and other fragments of the original building. The hall, now a farmhouse, is the
residence of Mr. William Potter, whose family have occupied it for several years
MiDDLBTON forms a joint township with Smerrill, containing 2,895 acres ;
ratable value, j62,660 ; population, 176. It is situated in the Wirks worth hundred,
and is now more generally styled Middleton-by-Youlgrave. Thomas W. Bateman,
Esq., Middleton Hall, is lord of the manor and principal landowner. On the
west side of the township, on Middleton Common, is Arbor Low, a famous
Dmidical circle, one of the most interesting monuments of antiquity in Derby-
shire. The stones forming the circle are from six to eight feet in length, from
three to four feet in width, unhewn, and of various shapes. It is impossible to
tell their original number, as many of them have been broken, but there have
probably been from thirty to thirty-five, all of which lie horizontally on the
ground, and incline towards the centre. The circle is about 150 feet in diameter,
and is surrounded by a vallum and entrenchment, with openings or entrances on
the north and south sides. Near one of these is a barrow or burial mound.
The manor of Middleton was held at the time of the Norman Survey by
Balph Fitzhubert ; in the 13th and 14th centuries it belonged to the Harthills ;
and it passed from them to the Cockaynes by the marriage of the heiress of
Bichard de Harthill in the reign of Henry YI. From the latter family it was
purchased by Francis Fullwood, about the year 1602. Subsequently it came into
the possession of Viscount Howe, and was sold by his coheirs to Thomas
Bateman, Esq., great-grandfather of the late owner. The hall is a substantial
castellated building, erected in 1824 out of the materials of the old hall, which
stood near. The grounds are extensive, and tastefully laid out. There is a
•quantity of old oak carving in the house, and in the entrance hall are effigies of
knights in armour and other antiquities. The abbot and monks of Leicester
possessed a large tract of land at Middleton, and had a grange here, to which a
chapel was attached, but not a vestige of these now remains above ground.
Middleton-hy-Youlgrave is a well-built village, embosomed among trees, 1^
miles S.W. from Youlgrave. It is well supplied with water, pumped from a
spring in the romantic glen of the river Bowtor, and is also provided with
excellent appliances for the extinction of fires. The Congregational Chapel was
built in 1826, by Thomas Bateman, Esq., and endowed by him with £40 per
annum. In a field adjoining the chapel is the tomb of that gentleman, and there
is a monument to his memory in the chapel. The Primitive Methodists have
also a chapel here, a temporary structure of wood, erected in 1850. There is a
school in the village, attended by about 40 children. At the enclosure of the
common, 14 acres of land were awarded to the vicar of Youlgrave in lieu of tithes.
Smerrill Orange consists of one farm, the property of the Duke of Butland.
Middleton and Smerrill elect one district councillor and guardian.

-was said for the first time since the Beformation in the Hermit's Cave, and that
on the following Whit-Monday Pontifical Mass was said in the Abbey ruins by
the Bishop of Nottingham for the first time since the dissolution of the Abbey.
The village of Dale Abbey is delightfully situated in a pretty valley, six miles
•east from Derby, three south-west from Ilkeston, and about li from West Hallam
station, on the Great Northern railway. It retains much of its picturesque old-
world appearance, and is a delightful place for a day's ramble. Suitable accom-
modation can be obtained at the Carpenter's Arms, where teas and other refresh-
ments can be provided for parties, either large or small, on the shortest notice.
The church, dedicated to All Saints, is a curious and interesting structure.
Under the same roof, and forming part of the same building, is a dwelling-house —
the Church House. This was rebuilt a few years ago — the old one then removed,
it is said, had been an inn, and communicated with the church by a door,
through which the worshippers were in the habit of passing stealthily to refresh
themselves, until the scandal became so great that the communication was
blocked up. Another peculiarity is an upper chamber extending over the whole
iurea except the chancel, and serving the purpose of a gallery, from which a door
iormerly led to the public-house above-mentioned. Two framework screens, from
which the panels have long been removed, standing at right-angles to each other,
divide the aisle and chancel from the nave. The rickety old oak pulpit, the odd
collection of high-backed pews and benches, and the whole internal appearance
<;annot fail to strike the beholder with amazement. '' The eccentricities of this
diminutive church do not end here. It has," observes Mr. Ward, ** a bishop's
throne — a relic of extra-episcopal times, when the Earls of Stanhope were lay
bishops of the psu'ish : it is a massive arm-chair of very domestic type, all aglare
with paint and varnish, and decorated with scrolls and scallop shells." On a neat
marble tablet is inscribed : — "Erected by the parishioners of Dale Abbey, to the
memory of the Bight Hon. Philip Henry, Earl of Stanhope, lord of the manor and
lay bishop of this church, who died March 2nd, 1855, aged 73." As to the origin
•of this curious ecclesiastical edifice nothing is known with certainty. There is
reason, however, to believe that this was the chapel erected by the " Gomme of
the Dale," and which probably adjoined the oratory built by the hermit. It is
evidently of very great antiquity, and persons well qualified to judge see in it
traces of Early English work. A few fragments of 15th century stained glass re-
main in the windows, and the incised sepulchral slab bears the date 1532. The
living is a chaplaincy without a stipend, in the gift of the Earl of Stanhope, whose
■ancestors purchased the manor in the 18ch century, and held in conjunction with
the rectory of Stanton-by-Dale.
The Wesleyans have a small chapel in the village, founded in 1791. This
building was nearly destroyed by fire in 1844, and afterwards rebuilt. It was
again rebuilt in 1892.

