Philip Gell, Mr. James Brough, W. Cox, Esq., Mr. John Brough, John Morley, and Thomas Campión are the principal owners. The Church, dedicated to St. Michael, is an ancient structure, with nave, chancel, side aisles, and low embattled tower in which there are three bells. In the east window a small portion of stained glass remains. In 1824, the late patron erected a new vestry, and in 1840, the church was thoroughly repaired, re-pewed, and a gallery erected on the south aide, at a cost of £600. at the same time the remains of an ancient chapel were discovered, and some tesselated bricks on the north side. A new organ was placed at the east end of the south aisle, at a cost of about £70, in June, 1854; the money was raised by subscription. In the church are several neat monuments to various rectors, of which the last is to the Rev. Edward S. Wilmot. There also several to the Meynell family, one of which, a handsome marble tablet, was erected in 1855, by the Officers of the 75th regiment, to the memory of their brother officer, the late Lieut. Wm. Meynell, who was killed at Guergivo, on the Danube, on the 7th day of July, 1854, he was 28 years of age; also a very neat tablet to the memory of John Meynell, Esq., of Tapton, in this county, who was suddenly deprived of life by a collision in the Clay-cross tunnel, on the Midland railway, May 29th, 1851, aged 44 years. The living is a rectory valued in the King’s book at £12 2s. 1d., now £318; Godfrey Franceys Meynell, Esq., (now a minor) is the patron, and the Rev. Henry James Feilden, M.A., rector. The Rectory is a good residence, a little N. of the church. The tithes were commuted in 1842 for £213. The rector has 90 acres of glebe, a con­siderable portion of which was awarded to him at the enclosure of Meynell Langley, in lieu of tithes. The commons were enclosed in 1834, by an act then obtained. In 1845, the rector erected a large school room, to be used as a day and Sunday school, since which, a house for the master has been added; about 80 scholars attend, who pay from 3d. to 6d. per week each, except twelve poor children who are taught free in consideration of land amounting to 3A. 2R. 21P., which is let for £12 per annum. An infant school was established in 1849, which is attended by about 40 children, who pay 1d. each, per week. The Primitive Methodists have a small chapel here, erected in 1832. Brun House, a good substantial building, 1 mile S.E. of the village, is the residence of Mr. John Aulton, and property of Thos. Goodall Copestake, Esq.

MEYNELL LANGLEY, a small but straggling hamlet, consisting of a few houses prin­cipally built of brick, with blue tiles, and forming the east side of the parish. The Flagshaw, a small brook, separates it from Kirk Langley. It contains 1,146A. 3R. 16P. of land, of the rateable value of £1,324 10s. 4d. Godfrey Franceys Meynell, Esq., is lord of the manor and principal owner. The school land mentioned above, is situated in this hamlet. Langley Park, a handsome stone mansion, 1 mile E.N.E. from the village, situated in a well-wooded park of about 60 acres, and commanding a fine view of Derby; it is the seat of Godfrey Meynell, Esq. The manor of Langley Meynell took its name from an ancient family who possessed it as early as the reign of Edward III.; from them it passed by successive female heirs to the families of Basset and Cavendish. William Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle, sold it in the year 1669, to Isaac Meynell, citizen of London, who left an only daughter and heir, whose second husband, Robert Cecil a younger brother of James, Earl of Salisbury, sold Church Langley and Meynell Langley to Godfrey Meynell, Esq., another branch of the family. Mr. Meynell having no issue, he bequeathed the estate to his cousins, and the manor and estate was divided; of which the shares in the manor were all sold to the late Godfrey Meynell, Esq.

CHARITIES.—Rev. John Bailey and Isabella, his wife, in 1750, erected a school house

at Langley; and in 1763, left a rent charge of £5 yearly, out of a messuage and lands at Boylstone, for teaching poor children of the parish. Frances Bayley, in 1768, for a nominal consideration, sold to certain trustees a close called the Upper Cunnery, for teaching two poor children at the school; and if the said close, 3½ acres, with the annuity, should exceed £10 a year, the surplus to be used in repairing or altering the school. The schoolmaster occupies the land, at the value of £6 16s., and receives the rent charge, £5, allowing to the rector £1 for repairs, and he appoints 12 children to be taught free.

