GENERAL HISTORY.

Inhabitants and Government.

DERBYSHIRE, which took its name from the county town, was, in the time of the Britons, part of a large district inhabited by the Coritani, During the government of the Romans, it formed part of Britannia Prima. When England became divided, under the Saxon Monarchs, into seven kingdoms, called the Heptarchy, Derbyshire constituted part of Mercia, and Reptou, then called Repandune, appears to have been a residence of the Mercian Kings.

The inhabitants of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire were called the North Mercians, as living for the most part north of the river Trent ; and these two counties long continued to be so far connected in civil polity, that they had but one sheriff for both, till the year 1569. The assizes for both counties were held at Nottingham till the reign of Henry III. They were then held at Nottingham and Derby alternately, till 1569 ; since which time, the assizes for this county have been uniformly held at Derby, except in the year 161 o, when on account of a commotion at Derby, they were, on that occasion, removed to Ashborne. The Epiphany, Easter, and Michael- mas sessions, are now held at Derby,, and the Midsummer sessions, at Ches- terfield. From the year 16 18 till 1797, the Michaelmas sessions had been held at Chesterfield, and the summer sessions at Bakewell.

The Duchy of Lancaster court for the recovery of small debts, the

punishment of trespasses, assaults, &c., which is held at Sudbury, extends

its jurisdiction over the whole county, except the hundred of Morleston

and Litchurch.

The

a 2

iv DERBYSHIRE.

The Peverell a)urt of the same nature *, held at Basford in Nottingham- shire, extends its jurisdiction over many of the townships in the hundred of Scarsdale, the Peak, and the wapentake of Wirksworth.

The barmote courts for the regulation of the mineral concerns of Derby- shire, and determining all disputes relating to the working of the mines, are held at Monyash, in the Peak, and at Wirksworth."'

Philip Kinder, in the preface to his intended History of Derbyshire, written about the middle of the seventeenth century, has the following ob- servations relating to the character and modes of living of the inhauitants of Derbyshire. " The common sort of people, out of a genuine reverence, not forced by feare or institution, doe observe those of larger fortunes, courteous and readie to show the waies and helpe a passenger : you may say they are lazie and idle in a better sense, for (except the grooves) they have not whereon to set themselves on woikc, for all theire harvest and sede tyme is finished in six weeks ; the rest of their tyme they spend in fothering y' cattle, mending their stone inclosures, and in sports.

" The countrie women here are chast and sober, very diligent in their huswifery ; they hate idleness, love and obey their husbands, only in some of the great townes, many seeming sanctificators use to follow the presby- terian gang, and upon a lecture day, putt on theire best rayment, and hereby take occasion to goo a gossiping. Your merry wives of Bentley will some- tymes look in y' glass, chirpe a cupp merrily, yet not indecently. In the Peake they are much given to dance after the baggpipes, almost every towne hath a baggpipe in it.

" Their exercises, for the greate part, is the GymnopaidiOy or naked boy, an ould recreation among the Greeks, with this in foote-races, you shall have in a winters day, tlie earth crusted over witli ice, two agonists, stark naked, runn a foot race for 2 or 3 miles, with many hundred spec- tators, and the betts very small.

" They love their cards. The miners at Christmas tyme, will carry tenn or twenti pounds about them, game freely, returne home againe, all the yeare after good husbands.

' Mrs. Hutchinson, in her memoirs of her husband, speaks of this as an obsolete court, lately revived, in the reign of Charles I. See p. 1 13, 1 14. Under the grant to Lord Middleton, the jurisdiction of this court was extended to many places in Derbyshire, which never formed part of the honor of Peverell. See a list of the Derbyshire townships within this jurisdiction, in the second volume of Pilkington's Derbyshire. Several erroneous names occui- in this list, as they do, indeed, in the original charter.

" For dief, the gentrie, after the southern mode, have two state meales a day, with a bit in y' buttery to a morning draught ; but your peasants exceed the Greeks, who had four meales a day, for the moorlanders add three more ; y" bitt in the morning ; y" anders meate, and the yenders meate, and so make up seaven ; and for certaine y'' great housekeeper doth allow his people especially in summer tyme, so many commessations.

<' The common inhabitants doe prefer oates for delight and strength above any other graine : for here you may find jus nigrum, the Lacedae- monian pottage, to be a good dish, if you bring a Lacedaemonian stomach. It is observed, that tliey have for the most part, fair, long, broad teeth, which is caused by the mastication of their oat bread."

