  • Erasmus Fowke
    1 ERASMUS FOWKE Erasmus Fowke was born in or near Quarndon, Derbyshire and baptised July 13, 1794. His parents were Thomas Fowke and Rebecca Wallstone Fowke, whose first child was Anna (or Hannah?), baptised in 1781, then Thomas, baptised in 1792, and last Rebecca, baptised in 1796. A Job is mentioned in the parish records as the son of Thomas and Mary, and the name Mary may be a mistake, as the family recollection is that Job was Erasmus’s brother. He was baptised in 1793. The baptismal dates were not necessarily close to the children’s birth dates. Quarndon was a tiny place, only a few short miles from Derby, but during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries it was at least moderately well known in England for its healing waters. Pigot’s 1835 Directory, found on the GENUKI Internet site, states that in 1821 Quarndon had just 438 inhabitants and in 1831, 487. It also mentions that, “Sir John Curzon, in 1725, bequeathed an annuity of L20. for the support of a free school, for a limited number of children of poor parents residing in Quarndon, Kedleston and Weston.” Perhaps this was the school which provided Erasmus and his brothers with their education. There is nothing to indicate that the Fowke family had a lot of money. All three sons left the area to seek their fortunes. There is a very amusing story about a certain “Nanny Fowke” from Quarndon. It is quite unlikely that Nanny Fowke was not related to our Fowkes, given the small size of Quarndon.

  • Church Broughton Parish, Derbyshire
    Church Broughton Parish, Derbyshire: An oral history, 1900-1940 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Janet Arthur De Montfort University June 2019 Abstract This study is an oral history of a Derbyshire dairying parish during the first forty years of the twentieth century. The aim was to discover the nature and cohesion of society in a parish with no resident lord of the manor, the effects on the parish of changes in agricultural practice and the impact of government interventions on the lives of individuals. The lives of residents were affected by the history and layout of the parish, based on the geography and previous ownership. Having no resident lord of the manor generated a social structure with three layers: firstly, seven key people, outsiders who did not own land, secondly, networks of small landowners and artisans, who had lived there for generations, finally, labourers, many also families of long standing. Religion was important in supporting this social structure. Being an ‘open’ parish had enabled a chapel to be built and the provision of a school, though not all children attended this school. Through widespread ownership, there was a freedom to live and work without being beholden to neighbouring estates, as alternative employment could be found elsewhere for any surplus workers. Mechanisation improved farming practice, but, though government intervention during the First World War helped, the downturn afterwards and competition between farmers meant dairying was precarious, until the foundation of the Milk Marketing Board in 1933 to control production and price. The sale of the Duke of Devonshire’s farms in 1918 to the occupiers and the County Council removed the prestige that his tenants had enjoyed.

  • On Some Mediaeval Pottery Recently Found in Derbyshire
    ON SOME MEDIAEVAL POTTERY RECENTLY FOUND IN DERBYSHIRE. By Charles T. Gaily, Esq., Hon. Secretary. (Read November iSth, 1878.) HE writer has been for some time engaged in making a T catalogue of the pottery and porcelain in the Mayer Collection, and this work has involved a classification of the specimens. The difficulty of effecting such an arrangement in a satisfactory manner, must be experienced to be fully appreciated. Each group has its problems ; and concerning some, there seem to be but few satisfactory solutions. The history, fabric, mani­ pulation, age, and locality, all form points of interest for the enquirer to determine; and in the lapse of time which has occurred since the objects came into existence, many of these details have passed out of record and remembrance. The group of Early English pottery, however, comprising all the English productions subsequent to the Roman and Anglo- Saxon times, and previous to the i8th century, is as difficult a class to deal with as any, and principally for the reason that it offers so few distinctive features. There seems to be a dead level in the art of pottery throughout those five or six centuries. The materials used were of the very simplest kind, and the ornamentation, with a few exceptions, was extremely rude. The chemical ingredients of the various clays do not appear to have been understood, and all the mediaeval fabrics are of the simple kind arrived at by peoples who are acquainted only with the H 98 Medioeval Pottery. appearances of clays. It was not until the introduction of Eastern porcelain fabrics into this country, in consequence of the Dutch and English connection with India and China, that any attempt was made to work upon the chemical properties of the clays.

  • Heritage at Risk East Midlands Em
    APETHORPE HALL Northamptonshire Grade I listed, country house dating from the late 15th century onwards. Following a public enquiry in 2004, the Secretary of State confirmed the Compulsory Purchase Order. English Heritage took possession of the site in September, and urgent works and holding repairs were completed in October 2004. The first phase of repairs is complete and Apethorpe Hall is now for sale. 16 HERITAGE AT RISK EAST MIDLANDS EM 17 HERITAGE AT RISK 2008 Since the 1999 baseline register, the total number of Grade I and II* buildings and structural monuments at risk on the East Midlands register has fallen from 161 to 147. In the past year, however, there has been a significant net increase in the number of entries on the regional register. Ten buildings at risk have been added, three of which are in the highest priority category for action; at immediate risk of loss and have no solution agreed.With two exceptions, no solution is yet in place for any of the new entries. Five buildings on last year’s regional register have also been upgraded in their level of risk.This year, for the first time, the East Midlands register includes one registered battlefield at risk. Only three buildings at risk have been removed from the register, although ten have seen an improvement in condition.The first phase of repairs to the Grade I listed Apethorpe Hall, Northamptonshire is now complete and the estate has been offered for sale. Some of the Region’s entries are among the most intractable cases on the register.

  • QCG Newsletter November 2020 Page 1 of 6 Quarndon Community Group November 2020 Newsletter
    Quarndon Community Group November 2020 Newsletter Some highlights In this second Covid-19 lockdown there’s little happening in the village with the Village Hall and Church closed. It’s not entirely quiet because the Curzon School and Pre-school Group are still very active. Also we have Christmas coming up; lights have been appearing around the village to cheer us all up. See ‘Christmas Events’ for planned events in December. See the inspiring and true story of Nanny Fowkes. Finally, ensure that your computers and other equipment are secure when online shopping or working from home. See the ‘Safe Online’ section below. Remembrance Many thanks to those of you who put the poppies up in their gardens and for contributions you have made to the Royal British Legion (RBL). There were 83 poppies spread around the village, which is pretty impressive. It was rather a rush for the Parish Council to get the poppies ready and distributed in time, but it’s been a great success. I would like to thank the resident (who wishes to remain anonymous) for their generosity in providing the poppies for the residents of Quarndon. There has been lots of feedback from people expressing their appreciation and asking for their thanks to be passed on. It was particularly important this year that the Parish should made an effort for Remembrance. The Royal British Legion says: “With thousands of poppy collectors unable to sell poppies locally and many fundraising events cancelled, we are relying on the British public to give as generously as possible this year, because every poppy counts”.
