It sets out the special historic and architectural interest that makes the character and appearance of Smisby worthy of protection. It also assesses the degree of damage to that special interest and thus opportunities for future enhancement. This document will be used by the Council when making professional judgements on the merits of development applications. The Ticknall Conservation Area was jointly designated by South Derbyshire District Council and Derbyshire Councty Council on 17th November 1972 and extended by the District Council on 24th November 1983. Summary Ticknall sits in a sheltered valley south of the River Trent on the busy A514 between Derby and Swadlincote. It is strategically placed on the district’s road network, with several roads radiating from the village and heading towards Repton, Swadlincote, Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Melbourne. Ticknall Conservation Area Character Statement Although often identified as an estate village, it was only between 1765 and the 1830s that the Harpur (later Crewe and Harpur Crewe) family of Calke Abbey finally bought out most Lullington Conservation Area Character Statement of the lesser freeholders, it being a well-established settlement long before then (first recorded in 1002).

This document will be used by the Council when making professional judgements on the merits of development applications. The Stanton by Bridge Conservation Area was designated by South Derbyshire District Council on 13th July 1978. Summary Stanton-by-Bridge evolved over a long period. It had a strategic ridge-line location first established around its church and was one of several Anglo-Saxon settlements in South Derbyshire bordering the floodplain of the Trent. Shallows in the River Trent north of Stanton-by-Bridge enabled a bridge to be constructed in medieval times. This with its massive 14th century Causeway (pictured below), constructed across the flood plain, terminated at the foot of the rocky Millstone Grit outcrop on which Stanton sits. Swarkestone Bridge was then the only bridge to cross the Trent for some 10 miles or so, the nearest being at Burton.

As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Alkmund's form the first instalment of the Registers of the County Town. The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

    Reptile Checklist for Leicestershire and Rutland

    Reptile Checklist for Leicestershire and Rutland Compiled in 2016 by Andrew Heaton, County Recorder for Amphibians and Reptiles in Vice-County 55 (Leicestershire & Rutland) R1. Slow-worm Anguis fragilis Native. Uncommon, with few scattered records in Charnwood, West Leicestershire and Rutland (the main concentration, if any, being Charnwood Forest). This legless lizard, being rather elusive, may possibly be under- recorded rather than rare – elsewhere around the Midlands, it is frequently found in urban areas (gardens and allotments). There may have been a decline since recording began. RDB species. Slow-worm (Anguis fragilis) Viviparous Lizard (Lacerta vivipara) 5 5 4 4 3 3 2 2 1 1 SK TF SK TF 9 9 8 8 7 7 SP 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 TL 1 SP 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 TL 1 R2. Common Lizard Zootoca vivipara Native. Uncommon; records are concentrated in the heathy habitats of Charnwood Forest and the Moira area of North West Leicestershire, and in the drier habitats of East Rutland. Elsewhere, they are rather scarce, but, pleasingly, new sites seem to keep turning up. Confirmation of the presence of lizards outside Charnwood Forest was only made in comparatively recent years (since the 1960s). RDB species. R3 Sand Lizard Lacerta agilis Native to Britain (but probably not in Leicestershire). Native to heaths and sand dunes in south-central England. Reported in the Victoria County History of Leicestershire (1907), as formerly present, in the 1840s, (in Charnwood?), though rare. There is no firm evidence for this (and the VCH author appears sceptical).
  • Servants' Passage

    Servants' Passage

    SERVANTS’ PASSAGE: Cultural identity in the architecture of service in British and American country houses 1740-1890 2 Volumes Volume 1 of 2 Aimée L Keithan PhD University of York Archaeology March 2020 Abstract Country house domestic service is a ubiquitous phenomenon in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain and America. Whilst shared architectural and social traditions between the two countries are widely accepted, distinctive cultural identity in servant architecture remains unexplored. This thesis proposes that previously unacknowledged cultural differences between British and American domestic service can be used to rewrite narratives and re-evaluate the significance of servant spaces. It uses the service architecture itself as primary source material, relying on buildings archaeology methodologies to read the physical structures in order to determine phasing. Archival sources are mined for evidence of individuals and household structure, which is then mapped onto the architecture, putting people into their spaces over time. Spatial analysis techniques are employed to reveal a more complex service story, in both British and American houses and within Anglo-American relations. Diverse spatial relationships, building types and circulation channels highlight formerly unrecognised service system variances stemming from unique cultural experiences in areas like race, gender and class. Acknowledging the more nuanced relationship between British and American domestic service restores the cultural identity of country house servants whose lives were not only shaped by, but who themselves helped shape the architecture they inhabited. Additionally, challenging accepted narratives by re-evaluating domestic service stories provides a solid foundation for a more inclusive country house heritage in both nations. This provides new factors on which to value modern use of servant spaces in historic house museums, expanding understanding of their relevance to modern society.