Speaking of persons of eminence connected with Derbyshire, Mr. Kinder calls it "the amphitheatre of renowned persons. The glorious Caven- disli, of the illustrious family of the Cavendishes, who gave the world a o-iidle in two solar revolutions.^ Anthonie Fitzherbert, of the family of J<[orbury, which gave life with law unto the common lawes of England, and in comparison, put the codes with digest into a bag.

f Sir Gilbert Dethick and Sir William Dethick, his son, were successively Garter Kings of Arms in the reigns of Edward VI. and Queen Elizabeth. Sir Gilbert was third son of Robert Dethick, of Derby, steward of Edmund De la Pole, Earl of Suffolk, and yeoman of the ar- moury to King Henry VIII. , who was descended from a younger son of Sir William Dethick, Knight, of Dethick, in this county.

8 Thomas Bancroft was a native of Swarkston, and lived at Bradley ; his poems, which were chiefly satirical and epigrammatical, are very scarce.

Notices of eminent literary and other characters, who have been natives or inhabitants of Derbyshire, will be found in the following work, under the parishes with which they were connected. We have not been able to discover the birtli-places of two literary persons, who are known to have been natives of Derbyshire : Dr. William Outram, a learned divine of the I yth century, who wrote upon Sacrifices ; and Samuel Richardson, author of Sir Charles Grandison, and other novels, which acquired so much celebrity in the reign of George II.

Historical Events.

We have no notices of the military transactions of the Romans in this county. The first historical event which we find on record relating to Der- byshire, is the invasion of the Danes in 874, when they expelled Binrhed from his kingdom, and fixed their head-quarters at Repandun" (now Repton), which had been the royal residence. The Danish army left Repton the next year, in two divisions ; Healfden marching with a detach- ment into Northumberland ; and Godrun, and the other generals, with the main body, into Cambridgeshire."

10 Countess

DERBYSHIRE. vii

Countess of Mercia, daughter of King Alfred, recovered Derbyshire from the Danes. The Danish army, whicli was quartered at Derby, not venturing to come out and oppose her in the field, she boldly attacked the castle, tnd after a severe struggle, in which four of her bravest and favourite "generals were killed at the entrance, she broke down the gate and walls, and took it by storm.' After this, Derby fell again into the hands of the Danes ; for we are told that King Edmund took it from them, with four other towns' , in 942. Some years before this (in 924), King Edward having marched with his army from Nottingham to Bakewell, commanded a fortress to be built in the neighbourhood of the latter place.'

It appears, that during the rebellion of Prince Henry against his father Henry II. the castle of Duffield, in this county, was held against the King, by Robert Earl Ferrars ; for it is related, that, among others who came to make their submission to the victorious monarch, in the month of July, 1 1 74, was that Earl, who then delivered into the King's hands, the castles of Tutbury and Duffield."

During the civil war in King John's reign (in 121 5), William Earl Ferrars, with an armed force, took Bolsover and Peak Castles, which were then in the possession of the rebellious barons."

In the year 1264, King Henry III. sent his son, Prince Edward, into Derbyshire, to wreak vengeance upon Robert Earl of Derby, then one of the most active of the Barons in rebellion against him ; with instructions to lay waste his manors with fire and sword. The Earl, having made his peace, by the promise of a large sum of money ; and having taken fresh oaths of allegiance, broke both his oaths and his promise, and appeared in arms again in Derbyshire, in the year 1266, with Baldwin Wake, (Lord of Chesterfield), John D'Egville, and other Barons and Knights, and assembled a numerous force at Duffield-Frith, whence they marched to Chesterfield. Here they were surprised in their quarters by Henry, the King's nephew,' and the greater part of them put to the sword. The Earl of Derby was taken prisoner, having been betrayed as it is said by a woman, who pointed out the place of his concealment in the church." Wake, D'Egville, and the other Barons and Knights, inade their escape. Some of the KniHits,

with their adherents, withdrew into the forest of the Peak, where they con- tinued for two years, Hving a predatory Hfe/ De Ferrars had his life spared, but was divested of the ICarldom of Derby, with its large possessions, which were given to Edmund Earl of Lancaster, and eventually formed a considerable part of the revenues of the Duchy of Lancaster.