Hough’s Charity.—(See Dalbury.)—In respect of which, £1 a year. has been hitherto paid for the poor of this parish, and given amongst 20 of the poorest persons.

Rev. Mr. Bailey gave the interest of £10, to be paid on the four sacrament days, agreeable to the will of the donor. This has been in the hands of the Cheney family, and 5 per cent for many years paid; but the son of the late General Robert Cheney has sold his estate in this pariah., so that it is desirable that the money should be called in, or a fresh security given.

Mrs. Cheney, in 1821, placed the sum of £20 in the savings’ bank, at Derby, under the name of “the poor of Langley, by Mrs. Cheney,” and directed the interest to be paid to the minister for the time being, for the use of the poor who should attend the sacra­ment. Owing to some inadvertence, this sum has never been demanded, so that there is now (1826) £25 in the savings’ bank.

It contains 1344A. 0R. 4P. of land, and in 1851, had 57 houses, and 306 inhabitants, of whom 158 were males, and 148 females; rateable value, £2170 5s. 0d. Wm. Mundy, Esq., M.P. is lord of the manor and principal owner. Lord Scarsdale, Godfrey F. Meynell, Esq., (a minor), and E. S. C. Pole, Esq., are also owners. A Court-leet is held occasionally at the Mundy Arms. The Church, dedicated to All Saints, is an ancient edifice, partly in the decorated style, with a nave, chancel, and fine tower, with an octagonal spire, and three bells. In the church are two marble tablets, to Wm. Forrester, of Broadfield, Herts, and Ann his wife, with several others. The living is a vicarage, valued in the King’s book at £9 3s., now £161, has been endowed with £200 Queen Anne’s bounty. Wm. Mundy, Esq., M.P., is the patron, and the Rev. Geo. Pickering, B.A., incumbent, who resides at the vicarage, a neat house near the church. In 1835, the patron erected a school room, which is available for both the townships; all classes are eligible on payment of 3d. per week to the master, who also receives £9 per annum from Mr. Mundy; about 40 attend. The schoolmaster has also £5 per annum, for teaching a Sunday school. An Odd Fellows’ lodge (Manches­ter Unity), is held at the Mundy Arms, and consists of about 80 members. The open lands of both townships (amounting to 2440A.), were enclosed in 1763. Mackworth in Domesday book, is called Machenorde, and is a place of some antiquity. The manor, in the time of Henry VI. belonged to a family of the name of Mackworth, one of whom in the third or fourth years of that King’s reign, represented the county of Derby in parlia­ment. Here was formerly a castle; anciently the seat of the De Mackworth’s; the only portion of it now visible is the Southgate; the time of its erection is uncertain, but the site is now the property of Lord Scarsdale: in the fourth of Phillip and Mary, it was held under the Crown, in the same manner as the honour of Tutbury, by socage and fealty, according to tradition, it was demolished during the civil wars, between Charles I. and the parliament, and some high ground in the neighbourhood, is still called Cannon Hills, because it is said that ordnance were planted there when the castle was destroyed. The manor of Mackworth has always been held with that of Markeaton.

MARKEATON, a scattered township and small ancient village, in which are several good houses, one mile and three-quarters W.N.W. from Derby, contains 1902A. 2R. of rich land, and in 1851 had 41 houses, and 204 inhabitants, of whom 98 were males, and 106 females; rateable value, £3,431, William Mundy, Esq., M.P., is lord of the manor and principal owner. Lord Scarsdale, Miss E. Trowell, and T. W. Evans, Esq., are also owners, and the corporation of Derby have 118 acres. In 1826 the late Mrs. Muudy established a free school here for girls of both townships; it is now used for both sexes, who pay 3d. per week, each; about 50 attend. The Hall, which was erected about the year 1750, is a large brick mansion, with a spacious park in front, is the seat of Wm. Mundy, Esq., M.P. The Old Hall, was of wood and plaster. A neat Gothic lodge and handsome iron entrance gate were erected in 1844, on the Derby and Ashbourn road. Thornhill, the seat and property of Miss E. Trowell, is a neat modern residence, commanding a fine view of Derby, from which it is distant one and a half miles W. by S.

