About This Book

A local descriptive guide surveys the archaeology, architecture, and recorded history of a Derbyshire village and its surroundings. It traces early Christianization, the establishment and later suppression of monastic foundations, medieval church development, and the foundation and evolution of the local school, while detailing structural features such as the crypt, bells, tile-kiln, and surviving monuments. Chapters provide registers, plans, photographs, and lists of consulted sources, followed by illustrated excursions to nearby villages, churches, and estates. The narrative combines documentary extracts, topographical description, and antiquarian observation to assist residents and visitors in exploring the district's historical fabric.
