THORP
"in Domesday called Torp, ia a very agreeable little village with a small church, seated upon the brow of a hill, and so surrounded with trees as to be highly picturesque. The living is a rectory, and the church is dedicated to St. Leonard; the Dean of Lincoln is the patron.
A little to the North of the village, is Thorp Cloud, a conical hill, of very steep ascent, which rises to a great height. Near this is a tolerably good descent, into a deep hollow called Bunster-Dale; one side of which is bounded by a steep acclivity, finely covered with wood ; and the other by a range of lofty crags, of wild, uncouth appearance. Passing through this narrow ravine (where the eye is prevented from excursion, and the mind thrown back on itself) for half a mile, a sudden turn, presents the eye, with the southern entrance of the far-famed and romantic Dove-Dale, a name it received from the river Dove, pouring its water through the valley. [There are then several pages of description, not included here]
At Wooton-Hall, near Dove-Dale, Hume procured a place of retreat, for that singular character and ingenious writer Jean Jacques Rousseau. Flying from a persecution which his exuberant imagination pictured, as thickening around him on the continent, he arrived in London in January, 1766 ... about the latter end of March he settled in Derbyshire. ... From this abode, however, he issued in January 1767, with his usual eccentricity, inflamed by an imaginary affront ... and returned to the continent".

TIBSHELF
"is by the Norman surveyors written Tibecel. In the ninth of Edward the Second^[1] there was a church at this place, the advowson of which was appropriated to the priory of Brewood. The present living is a vicarage, and the church is dedicated to St. John the Baptist. The number of inhabitants in Tibshelf is about six hundred and eighty, who are principally employed in the colliery, and in the manufacture of stockings.
There is a chalybeate spring at Tibshelf; but the impregnation is not very great. About a century and a half ago, it was in great repute and drank throughout the summer season : now, however, it is not much frequented".
In the Deanery of Chesterfield.

TICKNALL
"in Domesday Tichenhalle, is an extensive parish, and a large village, consisting of near two hundred houses. The living is a donative curacy, of the clear value of £26. The church is dedicated to St. Thomas Becket; and in former times was part of the endowment of the priory at Repton. Sir Henry Crewe is the patron. The lime kilns find employment for many during the summer season; while the pursuits of agriculture employ several more".
In the Deanery of Repington.

TIDESWELL
"is a small market town, situated in a bottom, which is surrounded on all sides by barren and desolate moors. It is supposed to have received its name from an ebbing and flowing well, situated in a field near the town, but which has now ceased to flow for more than a century. The manor anciently belonged to William Peveril,and being afterwards vested in king John, was given by him to his esquire, whose female descendant, in Richard the Second's time^[2], being married to a Stafford, obtained a grant of a weekly market, and a yearly fair to be held here. The estate afterwards came to the Merrills or Meverills, of Throwley, in Staffordshire ; and was conveyed, by the marriage of an heiress, to Lord Cromwell, of Oakham, in Rutlandshire, one of whose descendants sold it, between the death of Charles the First and the period of the Restoration, to the Eyres of Highlow. Since the death of John Archer, Esq. of Welford, in Berkshire, the male heir of this family, this manor has been sold, under the authority of the Court in Chancery, to the Duke of Devonshire.
At the compilation of Domesday, there were a church and a priest in Tidessuuelle ; and king John in the year 1215, gave the chapel at Tideswell, as well as the church at Hope, to the canons of Litchfield, for their common provision of bread and beer. The present church was erected in the fourteenth century, as appears from an inscription on a flat stone in the chancel, to the memory of John, son of Thomas Foljambe, who died in 1358 ; and is said to have contributed much towards the building of the edifice. The church is a handsome building of the conventional form, with a neat tower to the west end, terminated by eight pinnacles ; those at the angles rising from octagonal bases, and being much higher than the intermediate ones. The living is a vicarage, the church is dedicated to St. John the Baptist, and the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield are the patrons.
In the church is a raised tomb to the memory of Sampson Meurill, who was born in 1388, and died in 1462. It appears from the inscription, that, in the spate of two years, he was in eleven battles in France, where he served under the command of the great Duke of Bedford, who knighted him at St. Luce, and made him Knight Constable of England, &c. On his tomb, bread is given away every Sunday, to some indigent parishioners. Another monument records the memory of a native of Tideswelle, named Robert Pursglove, described as a Prior of Gisburn Abbey, Prebend of Rotherham, and Bishop of Hull, who died in the year 1579. Henry the Eighth^[2] allowed him a pension, in reward for his ready compliance, with his wishes ; his conduct, as Dugdale records, being so very obsequious, that, after he had surrendered his own house, he was employed as a commissioner to persuade others to do the like. At the beginning of Queen Mary's reign^[2], he was made Archdeacon of Nottingham, Suffragan of Hull, &c. but refusing to take the oath of supremacy to Elizabeth I^[2], he was deprived of his Archdeaconry, and other spiritualities, in the year 1560. He afterwards retired to this town and founded a Grammar-School, which adjoins the churchyard ; and a Hospital for twelve poor people. In the south transept is a tomb, with whole-length figures of a man and a woman, of whom nothing is with certainty known ; but tradition represents them as the effigies of Thurstan de Bower and his wife, who are said to have built the transept.
The town of Tideswell consists of two rows of low houses, built of rough gray stones, on the opposite sides of a clear rivulet. The weekly market is held on Wednesday, but it is not much attended. The place consists of about 250 houses, and 1100 inhabitants, who are supported chiefly by the mining business".