The only incidents deserving notice connected with Derbyshire, from this period till the commencement of the civil wai- in the 17th century, of which we have seen any mention, are, the imprisonment of John Duke of Bourbon for many years in Melbourne Castle, after the battle of Agincourt, and that of Mary Queen of Scots, who, during a captivity of 1 8 years, resided a con- siderable part of the time in this county, under the custody of the Earl of Shrewsbury.^

At the commencement of the ci\'il war, immediately after King Charles had displayed his standard at Nottingham, his first march was to Dei'by. At this time (August, 1642), all Derbyshire, as Sir John Gell observes, declared for the King. He claims the merit of having been the first who appeared in arms in this county for the Parliament. Having before fought under the Earl of Essex, he went, in the month of October, 1 642, to Hull, where he solicited and obtained the command of a regiment of foot, then consisting of 140 men, with which he marched into Derbyshire. Having on the 17th reached Chesterfield, he raised at that place 200 men by beat of drum ; thence he marched to Derby, where he raised a regiment of horse, and garrisoned the town. At this time. Lord Clarendon observes, there was, in Derbyshire, no visible party for the King ; the whole county being under the power of Sir John Gell. Winfield-manor was about this time made a garrison for the Parliament.

Most of tiie particulars in the following brief account are taken from a narrative of the services performed by Sir John Gell, written by himself ", for the purpose of refuting, as it appears, certain charges brought against him after the Independents got into power. There is no doubt that Sir John Gell was an active useful officer in the service of the Parliament during almost the whole of the civil war : this Mrs. Hutchinson, in her Memoirs

^ Cliron. Dunst.

" She was some months at Winficld manor-house in 1 569, and again in 1584. In 1570, she was for some months at Chatvvorth ; and occasionally for a sliort time in succeeding years. She was allowed also to resort to Buxton four times, for her health, under the Earl's charge. By far the greatest part of her captivity was passed at SheiSeld castle, a seat of the Earl of Shrews- bury.

of her husband (a distinguished parliamentary officer of the Independent party), allows ; although she accuses him of being a great boaster, and of having sometimes claimed for himself the merit of services which had been performed by others. She accuses Whitelock also of having given Sir John Gell more than his due share of praise.

The first service which Sir John Gell recounts in his Narrative, is the driving of Sir Francis Wortley and his forces from Wirksworth and the Peak, in November, 1642. Soon afterwards he took Bretby-house, which had been fortified by the Earl of Chesterfield. In the beginning of January following, he took Sir John Harpur's house at Swarkston, and Swarkston- bridge, where he defeated a party of Royalists, in a skirmish, which is called, in the parish-register of All-Saints, in Derby, the battle of Swarkston-

bridge.

Early in this year (1643), the Earl of Newcastle, who was commander-in- chief of the King's forces in the northern and midland counties, placed a garrison in Bolsover Castle. In the month of April, Colonel Thomas Gell (brother of Sir John) took Sutton-house, which had been garrisoned by its owner, Lord Deincourt, after a short resistance. The Earl of Newcastle was with his army at Chesterfield, in May and in December, 1 643 : at one of these periods, he is said to have been successful in an engagement with the Parliamentary forces.

In the course of this year. Sir John Gell mentions that Sir Thomas Fairfax, then commander-in-chief for the Parliament, came to Derby, and stayed there three days, for the purpose of procuring a supply of men from the Der- byshire garrisons : Sir John provided him with 400 from Chatsworth, Winfield, and Wingerworth. In the month of December, the Earl of Newcastle besieged Winfield manor-house, and took it in three days : the command was given to Colonel Molineux. Sir John Gell says, that after the Earl of Newcastle was gone. Colonel Milward quartered his regiment at Bakewell ; Colonel Eyre at Chatsworth, and his own house (Hassop) in the Peak; Colonel Fitzherbert at South-Winfield and Tissington 5 and Colonel Frecheville at his own house (Staveley).

The Parliamentary forces, then at Ashborne, had a successful engagement close to that town, in the month of February 1644, with the Royalists, who in consequence evacuated Tissington and Bakewell, and retired to Chats- worth, Winfield, Staveley and Bolsover. In the month of March, there was an engagement at Egginton-heath, between the Royalists and the Par- liamentarians. The latter were under the command of Captain Rodes and Major Molanus. Sir John Gell claims the victory for the Parliament. This

X DERBYSHIRE.

seems to have been the same battle in which Heath says that the Royalists were victorious, relating the same circumstance which Sir John asserts of the Royalists, as having happened to the parliamentary forces ; that they were driven across the Dove, in which many were drowned.

In the month of April, Sir John Gell and Lord Grey took the pass of Wilne-ferry, and demolished the works constructed by the Royalists on the Leicestershire side of the river. Soon after this, he commenced the siege of Winfield manor-house, then commanded by Colonel Dalby, applying for assistance to Colonel Hutchinson, the governor of Nottingham, who sent him 200 men. The King sent General Hastings to its relief, but his troops were beaten by Sir John Gell ; and Major-General Crawford having arrived with reinforcements from the Earl of Manchester, they opened their batteries, and the garrison was taken after a bombardment of three hours. The governor was killed during the siege. Colonel Gell left two companies in the'house, and marched to Derby. On his route to Winfield, General Crawford took Bolsover Castle and Staveley-house. In October, 1644, Colonel Gell garrisoned Barton-park, for the purpose of watching and annoying the King's garrison at Tutbury.