This is a small civil and ecclesiastical parish, containing 627 acres of land,
belonging to R. S. W. Sitwell, Esq., who is also lord of the manor; Wm. Calladine;
the Derby Banking Co. ; Frank Weston ; the Trustees of Jno. Weston ; and Jas.
Geo. Eley. The ratable value is £2,040, and the number of inhabitants 934, who
are chiefly employed in the neighbouring collieries. Frame knitting and nail
making were formerly the staple industries ; and the latter is still carried on to
some extent.
The village is distant four miles S.E. from Belper, six miles N.E. from
Derby, and two miles from Eilburn station on the Midland railway. By an order
in Council, in the year 1878, this township was detached from Horsley, and
formed into an ecclesiatical district. The church, dedicated to St. Susanna, was
built the same year, at a cost of £2,000. It is a plain Gothic structure, com-
prising nave, chancel, north porch, and bell turret containing one bell. The east
window is a beautiful piece of stained-glass work, by Burlisson and Grylls, given
by R. S. W. Sitwell, in memory of his family. The eagle lectern was the gift of
General Hughes, who also gave the pictorial window on the south side of the
nave. There is accommodation for 240, and all seats are free. The living is a
perpetual curacy, worth £216 yearly with residence, in the gift of R. S. W.
Sitwell, Esq., and held by the Rev. A. G. Waldy, M.A., since 1879. A school for
girls and infants was built a few years previously by the Rev. H. W. Sitwell.
The Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists have chapels in the village. That
belonging to the former body is a spacious structure, with sitting accommodation
for 400. The latter is a small plain building, erected in 1851, to seat 150.
Stainsby EoiLse, the seat and property of R. S. W. Sitwell, Esq., J.P., is a
handsome modern mansion, surrounded by well wooded grounds.
Chabities. — Thomas Hunter, in 1735, left a cottage and some land, the rents thereof to he
>di8tribated amongst the poor of Alfreton, Elilburn, Horsley, Horsley Woodhouse, Ripley, and
Weseington in certain proportions. The share for this parish is now 25s. yearly, which is dis-
tributed at Christmas. The sum of £6 yearly is received out of the rent of land left by John
XxHskoe to the poor of Belper, Kilbum, Horsley, and Horsley Woodhouse. Flannel, to the value
of 86e., is distributed out of Gisbome's bequests ; and poor or disabled colliers of this parish
have -a conditional benefit in Samuel Richardson's charity left to Smalley. At present there are
three poor colliers in receipt of 25s each per quarter.

consequence of the plague ; and the inhabitants were half-toll free at all fairs
and markets in the kingdom on condition of keeping in repair the gallows for the
execution of malefactors. This privilege was known as the ** Gaunt fee/* and
is said to have been granted by John of Gaunt, though it does not appear that
that nobleman ever had any connection with or interest in Ilkeston. This vulgar
error has doubtlessly arisen from a confusion of the de Gands, early owners with
the famous John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. Every vestige of the gallows has
long disappeared, but the gruesome instrument of death was still standing when
Glover wrote his History of Ilkeston in 1831.
The town is built on the slope of a hill on the bank of the Erewash, eight
miles from Nottingham, nine miles from Derby, and is accessible either by the
Great Northern or Midland railways. The borough boundary^ which is con-
terminous with that of the parish, encloses an area of 2,526 acres, and includes
the hamlets of Gotmanhay and Little Hallam. There has been a gradual but
not inconsiderable increase in the population and material prosperity of Ilkeston
in each succeeding decade of the present century, as the following figures show : —
YEAR. POPULATION. YSAB. POPULATION. YEAR. POPULATION.
1801 2,422 1881 4,446 1861 8,374
1811 2,970 1841 5,323 1871 9,662
1821 4,681 1851 6,122 1881 14,119
In 1891 the population of the borough amounted to 19,744. In 1823 the
total rental of the parish was £4,560 ; in 1856 the ratable value was £9,486, in
1879 it had risen to £32,248 ; and the present ratable value of the borough is
£57,832.
A local board, or urban sanitary authority, was elected in 1864, and the
parish remained under the control of that body till 1887, when it was created a
municipal borough by Boyal charter. The corporate body consists of a mayor,
six aldermen, and 18 councillors, six for each of the three wards into which the
borough was to be divided. The election of the first town council took place on
the 2nd of May, and the election of mayor on the 9th, when the honour fell on
Mr. Francis Sudbury. The income of the municipal authority, excluding bonus^
is £2,400, and the total expenditure £2,320. The corporation offices are in the
Toum HaUj a commodious structure of brick, erected by the local board, in 1866,
at a cost of £4,000. The site was previously occupied by thatched cottages, and
their removal and erection of the hall has greatly improved the appearance of the
Market Place. The chartered market is held on Thursday ; but this is little
more than a name, as almost all the business is now transacted on Saturday.
Gas Works were erected in 1848, at a cost of £2,500 ; and Water Works were
constructed in 1856, at a cost of £3,000, raised in £1 shares. Both these
works were purchased by the local board, the former in 1879, and the latter in
1878, and are now in the hands of the Corporation.
Ilkeston is both a mining and manufacturing town. Situated just within
the southern limits of the Midland coalfield, !b derives much of its prosperity
from the collieries so extensively worked in the neighbourhood, and from
its proximity to Nottingham it shares in the manufacturing industries of that
town. The lace and hosiery manufactures are of considerable magnitude, and give
employment to a large number of hands. The manufacture of the needles used
in all kinds of lace, hosiery and knitting machines is also extensively carried on.
The business was established here in 1824, by the late Mr. Benjamin Tatham,.
and he was, we believe, the first to use steel wire in their production. There are
also several other industries of minor importance.
Saturday is the principal market day, when large numbers of people from
the neighbouring villages flock into the town ; and a fair is held on the Mrst
Thursday after October 11th. There are four branch banks for the convenience
of business meq, and others, and several hotels for the accommodation of visitors.
Of these, the principal are the Eutland Hotel and the ** Sir John Warren." The
former is much frequented by commercial men and tourists. Adjoining it is the
Football Ground, one of the finest in the county.

