  • The 1717 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge. Is It Missing?
    The 1717 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge. Is it missing? Ann Hall with valuable assistance from Alan Jones Introduction When Alison Stuart was preparing to move out of her family home at Christmas Cottage in Little Longstone shortly after Michael's death in 2012, she asked Hillary Clarke and I to help with finding the most appropriate home for papers that he had collected during his historical research. As we worked through a lifetime's work on many topics of local interest we came upon a photocopy of a guide stoop. Hilary recognised it as the one from Longstone Edge and I became interested to find out more. This article is the result of my investigations. Some of my chief sources of information were from books which describe rambles through Derbyshire in a rather romantic manner in the first half of the nineteenth century. They were not intended to be full scientific records of features along the way but rather a description of interesting walks and fascinating items along the route. The record in the books is not always reliable but I have tried to extract as much sound information as I can. There are records of a guide stoop, dated 1717, on Longstone Edge since 1905. Some of the earlier information is quite detailed and this suggests that it really was in existence at Page 2 of 5 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge the time of the recording. In more recent reports it is listed as missing. My recent research intended to find out if it really is lost for ever.

    The Cressbrook Dale Lava and Litton Tuff, between Longstone and Hucklow Edges, Derbyshire John Hunter and Richard Shaw Abstract: With only a small exposure near the head of its eponymous dale, the Cressbrook Dale Lava is the least exposed of the major lava flows interbedded within the Carboniferous platform- carbonate succession of the Derbyshire Peak District. It underlies a large area of the limestone plateau between Longstone Edge and the Eyam and Hucklow edges. The recent closure of all of the quarries and underground mines in this area provided a stimulus to locate and compile the existing subsurface information relating to the lava-field and, supplemented by airborne geophysical survey results, to use these data to interpret the buried volcanic landscape. The same sub-surface data-set is used to interpret the spatial distribution of the overlying Litton Tuff. Within the regional north-south crustal extension that survey indicate that the outcrops of igneous rocks in affected central and northern Britain on the north side the White Peak are only part of a much larger volcanic of the Wales-Brabant High during the early part of the field, most of which is concealed at depth beneath Carboniferous, a province of subsiding platforms, tilt- Millstone Grit and Coal Measures farther east. Because blocks and half-grabens developed beneath a shallow no large volcano structures have been discovered so continental sea.

The well arranged gardens attached, give an additional charm to this interesting village of rural beauty; every thing tends to show his Grace’s taste, good feeling, and liberal disposition towards those in humble circumstances. The township contains 2255A. 3R. 25P. of land, and in 1851 had 60 houses and 346 inhabitants, of whom 160 were males and 186 females; rateable value £2598 2s. 6d. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire is sole owner. The Church, dedicated to St. Peter, is situated in the centre of the village on elevated ground, and is approached by a flight of steps. It is a venerable stone edifice, with nave, chancel. side aisles, and square tower containing 4 bells. It was given at an early period by Fulcher, ancestor of the Shirleys, to the monastery of Rochester, in Staffordshire. In the chancel is a very elegant monument to the first Earl of Devonshire, which is composed of several figures the size of life sculptured in relief, and of the most elaborate workmanship. A table monument has two recumbent figures, one clothed in the dress of the times, the other representing a skeleton. “ There is something,” says Mr. Rhodes, “strikingly impressive in this representation of a man who appears to have just passed from time into eternity, with all the habiliments of life about him, and the bare ribbed image of Death, which lies at his side, awfully intimating the transition that must soon be made. The sculptor has here bodied forth a lesson of mortality which is extremely simple, yet full of pathos and instruction.” The following is a monumental inscription to Henry, son of Wm.

His photo is of a Spring Starflower or Springstar , part of the onion and amyrillis family. The flowers are honey scented, which is no doubt what attracted the ant. Alfie is a keen photographer with his own Olympus DSLR camera, and this scene caught his eye under a large yew tree at the bottom of Church Lane. His creativity is not limited just to photography: Alfie loves cats and in Year 5 he and a friend made a comic called Cat Man! A total of 39 people took part in our photographic competition this year and we hope you had fun and found it an interesting challenge. We have all had to adapt our ways of doing things over the last year and transferring this competition to an online format, though different, has been a great success. Now that we are beginning to open up and get back to our normal lives, maybe this is the blueprint for the future of the competition? 39 people submitted a total of 124 photographs across the four categories, with nearly 100 taking part in voting for their favourite entry. Everyone who entered will be sent a feedback form: please fill it in withJane any Littlefieldsuggestions for the future.
