ALLESTREE,
a small well built village and parish, 2 miles N. from Derby, on the Duffield
road. The parish contains 1075A. 3R. 15P. of strong rich land, and in 1851 had
109 houses and 557 inhabitants, of whom 268 were males and 289 females;
rateable value £1376 2s. 5d. The principal land owners are William Mundy, Esq., M.P.,
Thomas Wm. Evans, Esq., and W. P. Thornhill, Esq., M.P., the former is lord of
the manor. The North Midland Railway passes through this parish, and occupies
8A. 1R. 9P. of land. The Church, dedicated to St. Edmund, was formerly one of
the Churches belonging to the Abbey at Darley. It is an ancient structure with
a Saxon porch, a nave, chancel, side aisles, and low tower, with 3 bells. A few
years ago, it was thoroughly restored and beautified, principally at the cost
of the late William Evans, Esq. In 1856, a clock was put up in the Church at a
cost of about £300, at the sole expense of the late W. Evans, Esq.; it is one
of the finest in the county. There are several monuments to the Mundy family,
and one to George Evans, aged 15, who was drowned in the river Wharf, at
Thorp-Arch, May 29th, 1804. The living is
a perpetual curacy, valued in the King’s book at £5, now £50, and has 2 acres
of glebe. Wm. Mundy, Esq., M.P., is the patron, and the Rev. John Hullett,
B.A., is the incumbent. About 14 acres of land in the parish belongs to the
Church, let for £30 per annum, for its reparation. The Church yard has recently
been enlarged about half an acre, one half the land was given by the late Wm.
Evans, Esq. In the Church yard are two yew trees, one of which is supposed to
be nearly as old as the Church, and in the S.E. corner is a stone cross or
pillar, with a plain shaft, twelve feet in height, with a carved head on which
there was formerly a dial. The Wesleyan Methodists have a small neat brick
chapel here, erected in 1821. A neat National School in the gothic style of
architecture for boys and girls was erected in 1856, at a cost of about £700,
aided by a grant from Government of £207, the remainder was paid by the late
Wm. Evans, Esq. The school will accommodate about 150. There is also a Sick
society held in the school room, which consists of about 100 members. The
manor, Adelardestreu, is described in
Domesday survey, as a hamlet of the manor of Markeaton, with which it is still
held. The late Francis N. C. Mundy, Esq., sold a considerable portion of Allestree
estate to the late Thomas Evans, Esq., Charles Upton, Esq., and Bache
Thornhill, Esq. Allestree Hall, a
handsome stone mansion, in a well wooded park, was for many years the residence
of the late Wm. Evans, Esq., whose public career was varied and influential. He
was sheriff of the county in 1829, and represented in parliament the Borough of
East Retford, for three sessions; the Borough of Leicester for three sessions;
and the Northern Division of this County from 1837 till 1853, when he retired
from parliamentary life. As a county magistrate Mr. Evans took a leading part,
occupying himself very actively in the
financial and other business, as well as in the legal portion of the
magisterial duties. He died on the 8th May 1856 in the 68th year of his age.
The Hall is now the seat and property
of Thos. Wm. Evans, Esq.
Munday’s
Charity.—(See Radbourn). The annual
sum of £1 4s. is received from the incumbent of Quarndon, by the perpetual
curate of Allestree, who retains 2s, for himself, pays 2s. to the churchwardens,
and the remaining 20s. are distributed on the Sunday fortnight after Christmas,
amongst the poor of the parish.
Church Lands.—By a decree of Commissioners of Charitable Uses,
&c., taken at Derby on 16th November, 30 Charles II., it was found that
certain closes situate in Markeaton, in the parish of Mackworth, called Sawry
Hill, had belonged to, and the rents, until the last 28 years, been employed
towards the repair of the parish Church of Allestree; and it was ordered that
Gilbert Mundy should deliver up possession of the said premises to the
churchwardens of Allestree, &c., and that Gilbert and Edward Mundy,
administrators of John Mnndy, having assets, should pay thereout £64 13s. 4d.
in respect of the rents of the said premises, received by him, to be employed
in the repairs of the said Church. The Church lands consist of 3 closes, called Sawry Hill,
containing about 9 acres, let for £19 3s. a year; 3 cottages and gardens in
Allestree, let for £1 each; a small piece of un-inclosed land, forming part of

ASTON-UPON-TRENT, a parish, township, and large well
built village, 6 miles S.E. from Derby, contains 1780A. 3R. 28P. of rich land,
and in 1851, had 157 houses, and 693 inhabitants, of whom 346 were males and
347 females; rateable value £3664 15s. 11½d. The principal owners are Edward A.
Holden, Esq., James Sutton, Esq., the Rev. Joseph Sikes, of Newark,
Nottinghamshire, the Earl of Harrington, and Aston, and Burton poor; the former
is lord of the manor. The
Church, (All Saints) is an ancient gothic structure, with nave, chancel, side
aisles, and embattled tower, with pinnacles, and four bells. It formerly had
galleries at the west end and north side. The communion table is of black oak,
handsomely carved with Exdoni Johannis
Honte, 1630. Here are monuments and tablets to the Hunt, Holden,
Shuttleworth, Fosbrook, and Walker families. In the year 1393, the church was
appropriated to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, in Chester, notwithstanding it is
now a rectory, valued in the King’s books at £29 15s., now £1,000, in the
patronage of E. A. Holden, Esq., and incumbency of the Rev. Francis Augustus
Weekes, M.A. In 1839, the presentation was sold to the Rev. — Bromley, and in
1848, it was resold to Samuel Ashton, Esq., who presented it to the present
incumbent. In 1853, the church was thoroughly restored, the chancel was fitted
up with neat stalls, the galleries were removed, the arch and tower thrown
open, and the windows were filled with stained glass. The rectory is a large
neat residence near the church. The Wesleyan Methodists have a small brick
chapel erected in 1829. National Schools for boys and girls, were erected in
1845, by voluntary contributions, aided by a grant of £54 from the National
School Society. The boys room will accommodate 80, average attendance 40; and
the girls room will hold 50, about 30 attend. The master is allowed £45 per
annum and the use of a house adjoining the school. A grant of a market and fair
was obtained in 1256, both have long been disused. The market cross was taken
down in 1837. Messrs. Pegg, Harper and Co., of Derby, and Mr. Robert Meakin, of
Chellaston, have extensive gypsum pits in this parish. There are several lodges
of Odd Fellows, and Friendly Societies. Aston
Hall is a large neat modern brick mansion, painted stone colour, situated
in park like grounds of considerable extent. On the north front is a stone
portico, supported by two fluted pillars; the south front overlooks a beautiful
lawn, the Vale of the Trent, and Donington Woods. It is the seat and property
of Edward A. Holden, Esq. Aston Lodge, a neat residence, the
property of James Sutton Esq., and the residence of Mrs. C. Walker. Feast,
Sunday before Nov. 5th.
CHARITIES.—Samuel Mather, in the year 1706, left £40 to the poor of Aston, £30 of
which was laid out in the purchase of a house then rented by John Clarke, and
the remaining £10 was in the hands of Mr. Crompton, of Derby. By the award for
the Aston enclosure, dated 22nd March, 1783, land in the Nether Field, at a
place called the Heath,
248 MORLESTON
AND LITCHURCH HUNDRED.
of the yearly value of 35s., was given in exchange for the cottage above
named. The land is now enclosed, and contains about 2½A., now let for £7 per
annum, which is distributed on the Sunday after Christmas day, amongst poor
persons. With respect to the £10 stated to have been in the hands of Mr.
Crompton, it is not known how it was apppropriated, but is supposed to have
been laid out in the purchase of four poor houses in the parish.
Joseph
Percival, of Winchester, by will
proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, October 1715, bequeathed £100 to
the poor of the parish of Aston, to be laid out at interest by the minister,
overseers, and churchwardens. In respect of this legacy, there is a sum of £97
9s. 3d. old South-sea annuities, part of a sum of £1180 16s. 6d. stock,
standing in the name of the Accountant General of the Court of Chancery, to the
credit of the cause of the Dean of Winchester against Holden. The dividends
payable to the poor of this parish have not been paid for many years; the last
supposed to have been paid on the 10th October, 1794. At the time of our
enquiry, August, 1826, little was known in the parish as to this charity,
&c. Upon enquiry at the Accountant General’s office, it appears the arrears
of interest may be received, on the proper application being made by the
minister, churchwardens, and overseers of Aston, and this we have recommended
should be done. The arrears of interest will amount to about £90, and it seems
advisable they should be invested in the funds, and the dividends distributed
to the poor with the yearly dividends of South sea annuities.
Elizabeth
Cooper, by will, 1728, whose
charity for the parish of Spondon—(See Spondon)—left lands, &c., for the
poor of Aston, which consisted of one moiety of a field of about an acre,
called the Green Leas, and three small parcels of land in the Common Meadow. At
the time of the enclosure, there was allotted in respect of these three parcels
2A. 13P. in a field called Thornborough Field, not enclosed, and lies open to
the rest of the field, which is the property of Mrs. Cock, to whom also an
undivided moiety of the Green Leas belongs. The yearly rent of £2 l0s. is paid
by the tenant in respect of so much of the land as belongs this charity, which
is distributed by the trustee amongst the poor, he retaining 5s. for his
expences. We recommended the appointment of new trustees for this and the
Spondon charity.
Robert Cowper, by will 1720, gave to ten of the poorest people of
the town of Aston the sum of 5s. to be paid yearly for ever, out of a parcel of
ground called the Green Leas, This sum has not been paid for 20 or 30 years
past. The last payment was by Mrs. Cowlishaw. There are several parcels of
land of that name, and we have not been able to discover which was the property
so described in the will.
Jane Shepherd left, in 1734, a rent charge of 12s. a-year, to pay
for two children at Aston school. It is upwards of 40 years since this was
paid. The estate supposed to be charged therewith is situate at Chellaston, and
was, at the time the last payment was made, in the possession of Mrs. Bayle and
Mrs. Hardinge; it now belongs to Mr. T. Brown Dummelow, of Chellaston, but
there does not seem sufficient evidence to prove that this is the estate liable
thereto.

CODNOR PARK is an extra parochial liberty, in the
ecclesiastical district of Ironville, situated on the Erewash valley railway, 4
miles S.E. from Alfreton, and 12 miles N.E. from Derby, and contains 1,400
acres of land, rich in ironstone, coal, and other minerals; rateable value,
£2592; and in 1851, had 132 houses and 735 inhabitants, of whom 381 were males
and 354 females. Fras. Wright, Esq., of Osmaston, is lord of the manor. The
Butterley Iron Company are the principal owners, and have very extensive works
here, for the smelting and manufacture of all descriptions of iron; four blast
furnaces being constantly at work, which gives employment to the greater
portion of the population. Messrs. Joseph Bourne and Son, of Denby pottery,
have also a manufactary here, of stone-ware, bottles, &c. Codnor Castle was situated on high
ground, and commanded an extensive prospect to the East, of which a small
portion of the walls remain, and a dovecote entire. From the walls and
foundations, it appears to have been a place of considerable extent. On the
south it had a large square court, from which were two entrances into the
castle; on the east side was a broad deep moat, and on the bank grew a double
row of trees, which were cut down about the
year 1738. The park belonging to the
Castle contained about 2,200 acres of land. In the early part of the
13th century there was a castle here; and
in the reign of Henry III., it was the chief seat of Richard de Grey, whose
descendants, the Barons Grey, of Codnor, possessed it for many years, the last
of whom, Henry, a philosopher and alchymist, in the reign of Henry IV. obtained
a license to practise the transmutation of metals; he died in or about the year
1526, when the Codnor estate
passed to Sir John Zouch, who had married Elizabeth, the aunt of the last
possessor. The Codnor estate was sold by Sir John Zouch and John Zouch, Esq.,
his heir apparent, in 1634, to Archbishop Neile, and his son, Sir Paul. Their
descendent, Richard Neile, Esq. sold the manor and castle of Codnor, with its
members—Heanor, Loscoe, and Langley, and the manor of Codnor Park, in 1692, to
Sir Strensham Masters, who was high sheriff in 1712, and occupied Codnor
Castle, but even then it was in a ruinous state, and since that period it has
entirely fallen into ruins and it is said six farm houses with other convenient
buildings, were raised from the materials collected from the ruins. The
Cromford and Erewash canals here unite. Aldercar
Hall, a pleasant mansion erected in 1668, was a seat of the Burtons. The
Milnes possessed it in 1712. It is now the seat of George Jessop, Esq., Golden Valley, a small village 3 miles
S.E. of Alfreton, inhabitants principally colliers. Stoneyford Colliery, 2½ miles from Codnor, is worked by the
Butterley Iron Company. Hard and soft coal of good quality is got here.