taking place on the 24th of June. The Board did not provide any further
accommodation nntil 1882, when the Granhy schools (boys and girls) were erected
at a cost of £5,416. These were followed by the Kensington schools (boys, girls,
and infants), built in 1884, at a cost of £5,090. In 1889 an extensive range of
schools for boys, girls, and infants was erected in Chaucer street, at a cost of
£8,012 ; and a school, for infants only, was built in Gotmanhay Eoad in 1891, at
an expenditure of £4,190.
The Church Institute^ situated at the corner of Market Street, is a neat
building of brick, erected in 1884, at a cost of £1,400, raised by bazaars and
public subscription. It was opened by Lord Egerton of Tatton, April 24th, 1884,
and comprises museum, reading, recreation, and billiard rooms in the upper
storey, and library, with large lecture-room, coffee tavern, and caretaker's
residence on the ground floor.
The Baths, — A mineral spring was discovered many years ago, and for some
time it was in considerable repute. Its waters resembled those of Seltzer, in
Germany, and were said to be beneficial in various diseases. Baths were erected
in 1831, and the adjoining grounds tastefully laid out. For a time they met with
a fair share of patronage, but have now been disused for some years. Mining
operations interfered with the spring, and the water has entirely ceased to flow.
Gotmanhay is a hamlet and considerable village included in the borough of
Ilkeston, and inhabited chiefly by colliers and framework knitters. A church,
dedicated to Ghrist, was erected here in 1848, at a cost of £2,600, raised by
subscription, and an ecclesiastical district embracing part of Ilkeston and the
adjoining township of Shipley, in the parish of Heanor, was allotted to it. It is
a neat edifice of stone, in the Early English style, and consists of nave, with side
aisles, and small octagonal bell turret rising from front gable. The interior was
yery artistically decorated in 1867, and is rich in gold and colour. The east
window, of three lights, representing various scenes in the life of our Saviour, is
a memorial of the Eev. E. W. Symons, M.A., the first incumbent, who died in
1867. The windows of the clerestory are in triplets; those of the aisles are
single lancet lights. Two of these — one in each aisle — were inserted by Mr.
Joseph Shorthose; and two in the north aisles depicting St. Michael and the
Dragon, and the Virgin and Ghild, beautifiully executed by Mr. Kempe, of
London, are the tributes of affection from the three daughters of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Mundy, of Shipley Hall. The organ, erected in 1878 at a cost of £300, is
also a memorial of the same worthy couple. At the east end of the church,
under a handsome marble tomb, is the vault of the Mundy family. The church
will accommodate 600, and all seats are free. The living is a vicarage worth
£200 a year, with residence, in the gift of E. M. Mundy, Esq., whose father
endowed it with £1,500, and held by the Eev. E. T. S. Fowler, M.A., since
1858.
The schools, in connection with the church, are situated at Shipley.
The Free Ghurch Methodists have a chapel at Gotmanhay.
Little Hallam is a hamlet and village included in the borough of Ilkeston.
A Ijocal Notobiety. — Samuel Taylor, the Ilkeston giant, was bom at Little Hallam, in this
parish, in 1816. When only ten years of age he measured five feet ten inches; at twelve he
was six feet four inches, and at fourteen he stood only two inches under seven feet. When
sixteen years of age he was engaged by a travelling showman, and exhibited as a giant of seven
feet four inches. He subsequently took to the "show bizness" on his own account, and
traversed the country exhibiting in towns and villages. In 1875 he met with an accident near
Oldham which, eventually, resulted in his death. His body was brought by rail to Ilkeston for
interment, and a luge concourse of his native townsmen, headed by a brass band playing the
Dead March, joined in the mournful procession to the cemetery, the bells of the parish church
playing a muffled peal the while.
Note. — ^For much of the information here given we beg to acknowledge our indebtedness to
the Rev, B. M. Evans, M.A., and Mr. E. Trueman, and to those who desire to know more of
Ilkeston and its ancient lords, we recommend the perusal of Mr. Trueman's *' History of
Ilkeston."

