Tanners & Leather Workers The usefulness of animal skins is too old to guess at, although leather has been found in Egyptian tombs. The oldest surviving examples in the Peak, by contrast, are probably remnants of leather footwear dating from the Roman occupation and displayed in Buxton Museum. To attain resistance to bacteriological decay, animal skins have to be tanned. Even into the industrial age, tanning was an activity largely related to agricultural areas, the hides being a by-product of cattle rearing and requiring ample supplies of tree bark for the tanning process. Oak bark was a primary source of tannin and this advertisement appeared in the Derby Mercury in 1793:
‘Bark Peelers Wanted – To peel this season 1793 a large quantity of oak coppice timber at Bradley near Ashbourne. As the timber stands in five coppices any person may be treated with to peel any one lot or the whole by applying to Mr Buxton, Tanner, Ashbourne, or Mr Fearn, Timber Merchant, Bradley.’ The factories and mills of the Industrial Revolution created a huge demand for machinery-belting, along with leather breeches and protective boots for workers employed in heavy industry. Leather was equally essential to the production of footwear and saddlery. In the early 20th century, saddlers and harness makers were to be found in Matlock and Matlock Green, Wirksworth, Parwich,
Winster, Tideswell, Hope, Cromford, Hartington and Bakewell. They turned out saddles, heavy padded collars for farmhorses and smaller items from blinkers to reins. The advent of the railway required leather hosepipes for watering engines, leather hoods to link coaches, and upholstery and window straps in the carriages. Tanning and currying All these products depended upon the skills of the tanner. A skinyard or tanyard by a stream was a familiar sight – and smell. Town-based tanners were likely to buy their hides from local butchers or abattoirs. George Holmes of Bakewell had a tanyard in Horsecroft Lane by 1799. A c o n t e m p o r a r y advertisement reads: ‘Mr Philip Dawson and Mr Henry Dale have entered into partnership to carry on the business of tanning (late of the property and in the occupation of Mr Job Holbrook in Compton in Ashbourne). Notice is hereby given that anyone who may have raw Hides, Skins, Kips, etc., to dispose of or any butcher whose slaughters are not engaged shall have the best Market Price and ready money for same.’ Ox hides were favoured
for toughness, with cow and bull hides also suited to hard wear. Heifer produced a more supple leather. All hides were treated in the same way; the initial salting-down process was followed by a thorough soaking in water to remove the salt and dirt – thus needing proximity to a reliable stream. The hides were then laid in lime pits (lime being readily available around the Peak) to loosen the hair and soften the fibres. This made it easier to scrape off the hair and remaining flesh – to be sold to soap and glue manufacturers – after which all traces of lime were removed by agitating the Continued on Page 7

Starkholmes W.I. were entertained by Sally Mosley at their November meeting. The theme was A-Z of slides of Derbyshire locations. Starting at A for Ashford in the Water, Ilam, Ladybower, Monsal Viaduct and finishing at Z for Riber Zoo that was. It was most interesting. Other places of note were the Dome of Buxton with a dome bigger than St Paul’s, the home of the Eyre family, inspiration for Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. Guide stoops were erected in the countryside to show travellers the nearest market town. Birthday flowers were
given to Mrs Tomlinson, Mrs Gater, Mrs Roe and Mrs Rosser. The next monthly lunch will be at The Red Lion on Matlock Green. The AGM will be held in Liverpool next year and the Spring Council meeting at the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield on 4th March when the speaker is Jonathan Moseley, the gardener. Final arrangements were made for the Christmas Party, and the competition winners for a picture of Old Derbyshire were Mrs Gallon, Mrs Tomlinson and Mrs Caudwell. Raffle winner was Mrs Dodds.

What better way could there be to warm up for Christmas than by enjoying a lively programme of songs and light-hearted readings by the community singing group ‘Raise your Voices’? If you like the sound of it, then make for Winster on Thursday 15 December. ‘Raise your Voices’ meets every week in the upstairs room of Wirksworth’s Red Lion pub. They sing in threeor four-part harmony, both for their own enjoyment and in occasional concerts. One of their proudest achievements was to feature in the BBC film ‘Marvellous’, which won two Bafta awards in 2014. But they like nothing more than to bring out their Christmas repertoire and share it with an audience in tune with the spirit of the season. Their director and
presenter on the night is Lester Simpson, who is nationally known as a musician, solo singer and recording artist, but most famous perhaps as part of the a cappella folk trio Coope, Boyes and Simpson. He is popular locally for his voice workshops and harmony singing classes and as director of several other community choirs, including Bakewell and District Community Choir, Leek Peace Choir, the County Council’s Unison Workplace Choir, and a choir of Parkinson’s sufferers who goodhumouredly call themselves ‘Movers and Shakers’. The show, which is in aid of Winster’s twinning exchange with Monterubbiano in Italy, is in the Burton Institute DE4 2DQ and starts at 7.30 (bar

beds, the tubs at Broadwalk and the other major planters around town while designs are already being prepared for our summer planting. These are critical as it is they that are assessed by the two judges on our Judging Day in July 2017; the plants have been ordered in November to ensure their best appearance in summer. To consolidate our gold award and to ensure an even better performance, the winter sees a number of fund-raising activities for which we really seek your generous support. Last year’s fund-raising permitted the purchase of the stone truck at the crossroads in Darley Dale as well as the six barrier box planters previously located on Hooley’s Estate; the priorities for use of funds for next year are currently being defined. For this year, the In Bloom committee have created calendars and Christmas cards based on local views; if you’d like to see them and buy them for friends and relatives, please get in touch through our website or Facebook page. On Sunday 11th December, Caroline DaleLeech harnessed her two white horses Bertie and Bassett and provided carriage rides for all around the Whitworth Park. As always, Father Christmas and his beautiful elves were on hand to ensure a great time for all. For the children there was a Lucky Dip from Santa’s sack. The “Blues Princess” Elles Bailey will perform on January 19th 2017 - a fundraising concert to be held at the Tipsy Toad, formerly known as the Bar None, Matlock; the singer songwriter has agreed to hold a gig in amongst her UK tour to support our In Bloom activities!! Check out her music on www.youtube.com 15th March 2017 will see another auction chaired by Adrian Fidler. This will be held at the Whitworth Centre and, last year, proved a major source of income for our purchases. The Fun Dog show in Whitworth Park will be held on April 1st 2017. This popular event seems to grow in attendance year on year despite the vagaries of the weather at this time of year. Start your training now so that your pooch is on top form on the day!! Details for all of these events can be found through our website www.darleydaleinbloom.co .uk or our Facebook page. If you have any questions, please get in touch through these links.

YOUNG STARS SHINE IN S. ANSELM’S NATIVITY PRODUCTION
All fifty of S. Anselm’s PrePrep children, aged from 3 to 7, got the opportunity to shine in their performance of The Nativity, called Baa Baa Bethlehem. The stage of the Hargreaves Hall was transformed into a Christmas scene – complete with stable, crib and straw – and with all the children in full costume it created a spectacular tableau. Over 100 parents, grandparents and relatives filled the hall and were
treated to magical highlights such as a star dance, camel dance and singing shepherds. Mrs Donnelly, head of the Pre-Prep School said: “It’s such an exciting time for the children and to perform in a Christmas Nativity is truly special. It’s a tradition that we cherish. We are so proud of all the children who have practised hard to remember their parts and sing so beautifully in all the songs. Well done everybody!”

GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER’S CHRISTMAS
In December 1925, an elderly Derbyshire man wrote down memories of the Christmases of his boyhood. His recollections pre-dated Christmas trees and turkeys, even Santa Claus, but remind us that the main ingredient of mincemeat was originally just what it says – meat. Yet many of the old delights are familiar still, from feasting, games and garlands to Christmas bells. He wrote: “I am old enough to have an idea what Christmas was like in country villages all those years ago. It was a most delightful time in Derbyshire, and was a fine time to me, though I did not quite know what it all meant. Christmas began with the week when we killed our pig. I can still remember my childish excitement and all the grim details and our morbid interest in them, the killer in a low top-hat with a big shiny knife and the whole ghastly business. Then next day the cutting-up of the carcass and the taking of ‘fry’ to friends, in particular to widows and old maids, and always with instructions not to let the plate be washed or the cloth be changed for a clean one, for this would spoil the luck! Another thing, the pig had to be killed at the waxing of the moon; to kill at the waning of the moon was bad luck, as flesh would not keep or take salt if so killed. Then it was nice to see the pig cut up, fat to make scam, and other parts to make pies and mincemeat. It was all a wonderful time.” The kissing bunch “This lasted a week or so, and then it was time to make the kissing bunch, which then took the place of the later tree, but the bunch was decorated as the tree is now, with slips of coloured paper, little toys, apples, oranges and all sorts of shiny things; while garlands were made for all parts of the living room. Then at Christmas Eve all was made right for supper at a big table, at which was spread a big repast of beef, pork, ducks and fowls, and drinks of several sorts; but first of all came basins of frumerty, which was eaten
with a spoon, and then tarts and I hardly know what! A bit later came guisers playing St George, and also some sword dancers, and little Devil Doubt, who called to us for money, or else he would sweep us all to the Grave! It was all so jolly. Then there were games of all sorts, hunt the slipper, forfeits, and I can’t say what else, a Miss or two under the kissing bunch, a good night at the door, and off home along snowy roads, and joy bells ringing from the church on the hill. I can never quite forget or quite remember it all. It is an impression I shall live with as long as I live.” Julie Bunting

Angela Ward (Chair of Friends of the Windmill) said, ‘It’s been a great day and everyone seems to have enjoyed themselves’ .

PEAKLAND LIVELIHOODS Tanners & Leather Workers hides in water containing an enzymatic ‘bate’. Before the commercial production of bate, dog dung often provided the necessary enzymes. The hides were then passed through pits of tanning liquid of increasing strength, to be left in the final solution for about six weeks before being very slowly dried under cover. Lastly, they were handed over to be dressed and if necessary dyed by the currier, a skilled craftsman often in business on his own account. During the currying process the leather was impregnated with grease to leave it soft and supple, chiefly using ‘dubbin’ – a mix of equal parts of cod liver oil and beef tallow. Heavy leathers were generally subject to dipping into a tank of molten grease, especially paraffin wax.
Skinner’s Hall Leather became a major export and a tanner could make a good living. On the domestic front he was essential to the boot and shoemakers who thrived in any village of moderate size. In the 1830s, for instance, a Wirksworth tanner and a leather dresser at New Bridge each enjoyed regular custom from three saddler/harness makers in Wirksworth and Cromford. An advertisement of 1796 had referred to the auction of a Wirksworth tanyard established some 50 years earlier, with a plentiful supply of water in a neighbourhood well stocked with oak timber. The business comprised ‘43 Pitts, 44 Handlers, 6 lime pitts, 3 drying rooms and 2 excellent bark mills.’ A tanner/currier listed at Grindleford Bridge presumably occupied
premises on Goatcliffe Brook which in 1913 were partly taken over by Grindleford Laundry. In the 1830s there were seven boot/shoemakers in Tideswell, one at Peak Forest, one at Calver, two at Hathersage and three at Hope. Three were also listed at Bradwell which until the end of the 19th century had a tannery behind the old sawmill on Bradwell Brook. Edale Mill on the river Noe was a tannery prior to its conversion to a cotton mill. A nearby house that accommodated its workers was nicknamed Skinner’s Hall, and the name stuck. Bakewell and Baslow each supported a tanner and two saddlers in addition to various footwear manufacturers: seven at Bakewell, two at Baslow, three at Edensor, one at both Pilsley and Youlgreave,
plus two at Ashford. By 1846, the number of boot/shoemakers at Baslow had increased to nine and at Bonsall to four, with another at neighbouring Slaley. On the Staffordshire side of the Peak, the populations of Winkhill and Ecton included leatherworkers; Longnor specialized in both saddlery and quarrymen’s leather boots. The demand for sturdy footwear was further reflected in our leadmining and quarrying villages, as at Winster, which in 1835 supported two leather sellers and seven boot/shoemakers. Matlock Bath had seven footwear manufacturers, with another five at nearby Matlock. Health problems The production of footwear is particularly associated with Eyam and Stoney Middleton. Around 1830 the
former had nine boot/shoemakers and the latter six, plus one saddler. What had begun as a cottage industry expanded into family concerns employing relatives and neighbours. By 1910, both villages each had three wholesale boot, shoe and slipper manufacturers but increased competition from larger firms was making low overheads essential. In 1913 local workers were earning only £1 for a 63hour week, half the national average for the trade. With just a 15-minute dinner break, the shoemakers of Eyam barely had time to run home, bolt their food and dash back to work. Yet any job was welcome and there was no shortage of workers, the majority being women on piecework. Female outworkers at Bradwell and Hathersage also took in work from the Eyam factories, machining uppers in their own homes. The initial cutting preparation was a man’s job, using a sharp knife prior to the time when sole and heel pieces could be stamped out by heavy machinery – claiming at least one finger or thumb from every operator. Girls and women machined up the five or six sections of the uppers, often working by

the light of candles, which they had to pay for themselves. Machinists grew round-shouldered and developed poor eyesight, while severe breathing problems affected those involved in the final buffing and scouring of leather and brass rivets, the air thick with particles. The trade continues Leather items of local origin can be seen in Eyam museum, while a rare skill is represented in Bakewell Old House Museum in items of ornamental leatherwork depicting fruit and flowers. Meanwhile, as our images show, the footwear trade still thrives at Stoney Middleton – with a far wider range than of yore – under William Lennon & Co., established in 1899.