TISSINGTON
"Tizinetun. The liberty contains about forty-four houses and one hundred and ninety-two inhabitants. The living is a curacy; and the church is dedicated to St. Mary. It formerly belonged to the priory at Tutbury.
Near Tissington is Tissington Hall, the ancient seat of the Fitzherberts, who have resided here since the end of the fifteenth century. The estate, in more remote times, belonged to the Savages and from them descended to the Herthulls and Meynells.
That portion of the estate which belonged to the latter, came by inheritance to the Fitzherberts, (who came originally from Norbury) through the families of Clinton and Fraunceys, about the commencement of the fifteenth century. The part that was in possession of the Herthulls, descended from them to the Cokaines of Ashbourn, who sold it to the Fitzherberts, in the reign of James the First. William Fitzherbert, Esq. of this place, who died in 1772, left two surviving sons, William and Alleyne. William, who was Recorder of Derby in 1783, was raised in the same year to the dignity of a Baronet, and died in 1791. He left several children, the eldest of whom, Sir Henry Fitzherbert, Bart. is now possessor of the estate and title.
Alleyne, the brother of Sir William, has attained some degree of political eminence. He has been minister at Brussels, Petersburgh, and Madrid; secretary to the Marquis of Buckingham, when Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; and in 1782 negociated the peace of which preliminaries were signed at Paris, in the January of the following year. He was raised to an Irish Peerage, in 1791; and to a Peerage of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801, by the title of Baron of St. Helen's".

In the fifteenth year of Edward II^[1], Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, being pursued by the king, placed his foot on each side of the bridge at Burton, to prevent his passage over the Trent.

WESTON
[Weston-on-Trent] "At the Norman survey, we find that in Westune (Weston) "with the Berewicks, Earl Algar had ten caracutes of land, and two ox-gangs and a half to be taxed. Land to as many ploughs. There are now in the desmense three ploughs and twenty-four villanes and six bordars, having twelve ploughs, and four farmers paying sixteen shillings. There are two churches and a priest, and one mill of nineteen shillings and fourpence, and fifty-one acres of meadow. Pasture half a mile long, and three quarentens broad. Value in King Edward's time £8. now £16."
Weston was distinguished by some peculiar privileges, in the reign of King John.^[3] By a patent granted in the sixteen year of his reign, the inhabitants were exempted from all services of counties, hundreds, tithings and wapentakes; from the appearance of frank-pledge; from aids and charities; from demands, gratifications and complaints, to which the villages and bailiwicks are subject. The church is dedicated to St. Mary; and the living is a rectory, under the patronage of Sir R Wilmot. Its value in the king's books is £11 16s. 3d. and yearly tenths, £1 3s. 7½d'. 'The parish of Weston is not very extensive, and the number of houses is not great. The village is situated near the canal and the Trent, and the inhabitants have been much employed in the navigation upon each".

