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. -

Church Broughton Parish, Derbyshire
Church Broughton Parish, Derbyshire: An oral history, 1900-1940 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Janet Arthur De Montfort University June 2019 Abstract This study is an oral history of a Derbyshire dairying parish during the first forty years of the twentieth century. The aim was to discover the nature and cohesion of society in a parish with no resident lord of the manor, the effects on the parish of changes in agricultural practice and the impact of government interventions on the lives of individuals. The lives of residents were affected by the history and layout of the parish, based on the geography and previous ownership. Having no resident lord of the manor generated a social structure with three layers: firstly, seven key people, outsiders who did not own land, secondly, networks of small landowners and artisans, who had lived there for generations, finally, labourers, many also families of long standing. Religion was important in supporting this social structure. Being an ‘open’ parish had enabled a chapel to be built and the provision of a school, though not all children attended this school. Through widespread ownership, there was a freedom to live and work without being beholden to neighbouring estates, as alternative employment could be found elsewhere for any surplus workers. Mechanisation improved farming practice, but, though government intervention during the First World War helped, the downturn afterwards and competition between farmers meant dairying was precarious, until the foundation of the Milk Marketing Board in 1933 to control production and price. The sale of the Duke of Devonshire’s farms in 1918 to the occupiers and the County Council removed the prestige that his tenants had enjoyed. -

On Some Mediaeval Pottery Recently Found in Derbyshire
ON SOME MEDIAEVAL POTTERY RECENTLY FOUND IN DERBYSHIRE. By Charles T. Gaily, Esq., Hon. Secretary. (Read November iSth, 1878.) HE writer has been for some time engaged in making a T catalogue of the pottery and porcelain in the Mayer Collection, and this work has involved a classification of the specimens. The difficulty of effecting such an arrangement in a satisfactory manner, must be experienced to be fully appreciated. Each group has its problems ; and concerning some, there seem to be but few satisfactory solutions. The history, fabric, mani pulation, age, and locality, all form points of interest for the enquirer to determine; and in the lapse of time which has occurred since the objects came into existence, many of these details have passed out of record and remembrance. The group of Early English pottery, however, comprising all the English productions subsequent to the Roman and Anglo- Saxon times, and previous to the i8th century, is as difficult a class to deal with as any, and principally for the reason that it offers so few distinctive features. There seems to be a dead level in the art of pottery throughout those five or six centuries. The materials used were of the very simplest kind, and the ornamentation, with a few exceptions, was extremely rude. The chemical ingredients of the various clays do not appear to have been understood, and all the mediaeval fabrics are of the simple kind arrived at by peoples who are acquainted only with the H 98 Medioeval Pottery. appearances of clays. It was not until the introduction of Eastern porcelain fabrics into this country, in consequence of the Dutch and English connection with India and China, that any attempt was made to work upon the chemical properties of the clays. -