MATLOCK BATH THROUGH TIME EXHIBITION OFFICIALLY OPENED
Last Wednesday the Peak District Lead Mining Museum in Matlock Bath officially opened the Matlock Bath Through Time exhibition. This has been built by staff and volunteers at the museum with information researched by local volunteers through the Matlock Records’ Office and private collections. The permanent exhibition takes you on a journey from prehistory through the growth of a small hamlet at Upperwood where the lead miners lived and worked, then into the 17th century when the warm springs started to attract visitors. The arrival of the railway in the mid-19th century led to an influx of visitors to “Little Switzerland� who ventured into the mines and caves and visited the museums just as the modern visitors do today. Project leader, Robin Hall, said, “We are very proud of the exhibition which will give visitors, locals and schools a good idea of how modern day Matlock Bath developed�. There is no rest for the team at the museum though as they are busy working on visitor activities and an education pack to go with the exhibition. In 2017 the geology section of the museum will also be added to, with more of their world class mineral samples on display and a family-friendly introduction to geology being developed.
The exhibition was opened by Lynn Willies who was instrumental in setting up the museum in the 1970s watched by Robin Hall, the Project Leader of the new exhibition. Â Photo credit Karl Barton

We Three Year Old Kings… BRASSINGTON PRE-SCHOOL STAGES YOUNGEST EVER NATIVITY!
On Friday December 9th the pupils at Brassington PreSchool held their annual Nativity service to a packed crowd of proud parents and relatives. The average age of the performers was just 3 and all agreed they did a wonderful job with a traditional retelling of the Christmas story and some festive songs to follow. The school has gone from strength to strength in
recent years, and is now offering morning sessions on Mondays and Fridays along with full days on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Children are welcome at Brassington pre-school from the age of 2 years. Nestled in the heart of the beautiful village of Brassington there is a strong rural influence to the preschool, and the pupils
benefit from breathtaking views of the village and surrounding area. Transition into full-time education is a key focus of the pre-school and as such they’ve formed strong links with Brassington primary school and surrounding schools to make the move to “big school” a smooth and exciting time. Andrea Brandon, PreSchool Manager said, "The
children are the youngest group we’ve ever had to stage the Christmas play, and are a real credit to the school. I was delighted that it went so well – we can all now have a well deserved rest over Christmas!” For more information about the Pre-School or to come and have a look around please contact Andrea on 01629 540855 or visit brassingtonpreschool.co.uk

In what must be one of the fastest growing Crowdjustice appeals ever, Women Against State Pension Inequality Ltd have raised ÂŁ100,000 for our legal action against the government. Our first target of ÂŁ50,000 was reached in a day, the stretch target of ÂŁ75,000 a week or so later and with 10 days of fundraising still to run, WASPI have now asked Crowdjustice to close the appeal as it has reached ÂŁ100,000. With the funding already making its way to Bindmans, the top London law firm who are representing WASPI, Jane Cowley, Fundraising Director said: “Women Against State Pension Inequality Ltd want to thank each and every person who has donated to the fund. It’s inspiring to know that we have such a huge level of support and it is a real validation of our decision to pursue a legal caseâ€?. The campaign now plans to use the funding to pursue one or more legal challenges to the government. We have identified two potential means of legal redress for women affected by the changes to the State Pension
CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR BIN COLLECTIONS
Derbyshire Dales residents have been reminded that Christmas and New Year bank holidays mean their bin collections will be one day later than usual over the festive fortnight. Christmas Day falls on a Sunday this year, so the week leading up to Christmas will be business as usual. The District Council’s contractor Serco will not be working Boxing Day but will collect usual Monday waste and recycling on Tuesday 27 December, working an extra day on Saturday 31 December. The following week they will not be working Monday 2 January, but will work through from Tuesday 3rd to Saturday 7th January. Residents are asked to note that no additional household waste will be collected, so are advised to make sure all their household waste is contained in their grey bin with the lid shut, or, for homes on a sack collection, in four standard sized black sacks. A District Council spokesperson said: “While we are asking our residents to limit the amount of household waste they put out for landfill, we are always happy to take excess recycling. All we ask is that any additional material is left at the side of recycling containers, making sure it is easily identifiable and suitably contained. “We recommend using transparent containers, such as stacker boxes, rather than black bags, so we can easily identify the contents, and ask that any excess card, paper and magazines are separated from other excess recycling. Cardboard must be flattened and broken down into smaller pieces no wider than 0.5m to fit in the recycling compartment of our trucks.� More information on presenting excess recycling can be found online at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/ excessrecycling Food waste collections will continue to happen weekly and recycling collections fortnightly. To help prioritise household waste and recycling collections at this busy time of year, all garden waste (green bin/compostable sacks) collections are suspended during those two weeks. Every household in the district received a Christmas and New Year collections timetable in the October issue of the District Council’s Dales Matters publication, and a collection calendar is also available to view or download online at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/ mycollection
Age: • a judicial review challenge (or challenges) to the legality of the changes themselves; •maladministration complaints regarding the wholly inadequate engagement undertaken by the Department of Work and Pensions regarding these changes.   Alongside our legal campaign, WASPI continues to engage with politicians from all parties. WASPI leaders recently met with MPs from the Scottish National Party and discussed with Jeremy Corbyn and Shadow Ministers how
Labour might support the WASPI cause. Our many local groups are making themselves heard in Tory marginal seats up and down the country and there is a growing awareness that 2.6 million 1950s women’s votes could make a big difference at the next election. With two former Pensions Ministers, Steve Webb and Baroness Altmann now publicly pledging their support, with over 47,500 people following the official WASPI Facebook page and with a £100,000 fighting fund raised in less than three weeks, WASPI is a force to be
reckoned with.  Time for the government to get thinking on how best to make those fair transitional pension arrangements. There are still women and their families affected by not having their pension at the expected date. Go to www.waspi.co.uk Download information, posters, flyers.

on their first trip to France. On the 1st November the School took a number of the Year 6 pupils on a four-day trip which included a visit to a French goat farm and a chocolate factory. They also enjoyed a tour around the town of Rue, where they were based in a Chateau where they heard many stories about the town’s experiences in both the World Wars. To test out their language skills they visited a market in the seaside town of Berck where they tried to buy some postcards to send home and some gifts. As the main aim of the trip was to understand what they had been taught about the Somme and the scale of the battle, they visited the famous Lochnagar Crater to see what is considered to be the starting place of the Battle of the Somme. The sheer scale of the 91m wide, 21m deep crater helped the children to gain a perspective of some of the damage the battle had inflicted on the area. The children visited the Albert Trench Museum where they walked through the underground tunnel layout of the museum. This was a perfect place to feel and see what it was like to be in the area during both the World Wars. A Canadian guide in the Newfoundland Memorial at
Beaumont Hamel explained, when they walked around the trenches, about the devastation the war had on the entire Island. He explained to the group the loss of a generation of young soldiers from Newfoundland and where nearly all of the soldiers tragically died in the first day of the Battle. As the children followed in the footsteps of the soldiers through the trenches, they could clearly see No Man’s Land and the shell holes that still remain visible to this day. They were also taken to the Ulster Memorial and then on to the Thiepval Memorial, to find and lay poppy crosses as a mark of their respect to some of the fallen who are also remembered in All Saints’ Church in Matlock. The most significant and emotional part of the trip was when the school visited the Albert Communal Cemetery. The reason they stopped at this cemetery was to find the final resting place of Private Charles Dumas who was from Matlock and died in WWI aged 19. When they found the grave, they held a minute’s silence to remember all of the fallen and laid a wreath on Dumas’ grave. Year 6 pupil, Hannah Purslow, said: ‘We had a fantastic time in France. We
Working in partnership with
learned so much about the way French people live and especially about the terrible things that happened there in WWI. It was very sad to see so many gravestones and names of the people who lost their lives on the memorials. We were glad to be able to lay
our poppies to show we remember them.’ Assistant Head Teacher at All Saints’, Miss Amanda Smith, said: ‘It was an amazing experience for the children to be in the Somme during the centenary of the Battle, to see the impact World War One had on the area and to see the loss of life on all of the memorials. It was also an honour to be able to remember the fallen with the children; to lay poppies at Thiepval and to lay a wreath, brought all the way from Matlock, to one of its own who never came back. This was an experience that will remain with our pupils for the rest of their lives.’ The children clearly understood the significance of the visit when they concluded their learnings and understanding of the First World War and the Somme in a School assembly held on the 16th November, where the children fed back to the rest of the school and parents about what they learned on the trip. This was done through a number of small sketches, giving lots of interesting facts that they learnt on the trip. They were able to share the value of this trip to the year-5 children who will be able to have the same experiences when the school returns to the Somme next year.

