The author is pleased to be informed of errors and omissions, alternative interpretations of the early families, additional information for consideration for future updates. She can be contacted at [email protected] DATES Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.

The eastern parts are strongly influenced by settled areas to the east associated with the urban centres of Chesterfield and Sheffield. There is particular association with the historical coal mining and iron making industries of the settlements. The region has a distinctly undulating topography and contains the upper part of the River Dove. 2 Landscape Strategy and Action Plan Peak District National Park Authority 6: Derbyshire Peak Fringe pedunculate and sessile oaks along with a hybrid of the two.

Apologies for absence were received from Cllr Siobhan Spencer, PCSO Ian Phipps, Cllr Jason Atkins, Cllr Susan Hobson and Cllr Kath Potter 2. There were no Declaration of Members Interests and including for dispensations from members on matters in which they have a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest. 3. Public speaking: Nick Wood and Gavin Williams – Nick thanked the meeting for giving them the opportunity to talk informally about a plan to change the house opposite the pub, which has recently become vacant, to pub accommodation. With 17 let bedrooms the pub would be more sustainable. It is felt the cottage is not ideal for family accommodation as it is a high traffic area, people park in front of it and is opposite the pub. Nick understands it won’t be received positively by all but the Estate do try and look at the area and what it is best for each property they own. The Estate has 31 houses in Beeley of which 17 are let, 14 are staff or pensioners on full concession or affordable rents. The Estate owns Duke’s Barn, the Village Hall, Workshops (used currently for storage), the café and pub.

  • Know-How Wholesome HERITAGE Older Heritage Varieties of Apple Are Among the Very Tastiest
    Know-how Wholesome HERITAGE Older heritage varieties of apple are among the very tastiest. Penny Bunting tours the apple collection at Chatsworth and picks a few favourites to try at home pples are one of the UK’s favourite fruits, sitting at the top of the five-a-day list for many. But did you know that you could eat a different variety Aof British apple every day for a couple of years – and you still wouldn’t have tasted them all? Wander along the fruit aisle of any supermarket, though, and you’ll be lucky to spot more than five different types of apple. Granny Smiths, Braeburns and Gala are easy to come by, but if you tried asking for a traditional apple – ‘Ashmead’s Kernel’ or ‘Egremont Russet’, for example – you would likely be met with blank stares. It is estimated that around 70 per cent of our supermarket apples are imported, sometimes from as far afield as South Africa or New Zealand. One reason for this is that us Brits are just not producing as many apples as we used to. About two-thirds of our orchards have disappeared since 1950. This is bad news for the nation’s food security – and it has an impact on wildlife, too. Orchards are vital habitats that support a wide variety of wildlife.

  • Volume 1 from Servants to Staff: the Making of a Modern Estate
    Volume 1 From Servants to Staff: The Making of a Modern Estate Chatsworth 1908-1950 By: Fiona Clapperton A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts & Humanities School of English & Department of History This Work Was Supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (grant number AH/M007316/1) February 2019 2 Abstract Taking as its subject the estate of Chatsworth, in rural Derbyshire, this thesis addresses the question of how the history of the country estate can be understood, not from the perspective of a single social group, but in relation to the whole community who lived, worked and interacted within its boundaries. Structurally, the thesis is comprised of four thematically organised chapters. Each focuses upon a different subset of the estate community and draws upon different kinds of archival material. Each chapter also adopts a distinct methodological approach in response to the source material under scrutiny. In particular, the thesis pays attention to analytical tools developed within the field of historical pragmatics. I argue that this innovative, multi-methodological approach enables a holistic understanding of archival sources to emerge. The thesis finds that, while demographic mapping provides one level of insight, the information contained within letters and memoirs can be crucial for understanding the social norms and interpersonal relationships which made up the framework underpinning the estate community. In particular, it draws upon a variety of documents from the records of Chatsworth’s senior employees, who occupied an important mediatory role within the estate hierarchy.
