ALFRETON PARISH.                                                               661

 

Ironville, Kirkby, Kirkby Woodhouse, Morton, Newton, Normanton (South), Okerthorpe, Pentrich, Hartshay, Pilsley, Pinxton, Riddings, Ripley, Selston, Shirland, Somercoates, Stretton, Swanwick, Tibshelf, Underwood, Wessington, Wheatcroft, Wingfield (South), Wood Linkin, Woolley Moor. J. T. Cantrell, Esq., Judge; Philip Hubbersty, Esq., of Wirksworth, and Michael Jessop, Esq., Alfreton, are Registrars; and Mr. Wm. Marsh, Wirksworth, High Bailiff.

The Pinxton Canal passes through the parish, and the Midland Railway on its western verge, having a station 1¾ miles west of the town. This town, anciently called Alfre­dingtune, is supposed to have been built by, and derived its name from King Alfred, the site of whose palace is still pointed out. Robert, the son of Ranulph, lord of Alfreton, was one of the four knights who murdered Thomas à-Beckett, Archbishop of Canterbury. In expiation of his guilt, he founded the monastery of Beauchief, to which he gave this church. Alfreton, by marriage, afterwards came into the possession of the family of Chaworth, one of whom was a considerable benefactor to this religious house. The rec­tory of Alfreton, with the advowson of the vicarage, was granted by Henry VIII. to Francis Leake, Esq., whose descendant, Nicholas, Earl of Scarsdale, sold them, in 1673, to John Turner, of Swanwick, gent. The rectorial tithes were sold by auction, about the year 1779, chiefly to the several landowners. The advowson of the vicarage was pur­chased by Geo. Morewood, Esq. The land is all freehold, and abounds in coal and ironstone.

The manor of Alfreton was given by Wulfric, a noble Saxon, and confirmed by Ethelred II., to Burton Abbey. At the Domesday survey, it was held by Ingham, under Roger de Busli. This Ingram was the immediate ancestor of Robert Fitz-­Ranulph, or Fitz-Ralph, lord of Alfreton, who founded Beauchief Abbey. His descendants were denominated De Alfreton. On the death of his great grandson, in 1296, this manor descended to Thomas de Chaworth, his nephew, and Robert de Latham, who had married one of his sisters and coheiresses, to whom a market was granted in 1251. Chaworth purchased Latham’s moiety, and was summoned to parliament as a baron in 1296. William Chaworth, Esq., the last of this branch of the family, left an only daughter and heir in the reign of Henry VII., married to John Ormond, Esq., whose heiress brought it to Sir Anthony Babington, of Dethick. Henry Babington. Esq., the grandson, sold it, about the 1565, to John Zouch, Esq., of Codnor. His son sold it, in 1618, to Robert Sutton, Esq., of Aram, in Nottinghamshire, by whom it was sold, in 1629, to Robert Morewood, Esq., in whose family it continued, and was their residence, till the death of Geo. Morewood, Esq., the last heir male in 1792. His widow, who enjoyed the estate under his bequest, married the Rev. Henry Case, who in 1793, previous to his marriage, took the name of Morewood, by the King’s sign manual.

Alfreton Park, on the west side of the town has been the seat of the Morewood family for upwards of a century. It contains a large handsome stone mansion, beautifully situated on a good elevation, which is seen to great advantage from the Derby road, In 1855-6, great alterations were made to the mansion from the designs, and under the superintendence of Mr. Benj. Wilson, architect, by its present possessor, Wm. Palmer Morewood, Esq.

Greenhill Lane, is a large, improving, but scattered district, 2½ miles S.E. from Alfreton, and half a mile N. from Riddings. The Wesleyan Reformers have a neat chapel here, built in 1854, at a cost of £450, will seat about 300 hearers. In 1749 a labourer found an urn containing about 700 Roman coins here.

Newlands, forming a part of Greenhill Lane, and near to Riddings, consists of several cottages and a farm, the property of James Oakes, Esq., also a good Inn, occupied by Mr. Richard Elnor. The Primitive Methodists have a small chapel here.

RIDDINGS is a considerable village, situated on a new line of road from Nottingham to Manchester, 3 miles S.W. by S. from Alfreton, was anciently a chapelry, but the chapel

has long since been demolished. It is now an Ecclesiastical district, which consists of Riddings, Greenhill Lane, south-east part of Swanwick, Birchwood, nearly all Somercotes and Pye Bridge, with a population in 1851 of 3800 souls; for whom a Church, dedicated to St. James, was erected in 1845, at Riddings, at a cost of £4000; it will accommodate 1000 persons; upwards of 600 sittings are free. It is a handsome stone edifice, in the early English style, with nave, chancel, and lofty spire, with one bell. The commissioners under the late act for promoting the building of additional churches and chapels, furnished £2000 towards the expense, £1000 was raised by subscription, and the remainder from other societies. The living is a perpetual curacy of the value of £150. The vicar of Alfreton is patron, and the Rev. Arthur Chas. Pittar, B.A., incumbent.

Handsome National Schools, with a residence for the master, were built in 1845, at a cost of £2000, raised by subscriptions, aided by a Parliamentary Grant of £245; about 64 boys, 45 girls, and 100 infants attend. The Wesleyan Methodists’ chapel, rebuilt in 1838, is a large brick building, capable of seating 400 persons. The Independent chapel, erected 1821, was enlarged 1839, and will now seat 400 persons.

