LOCATION A more peaceful and pleasant spot than Dale Abbey is hard to find in the whole of Derbyshire. Yet it is less than 3 miles away from Derby City Centre. The story of Dale Abbey, or Depedale as it was originally known, begins when a Derby baker had a dream that the Virgin Mary appeared and told him to go to Depedale, to live a life of solitude and prayer. At that time it was a wild and marshy place and the hermit carved out a home and chapel in sandstone cliff. Here he continued to worship in solitude until one day the smoke from his fire was seen by a knight, the owner of the land. Intending to drive the intruder away, he rode over, but on hearing the hermit’s story he was filled with compassion, allowing him to remain and bestowing on him the money from the Borrowash Mill. This enabled the hermit to build a small Chapel and home on the site of the present church. After the hermits death, word spread of the religious significance of the place following several attempts, Dale Abbey was founded in about 1200 by an order known as the White Canons because of the colour of their habits. The abbey remained until 1538, when it was dissolved and the greater part demolished by the command of Henry VIII.

ILon&on Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., 124, Chancery Lane. 1908. — PREFACE. 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.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

Opposite stand buildings of inferior architectural quality but they, and the land on which they stand, are of far greater importance to the history of Derby. It was here that the oratory and priory cell of St Helen's was founded cl 137 and it was fiom here that the Augustinian monks founded their new monastery at Darley Abbey and where they settled a few years later. St Helen's was then refounded as a hospital. After its closure in 1538, as part of the Dissolution of Darley Abbey, the buildings and precinct ofSt Helen's were sold into private hands.

Until fairly recently some of the streets in Codnor were part of the Ripley Town Council area due to the very old boundary line and indeed paid their Council Tax or equivalent at their precept rather than Codnor’s rate. This anomaly was put right when the top parts of Mill Lane, Holborn View, Thomson Walk and Springhill Way became part of the Codnor Parish. The next change came at Borough Council level in 2000 when all of the Codnor Parish was included with Waingroves to make a two member ward which has been the case since. At least these changes could be seen to be linked to the two communities rather than the proposals in this review which appear to be totally part of a way to achieve the number required for each electoral division.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Beauchief in Sheffield is a beautiful hillside at the foot of which, near the river Sheaf, and on the still wooded south-western fringes of the city, are the remains of the medieval abbey that housed, from the late twelfth century until the Henrician Reformation, Augustinian canons belonging to the Premonstratensian order. Augustinian canonries were generally modest places, although for reasons that have been persuasively advanced by the late Sir Richard Southern, this fact should never obscure the breadth of their significance in the wider history of medieval urban and rural localities: The Augustinian canons, indeed, as a whole, lacked every mark of greatness. They were neither very rich, nor very learned, nor very religious, nor very influential: but as a phenomenon they are very important. They filled a very big gap in the biological sequence of medieval religious houses. Like the ragwort which adheres so tenaciously to the stone walls of Oxford, or the sparrows of the English towns, they were not a handsome species. They needed the proximity of human habitation, and they throve on the contact which repelled more delicate organisms. They throve equally in the near-neighbourhood of a town or a castle. For the well-to-do townsfolk they could provide the amenity of burial-places, memorials and masses for the dead, and schools and confessors of superior standing for the living. For the lords of castles they could provide a staff for the chapel and clerks for the needs of administration. They were ubiquitously useful. They could live on comparatively little, yet expand into affluence without disgrace.
