These pages are designed
solely as an aid for amateur genealogists and for those interested
in Derbyshire history, to provide some background information
on the communities within the county.
As the book is 717 pages long it has not been my intention to
reproduce the volume in its entirety. I've therefore largely
excluded the detailed descriptions of Derbyshire's country houses
and the eminent families of the day who lived in them as well
as the longer descriptions of the county's geography and some
of its history.
Material on these subjects can be found elsewhere.
Included for the first time (August 2007) are two wonderful
engraving's by Henry Moore:
