The origins of the group lie in the 1990s and early 2000 when Sue Brown and Janet Spavold studied the local history and landscape for their book “Ticknall Pots and Potters” which was published in 2005. It showed that the industry was widespread both geographically and over time in the parish, with 25 production sites (the total is now 31) working from the medieval periods to 1888. Not all sites were working at the same time. Ticknall’s reputation derived from the high-quality Cistercian ware, decorated and plain, and the Midlands Purple Ware which were produced here and sold throughout the Midlands. Nine years later the Group is still active and has amassed much new information about the potters and potteries of Ticknall. Members taking part in the investigation with either digging, washing, sorting or drawing were: Sue Brown, David Budge, Celia Bunston, Sybil Carter, Patti Cust, Doreen de Blaquiere, Paul Fletcher, Barbara Foster, Keith Foster, Morwenna Fox, Sue Fox, Anne Green, Sue Hallifield, Tilly Hallifield, Marianne Head, Emily Holt, Lesley Holt, Ollie Jackson, Ann Jones, David Jones, Hannah Male, Sylvia Mathias, Colleen Newton, Peter Newton, Paul Ryan, Sue Peberdy, Maria Pickin, Karenina Raffle, Martin Roe, Jayne Saunders, Les Saunders, Coleen Shepherd, Annette Soar, Janet Spavold, Julie Tibbert, Joan Tomlinson, Anne Wileman, Heather Wrigglesworth, Rachel Young. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This site is Ticknall Site 14 (Spavold and Brown p.59). It is an important site as Staunton Lane End Cottage on Staunton Lane, Ticknall was the production site of a type of known bottle that has become known internationally as a “Martincamp Flask” and although other production sites also existed, this site in Ticknall is the first production site to be identified anywhere.

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).

ILon&on Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., 124, Chancery Lane. 1908. — PREFACE. 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.

They are reduced to a common form, and the following con- tractions, as before, have been freely used : w. = widower or widow. p. = of the parish of. co. = in the county of. dioc.= in the diocese of. lie. = marriage licence. It should be remembered that previous to 1752 the year was calculated as beginning on the 25th March, instead of the I St of January, so that a Marriage taking place on say 20th February, 1625, would be on that date in 1626 according to our reckoning ; but as the civil and ecclesiastical year were both used, this is sometimes expressed by 20th February, i62f. In all cases where the marriage is stated to have taken place by Licence, that fact is recorded, as the searcher thereby knows that further information as to age, parentage, and voca- tion of the parties is probably recoverable from the Allegations in the Archdeaconry or other ofifice from which the Licence was issued.

So many parishes in S.E. Derbyshire have been dealt with in this Series that it was hoped and intended that the present volume would be devoted entirely to the High Peak district and would contain a compact group of adjacent parishes, an arrangement which always brings out in a peculiar degree the value of this method of printing the complete Marriage Registers of a whole district. Unfortunately it was not found possible to obtain sufficient MS. from the High Peak without delaying indefinitely the issue of the volume, already overdue. The latter third of the book, therefore, has been filled with the important Register of Repton, the MS. of which had been ready for some time. The Repton abstracts were made by Mr. Simpson and Mr. E. B. Smith ; those of Chapel-en-le-Frith, which contain so many entries of old-established Peak families as to be of exceptional interest to genealogists, were done by of Fairfield Mr. W.

  • Heath End Conservation Area Appraisal and Study
    HEATH END CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL AND STUDY OCTOBER 2002 PREFACE The District Council has a duty under Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to determine which parts of the District are of special architectural or historical interest which it is desirable to preserve and enhance and to designate such areas as Conservation Areas. Having regard to these requirements and the advice contained in the English Heritage guidance notes 'Conservation Area Practice' and 'Conservation Area Appraisals', in July 2002 the District Council produced an appraisal document proposing the designation of a conservation area at Heath End. The document 'Heath End : An Appraisal For Conservation Area Designation' was the subject of consultation and publicity over a six week period between 1 August 2002 and 12 September 2002. Having considered the various representations and recommended amendments the District Council's Executive Board of 29 October 2002 resolved the following :- (1) to approve the designation of a Conservation Area at Heath End. (2) to adopt (subject to amendments) the consultation document 'Heath End : An Appraisal For Conservation Area Designation' as the Heath End Conservation Area Appraisal/Study as supplementary planning guidance to the policies of the North West Leicestershire Local Plan. As supplementary planning guidance the Conservation Area Appraisal/Study document whilst not having the same status as an adopted plan policy may be taken into account as a material consideration in the determination of planning applications.