each side of ife a small niche, the purpose whereof is not known with certainty.
The font is said by Dr. Cox to be a relic of the church that was erected here
shortly after the Norman Conquest. There are several marble monuments and
Gftained glass windows to the memory of various members of the Newdigate
fomily. The east window of . the chancel by Clay ton and Bell is inscribed '* To
the memory of Francis Newdigate, who died May 21, 1862 ; this window is
greeted by his family and tenants." Cue on the south side is an affectionate
tribute to the memory of a dearly-loved wife, erected by Francis W. Newdigate.
A window on the south side of the church was erected in 1894 by the parishioners
of Kirk Hallam as a token of respect to the memory of Francis Wm. Newdigate,
who died in 1893. On a brass plate at the west end of the nave is the following
inscription : —
" As here I am so let me lie,
Till Ohrist shaU oome and oaU to me
Rise up and stand before my face
That I and you may now embrace.
Which that I hope and long to see
My dearest Lord who dy'd for me.
And at his coming hope to have
A joyful rising from tne Grave.
Which Ood of his infinite Good
ness of mercy grant to me, Amen.
Patrick Bice aged 72, 1766.*'
At this end of the church also there is a tablet to the memory of James
Morrell, who died in 1894, and was for 30 years clerk of this parish. It was
erected by his fellow parishioners as a token of respect and esteem. On the
gravestone of Samuel Gleater, who died May 1st, 1811, at the age of 65, and lies
buried in the churchyard, is the following epitaph, which for sturdy patriotism
can scarcely be surpassed : —
'* True to his King, his Country was his glory.
When Bony won, he said it was a story.

LONG EATON.
This populous parish and thriving market town is situated at the south-
eastern extremity oi the county, adjoining Nottinghamshire, from which it is
separated by the Trent and the Erewash. It is in the hundred of Morleston and
litchnrch, petty sessional division and county court district of Derby, union of
Shardlow, and deanery of Ilkeston. The total superficial extent, including 82^
acres of water surface, is 2,098} acres, and the ratable value, according to the
latest assessment, is £45,256. In 1891 the inhabitants numbered 9,636, and now,
it is computed, they amount to about 11,000. The freeholders are lords of the
manor, the Earl of Harrington having accepted an allotment of eight acres at the
enclosure in Ueu of manorial rights. The principal landowners are Lord
Harrington, Elvaston Castle ; Nathaniel Charles Curzon, Esq., Lockington Hall;
J. C. Mopkins, 24, Eegent's Park, London ; S. J. Claye, Ltd. ; Charles Spencer

a cost of £1,600. The building is only half the size provided for n the architect's
plans, and can be extended in conformity with the original design whenever the
necessary funds are forthcoming. Behind the Chapel are the Sunday schools,
built in 1885, at a cost of £500. The Methodist Free Church (Mount Tabor), in
the Market Place, is a handsome building of brick ornamented with stone,
erected at a cost of £4,000, to seat 850. The Primitive Methodist (Bourne)
Chapel^ in Glaye Street^ is a commodious structure, erected in 1873, at a cost of
£2,000, exclusive of the site, which was given by S. J. Claye. It is comfortably
seated to accommodate 500. In connection with the chapel are extensive Sun-
day schools in Orchard Street, built in 1878, at an expense of about £1,000, and
enlarged in 1891, at a further outlay of £500. The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel at
Kirk Field, built in 1882, will accommodate about 700. The General Baptist
Chapel, in Station Boad, is a neat structure of brick and stone, erected in 1890, to
accommodate 450.
Schools. — A School Board was formed in 187 , and the High Street School
was opened in May, 1876. There is accommodation for 618 children in the three
departments, and an average attendance of 584. The Derby Boad Schools were
opened in September, 1885. They afford accommodation for 650, and have an
average attendance of 638. The Sawley Boad Schools, erected in 1892, form a
handsome block of buildings, with master's house adjoining. The designs were
furnished by Mr. John Sheldon, architect and surveyor, and the work was carried
out by Messrs. F. Perks & Son, the total cost being nearly £10,000. There are
two departments — mixed and infants, with a total accommodation for 692.
Evening continuation classes are held three nights a week during the winter
months. Evening classes are also held in St. Lawrence's National School.
A little distance from the town is Trent College^ erected in 1867 ; a superior
educational establishment, situated in its own grounds of 21 acres. The College
premises comprise a beautiful Chapel ; two Beading Booms for the younger and
older boys respectively ; two Swimming Baths, outdoor and indoor ; Fives Courts ;
Gymnasium ; Laboratory ; Workshop, &g. The Dormitories and Schoolrooms are
heated throughout with hot water. The course of study includes preparation
for the Universities, Civil Service, Army, and other examinations. There are
Scholarships for Classics, Mathematics, and Modern Languages, varying in value
according to the proficiency of the candidates, from £30 to £10. The religious
teaching of the College is based upon the Scriptures, in accordance with the
principles of the EngUsh Beformation. The Bev. J. Savile Tucker, M.A., Balliol
Coll., Oxon., is the head master.
Wellesley College is another high-class educational establishment. The
house, which is beautifully situated, was erected at a cost of several thousands,
and is specially adapted for scholastic purposes. The curriculum is broad and
practical, and includes Divinity, Latin, French, Mathematics, Natural Science,
English Grammar, Composition, Literature, Geography, History, Bookkeeping,
Shorthand, Arithmetic, Beading, Writing, and Drawing in all its branches.
The Long Eaton Becreation Grounds Co., Ltd., have about thirteen acres of
land enclosed for recreation purposes, football, cricket, bowling, tennis, &c. There
is a good cycling track, 2J laps to the mile. The Poor's Close, in Stanley Street,
for which the Urban District Council pay £12 yearly, is also used as a recreation
ground.
The poetic muse is occasionally met with in very unlikely places. The
following effusion is painted on the sign of Edwin Jas. Bowe, postman and shoe-
maker : — *• Here lives a man who don't refuse
To mend all kinds of boots and shoes ;
His work is good, his charge is just,
He is so poor he cannot trust."
Chabiiibs.— T%omas Hollingwcrtht in 1675, gave a close of land adjoining Bramcote to the
poor of Sawley, Long Eaton, and Bramcote. This land was exchanged in 1842. The rent, £15
yearly, is divided equally between Sawley, Long Eaton, and Bramcote. The Poor's Close, rent
£12 a yeaar, is distributed !at Christmas amongst the industrious poor. Almshouses for six poor
per8on£ were built by pabUo sabsoription in 1858.