Whilst the King was moving about with his reduced army (3000 horse), after the battle of Naseby, by quick marches, he passed from Bewdley into Derbyshire, and defeated Sir John Gell in some skirmishes at Sudbury and Ashborne, about the middle of August, 1645. From Ashborne, he marched through the Peak to Don caster.

About the latter end of September, 1645, the governor of Welbeck put a fresh garrison into Chatsworth, with 300 horse, under the command of Colonel Shallcross. Colonel Molanus being sent by Sir John Gell against the garrison, besieged it for fourteen days ; but on hearing of the demo- lition of Welbeck, Bolsover, and Tickhill castles, was commanded by Colonel Gell to return to Derby.

In the month of January 1646, oi-ders were given for supplies for the garrison at Derby ; but that town and Winfield manor-house were dismantled not long afterwards. In 1659, there was an insurrection at Derby against Richard Cromwell.

In the year 1745, Charles James Stuart, commonly called the young pre- tender, having, in the prosecution of his rash enterprize, penetrated Into the heart of the kingdom, entered Derby with his army on the fourth of December. His advanced guard secured the pass at Swarkston-bridge ; but on the evening of the fifth he held a great council, at which, after a warm debate, it was determined, in consequence of the little encourage-

ment he had met with on his march, and the near approach of the Duke of Cumberland with a superior force, to retreat immediately towards the North, a resolution which was carried into effect at an early hour the next morning.

Division of the County, Ecclesiastical and Civil.

The civil subdivisions of Derbyshire, like those of most other northern counties, were anciently called wapentakes. In the Domesday Survey, we find mention of the wapentakes of Scarvedale, Hamestan, Morlestan, Walecross, and Apultre, and a district called Pechefers *; but we gain no information from it, as to the extent of the several districts. The Hundred Roll, a record of the year 1273, speaks of the wapentakes of Peck, Scarvedale, Apeltre^ Repindon, Greselegh, Little-chirch, and Wyrkes- worth. Other records speak of the hundreds of Risley and Sawley. This seems to have been the same district, and probably a part of the wapentake called in the Domesday Survey, Morlestan, and in the Hundred- Roll, Little- chirch, now the hundred of Morleston and Litchurch. The Wirksworth division still retains the name of a wapentake ; the other modern divisions, Appletree, High- Peak, Scarsdale, Repton and Gresley, and Morleston and Litchurch are called hundreds. The hundred of Repton and Gresley, which seems to have been two wapentakes, in 1273, ^^ supposed to answer to the wapentake of Walecross, spoken of in the Domesday Survey ; and the Wapentake of Hamestan there mentioned, is supposed to have consisted chiefly of what is now the hundred of Pligh-Peak.

In the reign of Edward I., the wapentakes of Apeltre and Repington, which had belonged to the crown, were by the King's grant, vested in Edmund Earl of Lancaster.' The wapentake of Greselegh belonged to the heirs of the Earl of Chester ", and the wapentake of Scarvedale to Nicholas Lord Wake. The Lordship of this wapentake ("now the hundred of Scarsdale) has always passed with that of Chesterfield, and is vested in his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, who is lessee under the Duchy of Lancaster of the hundred of the High-Peak.

Tlie liundred of Appletree, of which Lord Vernon is lessee, has been held by the Vernon family on lease under the Duchy of Lancaster, ever since the year 1660. Richard Arkwright, Esq., M. P., is lessee of the wapentake of Wirksworth, under the Duchy. The Lordship of the hun- dred of Repton and Gresley, which has long passed with the manor of Repton, is vested in Sir Henry Crewe, Bart. The hundred of Morleston and Litchurch is in the crown.

Derbyshire is an archdeaconry in the diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, and is divided into six deaneries ; Alto Pecco or High- Peak, Ashborne, Castillar, Chesterfield, Derby, and Repington.

Bakewell, Hope, Tideswell, and their chapelries, Chapel-en-le-Frith and Kniveton, are in the peculiar jurisdiction of the Dean and Chapter of Lich- field; Sawley and its chapelries are in the jurisdiction of the prebendary of that corps, in the church of Lichfield ; Calke, Dale- Abbey, and Hartington, with the chapel of Sterndale, and Peak-P'orest chapel, are exempt from ecclesiastical jurisdiction.

