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. Volume II. Dale Abbey Boulton Brailsford Duffield Stanton-by-Dale Hezthalias Lownd Volume III. Stanley or Lund Duffield Spondon Breaston Church Broughton Mellor Kirk Ireton Sandiacre Hault Hucknall Volume IV. Risley Mackworth Derby— St. Alkmund's Ockbrook Allestree Quarndon Tickenhall Foremark It has not been thought needful to print the entries — verbatim. They are reduced to a common form and the following contractions have been freely used : w.=widower or widow. p.=of the parish of. s.=spinster, single woman, or co.=in the county of. son of. b.=bachelor or single man. dioc.=in the diocese of. d.=daughter of. //'c.=marriage licence. All these extracts have been made by Mr. LI. LI. Simpson. Thanks are due to the parish clergy for per- mission to print these extracts. It may be well to remind the reader that these printed abstracts of the registers are not legal "evidence." For certificates application must be made to the local clergy. The Editors will gladly welcome help in the work of transcribing the registers. It is only by volunteer assistance that it becomes feasible to issue this series of parish registers. W.P.W.P. Ll.Ll.S. 124, Chancery Lane, June, 1908. ©erbpsbire parish IRegisters. Marriages at St, Alkmund's, Derby, 1538 to 1812. Note.—Vol. I. This is one of the most interesting of the Derby Registers ; as well for the excellent condition in which it is found to be from end to end as for the beauty of the caligraphy and the orderly arrangement, of which the earliest part is especially notable. It has been rebound and recut at edges, consequently here and there some of the writing has been clipped. It contains 166 pages of vellum of varying quality. In size, it is 6J by 17 inches. From the commencement until the 22 Sept. 1612, it is in Latin ; after that in English. On the first page sundry parish clerks have written their names and dates of their going into office. There are also three inscriptions of some length ; which have been so industriously scribbled over as to be indecipherable. One at the bottom of the page remains, and is interesting now. " In the year of our Lord, 1538, in the 30th year of the Reign of K. Henry 8th, in the month of September, Thomas Cromwell, Lord privy seal, Vicegerent to the King's Highness, sent his Injunction to the Bishops and Curats through the Realme, charging them to see that in every Parish Church the Bible of the Largest volume printed in English shruld be placed for all men to read on. And that a book of Register should be also provided and kept in every Psh Church, wherein should be written every Wedding, Christening, and Burying within the same Pish : for ever, in obedience . [part of last line clipped away] . that book was ." provided— 9 Nov. 15 . On the second page a neatly written copy of the : " Capitalum siue Constitutio Ecclesiastica, per Archiepis copum Episcopos et reliquum clceri et de Registris in Ecclesijs saluse custodias— comittendis." This is followed by the document which ends thus : " Descriptum erat hoc registerum, per Thomam Swetnamum ministrum hujus Eclesiae sancti Alkmundi, Derbia, iuxta vetus exemp- lar- : Elia Bradshawe, et Roberto Sleigh, guardianis, Ano. Di., 1598. Sit Deo gloria, Laus, et honor, Amen." On the margin above this is written: "Ano. Di., 1597, Oct. 15, Ao. Regni Elizabeth, 39." At the head of the third page there is a well executed title in Church text ornamented by the usual elaborate network— flourishes of the period and a large rose. It reads as follows : " Liber memorialis Derbyshire—IV, b Derbyshire Parish Registers. siue registerium continens omnia nomina et cognomina conjugatorum baptizatorum et sepultorum in parochia Sancti Alkmundi, Derbia, a nono die Novemb., Anno Dni., millessimo quingentessimo tricessimo octavo ad finem huius libri et sequitur." The Register begins with a marriage 3 Dec. 1538, which was the date of the old book from which the first part of the present book was copied in the 39th Elizabeth (1597), Births, Marriages, and Deaths being mixed. There are a number of records of curious events interspersed through the book, very interesting, but too long to be quoted in these notes. The Triennial Visitations are regularly noted, the changes of the curates, remarks on the characters and ages of some of the departed, singular births, copies of dispensations for eating flesh- meats instead of fish, in 9th year of Charles I., of these there are three. Also the deaths of the reigning sovereigns are recorded, with the exception of the murder of King Charles I., and the pages put into mourning for them. The risitation of the Plague, " Hie incipit pestis pestifera." The names are written in red ink from its commencement on 2 Feb., 1592, until it ceased on the 4th Oct. of that year, 91 persons dying of it. The Plague returned in 1637, when nine persons died of it. Richard Boothouse records the follow- ing : Isaac Solden, clerke, came to Derby on Saturday, the 14th day of August, Ano. Dni., 1658, and by mutual consent was elected and chosen Minister of the Parish Churches of St. Alkmund's and St. Michael's in Derby. Then there are seven lines of cipher, and as there is no code, what it means remains a mystery. There are numerous other odd things, but they are scarcely suitable for this volume. Vol. II. This volume is very similar to the last. It contains 212 pages of vellum, the last three pages being blank with the exception of two entries. The size is 17 ins. by 7£ ins., and the binding, full smooth dark brown calf, is rather dilapidated. The entries are mixed, and the register is well kept. The Marriages are entered to the end of the volume (Dec, 1797), although the usual Marriage Register was commenced in 1754, from which all extracts are made from that date. Vol. III. This has evidently been two registes bound together, the cover is of thick boards backed with a piece of rough brown calf and the sides covered with marble paper. The first part of the register is the usual printed marriage form on parchment, size 15 ins. by 9£ ins., containing 48 pages, and 195 entries, three being on the end paper page. The second part is of plain parchment and the certificates are all in writing. The size of this is I3§ ins. by 9 ins., and contains 102 pages (the first two being blank) and 326 entries. The writing throughout is fairly good, but many of the pages are much stained. Vols. IV., V., and VI. These registers are uniformly of the same size, 13 ins. by 9 ins., and binding full brown rough calf. The certificates are all written on vellum, and not on the usual I I -5/. AlkmntuVs Marriages. 55 ] 3 printed form. The writing throughout is moderately good, though faint in places where the vellum is discoloured. Vol. IV. contains certificates, 120 pages with 362 certificates ; V. 118 pages and 471 VI. 130 pages (only 49 used), with 164 certificates to end of 1812, and a further 22 for 1813. These Marriages are extracted by Messrs. L. Lloyd Simpson and George Bailey, assisted by Mr. Ernest B. Smith, of Derby, and are printed by permission of the Rev. A. E. Hunt, M.A., vicar of St. Alkmund's, Derby. Volume I.