penny, and all the inhabitants of the said towns of Elvaston, Thurlaston, and Ambaston, shall
liaye and receive all the profits and advantages, coming of the said ales, to the use and behoof of
the said church of Elvaston ; and the inhabitants of the said towns of Elvaston, Thurlaston, and
Ambaston, shall brew eight ales betwixt this and the feast of St. John the Baptist, at which ales,
and evexy one of them, the inhabitants shall come and pay as before rehearsed, who, if he be
away at one ale to pay at the t'oder ale for both, or else to send his money. And the inhabitants
of Ookbrook shall carry all manner of tymber, being in the Dale wood now felled, that the said
priest chyrch of the said towns of Elvaston, Thurlaston, and Ambaston shall occupy to the use of
the said church."
Ockbrook remained a chapelry to Elvaston till after the dissolution of
monasteries when the tithes passed into lay hands. The living is now a vicarage,
worth £250 per annum, with residence, in the gift of E. H. Pares, Esq., and held
by the Rev. Levns Lewis, B.A., since 1877.
The Primitive Methodists have had a small chapel in the village since 1824 ;
there is also a National School, capable of accommodating 240 children.
The Moravian Brethren have a settlement at Ockbrook, founded in 1750.
The buildings are ranged in a line, with chapel in the centre. The Brethren have
two Boarding Schools here for youths and young ladies under separate manage-
ment. The latter was established in 1799, and the boys' school was commenced
in 1820. The object of each institution is ''to afiord sound and ample instruc-
tion in the various branches of learning requisite to a useful and liberal educa-
tion, and to train the pupils in such a manner as to embue them with the prin-
ciples of Evangelical Christianity, and to prepare them for the faithful and
efficient discharge of their duties in after life."
Borrowash is a large and important village, on the north bank of the river
Derwent, which here divides the parish of Ockbrook from Elvaston. Here, on
the bank of the Derwent, is the cotton doubling factory of Messrs. Towle & Co.,
which gives employment to a considerable number of hands. This factory
occupies the site of the ancient corn mill, the tithe of which was given by Balph
EitzGeremund, lord of half the town of Ockbrook, to the baker hermit of Dale,
from whom it passed to the Abbots of Dale after the establishment of the
monastery. A chapel-of-ease, dedicated to St. Stephen, was erected here in 1890.
It is a neat cruciform structure of brick, consisting of chancel, nave, and
transepts. The cost of erection was about £1,100, and there is sitting accom-
modation for 170. All seats are free. In connection with the church are com-
modious day schools, attended by 200 children. The Wesleyan and Primitive
Methodists have chapels, built in 1825 and 1851 respectively. The west end of
the village stretches into Spobdon parish.
Ghabttibs — Robert Piggin^ in 1706, left 408. yearly, payable out of a farm at Chaddesden, to
be distributed amongst the poor of the parish on Good Friday. Anne Potter^ in 1709, left a rent-
charge of 20s. per annum. Mr. W. Mallalieu is the present owner of the property, and the
money is distributed on Whit-Monday. Edward Jamcs^ in 1709, gave 20s. yearly to the poor.
This sum is payable out of Bartlewood Lodge, the property of V^. D. N. Drury-Lowe, Esq., and is
distributed by the churchwardens. "William James, in 1732, devised a plot of land called Moor
Close, which has been exchanged for another parcel called Poor's Close, the rent of which is
distributed amongst the poor. The poor also receive from Gisborne's bequest £6 10s, which is
expended in the ptirohase of warm clothing.

