DARBY-SHIRE.

DARBY-SHIRE, called in old English-Saxon 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, li∣eth close to Nottingham-shire Westward, confining with Lei∣cester-shire upon the Southside, like as with Stafford-shire on the West, and York-shire in the North, resembling, as it were, the forme of a Triangle, but not with equall sides. For, where∣as about the point of it lying Southward it is scarce sixe miles [ B] broad, it so enlargeth and spreadeth it selfe on both sides, that where it looketh into the North it carrieth much about thirty miles in breadth. The River Derwent, that runneth along the middest of it, divideth it after a sort in two parts, which River breaking out of the North limit thereof and taking his course Southward, sometimes with his blacke waters stained with the Soile and earth that it passeth by, rumbleth downe apace into the Trent: For, Trent overthwarteth the said narrow point, that I spake of, lying Southward. The East side and the South parts are well manured, not unfruitfull, and besides, well sto∣red with Parkes; The West part beyond Derwent which they call the Peake being all of it hilly, or a stony and craggy ground, is more barraine: howbeit rich in lead, [ C] iron, and coles, which it yeeldeth plentifully, and also feedeth Sheepe very com∣modiously.

In the South corner the first place worth the naming that offereth it selfe to sight,* 1.1 is Greisely Castle, more than broken downe, which together with a little Monastery was founded in times past in honour of Saint George, by the Greiseleies Lords thereof, who fetching their descent from William the sonne of Sir Niele of Grieseley, about the very Conquest of England by the Normans, have flourished unto these dayes in great worship, the which they have not a little augmented long since by marrying with the daughter and heire of the ancient family of Gasteneys. Upon the River Dove, which untill it entreth into Trent divideth this Country from Stafford-shire, we meet [ D] with nothing in this Shire but small country Villages, and Ashburne a Mercate towne, where the house of the Cokains flourished a long time; and Norbury, where the right ancient family of the Fitz-Herberts have long inhabited: out of which, Sir Anthony Fitz-Herbert hath deserved passing well of the knowledge and profession of our Commons law:* 1.2 Not farre from which is Shirley an ancient Lordship of the well renowned Family of the Shirleys, who derive their pedegree from one Fulcher: unto whom, beside the antiquity of their house, much honor and faire lands have ac∣crued by marriage with the heires of the Breoses, the Bassets of Brailesford, the Stan∣tons, Lovets, &c. And heere stand round about many places which have given name and Habitation to worshipfull Families: as Longford, Bradburne, Kniveton, from [ E] whence came those Knivetons of Mercaston and Bradley: of which house Saint Lo Kniveton is one,* 1.3 to whose judicious and studious diligence I am deeply endebted: also Keidelston, where the Cursons dwelt, as also at Crokhall. But whether Sir Robert Curson knighted by King Henry the Seventh,* 1.4 made a Baron of the Empire by Maxi∣milian the Emperour in the yeere 1500. for his singular valour, and thereupon by King Henry the Eigth made a Baron of England with a liberall pension assigned, was descended from these Cursons, I dare not affirme. Heereby is Radborn, where Sir John Chandos knight, Lord of the place, laid a goodly foundation of a great and stately house: from whom by a daughter it came by hereditary succession unto the Poles, who dwell heere at this day. But these particularities I leave for him who [ F] hath undertaken the full description of this Shire.

But upon Trent,* 1.5 so soon as ever he hath taken to him the river Dove, is Repandunum to bee seene, for so doe our History-writers call it, the Saxons named it 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and we at this day Repton, which from a great and faire Towne is become a poore small Village. For, in old time very famous it was, by reason both of the buriall of

