SHARDLOW is a parish and head of a union, on the borders of
Leicestershire, 1½ miles north from Castle Donington station,
on the Trent and Melbourne branch, 2½ south-west from Draycott
station on the Trent and Derby branch, 4½ east from Trent Junction
on the main line of the Midland railway and 7 south-east-by-east from
Derby, in the Southern division of the county, hundred of Morleston
and Litchurch, Derby petty sessional division and county court district,
rural deanery of Melbourne, archdeaconry of Derby and diocese of Southwell.
The Trent and Mersey canal runs through and joins the river Trent,
about half a mile below the village, having on its banks and branches
various coal and timber wharfs. Cavendish bridge, of three arches,
over the Trent, erected in 1771 at a cost or £3,333, is about
a quarter of a mile from this village. The church of St. James, erected
in 1838, is a building of stone in the Early Perpendicular style,
consisting of chancel and nave, north and south porches and an embattled
western tower with pinnacles, containing a clock and 6 bells : the
chancel windows and one each side of the nave are stained : there
are 500 sittings. The register dates from the year 1839. The living
is a rectory, average tithe rent-charge £52, gross yearly value
about £300, including 87½ acres of glebe, in the gift
of the representative8 of James Sutton esq. and held since 1851 by
the Rev. John Eaton M.A. of Trinity College, Cambridge. There is a
Wesleyan chapel here, built in 1829, with 200 sittings. Here also
is an extensive brewery and malthouses, worked by Messrs. Z. Smith
and Co. Shardlow Hall, the seat of Edward Sutton esq. J.P. is a mansion
of stone, erected in 1684. Shardlow House, the property of Edward
Sutton esq. and now tenanted by Joseph Marshall, was erected in 1726,
as appears by the quaint leaden water pipes bearing grotesque castings
of birds and other animals. The principal landowners are the Rev.
William Roby Burgin M.A. Edward Sutton esq. J.P. the Earl of Harrington
and Edward Charles Shuttleworth Holden esq. J.P. of Aston Hall, who
is lord of the manor. The soil is loamy ; subsoil, gravel. The chief
crops are oats, wheat, barley and pasture land. The area is 1,100
acres ; rateable value, £4,334 ; the population in 1881, including
Great Wilne, was 867, and 5 officers and 131 inmates at the workhouse. GREAT OR FAR WILNE is a small village, through which the river Derwent passes and afterwards joins the Trent.