This manor, Marchetone, is described in Domesday book as having been the property of Siward, and then held by Gozelin, under Hugh Lupus Earl of Chester. In the year 1251, Thomas, son of Robert Tusehet, had a charter of free warren here. They also claimed a park and a gallows for the execution of criminals in 1330. About the year 1516 John Tuchet, Lord Audley, sold the manors of Markeaton and Mackworth to John Mundy, citizen of London, from whom they have descended to the present possessor. The late Francis Noel Clarke Mundy, Esq, was for many years the much respected chairman of the quarter sessions at Derby, and author of the admirable poems of  “Needwood Forest,” and the “Fall of Needwood.”

Peter Hough’s Charity.—(See Dalbury).—The sum of £1 10s. received from Edwd. Cooper of Ashbourn, is distributed, with others, on St. Thomas’s day.

Henry Stanley, in 1715, gave for the use of the poor of Markeaton and Mackworth, £100 to be applied as his trustees should appoint. Much suit had arisen by Hester Stanley, the testator’s daughter, concerning the said will, whereby the estate was greatly diminished. Only £73 could be gotten. The trustees agreed that £52 2s. should be applied for the poor of Markeaton as their share of the legacy, and that £30 should be applied to the poor of Mackworth. The said £52 2s. was laid out in pur­chasing two closes in 1724. John Bennett, the last surviving trustee, purchased, in 1762, 2A. 36P., of land in Garrowsitch Furlong for £40, for the use of the poor of Mackworth. The two closes belonging to Markeaton now form one field, let for £5 per annum, which is received by the churchwarden. The Mackworth land now form one field called the Poor’s Land, let for £6 6s. per annum, and is distributed on St. Thomas’s day.

In the chapel is a handsome monument to Sir Richard Harpur, also a neat tablet to the mnemory of Elizabeth, the wife of Cockshutt Heathcote, Esq. It is a chapel of ease to Mickleover, the Rev. Geo. Fritche, curate. The vicar has 74A. 2R. 1P. of glebe and a portion of the hay tithe, commuted for £20. The Old Hall, now a farm house, stands on an elavation at the west end of the village.

The Wesleyan Methodists and Baptists have each a place of worship here. The Feast is held the Sunday after St. Peter.

CHARITIES.—Poor’s Land—There are two fields of land within the chapelry of Littleovcr, said to have been given for the benefit of the poor, but by whom, or at what period, is unknown. One of the fields contains 2 acres, let for £7 per annum. The other rather more, lets for £6 per annum. Cockshutt Heathcote, Esq., states that he has found no papers concerning these charities, or how the trust devolved upon his father, but he pro­poses to continue the distribution in the same manner as heretofore made. A part of another field was mentioned to us as belonging to the poor, but we have met with no evidence of its having been so appropriated.

Thomas Wade, in 1678, gave to the poor of Mickleover 12s. a-year, to be paid by his executor on every St. Thomas’s day. Mr. George Wade, the owner of a farm in this parish, distributes 12s. annually to poor widows.

Joyce Harpur, by her will, gave land to poor widows of Mickleover, then vested in Mrs. Fowler, and producing 5s. per annum. A rent charge of 5s. is paid from land be­longing to Mr. William Tancred Fowler, and distributed in sums of 6d.

Poor’s Money—There is a sum of £60 belonging to the poor of Mickleover, secured by promissory note dated April 26th, 1819, of Paul Spencer, and Paul Spencer, junr. Of this sum, £20 appears to have been given by Robert Newton, and £40 by William Botham. The interest, at 3 per cent., is paid to the overseer, and distributed by him.

Robert Newton, Esq., in 1784 left £200 on trust, the interest to be applied to the old and infirm poor of the parish of Mickleover on 4th November yearly, the first year in money

and the next in clothes, and so alternately. He also gave £200 in trust to apply the pro­duce thereof to the use of a school at Mickleover. Mr. John Leaper, one of the trustees took the name of Newton, and gave by his will, all his trusts to his second son, Mr. Wm. Newton, of Derby, and the above sums of £200 each are in his hands, for which he pays interest at 4½ per cent.