ROTARY BAKEWELL WELCOMES ITS LATEST YOUNG LEADERS
President Elect Christine Webb was delighted to be able to welcome Harvey Fletcher and Frances Burnley to our Club meeting on the 23rd November. Harvey and Frances are both Year 10 students at Lady Manners School and represent the latest students our club has had the pleasure of sponsoring for the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) run at the Whitehall Centre near Buxton. Harvey and Frances had clearly gained a lot from their activities at Whitehall: they both received RYLA certificates in recognition of their efforts. Their presentation to our Club was both articulate and confident
and a credit to them. Two more Lady Manners students have since attended another RYLA course and we hope to hear from them in the New Year. The Rotary Youth Leadership Award is a leadership programme coordinated by Rotary Clubs around the globe. Each year thousands of young people participate in this programme. Rotary Bakewell is proud to have been able to sponsor students over many years. Our Club is gratified to know that employers and universities rate the RYLA award highly and we are proud to be able to add something of real value to the lives of our local young people.

Matlock AC's Jade Stone powering through the Bakewell XC 'water feature' It was a Sunday morning of Winter Wonderland magic on Bakewell Showground for the Matlock Athletic Club ladies team as they powered to victory in the ladies team contest of the Booths Decorators Cross Country league. The race was hosted by Matlock Athletic Club and the event attracted over 300 runners and supporters into Bakewell from the 11 other clubs from the Derbys/Notts area who are members of the league. The ladies were led by the peerless Jade Stone who raced to her 3rd straight win in the senior ladies contest and is unbeaten in this year’s series. The Matlock men's
team finished an impressive 6th, which resulted in the club finishing 3rd in the combined team category. The popularity of the race can be gauged through the ages of the competitors, as Matlock fielded a quality team whose ages spanned from Sam Thompson at 14 to the still very competitive septuagenarian Clive Russell. The ladies team now head to Long Eaton in January for the penultimate race of the series with a 4 point lead in the overall table and look on course to claim the club’s first outright team and individual senior crowns.

East Midlands’ Best Outdoor Christmas Events. The weather was kind to Matlock for its biggest event of the year, which encouraged record numbers of visitors to attend this year’s Victorian Matlock Christmas Weekend. This event which attempts to trace its history from the town’s Victorian beginnings right through to the present day, offers a mix of entertainment aimed at the whole family, and from comments received so far seems to have satisfied the event’s ambitions. The second object is to help the economy of the town and surrounding district. Record business was reported not only at the Market, but also in the local shops, cafes and bars and local accommodation providers were also reported to have full bookings. There were around two hundred stalls giving people a huge selection of special gifts. The streets of Matlock saw their biggest crowds yet to see Santa’s Christmas procession, led by Chesterfield Musketeers Show Band complete with illuminated instruments, a carriage and horses provided by Red House Stables of Darley Dale carrying Father Christmas. Also lighting up the parade were five illuminated models from Matlock Bath’s famous parade of illuminated and decorated boats. At the bandstand 12 year-old local singing sensation Ellie Osbourne & Mark Handley delighted the crowds whilst waiting for the traditional count-down before the Matlock Christmas Lights were switched-on. Councillor Fr Brian Smith, the Mayor of Matlock, then thanked every member of the organising team for all their hard work in organising such a magnificent Christmas event. Afterwards the Chairman of the Organising Committee, Geoff Stevens, said that he would like to thank all those organisations and business in the town who helped in so many ways to make the event so successful. In particular the Matlock Town Council and the business community for having the foresight to back this event for the last 22 years, and Derbyshire Dales District Council for their support and for allowing the event to be staged in their beautiful Hall Leys Park. He said that coach companies had brought visitors from all parts of the country and he hoped that the event would encourage people to visit the town at other times during the year.
On the 27th November Mrs June Bingham unveiled the new crib
and nativity scene on the village green, Bamford. The carol service with

Hot chocolate and mince pies will be served.

THE MYSTERY OF ASHFORD-IN-THE-WATER’S HIDDEN GRAVE (PEAK IN THE PAST)
Buried under an old Yew tree in the graveyard of Holy Trinity Church in the picturesque Peak District village of Ashford-in-the Water, lies a lost grave and a mystery… which has just come to light thanks to a special collaboration between a Bakewell residential care home and a local heritage group ‘Peak in the Past’.
The old Yew tree in Ashford Churchyard The ‘Peak in the Past’ group works with a range of people from schoolchildren through to elderly residents in care homes to investigate and share aspects of local history. For the past year, volunteer project officer for Peak in the Past, Tim Knebel who hails from Darley Dale (and whose usual job is an archivist at Sheffield Archives), has been carrying out reminiscence work with selected residents at Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home. Tim shares historical records of relevance to residents and their family/local history sourced from local archives (Sheffield Archives and Derbyshire Record Office in Matlock), helping to stimulate reminiscence. In return, residents share with Tim their memories, allowing the Peak in the
found the Yew tree in the churchyard but there was no sign of a grave matching the description. However, on a second visit to the churchyard (having rechecked the directions from Nellie) he probed a bit deeper, carefully brushing away a carpet of dead leaves and earth around the precise spot where Nellie remembered the grave having laid. To his astonishment, as he peeled back the layers of earth, a mysterious gravestone was gradually revealed which had been completely buried from view. The inscription read ‘In Memory of Charles McAllister, son of Niel and Margaret Shannon of Liverpool, who died at Ashford, October 3rd 1853 aged 4 years.’ So who was this little lad? How did he die and why was he buried in Ashford? Tim found details
Past project to capture valuable information about the region’s remembered past before it is lost forever. One resident who has been helping Tim is Nellie Blundell (nee Thorpe). Nellie was born and brought up in Ashford-in-the-Water. She was born in 1922, the youngest of 10 children of Francis Thorpe (1871 1949), a railway worker, and
his wife Jane (nee Spencer) (1878 - 1956). Nellie is able to recall vividly many of Ashford’s former illustrious residents from the first half of the 20th-century such as Charles Boot J.P. of Thornbridge Hall and the Cavendish Family of Churchdale Hall (where Nellie’s mother worked carrying out domestic duties) as well as former residents with more humble backgrounds – the farmers, shopkeepers and tradespeople who contributed so much to the local economy and community in decades’ past. During the Second World War, compelled by a sense of patriotic duty, Nellie joined the Women’s Royal Navy Service (WRENS) and was posted to Rosneath on the west coast of Scotland. The Second World War led Nellie to meet her husband Geoffrey Blundell (who was also
The Thorpe family of Ashford in the Water with Nellie the baby picture, c.1923 serving in forces) following a been some years since chance meeting at a bus Nellie had last seen the grave and she was not able stop. Amongst Nellie’s many to recall the child’s name or fascinating recollections when he was buried, only was an intriguing memory that he was a young boy which prompted Tim to set from Liverpool who died out to uncover a long-lost back in the 1800s. Following mystery. Nellie recalled as a Nellie’s directions, at first young girl stumbling upon a Tim was puzzled and curious Victorian grave of a wondered whether she may young boy from Liverpool in have been mistaken. He Ashford churchyard. The grave lay flat on the ground under an old Yew tree and was half-buried under foliage. Something about this lonely, untended grave captured Nellie’s interest, and, whenever she visited her own family graves in the churchyard, she would try and sweep away the dead leaves and earth which covered it. She had always wondered who the young boy was. What was a child from Liverpool doing buried in a grave in Ashford and why had he died so young? Nellie had heard rumours that the boy may have drowned in the River Wye (back in the 19th/20th centuries drownings in the river which runs through the village were not uncommon!). Nellie had always wanted to learn the truth about the boy’s death and asked Tim if he might be able to discover more by delving into the archives. Tim’s first task was to Geoffrey and Nellie Blundell in their services uniforms, track down the grave. It had c.1945

