| The parishes and chapelries as they were
just over 200 years ago. Extracts from an early Derbyshire history |
|
| From : 'History of Derbyshire' by David Peter Davies |
|
"Most of the places described, the author
has himself visited : The northern, and most interesting part
of the county, has engaged a great portion of his attention :
and its remains of antiquity, and objects of curiosity, were
personally inspected during the course of last summer" (Davies,
D. P., Preface).
These transcripts are designed as an aid for amateur genealogists
and for those interested in Derbyshire history, providing information
on the communities within the county from the early nineteenth
century. Whilst place names appear in the book under the various
ecclesiastical divisions existing at the time, they are presented
here in alphabetical order, with the Deanery or Archdeaconry
for the parish shown below each entry.
Included from August 2007 are two wonderful engravings by the
early nineteenth century Derbyshire artist Henry Moore:

An Ann Andrews book transcript
This was one of the first Internet projects I undertook and I
have now added to my earlier work, with a great deal of additional
material. The book, which I own, is long - there are 717 pages
- so it was never my intention to reproduce the volume in its
entirety but the latest additions go a long way towards providing
most of the contents. - A.A. |