Gisborne’s Charity, (See Bradley.) —The vicar receives £5 10s. on account of this charity, which is applied in the purchase of flannel and cloth, and distributed by him at Christmas amongst the poor of the parish.

Poles Charity, (See Radbourn,) for apprenticing poor children.

John Allsop, in 1714, gave all his lands and tenements, situate in the parish of Skir­beck, county of Lincoln, to his wife, Sarah, for life, and after her decease to his son, provided that, if he should die under the age of 21, and without issue, the said lands and premises should be to the use of a schoolmaster to teach the children of poor people of Findern, Willington, and Stenson. The property consists of a small thatched cottage with outbuild­ings, near the town of Boston, with two closes of good pasture adjoining, containing 12A. 3R. 17P., and an allotment in the fen, 5A. 3R. 32P., let at £50. The money is paid to a schoolmaster, who keeps a school at Findern. All the poor children, boys and girls, of the said places, are admitted. The number varies from 30 to 60, according to the time of the year.

John Erpe devised land, called Lesser Crow Nest, in Findern, from the Middle Hedge to Findern Hays, and directed his hiers to pay yearly 20s. at Michaelmas and Lady-day, viz. 12s. for schooling some poor children, and 8s. in buying poor families religious books. 12s. is paid to the schoolmaster, and 8s. laid out in books for the poor, the donor’s name being written on them.

MORLEY, a parish and township, with the township of Smalley, contains 3264A. 31P. of land, exclusive of 125A. 0R. 7P. woods and roads; rateable value, £5405 18s. 2d., and in 1851 had 232 houses, and 1090 inhabitants, of whom 541 were males, and 549 females.

MORLEY, a scattered village and township, 4 miles N.E. from Derby, contains 1685A. 3R. 32P. of land, partly clay and sand, and 125A. 0R. 7P. of woods and roads, and in 1851 had 57 houses, and 286 inhabitants, of whom 144 were males, and 142 females; rateable value, £2667 9s. The executors of the late Sir Hugh Bateman, Bart., with Edward Degge Sitwell, Esq., are joint lords of the manor, and alternate patrons of the rectory. The principal owners are, Thos. O. Bateman, Henry Boden, James Boden, and Robert S. Sitwell, Esqrs.; with a few smaller owners. The Church, dedicated to St. Matthew, is a large structure, with nave, chancel, side aisles, tower, and lofty spire with 3 bells. In 1850, the church was thoroughly restored and new seated, with open seats of carved oak, and the spire was heightened 2ft. 7in. at the same time. The whole was done at an expense of of £426, raised by subscriptions. The living is a rectory, valued in the King’s book at £13 6s. 8d., now £679. The Rev. Samuel Fox, M.A., incum­bent. Ralph Stathum, Esq., who died in 1380, built a small chapel here; his surviving widow Goditha, pulled down the chapel and built the present church in 1403. In the north aisle are four windows occupying nearly the whole of the north side, and one at the east end of the same aisle, filled with painted glass, supposed to have been brought from Dale Abbey, at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries. Both the figures and legends are a great deal mutilated, but the subjects of several of them may still be made out. They relate to a tradition, that on a dispute between the canons of Depedale and the keepers of the forest, the King granted to the canons as much land, as between two suns could be encircled with a plough drawn by stags, which were to be caught from the forest. In the chancel is a stone inlaid with brass plates, on which are engraved the effigies of a man in plate armour, bare headed, kneeling on his helmet, and armed with a dagger; and of his lady, in a long gown and mitred head-dress. It is to the memory of John Stathum, and Cecily, his wife; the former of whom died in 1454, and the latter in 1444. Under an ornamented arch, on the south side of the chancel, is an altar-tomb with brass plates, on which are engraved the effigies of Henry Stathum, who died in 1481, and his three wives. He is cased in an elegant suit of armour of the period, with globular breast-plate, and reclines upon his helmet; he is armed with sword and dagger, and has a lion under his feet. Here is also another altar-tomb, with brass figures, to the memory of Henry Sacheverell and Isabella his wife; he died in 1458. There are also brasses to John Sacheverell and Joan, his wife, who are represented as kneeling on cushions oppo­site to each other, having between them their coat of arms. The male is bare-headed and clad in plate armour, followed by three sons; the female is clad in a tight fitting gown with ermine cuffs, and wears an embroided head-dress; she is followed by five daughters. The Rectory is a neat mansion, near the church, with 111A. of glebe. The tithes were commuted in 1844 for £324 14s. 4d. Near the west end of the church are the remains of an old gateway said to have been the entrance to the court of an ancient hall apparently of large dimensions, and was occupied in 1755. A little to the south of the village is a Tumulus planted with Firs, and near the approach to the church stands on a basement of five steps, an octagonal shaft, having a square carved head, on which has been a dial plate, said to have been a market cross. Near the cross is Crosswell and Critchley spring, which never freezes over.

