  • 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.

    Flower Lillies Windley Lane | Belper | Derbyshire | DE56 2LQ Land at Flower Lillies.indd 1 20/11/2019 09:54 SELLER INSIGHT Behind the delicate ‘Flower Lillies’ name lies a project of exceptional proportions, a vision for a truly outstanding, contemporary and ground-breaking forever home. Located six miles north of Derby on the edge of the small village of Windley set within a private plot, this yet to be completed home is now out of the ground with the vision coming into view. Rurally located on the site of an old saw mill, the building will be an upside-down house designed to blend in into the countryside setting and will feature curved external retaining walls, a curved green roof with wildflower covering and landscaped gardens. The plot enjoys 360-degree panoramic views and offers the chance of an idyllic lifestyle alongside state-of-the-art design, including a floating staircase, cinema/ media room and gymnasium with sauna and changing rooms. With privacy, luxury and space in abundance, this will be a unique home to entertain in or retreat to. ‘This is an innovative and contemporary home of truly outstanding and ground-breaking design located in an elevated yet secluded position with stunning rural views – it will no doubt attract a discerning buyer,’ say the owners. ‘The up-side-down house design involves a grand entrance hall with floating staircase leading to an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area with a curved roof and full height curtain wall openings –the design is breath-taking! The upper floor benefits from a wrap-around terrace which incredible views of the surrounding countryside – this will be the most amazing place, coffee in hand, to start the day.’ ‘The location is excellent, with the Peak District National Park and all its outdoor activities in one direction and Derby – the UK’s most central city – in the other.

JO V' 10 Hontion Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., Ltd., 124, Chancery Lane. 1912. — PREFACE. The present volume, like the last, contains the Marriage Registers of one parish only, St. Werburgh, which, also like those of All Saints, cover exactly the same length of years, 1558 to 1837; comprise, at some periods, a large proportion of marriages from other parts of the county ; and are rich, after 1753, in having the general addition of the man's occu- pation or position. 1.37^9098 Mr. Llewellyn Lloyd Simpson is the editor responsible for the transcription and for passing the proofs through the press. The assistance of Mr. E. B. Smith, of Derby, in part of the labour of transcribing is also gratefully acknowledged. It is worthy of note that the Marriage Registers of all the five parishes comprised in the Borough of Derby are now printed, as well as those of the adjoining country parishes. The parishes composing the Borough of Derby, the periods comprised by their Registers, as printed, and the volumes of this series in which they are contained, are as follows : St. Alkmund VI. In all cases where the marriage is stated to have taken place by licence, that fact is recorded, as the searcher thereby knows that further information as to age, parentage, and vocation of the parties is probably recoverable from the Allega- tions in the Archdeaconry or other office from which the licence issued.

  • Area Profile: South West Parishes
    Area Profile: South West Parishes Key Characteristics Population: 2671 Density: 0.5 people /hectare Hectares: 5342 Number of Households: 1123 Spatial Outline The South West Parishes are eight rural villages in the south-western region of Amber Valley Borough. The area adjoins both the district of south Derbyshire and the City of Derby. It is approximately 5 miles northwest of Derby and 20 miles west of Nottingham. The transport link in the area is the A52, which provides a useful connection to other parts of the country. The South West Parishes is an area with attractive cultural spaces and biological assets, including the River Ecclesbourne and Mackworth Brook that run through its boundaries. However, economic activity in the area is restricted and below the Amber Valley average but its housing market contains good quality houses and has experienced fairly moderate growth over the past decade. Improving Places and Meeting Community Needs Local Area: Settlements in the South West Parishes cover 5,342 hectares of land to the south-western part of the Borough, which represents 19% of the total area of the Borough. Population: At the 2011 Census the population of the ward was 2,671. Density: The population density of the area is the lowest in the Borough, with 0.5 people / hectare, significantly lower than the Borough average of 4.6 people / hectare. Most of its population is concentrated in the village of Quarndon and to a lesser extent in the smaller villages / settlements of Kirk Langley, Mackworth, Weston Underwood and Turnditch. Ethnicity: The people living in South West Parishes are predominantly White (96.2%) with a small but diverse proportion of ethnic minorities residing in the area.

  • Duffield Parish Church History
    I In 1897 the Smith & Sons tower clock and chimes were presented to the church. These are maintained by the Parish Council as a service to the village and were converted to electric winding in 2002. The chancel windows are a fine example of the late 19th century work of C.E. Kempe. Those in the south wall show the story of the crucifixion – starting with the Garden of Gethsemane, the trial before Pilate and the Way of the Cross. The east window shows Christ crucified with John the Baptist and his mother Mary on his right and John the disciple whom he loved and Mary Magdalene on his left. In 1972 the organ was removed from the north vestry and a new instrument by Cousans was installed with pipework in front of the West window and the console at the front of the south aisle. There have been subsequent additions by Wood and by Johnson. In 1997 a re-ordering of the front of the nave took place. A dais was created in front of the chancel arch in a space made by removing the front rows of pews and later a further dais in the south aisle with a place for the music group. An oak Communion table by Matthew Morris has been given to the church and is used at the main communion services. In 1999 the dark and somewhat inconvenient Victorian entrance screen was rebuilt to a design of John Powrie-Smith in a simpler glazed form which transforms the west end of the church completely.