Aethelbald that good King of the Mercians, who through the treachery of his owne [ A] people lost his life, and of the other Kings of Mercia: as also for the unfortunate calamity of Burthred the last King of the Mercians,* 1.6 who when hee had enjoyed his kingdome partly by way of entreaty and partly by meanes of bribery, full twenty yeeres, was heere deprived of his kingdome by the Danes, or rather freed and ex∣empted from the glittering misery of princely State, and so became an example to teach men in how ticklish and slippery a place they stand which are underpropped onely with money.* 1.7 Then not farre from Trent is Melborn a Castle of the Kings now decaying, wherein John Duke of Burbon taken prisoner in the battaile of Agin∣court was detained nineteene yeeres under the custody of Sir Nicholas Montgomery the younger. Scarce five miles hence Northward, the River Derwent hath his walke; [ B] who in the utmost limit, as I said before, of this Shire Northward deriving his head out of the Peak hils, being one while streitned betweene crags, and sometimes ano∣ther while watering and cherishing the fresh greene medowes, by mossie and morish grounds holdeth on his course for thirty miles or thereabout directly, as it were, into the South. Howbeit in so long a course hee passeth by nothing worth looking on,* 1.8 except Chattesworth, a very large, faire and stately house, which Sir Wil∣liam Candish,* 1.9 or Cavendish descended out of that ancient house of Gernon in Suffolke, beganne, and which his Wife Elizabeth, and after Countesse of Shrewesbury, hath of late with great charges fully finished.

But where Derwent turneth somewhat Eastward, when it is once past Little Che∣ster, [ C] that is, Little City, where old peeces of Roman money are often times gotten out of the ground, Darby sheweth it selfe, in the English-Saxon Tongue named 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and by the Danes (as Athelward that ancient Writer witnesseth) Deoraby, the chiefe Towne of all this Shire: which name, being taken from the River Derwent and contracted from Derwentby, it hath bestowed upon the whole Coun∣ty. A proper Towne it is, none of the least, not without good trade and resort unto it. On the East side of it, the River Derwent making a very faire shew, runneth downe carrying a full and lofty streame under a beautifull stone Bridge, upon which our devout forefathers erected a faire Chappell, which now is neglected and goeth to decay: Through the South part thereof runneth a prety cleere Riveret which [ D] they call Mertenbrooke. Five Churches there be in it: Of which the greatest named All Hallowes, dedicated to the memory of All-Saints, hath a Towre Steeple that for height and singular fine Workemanship excelleth. In which Church, the Countesse of Shrewesbury, of whom erewhile I spake, trusting her selfe better than her heires, providently erected a Sepulture for her selfe, and as religiously founded an Hospitall hard by, for the maintenance of twelve poore folke, eight men and foure women.

Memorable in old time was this place, because it had beene a lurking hole and a Rendevous for the Danes, untill Ethelfleda that victorious Lady of the Mercians, by a suddaine forceable surprise, made a slaughter of the Danes and became Mistresse of [ E] it. In the time of King Edward the Confessour, as wee finde in Domesday booke, it had 143. Burgesses, whose number notwithstanding decreased so, that in William the Conquerours Raigne there remained onely an hundred: And these paid unto the King at the feast of Saint Martin 12.* 1.10 Trabes of Corne. But now all the name and credit that it hath, ariseth of the Assisses there kept for the whole shire, and by the best ••appy ale, that is brewed there: a drinke so called, of the Danish word Oela somewhat wrested, and not of Alica,* 1.11 as Ruellius deriveth it: the Britans termed it by an old word Kwrw, in steade whereof Curmi is read amisse in Dioscorides; where hee saith, that the Hiberi (perchance he would have said Hiberni, that is, The Irishmen) in lieu of wine use Cur∣mi, a kinde of drinke made of Barly. For, this is that Barly-wine of ours, which Julian [ F] the Emperour, that Apostata, calleth merrily in an Epigramme, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. This is the ancient and peculiar drinke of the Englishmen and Britans, yea and the same very wholsome, howsoever Henry of Aurenches the Norman, Arch-poet to King Henry the Third, did in his pleasant wit merrily jest upon it in these Verses,

[ A] Nescio quod Stygiae monstrum conforme paludi, Cervisiam plerique vocant: nil spissius illa Dum bibitur, nil clarius est dum mingitur, unde Constat, quòd multas faeces in ventre relinquit. Of this strange drinke, so like to Stygian lake, (Most tearme it Ale) I wote not what to make: Folke drinke it thicke, and pisse it passing thin, Much dregges therefore must needs remaine within.