CRICH, is an extensive parish containing the
township of CRICH, in the Morleston and Litchurch Hundred; the township of
WESSINGTON, in Scarsdale Hundred; and the township and chapelry of TANSLEY, in
the Wirksworth Hundred. The entire parish contains 5,772A. 3R. 0P. of land,
rich in minerals and every variety of soil, and in 1851, had 832 houses, and
3,670 inhabitants, of whom 1,861 were males and 1,809 females, rateable value
£7,898 9s. 6d. This is a picturesque district of lofty hills and deep valleys.
At the Norman survey, the manor
belonged to Ralph Fitzhubert, from whom it passed to the Frechvilles; Sir Roger
Belers, who died seized of it in 1380, left two daughters, who possessed it in
moieties, but the whole ultimately devolved to the descendants of Sir Robert de
Swillington, who married the elder; it afterwards passed to Ralph, Lord
Cromwell, who, in the reign of Henry VI., sold the reversion to John Talbot,
second Earl of Shrewsbury. On the death of Gilbert, Earl of Shrewsbury, in
1616, it was divided between his daughters and co-heiresses, the Countesses of
Kent, Pembroke, and Arundel, since which time it has been sold to various
persons.
CRICH, is a large well-built village and township,
pleasantly situated at the cross of the roads from Alfreton to Cromford and
Wirksworth; 5 miles W. by S.
from Alfreton, 4 miles S.E. from Cromford, and 5 miles N. from Belper. It contains 3,367A. 3R. 0P. of land; and
in 1851, had 595 houses, and 2,562 inhabitants, of whom 1,286, were males and
1,276 females; rateable value, £4,993 9s. 6d. The land is freehold, and owned
by many individuals. The Earl of Thanet, F. Hurt, Esq., S. Travis, Esq., and
others, are lords of the manor of the liberty of Crich, for which John Charge,
Esq., is the steward of the court leet and court baron, within the manor and liberty
of Crich; and holds a court at Crich, for the hearing of complaints and
settling disputes relating to the mines, according to the custom of the
liberty—Mr. Luke Alsop is bar-master. The Church,
which is dedicated to St. Michael, is a handsome structure, situated on a
commanding eminence, has a nave, chancel, and side aisles, with a tower,
surmounted by a spire, and five bells. It was built of the rough grey limestone
taken from the hill on which it stands. In the reign of Stephen, Robert
Ferrers, Earl of Derby, gave the Church of Crich to the Abbey at Darley, and it
is supposed that it was about this time that a church was first erected there.
In the forty-second year of the reign of Edward III. a chantry was founded in
the church. In the north aisle of the church is a pointed arch, beneath which,
is a recumbent effigy of a man in armour, resting his feet upon a dog, neither
arms, inscription, nor date are visible, but it is, with some reason, supposed
to be in memory of Sir William de Wakebridge, who died in the reign of Edward
III. On the right-hand side of the chancel, is an altar tomb, with the effigy
of a man resting his feet upon a dog. On the ledge of the slab is a latin
inscription to Godfrey Beresford, Esq., son and heir to Adam Beresford, Esq., of
Bentley, and servant to George, Earl of Shrewebury. He died 29th of November,
1513. The living is a vicarage,
valued in the King’s books at £6 10s. 10d., now £170; has been augmented with
£200 benefactions, £200 Queen Anne’s bounty, and £600 parliamentary grant. The
patrons are Edward Radford, Esq., John Garton, Esq., Rev. M. Holmes, Henry A.
Norman; and Wm. Wathey, Esqs., and Sir Henry Wilmot, Bart., impropriator, Rev.