A priory of Angortiiiiaa oftnonB wae eBteUiahed here ml an eurly poiod.
Glover, in his " History aod Gasetteer of the County of Deiby/* says it wm
founded by the Eari of Mereia, who was lord of the manor heforQ the GonqiMit
Bat aa neither the manor nor the priory is mentioned in Domesday Book, tho
assertion is open to doubt. It was, howeyer, in ezistenee vary soon after the
Conqaest Gregory de Diva, about the year 1100, gave, by charter stiU eitent,
to God and to the church of St. Giles of Galke, and to the religious men ibtsn
serving God, the church of St. Anne of Sutton-on-8oar. Sometime before 1161,
Maude, widow of Banulph, 4th Earl of Chester, gave to God and St. Mary aod
to the canons of Calc the advowson of the church of St. Wiostan, of Beptoo, and
the working of the quarry in that place, on condition that CUke be made a
dependent cell on the priory, to be founded at Bepton« whenever a sidtabb
opportunity shall present itscdf. Hugh, 5th Earl, confirmed and enlarged the
grant of his mother, and other benefactors added to the endowment. Ilia
Priory of Bepton was founded in 1172, and thenceforth Calke became a dependent
cell on that house.
The priory flourished till the Beformation, when its possessions were oon-
fiscated by the Crown. In 1547, Edv^urd YI. granted the site to John, Eail of
Warwick, to be held on a lease of 49 years for a peppercorn rent, and after that
for 40 years longer at £6 13s. 4d. per annum. In 1677, it was the seat ani
property of Boger Wensley, Esq. ; five years later the estate was sold to Bobert
Bainbrigge,'Esq., and that gentleman, in 1621, conveyed it to Henry Baipv,
Esq. (afterwards Sir Henry Harpur, Bart.), from whom it has descended to ft
Vauncey Harpur Crewe, the present owner.
Calke Abbey, the seat of the worthy baronet, is a laige, handsome iton
mansion surrounded by a well- wooded park stocked with fadlow and red dov.
The south front presents a fine appearance, the portico, supported by fonrhmi
citone columns, being approached oy two broad flights of stone atops. 1m
abbey contains a fine collection of English birds, and, in 1894, Sir V. H. Gnst
became the possessor of the great auk's egg, for which he gave the sum of SOD
guineas.
The family traces its pedigree backwards to the time of the Norman O0O*
quest. The remote ancestor was Eichard le Harpur, a contemporary d
William I. Sir Bichard Harpur was Sergeant-at-Law and Chief Justice of th8
Common Pleas in the reign of Elizabeth. He married Jane Findem, who, od
the death of her brother Thonms, inherited Swarkeston, Findem, Stenson, iol
Twyford. His grandson, Sir Henry Harpur, purchased Calke, which thencefwth
became the seat of this branch of the family. Sir John Harpur, Knt. and Bart.,
I i of Calke, grandson of the above Sir Henry, became by the death of his relatiTB,
.■ ] Sir John Harpur of Swarkeston, without surviving issue, heir to the vast esUtas
of that gentleman. He married Aune, daughter of Lord Willoughby, by whom
ho had a son and a daughter. The former. Sir John Harpur, Bart., married
Catherine, youngest daughter and coheiress of Thomas hprd Crewe, of Steio^
Co. Northampton, and their great grandson. Sir Henry, assumed, by royal ptf^
■ 1 mission in 1808, the name and arms of Crewe. He marrie<l Miss Fanny HawfiB«»
j hy whom he had four sons and two daughters. He was succeeded by his eUfi^
son. Sir George Crewe, Bart., who was sheriff of Derbyshire in 1821. S'
Vauncey Harpur Crewe, the present holder of the title and estates, is U*
grandson.
The church, which bears the same dedication as the priory, was completdT
modernised in 1826, by a casing of new stone throughout, and the additiooofi
small embattled tower, which contains an ancient bell. The entire cost was de-
frayed by Sir George Crewe. Against the north wall of the chancel is a ne»*
marble monument to Sir John Harpur, who died in 1741, and Catherine, bi*
wife ; and the memory of the late baronet, who died in 1886, is simiMf
honoured. The register dates from 1699. Sir V. H. Crewe, Bart., is thepatroHi
and the Bev. Thomas Orrell, vicar of Foremark, is the present chqliain.

WALTON-ON-TRENT.
This parish is situated on the east bank of the Trent, which here dividec
county from Staffordshire. It is in tLe hundred of Reptoa and Oresley, elec
division of Meaeham, petty sessional division of Swadlincote, union and ca
court district of Burton -on-Trent, and rural district and deanery of Beptou.
area, according to the union returns, is 2,266 acres, ratable value £4,825, am
population in 1691 was 434. The soil is a. strong loam, resting on a subsc
light me.rl, in the northern part of the parish, and strong marl in the »
Wheat, oats, barley, mangel wurzels, and a few beans are grown; but about
half of the laud is laid down in grass. Bichard Batcljff, Esq., Stamford
Loughborough, owns about two-thirds of the parish ; and the remaining pc
belongs to Miss Bisbrowe, Walton Hall; Mrs. Anson-Horton, Cat ton ; anc
rector of Walton. Mr. EatcliEf and Miss Disbrowe own the manorial righ
their respective properties.
At the time of the Domesday Survey Walton was a royal manor, hut
shortly afterwards granted by the Conqueror to his nephew, Hugh Lupus,
of Chester, and it remairjed attached to that earldom till the end of the reif
Henry III. Subsequently it was granted to Sir John Delves, of Doddin,
Cheshire, who had distinguished himself in the wars of Edward III., and
appointed one of the justices of the King's Bench. At his death, in ]
without surviving issue, the manor of Walton reverted to the Crown, and

