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.

552 HIGH PEAK HUNDRED. Greatest Diversity of Architectural Proportions, No Two Being Exactly Alike
552 HIGH PEAK HUNDRED. greatest diversity of architectural proportions, no two being exactly alike. The well arranged gardens attached, give an additional charm to this interesting village of rural beauty; every thing tends to show his Grace’s taste, good feeling, and liberal disposition towards those in humble circumstances. 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. -

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. -

Derbyshire Fringe
www.peakdistrict.gov.uk 6: Derbyshire Peak Fringe Peak District National Park Authority Derbyshire Peak Fringe Looking towards Minninglow © Peak District National Park Authority Introduction The Derbyshire Peak Fringe has an intermediate character and occupies a transitional zone, between the uplands of the Peak District to the north and west and the rural lowlands of Derbyshire with small parts of North Staffordshire to the south and east. 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. Other Physical influences tree species present in these upland woods include downy and The physical structure of the Derbyshire Peak Fringe is strongly silver birch, rowan, holly and hazel. These woods can also support influenced by the underlying geology, which comprises a sequence honeysuckle and bluebells and are important for bat species and of rock types along the southern and the lower eastern flank of the birds, including the redstart which uses holes in trees for nesting Derbyshire Dome and in the south rock types associated with the sites. Lower woodlands in the south of the area support ash, birch Widmerpool Gulf. This gives rise to a mixed geology around Parwich and hazel intermixed. -

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.