  • Researched by Elizabeth Kay and Liz Priestley
    Researched by Elizabeth Kay and Liz Priestley Introduction In 2005-2006 members of the Village Improvement Committee, a sub-committee of Spondon Community Association transformed the disused cemetery in Chapel Street, Spondon into a sensory garden. The sensory garden was officially opened on Saturday 17th June 2006 by the Mayor of the City of Derby, Councillor John Ahern. It won a Derby in Bloom award shortly after opening. The cemetery The burials in the cemetery are dated between c. 1840-1890. The need for a new burial space had arisen because the clergy, had over time, acquired some of St Werburgh’s Churchyard as part of the Vicarage walled garden. In 1839, after heated debates about this matter, the patron of the living, Rob Holden Esq, offered parishioners a piece of land (twice the amount), adjoining the new School Room, if they relinquished all claims to the Vicarage garden. St Werburgh’s old school, built in 1839, can be seen on the left-hand side of the cemetery. The cost of building the school was £700 and accommodated 220 pupils, who paid two pence a week to attend. It was enlarged in 1880 and could accommodate up to 550 children. In 1969 a new school was built just across the road. A notice in the Derby Mercury 31 May 1848… Thomas Dimock (deceased). For sale by auction two newly-erected dwelling houses with stables and out buildings situated at Stoney Cross by the side of the turnpike between Spondon and Borrowash. These properties were let to Mrs Land and William Locker.

  • 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.

Squirrels are storing acorns, small mammals are searching out hibernation habitats and volunteers are pulling on extra layers as we continue to manage the site. The hazel groves are being coppiced to allow new growth in the spring, crowded trees are being thinned and saplings are being given space to grow by removing vegetation. We have had spectacular success this year in developing our pond and marsh areas, filled naturally through rainfall and ‘run-off’ and they look as though they’ve been there for ever. Aquatic life is burgeoning and we hope that the wild flower seeds planted around the perimeter and in the grasslands will survive the season and start to bloom next Spring. We’re also giving three enthusiastic young people the opportunity to undertake important conservation work as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. Over three months they’ll be creating a new woodland ‘ride’, closed to people but opening up a wildlife corridor for flora and fauna.

  • Consultation Statement
    DERBYSHIRE DALES DISTRICT COUNCIL Consultation Statement The Shopfronts and Commercial Properties Design Guidance Supplementary Planning Document Consultation Proposed Revisions to ‘Paint Colours’ This statement has been prepared in order to comply with Regulation 17 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004 (as amended 2008 & 2009), for the adoption of Supplementary Planning Documents by Local Planning Authorities Director of Planning and Housing Services Paul Wilson MCD, Dip TP, Dip Mgmt, MRTPI, MIMgt Derbyshire Dales District Council Town Hall Matlock Derbyshire DE4 3NN Tel: 01629 761100 Email : [email protected] Preamble Design guidance in the existing Shopfront and Commercial Properties SPD, specifically that relating to ‘Paint Colours’ on pages 16 and 17, was intended to ensure that the colours used on individual properties reflected the historic period from which the property originated. More recently this guidance has been reviewed in the light of architectural paint research undertaken by English Heritage, and other heritage paint manufacturers, including Little Greene (English Heritage), Dulux (Heritage range), and Farrow and Ball with reference also made to the paint ranges set out in the British Standards. This research has identified that many shop fronts from the period 1780 to 1840 (Georgian/Regency) were painted in lighter, more neutral ‘stone’ coloured shades including greys, creams, beige/fawn along with imitation wood, and shades of brown and green. Shop fronts from the period 1840 to 1920 (Victorian/Edwardian) generally used darker, richer colours including blues, greens, reds and black. However the neutral shades of grey, beige/fawn and dark cream from the previous era may also have been used.