mystery still remains as to why this young boy from Liverpool ended up dying
Peeling back the earth to reveal the lost grave under the Yew tree in Ashford Churchyard 75 Upper Canning Street, Liverpool with Charles aged 1 living with his parents, older brother and sister, great uncle and aunt and two servants. Charles’ father Niel Shannon was listed as a ‘Master Mariner’, born on the Island of Arran, Scotland. A search of historical newspapers revealed how Niel Shannon captained the Royal Mail steamship ‘America’ (part of the Cunard line) during the early 1850s where he made frequent trips across the Atlantic to USA and back. The discovery that the little boy’s father was a ‘master mariner’ lent extra intrigue to the rumours Nellie had heard that the boy may have drowned. Having established the name of the child and his date of death, Tim tracked down a copy of Charles’ death certificate in search of confirmation of the cause of death. The death certificate however revealed simply how Charles died in Ashford of ‘scarlet fever’ (a common cause of infant death at the time). So, there was no dramatic tale of drowning in the case of the master mariner’s son, but a
(and being buried) in Ashford. No evidence could be found that the family had any association with the village. Perhaps the family brought their stricken son to Ashford, hoping that the fresh country air might cure him. This is just one of many intriguing historical lines of inquiry that the Peak in the Past group explore through their work with local care home residents. As Tim says, ‘Residential care homes are treasure troves of memory and rich living local history. I feel privileged
that people such as Nellie, whose memory stretches back almost a century to the 1920s, can provide me with such a wonderful personal window into life in the locality in the past. Thanks to residents like Nellie, the names in historical records such as the ‘1939 register’ and directories of Derbyshire from the 1930s/1940s come to life, bringing personality and colour to archives, enhancing our perception of the past and our appreciation of the present. When you learn about the extraordinary period of technological and social change someone like Nellie has lived through, and the fascinating stories she can share of the turbulent times of the Second World War and beyond, it makes me realize how lucky we are to live with the luxuries we do today’. More information about the Peak in the Past project can be found on the group’s w e b s i t e www.peakinthepast.co.uk The project has been made possible thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (Sharing Heritage Strand), Foundation Derbyshire and the J.G. Graves Charitable Trust.

Wirksworth Offers a Christmas Message of Hope On Saturday 3rd December, local people offered Christmas messages of hope to those unfairly imprisoned all around the world. In a popular Write for Rights event, Wellspring Church Hall in Wirksworth was filled with well wishers partaking in seasonal offerings of tea, coffee and mince pies – as well as sending a total of 338 Christmas cards designed by local artists. For over ten years Amnesty Wirksworth has campaigned to release prisoners of conscience. During 2016, people who received messages of support last Christmas have been released. Phyoe Phyoe Aung, a Burmese student who was freed in April, thanked those who wrote to her saying; “your letters are not just letters, they are also big presents and a great strength not only for the students but also for Burma's future.” Albert Woodfox, who was imprisoned in America for 44 years, also thanked Write for Rights for their “messages
from beyond prison walls” upon his release in February. "It's been a really successful event this year,” Kerry Scutts, group chair, commented. “Many people have approached me to say how much they appreciate this opportunity to take part in a much loved and rewarding worldwide Amnesty International campaign." Amnesty Wirksworth will be offering another chance for people to send Christmas cards to prisoners of conscience on Tuesday 20th December at Waltham House from 8pm. Tea, coffee and mince pies will be served. Founded in 2002 in the beautiful Derbyshire town of Wirksworth on the edge of the Peak District, Amnesty, Wirksworth and District have become an important part of the local community. We hold regular events and meet on the third Tuesday of the month, often with a speaker or other activity. The venue, Waltham House, is just south of Wirksworth Market Square, on the main road through the town.

Matlock’s Marvellous Mulled Wine
Since 1997, Matlock Rotary Club has been brewing mulled wine for the Matlock Victorian Christmas Market. It is made in Tansley (at the Scout Hut) to a secret recipe but includes wine (from France), cider, spices and orange juice. After all these years brewing, it is a drink of special perfection and is much enjoyed by visitors to the Victorian Christmas Market. Matlock Rotary Club has a corner pitch in the same place every year and visitors from far and wide seek out a cup of mulled wine, before and after shopping in the
Matlock Rotary Club’s Mulled Wine Stall market. The regular customers and the Rotary Club helpers
ensure that the stall is kept busy throughout the three days of the market.
All the monies raised, after costs, goes to local good causes and each year several thousand pounds are raised. Matlock Rotary Club will be back again next year, enjoying being part of the Victorian Christmas Market. Diane Blount, President of the Club said, “I would like to thank the public for their great support and thank those who provided help. It has been another great success taking part in the Matlock Victorian Christmas Market and we look forward to returning in 2017.”