At Morley Moor, is a mixed school, endowed with £11 per annum, left principally by Miss E. G. C. Darwin in 1816. The average attendance of scholars is about 40, who pay from 1d. to 2d. per week each.

In Domesday survey, it is described as one of the manors of Henry de Ferrars. In 1235, the manors of Morley and Smalley were held by the Abbot of Chester, as of the fee of Hugh Earl of Chester, afterwards it was held by a family who took their name from the place. Goditha, the heiress, brought it to Ralph Stathum, who died in 1380. The

heiress of Stathum brought it to John Sacheverell, who was slain at the battle of Bosworth field, in 1485. The last male heir of this family died in 1714. The Feast, Sunday before Sept. 21st, or that day, if Sunday.

SMALLEY, a pleasant, well-built village, chapelry, and township, six miles N.E. from Derby, and four miles W. from Duffield station, contains 1578A. 1R. 9P. of land, and in 1851 had 175 houses, and 804 inhabitants, of whom 397 were males, and 407 females rateable value, £2,738 9s. 2d. Edward Degge Sitwell, Esq., is lord of the manor, and con­siderable owner. John Radford, Esq., Robert Holden, Esq., A. M. Mundy, executors of Sir H. Bateman, Bart, and Henry Richardson, Esq., are also owners. The Chapel, dedicated to St. John Baptist, was erected in 1793, and considerably enlarged in 1844, at a cost of upwards of £350, defrayed by voluntary subscriptions. It is a neat stone edifice in the form of a cross, well pewed, with a turret and one bell. Here are two neat tablets, to the memory of the late Jno. Radford. Esq., and his lady. It is dependent on Morley, and the Rev. Augustus F. Smith, B.A., curate, officiates. The tithes were commuted in 1845 for £343 12s., and there are 28A. of glebe. A National school for girls was built in 1848, near the church, at a cost of £700, raised by contributions, and a grant of £188. It is a neat building of brick and stone, with residence for the teacher, Miss Thomas the average attendance is about 30. The Richardson family had a good house and estate here formerly, now the property of John Radford, Esq. Here is a Baptist chapel, erected in 1780, and enlarged in l820. A Benefit society and Odd Fellows’ lodge is held in the village. A petty sessions is held every Monday. Feast, Sunday after St. John.

Kidsley, or Kiddersley Park, one and a half mile N.E. from Smlley, and in that township was a manor, which in the year 1235 belonged to the abbot of Chester, and was divided among the co-heiresses of Robert Sacheverell, Esq. It is now the property of Wm. Drury Lowe, Esq. Christopher Johnson, M.D., an eminent medical writer in 1597, was a native of this place.

CHARITIES.—Jacinth Sacheverell, who died in London in 1656, is said to have founded some almshouses here, but we have not found a copy of will or any authentic document relating thereto. On a tablet in the church the following account is given:—“Six hospital houses given by Jacinth Sacheverell, Esq., and £5 a year to each house, to be paid quarterly, half to Morley and half to Smalley, issuing out of land at Raunson, in the county of Leicester, and £5 a year out of the same land, half to the poor of Morley and half to the poor of Smalley, to be paid by 12s. 6d, per quarter to each.” The almshouses con­sist of six dwellings under one roof, each containing two rooms with small gardens in front, three being appropriated to each place, and three almsmen are appointed from each town­ship. The annual sum of £35 is paid by Leonard Fosbrooke, Esq., of Shardlow, as the owner of the estate at Raunson. Of this sum £2 10s. is paid every half year to the alms­men. The money is sometimes given to persons not resident in the houses. It appear to us that the almsmen who may be in future appointed, should be persons residing therein. The sum of £5 is also distributed from the same source on the first Sunday in the year, amongst the poor of the above-named places.

