  • 1 Made in Derby 2018 Profile Bess of Hardwick
    Made in Derby 2018 Profile Bess of Hardwick Bess of Hardwick has been described as one of the richest women in England during Tudor times and a good friend of Queen Elizabeth I. She also had an obsession with building. This is borne out by the wording on her marble tomb effigy in Derby Cathedral - the parish church of All Saints in Bess’s lifetime - which describes her as the “aedificatrix’ (builder) of Chatsworth, Hardwick and Oldcotes. Both Hardwick Hall – old and new- Chatsworth House – still exist and stand as a testimony to both Bess’s wealth and her building fervour. Althougnothing remains of Oldcotes, which was built for her son William Cavendish. And although she spent much of her life marrying four times, having eight children and building grand houses in the north of the county, she also found opportunity to be in Derby. She had a town house built on the north side of the Market Place. This was a large brick Tudor house, which enabled Bess and her husband, Lord Shrewsbury, to attend functions in Derby and probably later became Newcastle House and large parts of this were not demolished until 1971. Earlier in 1599, Bess decided to found a charity in Derby to the rear of All Saints Church in Full Street. 1 It was called the Shrewsbury Hospital, later to become the Devonshire Hospital but more likely to resemble almshouses, to house eight poor men and four poor women, to be endowed with a rent-charge of £100 per annum. The lucky people were to be chosen from the parishes of All Saints’, St.

  • Appendix E Heritage Visitor Numbers
    HS2 Consultation Response Derbyshire County Council Appendix E Heritage Visitor Numbers 1.1 There are a number of highly significant heritage assets that form a tourism cluster in the north east of Derbyshire. Hardwick Hall, Bolsover, Bolsover Castle and Sutton Scarsdale Hall contribute to this cluster. The full potential of these assets as part of a tourism cluster has probably yet to be fully realised. 1.2 Details of the current and projected visitor numbers for Bolsover Castle and Hardwick Hall have been provided by English Heritage and the National Trust respectively. Bolsover Castle, English Heritage. 1.3 The key facts in relation to Bolsover Castle are as follows: 1.4 “Visitor numbers for the year 2012-13 were just under 68,000. This years projected figures for the period 2013-2014 are at over 75,000 and we are currently ahead of this target. In terms of income generated, this is forecast at around £630,000 in 2013-14 period. Separate to this, income generated from hospitality (including weddings) was worth around £80,000 in the last financial year.” 1.5 “English Heritage is currently undertaking significant investment into the site as part of a £1million project due for completion by Spring 2014. This includes: • repair works to the Little Castle - reinstatement of the French doors to the balconies and the addition of furnishings, as well as providing fancy dress items and props for young visitors; • repair works to the exterior of the Castle; • repair works to the high-level wall walk surrounding the Fountain Gardens which is to be re-instated and open for visitors for the first time in almost 400 years.” 1.6 “In addition, new exhibitions and interpretation is being developed” as well as “the addition of a children's play park in the grounds.” 1.7 “Through this significant investment, we hope to further increase visitor numbers to the property, thereby boosting the local tourism economy and providing a lasting contribution to the Castle's future.

    The Devonshire Collection Archives GB 2495 DF11 Papers of Elizabeth Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (1757-1824) ([1782] – c.1820) Catalogued by Louise Clarke; revised by Fran Baker, Chatsworth House Trust DF 11: Papers of Elizabeth Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (1757 - 1824) ([1782] – c.1820) Administrative/Biographical History: Elizabeth Christiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, society hostess and patron of the arts, was born Elizabeth Hervey in 1757 at Horringer, Suffolk. Her parents were Frederick Augustus Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol (1730-1803), and Elizabeth Davers (1730-1800). She was known for most her life as Lady Elizabeth Foster, Bess to her friends. She spent her formative years in semi-poverty abroad and in Ireland, where her father was the Bishop of Derry. In 1776, she married John Thomas Foster (b. 1747), with whom she had two sons, Frederick (b. 1777) and Augustus (b. 1780). The marriage was an unhappy one and the couple separated in 1780; Foster retained custody of their sons, and did not allow the boys to see their mother for 14 years. In 1782, while lodging with her aunt in Bath, she met William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire, and his wife Georgiana. After only a few weeks of acquaintance she moved in with them. There was much speculation about the nature of their relationship. Foster certainly became mistress of the 5th Duke, and the closest friend and confidante of Duchess Georgiana. In December 1784 she became pregnant with the Duke’s child. Using her health as a pretext, she went to Naples and gave birth in secret to Caroline Rosalie on 16 August 1785.

  • Domestic Servants Personal Lives
    Explore More Domestic Servants Personal Lives In their leisure time, domestic servants likely enjoyed the same hobbies and pleasures as people in other jobs during this era. Sewing, reading, playing musical instruments, chatting over tea, or having evening gatherings in their employer’s kitchen or servants’ hall were common diversions, and may have occurred here at Lucknow. A space like the servants' hall, set aside solely for the enjoyment and rest of the servants, would have been a luxury that existed in only the wealthiest homes. Though the servants’ hall was a spot to rest and have a meal, note that the intercom, telephone, and home alarm system were in this space so a servant’s break might be frequently interrupted. For many servants in the early 20th century, Sunday would have been a typical day off to attend church, a local festival, or perhaps go to the movies. Unfortunately, domestic service workers battled the social stigma attached to their job titles, a problem which had persisted for centuries. Service was considered by some to be a disgraceful and dishonorable profession. For the most part, its workers endured a low social status in American society. A group of domestic servants, probably early 1920s. MORE ON OTHER SIDE Explore More Domestic Servants Personal Lives We don’t know for sure what it was like to live and work at Lucknow as a domestic servant, but first person accounts from people in domestic service during this era, as well as historic documents and photographs, help illustrate the experience. By the twentieth century, domestic servants had more personal freedom than they had in previous eras.

    552 HIGH PEAK HUNDRED. greatest diversity of architectural proportions, no two being exactly alike.

The township contains 2255A. 3R. 25P. of land, and in 1851 had 60 houses and 346 inhabitants, of whom 160 were males and 186 females; rateable value £2598 2s. 6d. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire is sole owner. The Church, dedicated to St. Peter, is situated in the centre of the village on elevated ground, and is approached by a flight of steps. It is a venerable stone edifice, with nave, chancel. side aisles, and square tower containing 4 bells. It was given at an early period by Fulcher, ancestor of the Shirleys, to the monastery of Rochester, in Staffordshire. In the chancel is a very elegant monument to the first Earl of Devonshire, which is composed of several figures the size of life sculptured in relief, and of the most elaborate workmanship. A table monument has two recumbent figures, one clothed in the dress of the times, the other representing a skeleton. “ There is something,” says Mr. Rhodes, “strikingly impressive in this representation of a man who appears to have just passed from time into eternity, with all the habiliments of life about him, and the bare ribbed image of Death, which lies at his side, awfully intimating the transition that must soon be made. The sculptor has here bodied forth a lesson of mortality which is extremely simple, yet full of pathos and instruction.” The following is a monumental inscription to Henry, son of Wm.