We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and always try to go that extra mile. As we are licensed and regulated through The Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) we have to adhere to their codes of conduct and maintain high standards.

type of property suits the client best, including areas with the best rental yields. How to present the property to its best advantage and of course provide finance to purchase the property. Our aim is always to find a tenant in the shortest possible time at the best possible price. We have a loyal customer base of landlords, some who have been with us since inception, many of these being clients of Sarah’s from her RBS days. Our property portfolio has grown significantly over the years
which is due to repeat business from existing landlords and of course client referrals. Last year we relocated our business into Chesterfield which has been a resounding success. Our lovely new offices are based just outside the town centre and provide far more facilities than we previously had including customer parking, private meeting rooms and conference facilities. WE ALSO DO SALES Over the last 18 months we
have undertaken more and more sales of both investment properties as well as residential. If you have an investment property that you wish to sell, then we are the agent with the expertise to do this. We have a significant amount of overseas investors who are keen to build property portfolios in the area. We also welcome Residential Sales as we regularly assist our corporate clients with relocation of their employees either for rentals or purchases.

songs. Sparkles Buxton provided willow lanterns and tea lights to light up the route. The Parade was led by Buxton Musical Society’s Andy Parker, who also led the singing, with Town Crier Bill Weston OBE in fine voice as well. County Councillor Tony Kemp, who supported the event through his council community fund, welcomed everyone to the celebrations. “We were delighted that so many people turned up, with so many of them dressing up in something sparkly or in pirate costume,” said Andrew Lewis, of Buxton Sparkles. “It made the whole thing more magical. It was just great team work between the Town Team, Buxton Sparkles and all the organisations which took part. We hope even more people will come along next
year.” There was also a special Christmas Market organised by the Buxton Markets Company on the Market Place, with a variety of food and drink, a children's ride and other entertainment. In the Gardens there were illuminated sculptures, paddlers on the lake and more food and drink. And there is still time to take part. Town Team Chairman Roddie Maclean, thanking everyone in Buxton who helped to make the event such a success, said:
‘It’s not too late to decorate. It could be a lamp post, hedge or tree near to where you meet or your premises. Go to http://buxtontownteam.org, just click on the Christmas card to ‘Adopt a Spot’, and register it on the list by sending us an email. “We are suggesting low, or no, cost decorations and give lots of ideas of stunning things to make so, on the same page, you will find our ‘How to’ pages, just click on ‘some ideas’.” All decorations should be taken down by Saturday, January 7th.

Peter Pan and the pirates turned Buxton into Neverland on Saturday during the town’s first ever Christmas Parade. Buxton Sparkles lit the way through streets decorated by local people as part of the Town Team’s Buxton in Bloomin’ Winter campaign to put everyone in the festive spirit. Hedges, railings, trees and lamp-posts had been festooned with the product of some imaginative thinking as plastic milk bottles were turned into flying doves and red ribbons made the town look like one big Christmas present. Free pirate hats encouraged 450 people to join in with the Peter Pan theme as the Parade processed along Spring Gardens, across Terrace Road, up the Slopes, over the Market Place and down Fountain Street to the Pavilion Gardens, stopping on the way to sing seasonal

Strangers to the little village of Glutton near Hartington frequently need to be advised on how to pronounce its name– the first syllable should sound like ‘glue’, i.e. Glueton. In the mid-1800s, Winster historian Llewellyn Jewitt unwittingly wrote an amusing entry about Glutton in his diary, one of several snippets referring to his attendance at a 3-day farmsale. Despite feeling under the weather on Saturday 17 January 1863, Jewitt had travelled by rail and then carriage to Glutton. The bone-shaking journey laid him so low that he had to send for his ‘dear wife’ Betsy, who joined him on the 19th, the first day of the sale. This turned out to be a very wintry, stormy day. The diarist described ‘A capital sale, but the quantity eaten and drunk by the
farmers, etc., is terrible. Two rounds of beef and a lamb gone in no time. Six eighteen-gallon barrels of ale, ten gallons of gin, and brandy and wine in abundance, besides two strikes of potatoes and loads of bread – all gone! The house literally eaten out. I am very ill, and have been quite unable to get about. Sale realized above £1240.’ Implements sold on the second day realised less than £100, then business was concluded on day three with the dispersal of furniture etc., all presumably auctioned off between satisfying the healthy appetites of the ravenous if not ‘gluttonous’ farmers.

Celebrating our fifth Christmas already since our opening, we pause to remember each of our customers and the contributions they make to our small business. We are grateful for the pleasure of serving them and meeting their needs. Without their support we would not be able to keep searching for new ideas, new quality stock whilst trying to reveal craftsmanship in all its glory. We would like to thank from our hearts each one of you customers and friends and hope that the joy of Christmas will fill your heart and homes.
This year was Holy Trinity Church's 8th Christmas Tree Festival. It is an event that is supported by local organisations, businesses, the school, fellow Churches and individual members of the Tansley Community. Each year has a different theme and this year "Nativity" was chosen so that we may reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. There were some wonderful displays and trees on show. Thanks must go to the Cromford Community Band for a fantastic concert of Christmas Carols and traditional songs on the evening of 9th December. At the School Christmas service on the eve of our festival Rev. Reade pointed out that Love was at the centre of Christmas. Christmas focused on "The Nativity" shows us how much God loves us " God so loved the World that he gave His only Son". God sent His Son among us ( Immanuel) not with great fanfare, He did not tell the most powerful of
people first. He told the shepherds who were looked down on by others. Our King of Kings was not born in a palace but in a lowly stable. There was no other way for man to have a relationship with God. It was also necessary that God's Son was born from man as well as God so that Jesus could atone our sins and be The True Saviour to those who would trust, follow and love Him. Let us pray that during the Christmas period and beyond, our love shows others of God's love for them. Wishing God's blessings to you all this Christmas. Christmas Tree Festival Team

About five years ago I was diagnosed with something called Basal Cell Carcinoma which is a form of skin cancer. Although it’s not normally life threatening it can become very nasty if not treated early. Since then it has come back twice, the most recent and actually the most insignificant looking one being the worst, which after surgery to remove it also needed a course of radiotherapy which meant attending Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield every day for two weeks. The actual treatment only took a few minutes each time, but being a lifelong sufferer of anxiety I was extremely worried about suffering a panic attack in the middle of a session. Thankfully this
sharing this story has helped even one person in any way I shall be very happy. You can read the full ‘diary’ on my Facebook page. Next (going to be all clear) check-up in February.
didn’t happen as one of the precautions I took was to park a good twenty minutes’ walk away from the hospital and strolled down making a conscious effort to absorb all that was going on around such as workmen, trees, traffic etc. I wanted that time on my own before and after to gather my thoughts and it really helped me whilst lying in the radiotherapy room. The two weeks were full of different events that helped me on the journey, such as

sharing the progress of each day on my Facebook page and receiving hundreds of good wishes, some of which were from people who don’t even know me, others from people much worse off than myself. One day on my way back I called in to Calver Garden Centre café for a cuppa and the lady in charge
enquired after my wellbeing as I must have looked a bit jaded. When I mentioned where I’d been she brought me tea and biscuits ‘on the house’ and looked after me. Thank you to her, my family and friends, my lovely lady friend and of course the staff and other patients I met at Weston Park Hospital. If

Ken Loach's searing masterpiece. Film Friday special screening. Daniel Blake (59) has worked as a joiner most of his life in Newcastle. Now, for the first time ever, he needs help from the State. He crosses paths with single mother Katie and her two young children, Daisy and Dylan. Katie’s only chance to escape a one-roomed homeless hostel in London has been to accept a flat in a city she doesn’t know, some 300 miles away. Daniel and Katie find themselves in no-man’s land, caught on the barbed wire of welfare bureaucracy as played out against the rhetoric of ‘striver and skiver’ in modern-day Britain.