WHITTINGTON
"At the compilation of Domesday, Witintune was a bailiwick in the manor of Newbold. The living is a rectory, and the church is dedicated to St. Bartholemew. The village is small.
Whittington had the honor of witnessing the beginning of that association, which does so much credit to those who embarked their lives and fortunes in it, and the happy result of which we are all feeling at the present time. No longer able to bear the arbitrary measures of James the Second, nor the destruction of the protestant religion, which he evidently meditated, a few Worthies, whose names will ever be dear to the lovers of British freedom, in the year 1688, met each other on Whittington-moor, for the express purpose of devising some means, for rescuing their country from the double slavery with which it was threatened.
[There follows an account of the meeting at the Revolution House to discuss the overthrow of the King. This is described more fully in The Gentleman's Magazine Library elsewhere on the web site; the information provides both descriptions of the house and the event itself. There is also an engraving of the Revolution House]
In an enclosure not far from the village, is a chalybeate spring, which from the tests employed, has been found to contain about the same quantity of iron as those situated at Quarndon and Buxton. The respect in which it differs from them most materially is that it parts more freely with the fixed air, with which it is impregnated".

WINGERWORTH
"in the time of the Conqueror^[2], was a soke of the manor of Newbold, and is written Wingreurde. In the twenty-fifth year of Edward I.^[4] there was a church here; as Henry de Brailsford was possessed of its advowson. The living is a curacy: under the patronage of Dean of Lincoln. 'The parish is thought to contain about 310 inhabitants, many of whom find employment at the works, carried on here, of smelting iron ore.
WINGERWORTH-HALL, the mansion of Sir Windsor Hunloke, Bart. is a spacious building, standing in an elevated situation, and commanding several extensive prospects into the neighbouring country. The family of Hunloke is of considerable antiquity; and in the reign of Henry VIII. was possessed of some considerable estates in Middlesex and Nottinghamshire. The Wingerworth estate was anciently the property of the Brailsfords, and descended from them to the Curzons of Kedleston, who sold it; in the time of Queen Elizabeth, to Nicholas Hunloke. Henry, the fourth in descent from the first possessor, was distinguished for his attachment to Charles the First: He lent the king a considerable sum of money: raised and accoutered a troop of horse for his service: and in the twenty-second year of his age, signalized himself at the battle of Edge-Hill, where he was knighted: soon afterwards he was created a Baronet. During the Commonwealth, the family were obliged to quit Wingerworth, which was converted into a garrison for the forces Parliament: but Sir Henry Hunloke's widow, marrying one of Cromwell's Officers, the mansion did not suffer any great injury, and the estate was preserved in the family, Since that period, the family have regularly resided here, with the same title as the original proprietor, to the present time. The Hall, now standing, was built between the years 1726 and 1730, by Sir Thomas Windsor Hunloke, grandfather of the present possessor.
On Stainedge Cliff, which forms a part of the Wingerworth estate, are several rock-basins, and two seats, supposed by Mr. Rooke to have been appropriated to the purposes of augury".

WINSTER
"anciently Winsterne, is a small market town [a chapelry in the parish of Youlgrave], where a weekly market is held.

On the common, near the town, are several cairns, or stone barrows, and also two or three barrows of earth".

In the Archdeaconry of Derby.

