Their ancestors were in Somerset from the mid-15th century and have been admirably described in a piece by Warren Skidmore, The Skydmore Family Of Chewton Mendip, Somerset, and Eyam, Derbyshire, 20072. I have attempted here to pick up the family after its move to Derbyshire and describe descendants down to the beginning of the 20th century. Thomas Skydmore, born around 1565, was the first of his name at Chewton Mendip, a son of Robert Skydmore of Dunkerton - both places in Somerset. Two of Thomas' sons, baptised at Chewton Mendip - Arthur in 1593 and Simon in 1600 - were probably the first Skidmores in Derbyshire where they became lead miners in the parish of Eyam. Lead was then mined in two main areas of England, around Chewton Mendip in Somerset and Eyam in Derbyshire. The miners in Somerset had devised a superior method of smelting lead with a fixed ore hearth on the ground. This greatly improved productivity and profits for the owners, and an increasing number of Somerset migrants, Arthur and Simon Skidmore among them, took the new process up to Derbyshire and did not return to Somerset. The small village of Eyam is located in relative isolation deep in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District, surrounded by a rugged landscape of limestone hills and dales. The parish church lies in the village and is dedicated to St Lawrence. Its parish registers survive from 1630 - unfortunately about 30 years after the first Skidmores arrived there. The 2006 transcript of these registers published on CD by Valerie Neal has been used for the purposes of this account (as have those for the parishes of Hope, Tideswell, Great Longstone and Stoney Middleton). Richard Skidmore, the brother of Arthur and Simon, also had lead mining interests but was primarily a yeoman of Taddington parish in Derbyshire. 1 A numerical analysis of the 1861 British census can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com. 2 This can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com. 2 Skidmore Lead Miners of Derbyshire & their descendants 1600-1915 Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study 2015 www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com [email protected] For the family historian, an understanding of the parishes in the area is useful. The High Peak Hundred of Derbyshire included only 11 ancient parishes, but some were very large and contained numerous townships. Bakewell, All Saints. A CD prepared by Valerie Neal, containing a transcription of the parish registers of All Saints Church, which survive from 1642, has been used here, together with the Bishop's Transcripts to 1812 (kindly studied by Mrs Velma Skidmore). A baptism or burial at Bakewell did not necessarily mean that the family lived in Bakewell village. The extensive parish of Bakewell comprised: the township of Bakewell itself; the townships of Blackwall, Brushfield, Calver, Curbar, Flagg, Froggatt, Over and Nether-Haddon, Harthill, Hassop, Little Longstone, Rowland, Great Rowsley, and part of Wardlow; besides the parochial chapelries of Ashford, Baslow, Beeley, Buxton, Chelmorton, Great Longstone (CD transcript used), Monyash, Sheldon and Taddington.

EYAM [From: History of Derbyshire by David Peter Davies, 1811] HOPE [From: History of Derbyshire by David Peter Davies, 1811] 'A small village and parish, containing about 110 houses and 930 A small village, ... situated on the banks of the Derwent' ...

[Note: although Davies does not list them, the following townships were in the parish of Hope: Abney, Aston, Fernilee, Highlow, Great Hucklow, Little Hucklow, Offerton, Shatton, Stoke, Thornhill, Thornton.] WARDLOW split between the parish of HOPE and the parish of LONGSTONE. BAKEWELL [From: History of Derbyshire by David Peter Davies, 1811] Wardlow is a surprising place. In early days, when there was no church here, the village suffered the affliction of being part of 'The most extensive parish in Derbyshire. ... It contains 9 chapelries and several two parishes. The main street marked the boundary between large hamlets, containing altogether about 1200 houses'. Longstone parish and Hope, and one side of the village was The 9 chapelries were: therefore in Hope parish, and the other in Longstone (or more Ashford 130 houses, 600 in habitants, cotton spinning, agriculture, usually in the records, Bakewell).

Baslow 130 houses, hamlets of Bubnal, Froggat and Curbar.

He recorded the whole of the village Hassop together on the census returns, but then had to cross it all out Monyash 55 houses and start again, recording the same households again, in two Taddington 70 houses separate lists, one for 'Wardlow in the Parish of Hope', and the [description of Taddington from the 1857 trade other for 'Wardlow in the Parish of Bakewell'.

  • Bolsover North East Derbyshire Leader
    BOLSOVER NORTH EAST DERBYSHIRE LEADER PROGRAMME EVALUATION FEBRUARY 2014 Foreword The past few years have not been easy for our local rural communities and businesses. Government cuts and the economic downturn have led to reduced services and difficulties in accessing much needed finance which has resulted in restricted growth for this area. The £2.4m which the Bolsover North East Derbyshire LEADER Programme has delivered since 2008 into the economies of both Council areas, has played a major part in supporting business, encouraging visitors and creating much needed new jobs. As Chair of the Local Action Group, I have seen projects develop from the first expression of interest through to the finished article, be that a new piece of equipment, a new business or even a new hotel. All of the LEADER funded projects, from the smallest to the biggest, have contributed to the enhancement of the area and to the growth of the local economy. This evaluation document explains what the BNED LEADER Programme has achieved and the rationale for doing what it has. I hope you find the document both informative and interesting. We are now looking forward to submitting a bid for more funding in the next Rural Development Programme which is due to start in 2015 and will run until 2020. By talking with and listening to local people and businesses, we hope to deliver as much, if not more in the next programme to improve our area and communities.

  • 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.