After visiting Gambia in January 2016 a Bakewell couple found St Johns School for the Deaf were short of a lot of tools in the carpenters classroom, so since January they collected 20 different tools that the school were short
of and Bakewell Travel got extra charity baggage, so all the tools and spares went in an Aquabox to make 20k and luckily they managed to get through customs in the Gambia. The photograph shows the 1st family filter
Aquabox volunteers made in 2011. No 1 filter has been working in the Gambia for more than 5 years, giving a family of 6 children clean drinking water, keeping them healthy and attending school every day.

to 1666, and the events that have taken place in 2015 and 2016 as we commemorate the brave actions of the people of Eyam.

ENJOYING A HEALTHY HOLIDAY I would like to wish readers of The Peak Advertiser a very Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year. If you would like to celebrate over the holiday period but keep things healthier, here are some tips to cope with the festive period without piling on the pounds or spoiling the fun! To put on a pound in weight you need to consume 3,500 calories more than your body needs. The average British person will consume around 6,000 calories on Christmas Day alone – this is about 3 times as many calories as we need. In addition over the festive period, the average person may consume an extra 500 calories per day, equating to a weight gain of around 5lb by the time January 1st comes around. Here are some useful tips to make sure the only thing that gets really stuffed this Christmas is the turkey! Planning ahead is always key. When shopping make a list at home and stick to it, avoid aisles full of temptation, and don’t shop on an empty stomach – you are more likely to give in to tempting offers and treats. Shopping online is another way to stick to your list and avoiding tempting treats. If you want some festive snacks, try plain popcorn, pretzels, and vegetable crudités with low fat dips. When eating out, eat a small breakfast/lunch so you are not too hungry before your meal and avoid any other treats. Try to look at the menu online beforehand and choose healthy options. If you are attending a party with a buffet try not to hover by the buffet table. When
choosing your food try and visit only once using a smaller dessert sized plate. Avoid the high saturated fat offerings l i k e sausage
rolls, pork pies and quiche, instead choose salads, seafood, fish, fruit, skinless chicken or lean meat cuts and vegetable crudités. Why not try smoked salmon as a starter for your Christmas dinner – this is a great source of omega-3 fatty acid, which is good for your heart. Vegetable soup will help to fill you up and also boost your 7 a day target. Turkey is a great source of protein and a low fat meat, but why not take the skin off before you tuck in – this is where most of the fat is contained. Salmon or white fish are great alternatives to meat or if you are vegetarian for protein add nuts, seeds, beans or pulses. When serving your meal around a third of your dinner plate should be vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, peas, cabbage and carrots. Steam or boil veg for the shortest length of time possible in
the smallest amount of water necessary to keep all the nutrients in. Use the vegetable water for gravy and any leftover vegetables for a
delicious soup. For crispy roast potatoes place cooled par boiled potatoes in a bag with a tablespoon of rapeseed oil and gently massage into the potatoes. Roast in a non-stick dish in a hot oven for around 45 minutes – this will produce delicious crispy low fat roast potatoes. Make your gravy by removing the fat from meat juices, try using a fruit-based stuffing and make bread sauce with low fat milk. Those who enjoy a drink tend to drink more over the Christmas period. Alcohol is very energy dense (7kcal/g versus 4kcal/g for protein or carbohydrates and 9kcal/g for fat). Avoid sweet cocktails and creamy liqueurs and be aware of home measures! Try alternating your drink with a glass of water or other calorie-free drinks. If you enjoy a short with a mixer choose low calorie options; try soda, sparkling water
with a few slices of seasonal fruit or unsweetened fruit juices with spices. If you don’t like consuming artificial sweeteners there are several brands that now produce low calorie mixers using natural ingredients. The average mince pie contains about 250 calories and that’s before it’s covered in cream or brandy butter. Remove the lid to cut calories. Christmas is also the time of year when most of us have boxes of chocolates and biscuits to hand. Think about choosing one luxury box as a treat and share!! However, Christmas should be a time for festive fun and special food. You shouldn’t feel guilty about special treats now and then, you just need to make sure that they are treats and not the whole of your food intake. For balance stock up on some healthy alternatives too, such as exotic fruits, Satsumas piled high in a bowl, dried fruit and unsalted nuts. Most people will consume more calories than normal over this period so to combat this why not get out into our beautiful countryside for walks and burn off some calories whilst enjoying the stunning scenery of the Peaks.

For its final meeting of 2016 the Bakewell and District Probus Club was taken on a photographic safari in Southern Africa by club member, Peter Donaldson. However, this was no ordinary safari because the primary object of the speaker’s travels had been to hunt down and take photographs of the rapidly dwindling numbers of
steam locomotives working in Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa during the course of five visits between 1993 and 2002. For those in his audience who might not share his great enthusiasm for railways, he also showed photos of other aspects of these countries, including aerial shots taken by him from a small plane flying over and around the
magnificent Victoria Falls on the River Zambesi. Further downstream, on the shores of Lake Kariba, the speaker had been privileged to encounter a pride of eleven lions, on this occasion not from the comparative safety of a vehicle but when actually on foot - albeit with an experienced guide. This was certainly a thrilling if, at the

time, a heart-stopping moment! To conclude his talk, the speaker showed a collection of photographs of steam trains taken in the spectacular scenery of South Africa. Further details of Bakewell and District Probus Club can be found on its website at www.bakewellprobus.org

as our famous well dressing celebrations. It is more than just a church - it binds our wonderful community together. “We hope people – both local people and people who visit our village year after year – will help support this appeal.” To donate visit: https://www.justgiving.com/ crowdfunding/youlgrave-church

Buxton Soroptimists met at the Old Hall to discuss their many recent activities. Members had been busy making 150 red bows to decorate Buxton, as part of the Town team, & Sparkles initiative to brighten the town for Christmas. They had endured the coldest weather to fix the bows to railings, and the effect was beautiful and worth the frozen fingers. Members also prepared for the party they held for Child Carers. At the Dinner meeting Les Skidmore and

Mr Colin Boynton with Harpur Hill Primary School’s Council and Mrs McNamara (Council Co-Ordinator) Yet another kind donation from Mr Colin Boynton In June 2016: Colin kindly presented a cheque for £379.00 from his un-used expenses as Deputy Mayor to buy computer tablets for the school. After Colin’s meeting with the School Council he decided to donate a further £400.00 for the school to purchase another 5 tablets!
The money actually came from Colin’s Councillor's Initiative Fund; this fund is a sum of money (£750 per councillor this year) which councillors can donate to whatever they consider a good cause in the community. On 18th November 2016 the School Council thanked Colin for their extra computer tablets.

