| 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: Derby engraving | Belper engraving This page is linked from the Parishes Index, GENUKI Derbyshire  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 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. |
