  • 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.

In addition to our forthcoming programme of lectures and visits, characterised as ever by their range, quality and diversity, two other aspects of our activities make this an important year for our Society. Firstly, I hope that by the time you are reading this our efforts to redesign and freshen the Society’s website will have come to fruition. It is intended to be more colourful, accessible and immediately informative. It will come as no great surprise that this has taken some considerable committee time over the past months, but particular thanks are owed to Paul Norris who has guided us through the technicalities of the issues concerned, and has taken the lead on this project, briefing and liaising with our contractor. However, we would welcome your feedback on what you think of our new site, especially as there will be opportunities in the future for adjustments if required.

In this pack you should find sufficient information to enable you to settle into the area, find out about the facilities on offer, and details of many of the clubs and societies. If specific information about your particular interest or need is not shown, then pop into the Town Hall Information Point and ask there. If they don't know the answer, they usually know someone who does! The Parish Council produces a quarterly Newsletter which is available from the Town Hall or the Post Office. Chapel is a small friendly town with a long history, in a beautiful location, almost surrounded by the Peak District National Park. It's about 800 feet above sea level, and its neighbour, Dove Holes, is about 1000 feet above, so while the weather can be sometimes wild, on good days its situation is magnificent. The Parish Council takes pride in maintaining the facilities it directly controls, and ensures that as far as possible, the other Councils who provide many of the local services - High Peak Borough Council (HPBC) and Derbyshire County Council (DCC) also serve the area well.

  • Chapter Eight: a Lost Way of Life – Farms in the Parish
    Chapter Eight: A lost way of life – farms in the parish Like everywhere else in England, the farms in Edingale parish have consolidated, with few of the post-inclosure farms remaining now as unified businesses. Of the 13 farms listed here post-inclosure, only three now operate as full-time agricultural businesses based in the parish (ignoring the complication of Pessall Farm). While for more than 200 years, these farms were far and away the major employers in the parish, full-time non-family workers now account for fewer than ten people. Where this trend will finally end is hard to predict. Farms in Oakley As previously mentioned, the historic township of Oakley was split between the Catton and Elford estates. In 1939, a bible was presented to Mrs Anson, of Catton Hall, from the tenants and staff of the estate, which lists Mansditch, Raddle, Pessall Pitts, The Crosses, Donkhill Pits and Oakley House farms among others. So the Catton influence on Oakley extended well into the twentieth century. Oakley House, Oakley The Croxall registers record that the Haseldine family lived at Oakley, which we can presume to be Oakley House. The last entry for this family is 1620 and the registers then show two generations of the Dakin family living there: Thomas Dakin who died in 1657, followed by his son, Robert . Thomas was listed as being churchwarden of Croxall in 1626 and in 1633. Three generations of the Booth family then lived at Oakley House. John Booth, born in 1710, had seven children. His son George (1753-1836 ) married Catherine and they had thirteen children, including Charles (1788-1844) who married Anna Maria.