In 1817 it was the property of Laun­celot Rolleston, Esq., of Watnall; but is now held by Jas. Oakes, Esq.

Ironville, a part of the Riddings manor, together with Codnor Park, a rapidly improv­ing and important district, was made into a new Ecclesiastical District parish, in June, 1850, with a population in 1851 of 2276 souls. It forms the south-east extremity of the parish, and also of the Hundred of Scarsdale, 3½ miles S. E. from Alfreton, having the Cromford Canal, which here enters the Erewash Canal, on the south. The Pinxton Canal also commences here. This forms part of a very busy and populous district, em­ployed in the Iron Works and Furnaces for smelting iron ore. Immense quantities of ironstone are obtained in the immediate neighbourhood, and of Codnor Park, which adjoins Ironville on the south. These establishments formed about 1801, have greatly increased the population, which was, prior to that period, but small, though in early ages Riddings was a place of great consequence. The Church, dedicated to Christ, was built in 1852, at a cost of £6000, by the Butterley Iron Company; it is a handsome stone structure, with nave, transepts, chancel, and tower, with one bell; and contains about 540 sittings, of which 300 are free. An organ was put up at the same time, at a cost of £200 by subscrip­tion. In the chancel are three beautiful stained glass windows, in memory of the late Wm. Jessop, Esq.

SWANWICK, a hamlet and populous village on the Derby road, 1½ miles S.W. from Alfreton, 7 miles N.N.E. from Belper. W. P. Morewood, Esq., and Haslam Brothers have collieries here, and are considerable owners.

Turner; 40 children are educated free.—(See charities). Sleet Moor, a district N.W. Somercotes. About 1 mile S.E. of Alfreton lies the Swanwick Colliery, the property of William Palmer Morewood, Esq. The superior quality of this coal has induced a number of persons to vend a very inferior article in its name, in places where it has never been introduced. The seam is about five feet in thickness, and is raised to the surface by a small engine of eight horses’ power. The works are kept dry by an engine of forty horses’ power, which is also assisted in very wet weather by a smaller one. The coal is conveyed by railway first to the summit of an inclined plane, by means of a small engine of eight horses’ power, the waggons being attached to a wire rope, about 400 yards long. On the summit is a wharf for the sale of coal, near to which is the Alfreton Old Poorhouse, converted into cottages since the New Poor Law came into operation. The situation of the wharf and poorhouse is called Sleet Moor, and about fifty years ago it was a wide common which was used as a race course. The Cromford Canal, at the Swanwick wharf, separates the parishes of Alfreton and Pentrich. The South Wingfield station, on the Midland Railway is distant about two miles.

forth by his answer, 1772, that the mention of the Drunken Closes in the deed of 1736 was a mistake, that in the year 1659, the sum of £100 had been laid out by his ancestors for the £5 payable out of those closes. In 1774, however, it was decreed that the Drunken Closes were part of the charity estate, which now consists of 27A. 0R. 11P., with a cottage and a barn; the rents, amounting to £39, are distributed in sums varying from 5s. to 15s. There is a bed of coal on the estate, and timber to the amount of £54 has been sold.

John Ludlam in 1684, charged his lands at Newton with the payment of 50s. per annum to the most necessitous poor of Scarliff, 10s. to the poor of Bakewell, and 10s. to poor persons in Alfreton Riddings.

Thomas Hunter in 1735, gave his cottage and lands, near Windmill Hill, on trust for the use of the poor of Alfreton, Kilburn, Horsley, Horsley Woodhouse, Ripley, and Wessington, and 10s. yearly to the vicar for preaching a sermon on the day on which he was buried. The rent of the estate is £12 per annum, of which the share of Alfreton is £3 15s. This is given in sums varying from 1s. 6d. to 2s.

Jane Boot in 1795, bequeathed 20s. per annum out of premises in Alfreton to 20 poor widows, to be distributed at the tombstone of her late husband in Alfreton church­yard.

Adam Parker in 1800, devised his estate at Shirland, on trust, to pay five guineas to 20 poor widows; he also left the churchwardens and overseers 5s. yearly for their trouble. The Shadwell Plots and Park Closes are subject to the payment.

Rev. Francis Gisborne’s Charity.—(See Bradley.)—The annual sum of £5 10s., received by the vicar, is expended in warm clothing, and given to the poor.

Swanwick School.—George Turner conveyed a piece of land, to the intent that a charity school should be erected theron. Elizabeth Turner, widow, in 1740, conveyed the sum of £457 17s. new South Sea annuities, on trust, to sell the same, and purchase lands out of the rents thereof, to pay £15 for the instruction of 12 children, Swanwick and Greenhill Lane always to have the preference—the surplus to be laid out in such charitable uses as the trustees shall think fit. In 1741, a sum of £500 arising from the sale of the stock, was invested in 43A. 2R. of land in Swanwick, and in 1816 an allotment was made to the trustees of 2A. 2R. 18P. The schoolmaster occupies the estate, and instructs 40 poor children in reading, writing, and arithmetic. About 4A. of the land has been much injured by coal being got under it. Under an ancient grant from Sir John Zouch, in 1618, to the Morewood family, they are considered to be entitled to work the coals in various lands in Alfreton without making any compensation to the owner.
