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. -

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.

The Parish Church of St. Philip, Chaddesden a Celebration of Forty Years of Parish Life 1955 - 1995 by Anne Sherwood and Roy Farthing
The Parish Church of St. Philip, Chaddesden A Celebration of Forty Years of Parish Life 1955 - 1995 by Anne Sherwood and Roy Farthing A New Parish During the dark days of the Second World War Britain's energies were focussed upon survival. However, as the war came to an end and daily life recovered a sense of normality people became increasingly optimistic about the future. As a response to the optimism and to fulfil the needs of ordinary people for solid security Britain began to build houses. The late 40s and early 50s saw the dawning of the housing estate age. Councils up and down the country encouraged the building of homes to reflect and to promote security and prosperity. Derby, like other Midland towns and cities, began to set aside large tracts of land for the building of homes and the establishment of whole new communities. These houses were not the austere terraced homes built by the Victorians to satisfy the needs of a rapidly expanding labour market with scant regard paid to the needs and comfort of the occupiers. Most of the houses built during the late 1940s were semi-detached homes with their own gardens front and back and were get on networks of streets and avenues. It was during this period that plans were made to extend the housing built during the previous - decade along Max Road and its surrounding area. The new housing around Taddington Road was planned to consist of low-cost homes suitable for families. Perched on high ground overlooking the town, the area was given character and identity by naming the streets after Peak District villages and towns and demarcating the property boundaries with low stone walls reminiscent of the dry stone walls of the Peak District. -
Nottingham-Derby Green Belt Review
Nottingham-Derby Green Belt Review Lynette Hughes Nottinghamshire County Council and Steve Buffery Derbyshire County Council 24 August 2006 This is an information and discussion paper. It is the work of officers and has not been formally considered by any authority. It therefore does not represent the views of any authority or other body. Comments on the paper are welcome and can be forwarded to [email protected] or [email protected]. Executive Summary Page 1 of 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The review comprises: 1. The working paper drafted in March 2006 and finalised in April 2006 2. The assessment paper drafted in July 2006 and finalised in August 2006 3. The implications paper produced in August 2006 The review is the work of officers and has not been formally considered by any authority. The findings of the review have been considered in the formulation of the draft 3 Cities SRS and the draft Northern SRS which will form part of the Regional Plan to be published on 28 September 2006 and tested at a public examination in 2007. A project plan produced and agreed in December 2005 and added to in April 2006 have guided the review work. The review has started from the point that the principle of the green belt is well established and will remain. However, the review is related to the needs of development in the areas where there is green belt at present. General areas for possible extensions to the green belt have also been considered. The government's sustainable communities plan requires that the current area of green belt land within each region should be maintained or increased. -
Rural Discontent in Derbyshire 1830·1850
RURAL DISCONTENT IN DERBYSHIRE 1830·1850 Alan Frank Jones Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Sheffield January 2004 ii Alan Frank Jones RURAL DISCONTENT IN DERBYSlllRE 1830-1850 ABSTRACT Social protest, especially in agricultural regions, has occupie~ and caused considerable debate among, historians for many years. This thesis seeks to add to this debate, by looking at various forms of protest in Derbyshire between 1830 and 1850. This thesis examines three aspects of criminal activity: poaching, arson and animal maiming. It contends that none of these crimes can simply be categorised as acts of protest. In conjunction with an investigation of these three crimes, acts of protest such as strikes and episodes of reluctance to conform are also discussed. It argues that the motives behind various criminal activities and anti-authority behaviour were varied and complex. Arson and animal maiming were rarely co-ordinated, mostly they were individual attacks. However, on a few occasions both arson and animal maiming were directed against certain people. In the instances of poaching, there were more proven cases of gang participation than in either arson or animal maiming, with groups of men raiding game preserves. However, the great majority of raids were individual undertakings. What is more, poaching was carried out on a greater scale throughout the county than either arson or animal maiming. This thesis seeks to put these activities into the context of economic and social change in Derbyshire between 1830 and 1850. It maintains that there was a breaking down of the old social order. -
