  • 1 Made in Derby 2018 Profile Bess of Hardwick
    Made in Derby 2018 Profile Bess of Hardwick Bess of Hardwick has been described as one of the richest women in England during Tudor times and a good friend of Queen Elizabeth I. She also had an obsession with building. This is borne out by the wording on her marble tomb effigy in Derby Cathedral - the parish church of All Saints in Bess’s lifetime - which describes her as the “aedificatrix’ (builder) of Chatsworth, Hardwick and Oldcotes. Both Hardwick Hall – old and new- Chatsworth House – still exist and stand as a testimony to both Bess’s wealth and her building fervour. Althougnothing remains of Oldcotes, which was built for her son William Cavendish. And although she spent much of her life marrying four times, having eight children and building grand houses in the north of the county, she also found opportunity to be in Derby. She had a town house built on the north side of the Market Place. This was a large brick Tudor house, which enabled Bess and her husband, Lord Shrewsbury, to attend functions in Derby and probably later became Newcastle House and large parts of this were not demolished until 1971. Earlier in 1599, Bess decided to found a charity in Derby to the rear of All Saints Church in Full Street. 1 It was called the Shrewsbury Hospital, later to become the Devonshire Hospital but more likely to resemble almshouses, to house eight poor men and four poor women, to be endowed with a rent-charge of £100 per annum. The lucky people were to be chosen from the parishes of All Saints’, St.

  • Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated.
