CODNOR and LOSCOE are hamlets constituting a township, and
were formed into an ecclesiastical parish, 1 Oct. 1844, from the parishes
of Denby, Heanor and Pentrich. Codnor has a station at Crosshill,
on the Heanor and Ripley branch of the Midland railway, 5 miles south-east
from Alfreton and 6 north-east from Belper, and 2 miles east from
Ripley, in the Ilkeston division of the county, hundred of Morleston
and Litchurch, Smalley petty sessional division, Basford union, Alfreton
county court district (Loscoe being in the Belper and Ilkeston county
court district), rural deanery of Alfreton, archdeaconry of Derby,
and diocese of Southwell : the church of St. James, erected in 1844,
at a cost of £2,000, and situated near the railway station,
about midway between the two villages, is a plain building of stone,
in the Gothic style, consisting of chancel and nave, and an embattled
western tower, with pinnacles, containing one bell: in 1890 the chancel
was entirely rebuilt, a vestry erected, and the church redecorated
and reseated at a cost of £1,500, under the direction of Mr.
J. Holden F.R.I.B.A. : there are 517 sittings. The register dates
from the year 1844. The living is a vicarage, gross yearly value £200,
including 4 acres of glebe, with residence, in the alternate gift
of the Crown and the Bishop of Southwell, and held since 1884 by the
Rev. William Bates, Lic. Theol. of University College, Durham. There
are Wesleyan, Free Methodist, Baptist and Primitive Methodist chapels
here. The cemetery comprises about an acre and adjoins the churchyard;
it is under the control of a Burial Board of 9 members formed in 1876.
The Butterley Company Limited, have large collieries at Baileybrook
and Loscoe which employ a great number of men. In 1705 Jonathan Tantum
left a house, the rent of which averages £11 yearly; two thirds
of this sum (less trustees' expenses) are given to the poor at Christmas,
and the remainder is paid to the trustees of the Heanor Friends' Meeting.
There is another small charity left by the Rev. Francis Gisborne,
of Staveley, amounting to about £2. yearly, which is also distributed
to the poor. The principal landowners are the Butterley Company Limited,
Henry Charles Vickers Hunter esq. of Kilburne, the Ven. Archdeacon
Woolley M.A. rector of East Bergholt, Suffolk, James John Arthur Woolley
esq. and Frederick Channer Corfield esq. J.P. The soil is clayey,
subsoil, clayey. The land is principally pasture. The area is 2,000
acres ; rateable value £ 12,194 ; the population in 1881 of