[ B] Howbeit,* 1.12 Turnebus that most learned Frenchman maketh no doubt, but that men using to drinke heereof, if they could avoid surfetting, would live longer than those that drinke wine: and that from hence it is, that many of us drinking Ale live an hun∣dred yeeres. And yet Asclepiades in Plutarch ascribeth this long life to the coldnesse of the aire, which keepeth in and preserveth the naturall heat in bodies, when he made report, that the Britans lived untill they were an hundred and twenty yeeres old.

But the wealth of this Towne consisteth much in buying of corne and selling it a∣gaine to the mountaines: for all the Inhabitants be as it were a kinde of hucksters, or badgers. Not farre from hence doth Derwent carry his streame, where by Elwaston Sir Raulph Montjoye had lands,* 1.13 in the time of Edward the First: from whence came [ C] Sir Walter Blunt, whom King Edward the Fourth advanced to the honour of Baron Montjoye with a pension: whose posterity have equalled the nobility of their birth with the ornaments of learning: and principally among them, Charles, late Earle of De∣vonshire, Baron Montjoy, Lord Lieutenant Generall of Ireland, and Knight of the Order of the Garter. Beneath this Elwaston, Derwent disburdeneth himselfe into the chanell of Trent, which within a while admitteth into it the River Erewash, that in this part ser∣veth as a limit to divide this country from Nottingham-shire. Neere unto this River standeth Riseley, a possession of the Willoughbeies: of which family was that Sir Hugh Willoughby, as I have heard say, who whiles hee endevoured to discover the Frozen Sea neere unto Wardhous in Scandia, was frozen to death together with his company, [ D] in the same ship. Hard by it also is Sandiacre, or as others will have it, Sainct Diacre, the seat of the Family of the Greies of Sandiacre:* 1.14 whose inheritance Sir Edward Hi∣lary in right of his wife was first possessed of; and whose sonne became adopted in∣to the name of the Greies: and a few yeeres after, the one of his daughters and heires wedded to Sir John Leake, and the other to John Welsh.

On the East side of this Shire there follow in order Northward these places,* 1.15 Code∣nor in old time Coutenoure Castle, which belonged to the Barons Grey, called there∣upon Lords Grey of Codenor;* 1.16 whose inheritance in the foregoing age came to the Zouches by the marriage that Sir John de la Zouch the second sonne of William Lord de la Zouch of Haringworth, contracted with Elizabeth the heire of Henry Grey the [ E] last Lord of Codenor. Then, Winfeld, a very great and goodly Manour, where Raulph Lord Cromwell in the Raigne of Henry the Sixth built a sumptuous and stately house, for those daies.* 1.17 After it, you see Alffreton, which men thinke to have beene built by King Alfred, and of him to have taken that name: which Towne had also Lords, en∣tituled therupon, de Alfreton: of whom the second named Robert, the sonne of Ra∣nulph, built in the most remote angle and nouke of this shire the little Abbay De Bel∣lo capite, commonly called Beau-chiefe; but a few yeeres after for default of heires males the Family of Chaworth and the Lathams in Lancashire possessed their inheri∣tance, by two daughters.* 1.18 These bare for their Armes, Two Chevero••s, as they tearme them, Or, in a Shield Azur: which very same Coat the Musards, that is, The doubters [ F] and delaiers who were called Barons of Staveley in this County, changing the colours one∣ly gave, who during the Raigne of King Edward the First had an end in Sir Nicholas Musard:* 1.19 and his eldest sister was married to Ancher Freschevill, whose posterity flou∣risheth heere still at this day. Higher yet in the very East frontier of this County, up∣on a rough and a craggy Soile standeth Hardwic, which gave name to a Family in

which possessed the same: out of which descended Lady Elizabeth Countesse of [ A] Shrewesbury, who beganne to build there two goodly houses joyning in manner one to the other, which by reason of their lofty situation shew themselves, a farre off to be seene, and yeeld a very goodly prospect. This now giveth the Title of Baron to Sir William Cavendish her second sonne,* 1.20 whom King James of late hath honoured with the honour of Baron Cavendish of Hardwic.