The villaRe is pleasantly situated on gently rising ground near the river,
miles S. by W, from Burtoii-on-Trent, and about one mile from Barton t
Walton railway station, on the opposite side of the Treut. The river is h
crossed by a bridge of eif^bt archea, erected by the Walton- on -Trent Itriijge Co.
1836, and a toll is exacted from each vehicle and footpasaenger making use of
Previous to that year the only means of crossing the river was by a ford at I
spot, which was fraught with a considerable amount of danger.
The church (St. Laurence) is an ancient building of stone, origiDally found
EOOD after the Conquest, and still retaining a few traces of Norman work. Ti
may be seen in a round-headed doorway, now blocked up, in the north wall, a
in a zig-zag moulding on a wall plate on the south side of the nave, just sbc
the foundations. A transeptal chantry was added in 1334 by Richard Wale;
the then rector, and endowed with six messuages, one canicate of arable lai
two acres of meadow, and IjJ^d. in rents. The church was barbarously reswi
in 1827, and again more carefully in 1868. It comprises chancel, nave, soi
aisle, transept (now used as a vestry], and western embattled tower. The \a.l
is in the Perpendicular style, and was probably erected by the Ferrers soon al
they came into possession of Walton. On the west front are three fihiel
carved in stone, two of them bearing the masclcs of Ferrers, and the other
arms of Gresley and Wastenoys, quarterly. The chancel belongs to the ea
part of the 13th century, and contains a triple sedilia, piscina, and aainl
There is no chancel arch now, but the staircase of twelve steps that once
to the rood loft still remains in the north wa!i. There are also three sedilia
a piscina in the chantry (now the vestry), but their original charactei
obliterated by a thick coating of stucco. The nave is separated from the aislt
three pointed archea, resting upon stucco-coated pillars. Some of the wind
are stained glass memorials, and formerly there was much heraldic glass in
church which is noticed by Wyrley, the Staffordshire antiquary, who via
Walton in 1590.
There are several ancient monuments, the oldest is the mutilated stone e
of a priest, wichiii a recessed arch, in the chantry. It bears no inscription,
is genemliy supposed to represent the founder of the chantry. In the cha
floor is a marble slab bearing a very fine brass representing a priest in alb
chasuble, in the act of consecration. There were formerly on it a Latin epii
and marginal inscription, but these have been torn off; they are. howt
quoted by Wyrley, and show that it is the tomb of Kobert Morley. a foi
rector of the church, who died in li'J-2. There are also 17th century "slabs tii
memory of Penelope Ferrers and her daughter, and others of the same ccntui'
two rectors and two reutors' wives. In the chantry is an alabaster slab i
memorating Agnes, wifo of Robert Boucher, who died in 1583, and another
an inscription quite illegible, except the word "WiUiani Wliittiuge and .
anno domini lot)S." This church is the burial place of the Disbi-owes, aud i
are several handsome tablets to the memory of minnbers of that family.
The tower contains a cbck, presented by Miss Disbrowe in 1887, and t
bells, one modern, two ancient. The earliest register begins in 1587, but is
legible for the first five vears.
Th.t living is u rectory, net value f-JfiO, and held by the Rev. F. C. Fi;
M.A., since 1860. The piit'ionage was attached to the manor until sold by
Marquis of Townshend in the early part of tlio present century. It siibsoqut

DERBY.
By JOHN WARD, F.S.A.
5) RITAIN figures in history from the age of Alexander the Great, or about
^^ the 4th century, ante Christum^ when Pytheas, '* the Humboldt of
^y Antiquity," explored the north-western regions of Europe, and paved
the way for the Greek merchants of Marseilles to resort thither for tin and timber.
"" But the references — for they are mere references — of the Greek writers to this
country are vague and intermixed with fable. We obtain no sure gleams of the
interior or of its inhabitants and their civilization from this source ; and the
glowing descriptions of pre-Boman Britain which the Welsh Triads of a later date
indulged in, are wholly fanciful. Dense darkness covers the interior until the
advent of the Romans. With them authentic history commences, but Derby
finds no place in their historians.
The voice of Archaeology is equally silent. There is no record of the discovery
within the limits of the old borough, of coins, pottery, or other vestiges of humao
handiwork, which can be said to connect it with Romano-British or earlier times.
Button, the quaintly satirical old historian, said the most that could be said in
favour of a British origin to the town, but it did not amount to much, nor didht
himself think it did. It remained for later and less cautious writers to asseri
such an origin. His surmise a century ago, that where All Saints' Church stands
the Britons may have had a sanctuary, was the germ of the unhesitating statemen
. of a recent writer that, '' like Notre Dame, All Saints' occupies the site of i
J •} Pagan temple."
^ J We said above, ** the old borough." This limitation was necessary ; forlik
K » most other manufacturing towns, Derby has enlarged its borders, and ha
absorbed in so doing villages and clusters of houses previously separated from
by stretches of green fields. One such place is Little Chester, which, 50 yeai
ago, was a rural village half-a-mile from the town ; now connected therewith b
streets and buildings. As this place was a Roman station, Derby may be said 1
have acquired a Roman origin by its enlargement, hence it will not be inappropria
to commence this historical sketch with an account of
LITTLE CHESTER.
From a historical point of view, Derbyshire labours under the disadvaat&i
pf finding no place in the Itinerary of Antoninus, the Geography of Ptolemy, tJ
Notitia Imperii, nor the Pentingerian Tables. The only guide we have (apa
from Archaeology) is the Chorography of Ravennas, attributed to the 6th centur