According to Wolsey's list, the number of parishes in this county, in the reign of Henry VIH., was 106. Pilkington was very nearly correct in stating them at 116 in 1789 ; the number, as will be seen by the follow- ing table, is 117. There are also forty-nine parochial, and three extra- parochial chapels, in which the rites of baptism and sepulture are performed. Many of these have long been deemed, and are usually described as separate and distinct parishes ; there are thirteen chapels of other descriptions,' and two extra-parochial chapels, in which the rites of baptism and sepulture are not performed.

Fifty of the benefices in Derbyshire are rectories ; fifty-eight vicarages, and nine donatives or perpetual curacies. Of the vicarages, donatives, &c. forty-seven were appropriated to religious houses ; five to the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield, three to the Dean of Lincoln, one (Kniveton) passed by exchange from the former to the latter, and was afterwards alienated to lay hands ; one (Tibshelf ) was appropriated to the vicars-choral of Lichfield, two to the Bishop of Carlisle, one (Scropton) to a chantry in the parish church, and one (Longford) to the sine cure rector.

Monasteries, Colleges, and Ancient Hospitals.

The Austin canons had a considerable abbey at Darley, near Derby, removed from St. Helen's, in the outskirts of that town. They had priories also at Repton and Gresley ; the former priory had a cell at Calke. Dale Abbey was originally inhabited by Austin canons ; these were soon suc- ceeded by Premonstratensians, and it continued of that order till its dissq- lution : the Premonstratensians had also an abbey at Beauchief. A piece of ground at Ashborne was given for the erection of a cell for Cistertians belonging to Mireval Abbey, in Warwickshire * ; but it does not appear that the intention was ever carried into effect. The Cluniac monks oi' Bermondsey had a cell at Derby : the Benedictine nuns had a priory at that

town. The Dominican friers had a priory also at Derby j the Austin friers a priory at Breadsall. The Knights Hospitallers had preceptories at Bar- row'^ and Yeaveley ; and it has been supposed that they had one also at Waingrif. The brethren of St. Lazarus had a preceptory, or hospital at Locko, formerly called Lokhay. The church of All Saints in Derby and that of Bakewell, were collegiate. There were two ancient hospitals at Derby. We have records of ancient hospitals also at Chesterfeld ; in the parish of Longford, between Bentley and Alkmanton ; and in the High-Peak, be- tween Hope and Castleton.

■Borough and Market Towns.

The only parliamentary borough in the county is that of Derby, which has sent two members to parliament ever since the reign of Edwafd I. The county also sends two members. There are now sixteen market-towns, of which the following table will give the particulars. A list of Fairs is subjoined.

Population.

Venerable Bede, who wrote before the year 730, estimated the number of famihes in that part of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, which was north of Trent ' at 7000.

The number of lay persons inDerbyshire, assessed in theyear i377to a poll- tax, from which none but mendicants and children under fourteen years of age were exempted, was 24,289; the number of the religious of both sexes, who were taxed separately, was 456. Mr. Pilkington, who had been taking consi- derable pains to ascertain the population of the county ; and for some years previously to the publication of his work in 1789 ^ had procured an actual enumeration of the inhabitants °, as well as the houses ", in several parishes, makes the number of inhabitants 124,465 ; in 1801, they were 161,142 ; in 181 1, 185,487; according to the returns made to parliament at those

periods,

' (North Mercia) See Bede's Ecclesiastical History, in Scriptores Vetustiores, p. 213. ' His collections on this subject seem to have been made mostly in 1783 and 1784.

* Besides the town of Derby, (see the Parochial History,) the parishes where the inhabitants were enumerated, were Doveridge 750, Hartshorn 406, Melbourne 1410, Mickle-Over 864, and Whittington 605.

* The following Table will exhibit the number of houses in each parish, according to Mr. Pilkini,-toii'; enumeration, made in 1783, 1784, &c.

periods, exhibiting an increase of more than 60,000 inhabitants in little more than thirty years. This is to be attributed to the great extension of manufactures, particularly at Derby, Belper, the parishes of Glossop, Chesterfield, and its neighbourhood, and the villages on the Nottingham- shire side of the county.