More inward in the Country, is seated Chester-field in Scardale, that is, in a Dale com∣passed in with cragges and rockes: For, such rockes the Englishmen were wont to tearme Scarres. Both the new name it selfe, and the ruines of the old Walles doe proove, that this Chester-field was of good antiquity: but the ancient name thereof is by continuance of time worne out and quite lost. King John made it a free Burrough [ B] when he gave it to William Briewer his especiall favourite. In Writers it is famous on∣ly by occasion of the warre betwixt King Henry the Third and his Barons, wherein Robert Ferrars the last Earle of Darby of that name, being taken prisoner and depri∣ved of his honour by authority of the Parliament, lived afterwards as a private man: and his posterity flourished with the Title onely of Barons. Hard to this Chester∣field Westward lyeth Walton,* 1.21 which from the Bretons came hereditarily by Loudham to the Foliambs men of great name in this Tract:* 1.22 and Eastward Sutton, where the Leaks held a long time a worshipfull port, in Knights degree.

A little from hence is Bolsover an ancient Castle, situate somewhat with the high∣est: which belonged to the Hastings Lords of Abergavenney, in right of exchange [ C] with King Henry the Third: who being altogether unwilling that the Earledome of Chester, unto whom this Castle had appertained, should bee divided and bestowed among distaves, assigned here and there other possessions unto the sisters of Iohn Scot the last Earle.

The West part beyond Derwent, which throughout riseth high and peaketh up with hils and mountaines, whence in old time it was called in the old English tongue Peac-lond,* 1.23 and is at this day, haply for that cause, named the Peake (for, that word a∣mong us signifieth to appeare aloft) is severed from Stafford-shire by the Dove a most swift and cleere River, of which I shall speake hereafter. This part although in some place it hath craggy, rough and bare scarres, and cragges; yet by reason that under [ D] the upper crust of the earth there is limestone which supplyeth a batling fruitfull slugh, or humour, there be in it greene grassie hils and vales, which bring forth full oates, and feed safely both droves of greater beasts, and also many flockes of sheepe: For,* 1.24 there is no more danger now from Wolves which in times past were hurtfull and noisome to this Country; and for the chasing away and taking of which some there were that held lands heere at Wormehill, who thereupon were sirnamed Wolve-hunt, as appeareth plainely in the Records of the Kingdome:* 1.25 But so plentifull it is of lead,* 1.26 that the Alchymists, who condemne the Planets as convict of some crime unto the metall mines, have upon a ridiculous errour written, that Saturne, whom they make the Lord and Dominatour of lead, is liberally affected to England, in [ E] granting lead; but displeased with France, to which he hath denied the same. And verily, I thinke that Pliny spake of this Country when hee said this, In Britaine in the very crust of the ground, without any deepe mining, is gotten so great store of lead, that there is a law expressely made of purpose, forbidding men to make more than to a certaine stint. For, in these mountaines, fertile lead stones are daily digged up in great aboun∣dance, which upon the hill tops lying open to the West winde, neere unto Creach and Workes-Worth (which heereupon tooke name of the lead-workes) when the Westerne winde beginnes to blow (which winde of all others they have by expe∣rience found to hold longest) they melt with mighty great fires of wood into lead, in troughes or trenches wich they digge of purpose for it to runne into, and so make [ F] it up into Sowes. Neither onely lead, but Stibium also called in the Apothecaries shops Antimonium,* 1.27 is heere found by it selfe in veines: which minerall the women of Greece used in old time to colour their eye-browes with, whereupon the Poet Ion, in Greeke tearmeth it 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.* 1.28 Milstones likewise are heere hewed out, as also

[ A] grinde-stones and whetstones,* 1.29 to give an edge unto iron tooles: and sometimes in these mines or quarries is found a certaine white Fluor (for such stones comming out of Mines, that be like unto precious stones, learned minerall men call Fluores) which for all the world resembleth Christall.

