  • 1 Made in Derby 2018 Profile Bess of Hardwick

    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.

    From the World's First Factory, to a Museum of Making

    From the world’s first factory, to a Museum of Making Derby’s rich history and heritage is going to be celebrated in 2020 on the site of the world’s first factory, when the city opens a major new £17m museum. Run by Derby Museums, the Museum of Making - in the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site - will be a contemporary space telling Derby’s 300-year history of innovation and “making”. It will also be aimed, partly, at inspiring new creativity. Designed and made by the people and industries of Derby it will become a focal point for a dynamic calendar of exhibitions, workshops, activities and events. Revealing the whole building to the public for the very first time, the new Museum will display over 50,000 objects including the Rolls-Royce Eagle Engine, which helped power the first transatlantic flight 100 years ago in June 1919. This concept has been developed by Derby Museums in collaboration with the local community, it will help to shape the way in which Derby is understood and appreciated - thanks to the long list of innovators, makers and creators associated with the city. The Silk Mill of John and Thomas Lombe itself is believed to be the world’s first factory. The silk throwing machines in this building were based on machines studied by John Lombe in Italy - the designs of these having been copied and smuggled into England in an early example of industrial espionage. The layout of the mills, with a large number of people in two buildings doing a number of processes, was the prototype for the modern factory and was a model for the later textile mills built for Arkwright and partners 50 years later.
