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.

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.

VIII. yJ HonOon: Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., Ltd., 124, Chancery Lane. — PREFACE This volume of Marriage Registers, the eighth of the Derbyshire series, contains the Registers of nine parishes, besides an odd Register for Ilkeston parish, omitted from the last volume. 1379096 It has not been thought needful to print the entries verbatim. 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.

However, no formal consultation, figures seem incorrect, so the possibility of a judicial review is being looked at, for updates look at SOS Rosliston Medical Center Facebook Page. - I have referred the clerks report of a safety light outside Walton school 31/5 to a County colleague who is dealing with it. Needs to go back to manufacturer. - Please ensure all antisocial behaviour, flytipping and crimes are reported to 101 or SDDC, gain a reference, it is only possible for SDDC and the Police to help if it is reported. We now have two full time rural crime officers based at Swadlincote linked to Matlock where eventually there will be a team of 10, this will increase the Police presence in the area and really make a difference in the rural parts of South Derbyshire. - Walton Bridge Update Walton Bridge 01/06/2019 Amy Wheelton Synopsis after meetings with relevant parties. - The following planning have been granted for the new bridge, with one million pounds spent on groundworks already.