Besides Workes-worth, lately mentioned, we meet with never another place worth the remembrance, unlesse it be Haddon by the River Wie, the seat for many yeeres to∣gether of the Vernons,* 1.30 who as they were very ancient so they became no lesse renow∣ned in these parts, in so much as Sir George Vernon knight, who lived in our time, for his magnificent port that hee carried, the open house that hee kept, and his commen∣dable hospitality, gat the name among the multitude of a Pety King in the Peake. By [ B] his Daughters and heires a goodly and great Inheritance was transferred unto Sir John Mannours sonne of Thomas Earle of Rutland, and to Sir Thomas Stanley sonne of Edward Earle of Darby. There adjoyneth unto this, Bakewell upon the same Riveret, which among these hils maketh it selfe way into Derwent. This was by the Saxons called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: And Marianus writeth, that King Edward the El∣der erected there a Burrough. Now whether it borrowed this name or no of the hote waters, which the ancient Englishmen, as also the Germans in their language tearmed Bade and Baden, whence came Baden in Germany and Buda in Hungary, I know not. Certes, at the spring-head of Wie not farre from hence, there rise and walme up nine fountaines of hote waters,* 1.31 the place at this day is called Buxton well: which [ C] being found by experience holsome for the stomach, sinewes, and the whole body, George Earle of Shrewesbury lately beautified with buildings, and so they are be∣gunne againe to bee resorted unto, by concourse of the greatest Gentlemen and of the Nobility. At which time that most unfortunate Lady, Mary Queene of Scots bad farewell unto Buxton with this Distichon, by a little change of Caesars Verses con∣cerning Feltria, in this wise:

Buxtona a quae calidae celebrabere nomine lymphae, Fortè mihi posthac non adeunda, vale. Buxton, that of great name shalt be, for hote and holsome baine, [ D] Farewell, for I perhaps shall not thee ever see againe.

But that these hote waters were knowne in old time, The Port-way or High paved Street named Bath-gate, reaching for seven miles together from hence unto Burgh a little Village doth manifestly shew. Neere unto this Burgh there standeth upon the top of an hill an old Castle sometimes belonging to the Peverels, called The Castle in the Peake,* 1.32 and in Latin De Alto Pecco, which King Edward the Third together with a Manour and an Honour, gave unto his sonne John Duke of Lancaster, what time as hee surrendered the Earledome of Richmond into the Kings hands. Under which, there is a Cave or hole within the ground, called, saving your reverence, The De∣vils [ E] Arse,* 1.33 that gapeth with a wide mouth, and hath in it many turnings and rety∣ring roomes: wherein, forsooth, Gervase of Tilbury, whether for wane of knowing trueth, or upon a delight hee had in fabling, hath written, that a Shepheard saw a very wide and large Country with Riverets and Brookes running heere and there through it, and huge Pooles of dead and standing waters. Notwithstanding, by reason of these and such like fables, this Hole is reckoned for one of the wonders of England: neither are there wanting the like tales of another Cave, but especially of that which is called Elden Hole,* 1.34 wherein there is nothing to bee wondred at, but that it is of an huge widnesse, exceeding steepe, and of a mervailous depth. But whosoever have written that there should bee certaine tunnels and breathing holes, [ F] out of which windes doe issue, they are much deceived: Neither doe these Verses of Alexander Necham, which hee wrote as touching the Mervailes of England a∣gree to any of these two holes.

Est specus Aeolijs ventis obnoxia semper, Impetus è gemino maximus ore venit.