The only estates which have continued in the descendants of those wlio were their possessors at the time of the Domesday Survey, are some manors of the Gresley family, which have passed to tlieni in uninterrupted succes- sion from their ancestor Nigel de Statford. Tlie greater number of the estates of Henry de Ferrars, were parcelled out among liis retainers, not long after the date of this survey, by Henry de Ferrars, and his son Robert, the first Earl Ferrars. Among those who had grants from the former, we find tl'.e ancestor of the Fitzherberts, wiio still possess the estates then granted. The manors which were retained by the Ferrars family in their own hands, were forfeited by Robert, Earl of Derby, in the reign of Henry HI., and became parcel of the duchy of Lancaster.

Ralph Fitzhubert was ancestor of the Frechevilles, who continued to possess estates in Derbyshire till the extinction of the family in the reign of Charles H. The estates of Walter Deincourt continued in his descendants tdl they became divided between coheiresses in the i-eign of Henry VI. The estates of the Barons Musard passed to coheiresses in the reign of Edward H. ; a marriage with one of them increased the landed property of the Frechevilles.

The estates of William Peverel, Geoffry Alselin (the heiress of whose family married Bardolf), Ralph de Burun and Roger Busli, passed out of those families at an early period.

Among the possessors of considerable landed property in the reign of Henry H. we find only the Shirleys and Curzons who retain any part of it at the present day. Among the larger landed proprietors of lator date, may be mentioned the Vernons of Haddon, whose estates have passed by inheritance to the Duke of Rutland ; the Longfbrds and Leakes, whose estates have beer, dispersed ; the Montgomerys, whose estates passed by inheritance to Lord Vernon's ancestors, and the representatives of t!ie other coheiress ; the Stanhopes, whose estates are now held by the three noble families of that name ; the Talbots, and Cavendishes.

The estates of Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, in Derbyshire have been partly divided among coheii'esses, and have partly passed by gift of Eliza- beth, Countess of Shrewsbury, to the family of Sir William Cavendish, her husband. These estates, with numerous grants of abbey lands, have passed to his descendant, the Duke of Devonshire, who has by far the largest landed property in the county, and is lessee, under the crown, of the greater portion of the ancient Ferrars estate, which was annexed to the duchy of Lancaster.

Nobility of the County.

The noble family of Howard became possessed of the manor of GIossop, in this county, by marriage with one of the coheiresses of Talbot, Earl of Slirewsbury. Having been settled on a younger branch of the family, Glossop-hall was the property, and occasionally the residence, of Bernard j'j^Si^^ Howard, Esq., before he succeeded to the title of Duke of -, Norfolk, on the death of his cousin the late Duke, in 1815. Arms: — Gules, on a bend, between six cross-crosslets, fitchee, Argent, an escutcheon, Or ; therein a demi-lion rampant (pierced through the mouth with an arrow), within a double tressure, flory counter-floiy.

Cavendish, Duke of Devonshire. — Sir William Cavendish, descended liom an ancient family who took their name from Cavendish in Suffolk^ the place of their residence, settled in Derbyshire in consequence of his mar- riage with the heiress of Hard wick, about the year 1544; by which match he became possessed of Hardwick-hall, and other estates. Having been an active and useful instrument in the business of the Reformation, he obtained several grants of manors and lands in this county, which had belonged to reli- gious houses ; was raised to the dignity of a Privy-counsellor, and appointed by King Henry VHI. to the office of Treasurer of the Chamber. In the reign of Edward VI. he purchased Chatsworth, ever since one of the principal seats of his noble descendants, of the family of Agard, and began to build on the site of the old hail a mansion, which was finished by his widow. This lady, more celebrated as the Countess of Shrewsbury, built a new mansion at Hardwick, which appears to have been the chief seat of Sir William Caven- dish, their elder son : this Sir William was created Baron Cavendish, of Hardwick, in 1605, and in 16 18, Earl of Devonshire. His great-grandson, the fourth Earl, one of the first and most zealous promoters of the Revolu-

Manners, Duke of Rutland. — Sir John Manners, second son of the first Earl of Rutland, became possessed of Nether-Haddon, and large estates in Derbyshire, in consequence of his marriage with the coheiress of Sir George Vernon who died in 1561. Upon the death of George, seventh Earl of Rutland, in 1641, the elder branch of that noble family having be- come extinct, John Manners of Nether-Haddon, grandson of Sir John above- mentioned, succeeded to the title, and Haddon-hall became, for some time, one of the principal seats of the Earls of Rutland, as it was of the first Duke, who was raised to that dignity in 1703: it is now the property of his Grace, John Henry, the present Duke, but has not been for many years inhabited by the family. The first Duke of Rutland, during the life of his father, John, eighth Earl of Rutland, was summoned to par- liament by writ, as Baron Manners of Haddon. Sir Roger Manners, a younger son of Sir John, who married the coheiress of Vernon, settled at Whitwell in this county ; he died without issue.