Poor’s Land, consists of near 8 acres. let for £12 per annum, and distributed with other charities on the first Sunday in the new year. John Mapples in 1674, gave £12; William Potter gave £10; and Widow Dakin, £5; which were laid out in land. At the Morley enclosure, in 1784, these lands, containing about 4½A, were exchanged with Richd. Lowe, Esq., for the present two fields. The original title deeds were burnt in the parsonage house, about 1739.

Edward James left 20s. a year—10s. to Morley, and 10s. to Smalley. This is paid out of a farm at Ockbrook Moor.

Katharine Hibbert, by will, left 10s. a year, out of a house in the Willows, Nuns Green, Derby.

Lady Sleigh left £10 to the poor of Morley, the use of it to be paid yearly.

Samuel Hibbert left £5 to the poor of Morley for ever.

Dame Goodale’s Dole left 20s. yearly, one half to Morley, and one half to Smalley. At the Morley enclosure, land was allotted to E. S. Sitwell, Esq., subject to this payment.

Michael Abbot left £20 to the poor of Morley, the interest to be paid yearly for ever on the 4th of August. These, with others, are carried to one fund, and distributed amongst the poor, the first Sunday after Christmas.

TOWNSHIP OF SMALLEY—John and Samuel Richardson, in 1712, conveyed to Wm. Woolley and others, a messuage in Horsley Woodhouse and several closes of land, on trust, that the said Wm. Woolley and others should purchase a piece of land and build a school house. The yearly sum of £10 to be paid to a schoolmaster for teaching 12 poor boys to read, write, and cast accounts; and that they should pay to 12 poor boys 8d. per week a-­piece, for every week they should come to school, to be paid at the end of every 13 weeks; the residue of the rents to be given as follows, viz.:—one-third to the schoolmaster, and two-thirds amongst the 12 poor scholars, pensioners; 7 poor boys might be of Smalley, and the rest of Heanor and Horsley Woodhouse, to be scholars and pensioners. New trustees were appointed in 1826, for whom John Radford, Esq., is actuary. The property is situ­ated in Horsley Woodhouse, and out of the rents, now £88 per annum, there is paid to a schoolmaster a salary of £40, £6 of which is for teaching a Sunday school. About 65 scholars attend, of which number 28 are on the foundation, viz.:—16 boys of Smalley, 7 of Heanor, and 5 of Horsley Wooodhouse, the others pay,—lst class, 4d., and the other classes, 2d. per week each, but boys from any other parish than those above-named, pay 6d. and 4d. per week respectively. There is a school house with residence for the master ad­joining, built in 1721. Mr. Wm. Johnson is the master.

Samuel Richardson, in 1711, gave to his executors £400 in trust, to be laid out in land. He directed the rents should yearly be paid, and divided on the feasts of Christmas, Lady-day, St. John the Baptist, and Michaelmas, in equal portions, amongst 10 poor col­liers, disabled or infirm by accident, old age or otherwise, and inhabitants of Smalley, Horsley Woodhouse, Heanor, or Mapperley; and he directed that no such colliers of the last named three places should be sharers of the said profits, if there should be the number of 10 poor colliers in Smalley. The property is situate in Horsley Woodhouse township, and consists of a farm house and 28A. of land, let at £40 a year, to which it was raised in 1811.

James and others’ charities —The sums of 10s., 10s., and £2 10s., received by the overseer of Smalley, in respect of Edward James, Dame Goodales, and Jacinth Sach­everell, mentioned at Morley, are distributed by him amongst the poorest families, at Christmas, in sums varying from 1s. to 2s.

Rev. Francis Gisborne’e charity,—(See Bradley).—The sum of £6 10s. is distributed by the rector or his curate, in flannel and warm clothing every year.
