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. The retirement of key people, headmaster, church warden farmers and vicar, in the 1920s and 1930s, weakened ties and put greater reliance on government provision. Relationships were further disrupted when entrepreneur Basil Mallender bought Barton Blount, in 1925, and tried to align Church Broughton with his estate and impose his authority, generally against the wishes of villagers, who were accustomed to a cooperative community. i Collecting oral contributions and letters from parishioners began in 1972 and was supplemented with documentary evidence from the church chest, Derby Local History Library and Derbyshire County archives. This research is unusual, following the earlier oral history method of George Ewart Evans and Raphael Samuel - open-ended interviews over time, with seventy contributors, that uncovered the feelings people had about their situation - but is also original, because small ‘open’ parishes have not attracted research in the same way as estate parishes. It revealed relationships that showed an ordered and tolerant community enjoying the social aspects of religion and willing to defend itself from Basil Mallender. However, progress in agriculture and greater intervention from government, meant that the experiences contributors described proved to be, in George Ewart Evans words, a ‘prior culture’ on the point of disappearing. ii Acknowledgements I am grateful for the patient assistance I have received from staff at De Montfort University, particularly my first supervisor Professor Robert Colls, for giving me the opportunity to begin this study and his encouragement and guidance throughout, my second supervisor Professor Matthew Taylor for his support and constructive criticism and Professor Martin Polley for wise advice. I acknowledge the help I have received from staff at the Derby Local Records Office and the Derbyshire County Records Office, who found relevant documents and offered their expertise. I am indebted to George Ewart Evans and Charles Underhill for their advice, without which I would not have undertaken this research. I remember the pleasure my oral contributors gave me, while recording their information and the enthusiasm they had for the project of saving their memories, which have proved so illuminating regarding their life experiences. My children have been a great support and inspiration and I thank them. iii Contents Abstract i Acknowledgements iii Contents iv Illustrations v Introduction 1 1. Place 21 2. Religion 72 3.

George Ewart Evans implored the audience to go out and record experiences of ‘the old prior culture’ before it was too late, as agriculture and rural life were changing rapidly and those who remembered earlier times were dying.1 It was a pioneering era for oral history. George Ewart Evans recorded life in Suffolk. Here was an opportunity to capture the dynamics of a Derbyshire parish community that was disappearing, and my experience had prepared me to undertake the task. Although I was a relative newcomer, unrelated to local families, over seven years I had become known and acknowledged as being interested in the history of the parish and its people. As a child, I was introduced to the idea of oral history, my grandfather having recorded and published Berkshire ballads in 1904. My father took me, aged about twelve, to visit my great- aunt, for her to tell me about her childhood, her mother’s family farm and her cordwainer father’s shoe shop in Reading. My father encouraged me to record her account in a notebook, a practise I continued when recording my children’s sayings and then small encounters in Church Broughton, after we moved there in 1965. I realised that exact wording was essential to gain the flavour of what was said, so I became good at listening and recalling precise words. Formally interviewing parishioners would simply be a more open and acknowledged recording. Church Broughton’s church chest was a treasure trove of old parish papers, somewhat mouse-eaten, which included the school log. I copied them for possible future use and wrote leaflets about the past to be sold for the church. I was becoming an archivist of not only the written but also spoken record. I joined the Derbyshire Archaeological Society and contributed a paper about the Cokes of 1 George Ewart Evans, Thea Thompson, Tony Green, Theo Barker and Patrick Saul, The Leicester Conference on the problems of Oral History, in ‘Oral History’, Vol. 1, No. 3 (1972), p. 12. Snell, K.D.M., Annals of the Labouring Poor, Social Change and Agrarian England 1660-1900, (Cambridge, 1985, 1995), p. 194. 1 Longford2. I wrote to Paul Thompson and he suggested I attend the conference at Leicester University, which was at the beginning of the Oral History Society and confirmed my interest in oral history. Regarding my situation in the parish, only three years after our arrival, David Prince’s death led to the need for a replacement District Councillor. Gordon Barnett, a businessman, was standing unopposed. I felt strongly there should be an election. After failing to persuade others to stand, I decided to oppose him myself as an independent, with the sole purpose of upholding democracy. I had posters printed and drew in as many people as possible, regardless of whether they would vote for me.

  • 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.

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.

Needwood & South Derbyshire Claylands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