Sir Michael Stanhope had grants of abbey lands in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Shelford, in the former county, was for several generations, the chief seat of this family. Sir Thomas Stanhope, son of Sir Michael, became possessed of considerable estates in Derbyshire, in consequence of his marriage with the coheiress of Sir John Port, who was one of the re- presentatives of the Montgomerys of Cubley ; and in the year 1585, he pur- chased the manor and park of Bretby, now the principal seat of this noble family. Philip, the grandson of Sir Michael, was created, in 161 6, Baron Stanhope of Shelford, and in 1628, Earl of Chesterfield.

this county, the Shirleys and Iretons, each having been denominated fiom the place of their residence. Sewall, who having settled at Shirley, took the name of De Shirley, died about the year 1129; his son married the heiress and assumed the arms of Clinton ; his grandson, Sewall, married a coheiress of Meynell.

John, grandson of the last-men- tioned Ralph, married the heiress of Lovett. His son George was created a Baronet in 161 1. Sir Henry Shirley, the second baronet, married a coheiress of Devereux, Earl of Essex, through whom the barony of Ferrars of Chartley came into the family. Sir Robert Shirley, grandson of Sir Henry, (being the seventh baronet,) was declared, in 1678, Lord Ferrars of Chartley'', and, in 171 1, was created Viscount Tamworth and Earl Ferrers; the two last-mentioned titles are now enjoyed by his grandson, Robert, the present and seventh Earl Ferrers. The old seat of the family, at Shirley, has long been destroyed.

The said Elizabeth Shirley was also, through her mother who was daughter of Sir Humphrey Ferrers, of Walton-on-Trent in Derbyshire, and grand-daughter and heiress of Sir John Ferrers of Tam- worth, the representative of the other great branch of the ancient family of Ferrers or Ferrars, that of Groby and Tamworth.

CuRZON, Lord Scarsdale. — The ancient family of Curzon, or as it is fre- quently spelt in records, Curson, were settled at Kedleston, their present seat, and at Croxall, as early as the reign of Henry I. The Croxall branch, which appears to have been the elder, became extinct by the death of Henry Curzon, Esq. in 1639. The daughter and sole heiress of Sir George Curzon, Knt.

This Richard died without male issue, leav- ing a daughter and heiress, married to Gilbert le Francis, whose son Ri- chard'' took the name of Vernon, settled at Haddon-hall, and was common ancestor of the Vernons of Haddon, Stokesay, Hodnet, Sudbury, &c. The elder line of the Haddon branch of the Vernons became extinct in 1561, by the death of Sir George Vernon, one of whose coheiresses brought Haddon, as before-mentioned, to Sir John Manners, ancestor of the Duke of Rutland. A coheiress of Camville, the heiresses of Pembrugge, and Ap-Griffith (who married the heiress of Stackpoole), and a daughter of Swynfen, who was heiress to Pype and Spernore, married into the Haddon branch of the Vernon family.

Sir John Vernon, a younger son of Sir Henry Vernon, of Haddon, settled at Sudbury in the reign of Henry VIII., in consequence of having married one of the coheiresses of Montgomery ; his grandson, John, dying without issue, this branch of the family became extinct. He bequeathed his estates to the issue of his widow by her first husband, Walter Vernon, of Houndshill, in Staffordshire. Sir Edward Vernon, the elder son, who settled at Sudbury, married the heiress of a younger branch of the Vernons, who were of Hilton, in Staffordshire ; Henry, his son, married the heiress of Sir George Vernon, of Haslington, in Cheshire, one of the Justices of the Common Pleas, by which match his posterity became the representa-

Sir John Leake, the younger, married the heiress of Hilary, alias Grey ; his father, the heiress of Towers.

These titles became extinct by the death of Nicholas, the fourth Earl, and the last of tlie Leake family, in 1736.

