White's 1857 Driectory of Derbyshire

MORLESTON AND LITCHURCH HUNDRED.

This Hundred is bounded on the north by the Scarsdale hundred, on the east by the river Erewash, which separates it from Nottinghamshire, on the south by the river Trent, and the hundreds of Appletree, Repton, and Gresley; and on the west by the Appletree hundred. It comprises an area of 72,451 statute acres. It has generally a strong fertile clay soil on the eastern side, with intermixtures of sand, and a rich red loam on the western extremity. The banks of the rivers have a fine alluvial soil, the Derwent crossing the hundred for a considerable distance. The north and north east parts are rich in coal and iron, and the north west extremity extends into the lead district.

The following is an enumeration of its 27 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.