Scapula, threw his chain of forts from the Severn to the Wash, to separate il
■ northern barbarism from the conquered south. Within ten years of this appro:
mate date, Caractacus and his Silures were defeated, and the rising of Boadici
was quelled. Then followed a short period of inaction, during which tl
conquerors were content to stand on the defensive, and hold what they Hj
gained. In a.d. 75, however, Frontinus resumed the conquest of Britain ; ai

The Domesdav acoount of Derby, taken into consideration with the pn
historical notices, mmiehes ua with some data for formiiw an estimate of tb
Norman town. It is plain enough that, as one of the " Five Burghs," Deri
an important plaoe, not merely in the Danelagh, bnt in the country generall;
the " Saxon Cnroniele " it is described as a " fortress," when nnder the 1
Tbo mention of " gates " in Ethelfleda's assault, and of " waHa " in the tram
of the relics of St. Alkmnnd, confirm this, although it is hardly likely thai
walls were otherwise than earthen mounds sormoanted with wooden pa
and fronted by a ditch. Tradition asserts that besides these urban defences
was a castle, and this is fully corroborated by the names of certain fields
lay between the London and Siddals roads before that district was built upc
still more by the actual mounds which Hutton traced between Cock-pit H
St. Peter's Street. The absence of any mention of it in Domesday Book p
docs not count for much, but that it should find no place in subsequent 1
proves that it must have ceased to be a stronghold at an early date, pr
before the Norman era. If so, it would consist, like the " walls" of the tc
great earth-works and palisades. When and by whom it was raised we ca:
conjecture, but the most reasonable conjecture is that fortress -building Eth
constructed it after the fall of Derby, to hold the district in subjection.
A comparison of Derby with Nottingham (also a member of the

not at Deri))- ; there must, however, have been one at this town, for coins i
here of the reigns of Edward the Confessor, William the Conqueror, Hei

The six churches furnish an indication of the size of the town i
Confessor's days. St, Alkmund's was at its northern extremity and St. ]
at its southern, while its breadth from east to west is represented by Pull
and St. Werburgh's, So slight had been the growth of the town from this
to a century ago, that Hutton could write, " the town appeara to have been
as large a thousand years ago as now." It is likely enough, faowever, ti

among subjects, a giant among dwarfs." This noble tower, one of t!
examples of late Perpendicular in the country, was commenced about t1
of Henry VII. 'b reign, and was slowly raised during the following twenty i
years. The coat of ita erection was, to a large extent, defrayed by Chore

In 1662 a cyclone swept across the south part of the town, unroofing
and uprooting trees. That horrible sentence to those who obstinately refi
plead — Pressing to Death — was carried out, perhaps for the last time in E
at the Old Shire Halt, ou the person of a woman, in 1665. It has long be
as a cardinal point of local history that the town was devastated by tht
Plague which laid London low in 1666. Hutton appears to be the first v
mention such a visitation in that year, and his graphic description of it
known. The total absence of corroborative evidence leads the writer t
that Hutton's authority was oral tradition ouly, and that the story relai
visitation of the Plague in 1645-7, which was so bad that the assizes hi
bold in the Friar's Close. The church registers of Derby give no indie
any abnormal death-rate. Hutton's statement that " the inhabitants ere

consisting of about four quadrangular steps, covered in the centre with o:
stone," whereon to place a vessel of vinegar to receive tbo purchasers' m
obviously incorrect. To erect so massive a sub-structure for this purpos<
ha a waste of labour and material; but to call it a headless cross woi
manifest absurdity. The designation implies that it once bore a cross,
lost it. The great stone is now in the Arboretum, and a very slight ins

rAveraage Almshouses, Iionilan road. This
charity was left in 1529 by Robert Li versage,
who granted certain lands and tenements to
the vicar of St. Peter's and other trustees,
that they should pay all the rents thereof to
Ralph Ticy, priest, that he nhould say Mass
daily in the chapel which the said Robert
Livcrsago had built, for tho repose of his
soul and that of Alice his wife ; and that
ETory Friday one silver penny should bo
given to each of thirteen poor men and
women present at Maas. The property of
tho charity has increased very greatly in
value, and now produces over £8,000 per
annum. The present almshouses, twenty-
four in number, were built in 1835-6 and
1846, and each inmate receives shillings
per weak. Secretary — Mr. Saml. Hadfield;