Ferrars, Earl Ferrars and of Derby. — Henry de Ferrars possessed nu- merous manors in Derbyshire, by gift of William the Conqueror ; his son, Robert, appears to have been the first Earl Ferrars. Robert, the second Earl Ferrars, was, according to Vincent (on the authority of Ordericus Vi- talis), created Earl of Derby, in 1138. His son, William, Earl Ferrars and of Derby, married the heiress of Peverel. William, the third Earl of Derby, married the coheiress of Blundeville ; his son, the fourth Earl, one of the coheiresses of Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, by whom he had seven daughters, and afterwards one of the co-heiresses of Quincy, Earl of Win- chester, by whom he had two sons and a daughter. Robert, the succeed- ing and fifth Earl of Derby, was dispossessed of his estates, and deprived of his Earldom, for his repeated acts of rebellion, in the reign of Henry HI. : he died in 1278. His descendants enjoyed the title of Lord Ferrars, of Chartley, but had no longer any connection with this county. The last Lord Ferrars, of Chartley, died in or about the year 1449. His daughter and heiress married Sir Walter Devereux ; and the barony, having passed through the families of Shirley and Compton, is now enjoyed by Marquis Townshend. The Earls of Derby had a castle at Duffield. After the title of Earl of Derby had been taken from the Ferrars family, it was given, with that of Lancaster, to several of the blood-royal of the Plantagenets. Melbourne Castle was one of the seats of Edmund, Earl of Lancaster. King Henry VIL conferred the title of Earl of Derby on the Stanley family, in whom it has ever since continued. The Tamworth branch of the Fer- rars family had for some time a seat at Walton-upon-Trent, in this county. The heiress of this branch having married Robert Shirley, his descendant Marquis Townshend is representative of this branch, as well as that of Ferrars of Chartley.

Nobleme7i''s Seats.

Mr. Kinder, speaking of the Nobility of Derbyshire, says, " No countie in England hath so manie princelie habitations, the theatie of hospitalitie, and seats of fruition ; as Bolsover, Haddon, Hardwick, another escurial, Brettby, Sutton, Olcoates. In tymes past, the Castle of the Peake, for the honour of Peverell ; Codnor, for the Lord Grey ; Elvaston, for the family of Blount, Lord Mountjoye ; the Earls of Shrewsbury at Buttons ^ ; and Elizabeth, Countess of Shrewsbury, at Chatsworth.""

The present noblemen's seats are, Chatsworth, the chief seat, and Hard- wick, an occasional residence, of the Duke of Devonshire ; Elvaston, the seat of the Earl of Harrington ; Sudbury, of Lord Vernon ; and Kedleston, of Lord Scarsdale. Bretby, the seat of the Chesterfield family, is shut up, during the minority of the present Earl. Haddon and Bolsover, belonging to the Dukes of Rutland and Portland, although the buildings are kept up, have many years ceased to be inhabited by those noble families. The Duke of Rutland has lately fitted up a Hall on the banks of the Derwent, in the parish of Youlgrave, called Stanton- Woodhouse, for the purpose of an occasional residence during the shooting-season. Sutton is a seat of the Marquis of Ormond, of the kingdom of Ireland, in right of his wife. Do- veridge is the seat of Lord Waterpark, of the kingdom of Ireland ; Hassop of the Earl of Newburgh, of the kingdom of Scotland.

The only remains of ancient seats of the nobility are those of Codnor Castle, formerly belonging to the Lords Grey, and Winfield manor-house, the seat of the Earl of Shrewsbury.

s It seems probable, that this was a name sometimes given to South-Winfield manor-house, of which Mr. Kinder makes no mention ; yet it had been inhabited by the Slirewsbury family not many years before his time. We know of no place in Derbyshire now called Buttons, nor have wc seen any record of such.

Sir Andrew had a younger brother, Thomas, and three sisters married to Sir Aston Cokaine, Pegge of Yeldersley, and Henry Neville. We have not been able to find when the title became extinct ; but Collins, in his Baronet- age of 1720, says that Sir Thomas Kniveton, one of the Gentlemen Pen- sioners in the reign of Charles II. was supposed to have been the last Baronet. This Sir Thomas continued to belong to the band of Gentlemen Pensioners, in the early part of King Wdliani's reign, and was living in 1690.

FoLJAMBE, of Walton, 1622. — The first of this family of whom we have any account in the pedigrees, is Sir Thomas Foljambe, whose son, Sir Thomas, appears to have been settled at Darley. Sir Godfrey, son of the last-mentioned Sir Thomas, died in or about the year 1376 ; his son Thomas married the heiress of Loudham, of Walton near Chesterfield, which was the seat of his posterity for several generations. Sir James and Godfrey, sons of Sir Godfrey, who was great-grandson of Thomas above-mentioned, married the coheiresses of Fitzwilliam of Aldwark. George, a third son, was of Barlborough, where his elder son, Henry, was living in 1569. Francis Foljambe, Esq. descended from Sir James, who married one of the coheiresses of Fitzwilliam, was created a Baronet in 1622. The title, and the elder branch of the family became extinct at his death. Aldwark, in Yorkshire, inherited from Fitzwilliam, continued to be the seat of a younger branch, till that also became extinct, in the male line, about the year 1740;