WIRKSWORTH
"is thought to be a town of great antiquity; but its existence cannot be traced back beyond the Conquest. At the Norman survey (1083) there were in "Werchefourde a priest and a church, and sixteen villanes, and nine borders, having four ploughs. There were three lead mines there, and twenty-six acres of meadow." At this time the manor was included in the Wapentake of Hammenstan and the property of King William. In the reign of king John, it became the property of the Earl of Ferrers's family, at the same time as Ashbourn. It was afterwards annexed to the Earldom and Duchy of Lancaster, of which the Manor and, Wapentake of Wirksworth are still members. The present lessee is, Richard Paul Joddrell, Esq. a gentleman well known in the literary world, as an elegant classical scholar.
The Dean of Lincoln has a manor within the town, in right of his church; and the Gells of Hopton have another manor in the town and neighbourhood, called the Holland or Richmond Manor, from its having belonged to the Hollands, Lords Holland, and Dukes of Exeter; and afterwards to the Countess of Richmond, mother to Henry the Seventh. In the Holland Manor-House, the manufacture of Porcelain was attempted, about forty years ago, but proving unsuccessful, it was relinquished.
Wirksworth lies in a low valley, almost surrounded by hills; generally enveloped in the smoke, issuing from the neighbouring lead and calamine works. Here the features of the country, begin to assume a bold and prominent appearance ; cultivation becomes less general, and the enclosures, instead of being encompassed by hedges, are, chiefly, fenced with stone walls.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Mary, is a handsome Gothic building, apparently of the fourteenth century. It consists of a nave, and side aisles, a North and South transept, a chancel, and a square tower, supported on four large pillars in the centre. On the northern side, is the dormitory belonging to the Gells of Hopton, in which are the tombs of Ralph Gell, and his son Anthony, who, in the time of Queen Elizabeth, was a Bencher of the Inner-Temple, and Feodary of Derbyshire ; there are also tablets, to the memory of three Baronets of the same family. The church contains, also, monuments of the Lowes, and Hurts, of Alderwasley, and of the Wigleys, of Wigwell. - On the tomb to the memory of Antonye Lowe, Esq. who, from the inscription, appears to have been employed by the sovereigns, Henry the Seventh, Edward the Sixth, and Queen Mary, is placed a recumbent figure of the deceased, having round the neck, a representation of a chain of gold, and a medallion of Queen Mary, now in the possession of Francis Hurt, Esq. of Alderwasley, his lineal successor.
Near the churchyard is a Grammar-school, founded by Anthony Gell Esq. of Hopton, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth^[5] ; to which, one Agnes Fearne, was a very considerable contributor. The lands left for the maintenance of this charity, produce a rental, equal to the support of a better establishment, than is at present kept up.
There is an Alms-house, established by the same Anthony Gell, at Wirksworth, for six poor men, and endowed with twenty pounds per annum.
The Moot-Hall, is a respectable structure of brick, erected in the year 1773: here all causes respecting the lead mines within the Wapentake are tried; and here is also deposited, the ancient brass dish, which is the standard from which others are made; to measure the lead ore.
The weekly market at Wirksworth, which is held on Tuesday, was obtained in the year 1307, by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, grandson of Henry III. The number of houses, with in the township, is thought to be about 674, with a population of about 2979 inhabitants. The latter derive their chief support from the working of the lead mines; but between 200 and 300 hands are employed in the cotton-mill in the neighbourhood. The town contains some good houses, and is the residence of a few genteel families.
Wirksworth, has scarcely any supply of common water, but has a strong medicinal water of the sulphureous kind. This spring is situated at a small distance from the town, near the road leading to Ashbourn. It contains both sulphur and iron, and is said to be also impregnated with a purging salt ; but the quantity of each is very inconsiderable.
The parish of Wirksworth contains, besides the before-mentioned chapelries [i.e. Alderwasley, Hopton, Middleton and Cromford] the hamlets of Caulow, Biggin, Halton, Hitheridge-Hay and Ashley-Hay, consisting altogether of about 80 houses. In the middle of Biggin, there is a considerable sulphorous spring, of the same impregnation as that of Kedleston".

WORMHILL
"Wruenelle, is another a hamlet in this parish [Tideswell], and contains about 30 houses.; its chapel is dedicated to St. Margaret. Near this little village, is a most romantic and deep hollow, where the river Wye flows beneath a stupendous mass of rock, called Chee Tor, - a vast perpendicular mass of limestone, rising more than 360 feet above the level of the river which meanders at its base. The channel of the river is here confined between huge rocks of limestone, which seem, from their general correspondence of situation and form, to have been once united. In some parts, they are partially covered with brushwood, nut-trees, and mountain-ash ; in others, they are totally naked, precipitous, and impending. The chasm runs in a direction so nearly circular, that the sublime Chee Tor, and its dependant masses of rock, are almost insulated by the river which rolls at their feet. Its length, as far at least as it possesses any considerable beauty, is between five and six hundred yards ; a distance which presents several picturesque and interesting views. Some plantations on the neighbouring heights increase the general effect of the scenery. Near the bottom of the steep descent that leads to this spot from the village, is a strong spring, from which a great quantity of water flows into the river. About midway up the acclivity, the limestone stratum gives way to a mass of toadstone of considerable extent, above which another stratum of limestone occurs. From a particular station in this romantic scene, the four vallies of Wye Dale, Chee Dale, Flag Dale, and Water Dale, may all be seen, together with the Tor and the river : - these dales will afford the Botanist many curious plants.
A small hamlet in the liberty of Wormhill, had the honor of giving birth to that extraordinary genius, the late Mr. Brindley, so celebrated for planning navigable Canals....
JAMES BRINDLEY, was born at Tunsted in the parish (liberty) of Wormhill, Derbyshire, in 1716. His father was a small freeholder, who dissipated his property in company and field-amusements, and neglected his family. In consequence, young Brindley was left destitute of even the common rudiments of education, and till the age of seventeen, was casually employed in rustic labors. At that period he bound himself to one Bennet, a mill-wright, at Macclesfield, Cheshire, where his mechanical genius presently developed itself".