Cogitur injectum velamen adire supernas Partes, descensum impedit aura potens. [ A]

A Cave, to strong Aeolian windes alwaies enthral'd there is, From two-fold tunnell maine great blasts arise and never misse, A cloth or garment cast therein, by force aloft is sent, A mighty breath, or powrfull puffe doth hinder all descent.

But all the memorable matters in this high and rough stony little Country, one hath comprised in these foure Verses.

Mira alto Pecco tria sunt, barathrum, specus, antrum; [ B] Commoda tot, plumbum, gramen, ovile pecus. Tot speciosa simul sunt, Castrum, Balnea, Chatsworth; Plura sed occurrunt, quae speciosa minùs.

There are in High Peake Wonders three, A deepe Hole, Cave and Den: Commodities as many bee, Lead, Grasse, and Sheepe in pen. And Beauties three there are withall [ C] A Castle, Bath, Chatsworth: With places more yet meet you shall That are of meaner worth.

* 1.35To these Wonders may be added a wonderfull Well in the Peake Forest not farre from Buxtons which ordinarily ebbeth and floweth foure times in the space of one houre or thereabout,* 1.36 keeping his just Tides: and I know not whether Tideswell a Mercate Towne heereby hath his name thereof.

The Peverels who I have said before were Lords of Nottingham are also reported to have beene Lords of Darby. Afterward King Richard the First, gave and confir∣med [ D] unto his brother John the Counties and Castles of Nottingham, Lancaster, Darby, &c. with the honours thereto belonging, with the honour also of Peverell. After him these were Earles of Derby out of the family of Ferrars (so far as I am able to gather out of the Registers of Tutbury, Merivall, and Burton Monasteries) William Ferrars, sonne to the Daughter and heire of Peverell, whom King John with his owne hand, (as we finde in an ancient Charter) invested Earle of Darby:* 1.37 William his sonne who bruised with a fall out of his Coach died in the yeere 1254. And this Williams sonne, Robert; who in the Civill Warre lost this Title and a great estate by forfei∣ture, in such sort as that none of his posterity, although they lived in great port and reputation, were ever restored to that honor againe: But most of this Roberts posses∣sions [ E] K. Henry the Third passed over unto Edmund his owne younger son: and King Edward the Third (I write out of the very originall Record) by authority and advise of the Parliament, ordained Henry of Lancaster, the sonne of Henry Earle of Lan∣caster, Earle of Darby, to him and his heires, and withall assigned unto him a thou∣sand markes yeerely during the life of his father Henry Earle of Lancaster. From that time this Title was united to the line of Lancaster, untill King Henry the Se∣venth, bestowed the same upon Thomas Lord Stanley, who before had wedded Mar∣garet the Kings mother, to him and the heires males of his body. He had for his suc∣cessour his Grandsonne Thomas begotten by George his sonne of Ioan the heire of the Lord Strange of Knocking: this Thomas had by the sister of George Earle of Hunting∣don, [ F] Edward, the third Earle of this Family, highly commended for hospitality and affability, who by the Lady Dorothy Daughter to the first Thomas Howard Duke of Norfolke, begat Henry the fourth Earle, efts-once honourably employed, who left by Lady Margaret Daughter of Henry Earle of Cumberland, Ferdinand, and William

[ A] successively Earles of Darby. Ferdinand dyed in strange manner, in the flower of his youth, leaving by Margaret his Wife Daughter of Sir John Spenser of Althorp three Daughters, Anne marryed to Grey Bruges, Lord Chandos, Francis Wife to Sir Iohn Egerton, and Elizabeth Wife to Henry Earle of Huntingdon. William the sixth Earle now enjoyeth that Honour having issue by Elizabeth Daughter to Edward late Earle of Oxford.

[ B] ANd thus much of the Counties of Nottingham and Darby: of which they inhabited a part who in Bedes time were called Mercij Aquilonares,* 1.38 that is, The Northern Mercians, for that they dwelt beyond the Trent North∣ward: and they held, as hee saith, The land of seven thou∣sand Families.

This County holdeth in it Parishes 106.
