  • 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.

  • Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site Every Autumn - This Year Between 26Th October and 3Rd November
    DerwentThe Valley The Valley that changed the World DISCOVERY DAYS 2013 26th October to 3rd November 9 days of events & activities 1 There’s so much to see and enjoy during the Discovery Days Festival held in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site every autumn - this year between 26th October and 3rd November. Experience a charming blend of breathtaking natural scenery, fascinating industrial heritage and pure spectacle and fun in the Derwent Valley. Designated as a World Heritage Site in 2001, the Derwent Valley Mills have been described as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. It was here in the Derwent Valley that the essential ingredients of factory production were successfully combined. Water power was applied and successfully used for the first time on a relatively large scale. Not only was textile production revolutionised with dramatic consequences for the British economy, the Arkwright model also informed and inspired developments in other industries. Each mill has its own story to tell. Theirs is the story of pioneering engineers and entrepreneurs who put Britain on the map and set off a chain of events which ushered in the Industrial Revolution. The mills and the industrial settlements around them, the churches, millponds, weirs and watercourses provide the perfect backdrop for a week full of discovery. Booking: To ensure a place at events please pre-book on 01629 536831 - 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday (unless otherwise stated) Or Email: [email protected] Some activities within this booklet need to be booked directly with the organisers and the booking information is given within that specific listing.

  • Dean of Derby Briefing Pack
    Dean of Derby Candidate Briefing Pack October 2019 CONTENTS Foreword from the Bishop of Derby .................................................................................................... 3 Dean of Derby Role Profile ..................................................................................................................... 4 Context ........................................................................................................................................................ 7 Additional Information............................................................................................................................ 11 Foreword from the Bishop of Derby I am hoping to appoint a Dean with imagination, drive and energy to lead the Cathedral forward in its mission and ministry as we enter a new decade, and a new phase of life across the diocese. The next Dean of Derby will be committed to the nurture of the Cathedral community in faith, witness and service, growing its current congregations, and discovering ways to reach new and more diverse people. The Dean will continue to be creative about growing the influence and reach of the cathedral as a key partner in the city and region. They will be able to oversee the development of buildings to be fit for purpose and lead the strengthening of the Cathedral’s financial and governance resilience. I am aware that the Cathedral requires stability and continuity (the number of Deans in the past decade or so leaves the Cathedral feeling somewhat vulnerable) but partnered with creativity and challenge. There is much that is good and strong, and the potential is considerable. The Diocese of Derby, too, is in transition, facing considerable challenge and exciting opportunity. The Dean will be a partner in that wider vision setting and strategic planning for the whole diocese. The new Dean, therefore, will have a wide perspective and a long view, and be able to expand horizons and raise expectations for the Cathedral, city and diocese.

  • Derby Cathedral Is an Eclectic Mix of the Ancient and the New
    Treasures of Britain Simple but elegant, the Altar with the Retro Choir behind that was added in the 1960s UPGRADED FROM parish church to become one of Britain’s newest cathedrals, All Saints’, Derby, has a long and intriguing history gUoing back more than 1000 years. Bonnie Prince Charlie prayed here and ordered the bells rung but, with London unprotected and at his mercy, opted to turn back to Scotland the next day. Bess of Hardwick, one of the most colourful characters of Tudor England, is buried here. Georgina Duchess of Devonshire, an equally colourful 18th century character, also rests in the same Cavendish family vault. Derby Cathedral is an eclectic mix of the ancient and the new. Its tower has stood for 500 years while the rest of the church has been rebuilt and modified around it, then extended in the Seventies for its role as a cathedral. Joseph Wright, the 18th century Derby artist famous for his portraits and his portrayal of the Industrial Revolution and the technology of the time, is commemorated here. What a contrast between Wright’s detailed, almost photographic realism and the striking blue and yellow abstract design of the two stained glass windows created by the 20th century Welsh artist Ceri Richards. Both artists, however, are masters of light. Ancient Richards’s mastery is there for everyone who enters to see. The windows on either side of the altar are the only coloured glass in the cathedral. Installed in 1965, they are very much of the Sixties but still work perfectly with the traditional interior.