Wm. Chawner, B.A., is the incumbent. The vicarage is a neat modern residence, a
little W. of the church, it was enlarged in 1856. The General Baptists, the Wesleyans,
the Wesleyan Reformers, and Primitive Methodists, have each places
of worship here. The Primitive Methodists
have also chapels at Crich Carr, and Fritchley; the Independents have also a chapel at the latter place. The National
school is a handsome stone building, erected in 1848, at a cost of about £600,
raised by voluntary subscriptions, aided by a grant from
CRICH PARISH. 255
Government of £250; it will accommodate about 300, the average attendance
is about 50. There are several lodges of Odd-Fellows, Foresters, and Friendly
societies, in the parish This was formerly a market town, and the ancient
market cross still stands, opposite the Jovial Dutchman Inn. Fairs are held on
the 11th October and 5th of
April, and the feast is also held on the former date. The inhabitants are
supported chiefly by the lead mines, lead works, lime works, limestone
quarries, and in the manufacture of hosiery, here being about 100 frames. CRICH
CLIFF mines, known by the names of Bacchus’
Pipe, Glory, Pearson’s Venture, and Wakebridge,
with several others in the neighbourhood, have been the most productive of
any in the county for the last 40 years. One-ninth of the produce is given to
the lords of the manor; W. E. Nightingale, Esq. receives one-sixth of the ore raised at Wakebridge mine, as lessor, Messrs.
Wass and Co. are the lessees; this mine is at present standing, Crich has long
been noted for its mines, for we find, in the time of the Norman survey, Leuric and Levenot held a lead mine at Crice.
Calamine is got at Bonsall, and in the neighbourhood, but spelter having
superseded it, the mines are very little worked. The Ridgway Sough, from Crich Cliff to the river Derwent, clears the
Crich Cliff mines. Meerbrook Sough, 1 mile N. from Whatstandwell bridge,
runs in a westerly direction, towards the rich mining field near the town of
Wirksworth. It was commenced in 1772, by a company of adventurers, and
completed in 1848, at a cost of about £80,000, and is now in the hands of 400
shareholders of £50 each, which are now at a premium of £30 per share, it is
about 2½ miles in length, the average height 6 feet, and 42 feet wide; its
object is to draw the water from the lead mines. The proprietors are
incorporated under an Act of Parliament, passed in June, 1841, which enables
them to raise tolls for the maintenance thereof, and by which they are enabled
to take any portion of the ore not exceeding one-sixth. The shaft draws up the
material from a depth of upwards of 200 yards, by a steam engine. There are
smelting furnaces at Bonsall, Lea, and Meerbrook; lead works, with red lead
manufactories and rolling mills at Lea; and lead works at Bonsall. Crich Cliff, 1 mile N. of the village,
is one of the highest hills in the county, with the exception of the High Peak.
On its summit is an Observatory, called Crich
Stand, which was erected in 1788, and rebuilt of stone in 1851, by the
owner, Francis Hurt, Esq., at a cost of £210. It is seen from several points of
the surrounding country, being 955 feet above the level of the sea, according
to the ordnance survey, and from the top the eye is gratified with a very
extensive prospect, commanding views extending over several counties; and it is
said, into Wales. It is at all times free of access to the public. The village
of Crich has the appearance of
antiquity, and is supposed to have been known to the Romans. Some year’s ago, a
collection of ancient coins were found in the neighbourhood, and by the
inscription, it appeared that some of them were coined in the reigns of Domitian, Adrian, and Dioclesian. Crich lime is noted for its
superior quality; the Clay Cross Company have
extensive works near the Ambergate railway station; the stone is brought from
Crich cliff, on two inclined planes, (worked by wire ropes,) one of which is
supposed to be the steepest in the kingdom, it is 500 yards long, and rises
about 1 in 10; waggons are let down by a break attached to a drum. The other,
600 yards long, rises 1 in 36, worked by a wire rope round an horizontal
shield; about one mile of railroad; and another inclined plane, longer than
either of the above. 120 men are employed, aided by a steam engine of twelve
horses power. The sale of lime and stone is from 50,000 to 60,000 tons
annually, and is yearly increasing. Here are 20 kilns,, between 30 and 40 feet
in depth, and 11 feet in diameter, with cones 20 feet high; Chas. Binns, Esq.,
of Clay Cross, is the principal agent, Mr. Thomas Summerside, resident agent and manager, Mr. Robert
Boag, lime burner and contractor, and
Mr. James Jeffries is the contractor of
the quarries. The Butterley Iron Company have also extensive lime works at Bull Bridge, where about 8000 tons of
lime and 30,000 tons of stone are sold yearly. About 50 men are employed at
these works, Mr. Peter Wm. Bowne is the resident
manager. Messrs. Curtis and Harvey’s gunpowder magazine is also situated at
Bull Bridge.
