White's 1857 Directory of Derbyshire

APPLETREE HUNDRED.

This Hundred is bounded on the north by Wirksworth Hundred, on the east by Morleston and Litchurch Hundred, on the south by that of Repton and Gresley, and on the west by the river Dove and Staffordshire. The parish of Breadsall on the north of Derby, with the parishes of Chaddesden and Spondon to the east of Derby, are detached and situated within the Morleston and Litchurch Hundred. It comprises an area of 89,649 statute acres. The soil is mostly of a rich red loam or sand with a portion of clay, in a high state of cultivation, and chiefly used for dairy purposes. Many of the farmers keep from 30 to 50 head of cows for making cheese, which is in great repute in all the neighbouring counties. On the eastern side the hosiery and lace trades are carried on to a considerable extent, and the north-east part is noted for its extensive collieries and iron works. Belper has long been celebrated for its cotton manufactories and for the manufacture of nails. Great improvements have been made in the buildings within the last 30 years. The ancient half-timbered and thatched houses and cottages have nearly all disappeared and been replaced by more modern erections.

The following is an enumeration of its 29 parishes, shewing their territorial extent, the annual value, and their population, from 1801 to 1851, as returned at the five decennial periods of the Parliamentary Census.

* The letter at the end of the names signify P for Parish, C for Chapelry, and T for Township.