Harthill, near Youlgrave, is not an actual village as such, yet within its boundaries, marked on three sides by a brook, a river and a dyke, we find Harthill Hall, Harthill New Farm and Harthill Moor Farm. Within less than a square mile on Harthill Moor stand the rocky heights of Robin Hood’s Stride, a hermit’s cave and important prehistoric sites including a stone circle, earthworks and evidence of Iron Age occupation. The Domesday Survey records ‘Hortel’ with four bovates of land taxable, some waste and three acres of meadow. Until six centuries ago, the manor of Harthill was held by a family of that name. On the death of Sir Richard de Harthill in 1390, the manor formed part of the estates which passed by marriage to Edmund Cokayne of Ashbourne. Not for another two centuries would the manor again change hands, when it was sold to John Manners and thus descended to the Dukes of Rutland. Sung for his soul In the mid-13th century the Lord of Harthil, or Hartle, manor was an earlier Sir Richard de Harthill who, according to contemporary documents, had a chapel at Harthill where he founded a chantry — an endowment to provide for masses to be sung for his soul. This chantry was the subject of a dispute that arose in 1259 between the knight and the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield. To get the matter resolved, Sir Richard agreed to make two annual payments of one mark of silver to the Dean and Chapter plus all tithes of grain from Harthill. Lesser tithes would support the chaplain of Harthill chapel. Should the knight or his
heirs defect on payment of the silver marks, their chapel chantry would cease to exist. United to Youlgrave Harthill chapel was next referred to in the late 13th century in respect of the visitation of the Diocese of Lichfield by John Peckham, Archbishop of Canterbury. Whilst he noted that suitable sustenance had been provided for the Harthill priest, Peckham censured the Chapter regarding the various chapelries of Bakewell, including Harthill. He had been dismayed to learn that parishioners were obliged to bear the cost of providing the expensive and numerous requisites deemed necessary for worship. The outcome was an agreement whereby the Dean and Chapter should find vestments, a cross for processions and a lesser cross for the dead, a bier, a censer, a lanthorn, bells, manuals, holy vessels, a font with lock and key, and other ‘ornaments’. Parishioners were left to provide a chalice and missal and to meet all repairs to the fabric of the building. Presumably due to a lapse in the payment of silver by either the de Harthills or Cokaynes, the chantry had ceased to exist even before Henry V111 dissolved all such foundations. Thomas Cromwell’s ever-efficient Pa r l i a m e n ta r y Commissioners made no reference to its existence in 1650 when they recommended that the township of Harthill be united to Youlgrave. The site of the chapel became lost and forgotten. Except for a few ancient records its existence would have passed into history unknown. Julie Bunting

Youlgrave Church Roof which has been around since approximately 1150 AD needs urgent maintenance and repairs, and villagers have turned to baking cakes and Crowdfunding to raise the much needed funds. Lynn Nolan created a superbly designed Youlgrave ‘cake village’ with a number of Youlgrave’s key buildings replicated, including the church, pubs and well-beloved houses. The village has been in the church since the beginning of November for people to view. Baked by over 30 people in the village, the cake designs are being auctioned on 15th December to raise further money for the roof appeal at a special evening event in the village hall. Cake fundraising and other fundraising activities including donations have resulted in over £104,000 being raised. A further £96,000 is needed and the villagers have launched a JustGiving page to raise the rest.
Hartington Surgery in Dig Street has been rated as outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. Importance was placed in treating patients with dignity and respect. The practice had recently received the Derbyshire Dignity Campaign Award, an initiative developed by the local County Council. Overall feedback from patients was extremely positive with regards the care and services they received. Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and respect, and were involved in decisions about their care and treatment. The services were delivered in a way to ensure flexibility, choice and continuity of care. The standard appointment times for all clinical staff with the exception of locum GPs, had been extended from 10 to 15 minutes for each patient. The practice provides a range of services on-site to enable patients to be treated locally and in response to their needs. For example, the provision of 24 hour cardiac monitoring (including interpretation) is funded by the practice in response to patients’ needs. The premises were on one level and provided good access and facilities for patients, and were well equipped to meet their needs. There was an open and transparent approach to safety. Effective systems were generally in place to keep patients safe, including the management of medicines. There was evidence of quality improvement including clinical audits. The culture and leadership empowered staff to carry out lead roles and to drive continuous improvements. The practice had a highly motivated, experienced and cohesive staff team to enable them to deliver well-led services. The practice actively sought the views of patients and staff, which it acted on to improve the services. The patient participation group (PPG) had been established 27 years, and continued to influence practice developments. The PPG worked in partnership with the practice and were actively involved with many aspects of the practice’s work. Complaints were listened to and acted on to ensure that appropriate learning and improvements had taken place. There were several areas of outstanding practice in response to the problems associated with rural isolation and lack of local services, a practice nurse provided a home assessment service and health checks, for elderly, housebound and vulnerable patients. This helped to identify health or social issues that may not have been reported, and ensure patient’s needs were met. The practice population included a large farming community. The staff team had built up strong relationships with the farming families, to increase their willingness to access support and health services locally. The practice worked closely with the Farming Life Centre, a local charity dedicated to improving the quality of life of farmers and rural communities through its services.

HOUSE CLEARANCE
MATLOCK AREA U3A Members of Matlock Area U3A enjoyed their annual Christmas meal and party at Matlock Golf Club on Friday 30th November. During an excellent meal they were baffled and amused at their tables by members of the Derby Magic Circle. Afterwards they danced to the "Dying Embers", back by popular demand. This rounded off a highly successful year for the U3A during which membership has grown to nearly 650 and the number of groups has risen to over 50 with eight new groups added this year. The U3A welcomes anyone who is not in full-time paid employment and is a great way to make new local friends or to take up a new interest in a relaxed, informal way. It also organises social events, visits and theatre trips. All of this is covered by a single annual membership of just £10 per year with no extra costs for each group that you join; you are also welcome to dip into groups to test whether that activity suits you or not. Whatever your interests, you will find friendly, like-minded people at U3A. If you are feeling active, you can take up boules, bowls, birding, wild flowers or walking (short or longer), folk dancing or tap dancing, motoring or motorcycling, or table tennis. Try your hand at bridge, canasta, chess, mah jong or scrabble. If you want to feed the mind with a new skill or interest, you can choose from painting, art and poetry
appreciation, book and film groups, creative writing, Shakespeare studies, current affairs, history, local history or family history, French and German conversation, gardening, geography and geology, jazz, singing, sign language, or science & technology. For those who want to feed something else, U3A offers dining and wine appreciation. There is even a “digital desk” at the monthly coffee mornings where you can get advice about problems with new technology. For the more serious subjects, there are no exams like adult education classes as the accent is on informal selfhelp with members learning from each other and sharing their experience. For details please see the web site www.matlockareau3a.org.u k or to join, phone 01629 583029 or e-mail membership@matlockarea u3a.org.uk

Breakdowns are more common in the winter and road conditions can be really challenging, especially when snow and ice strike. Here's how to stay safe... Batteries and electrics Car batteries rarely last longer than five years, and there are extra demands on them in the winter, thanks to lights, heating and wipers. Tips • Turn off electrical loads like lights, heated rear window and wipers before trying to start the engine. • Use the starter in short five-second bursts. • If the engine doesn't start quickly, wait 30 seconds between attempts. • If you don't use your car often, give it a regular overnight trickle charge.
Antifreeze Antifreeze only costs a few pounds, but a frozen and cracked engine costs hundreds to repair. You need a 50-50 mix of antifreeze and water for the winter – this protects your engine down to -34C. Most modern cars use long-life antifreeze. Make sure you use the right type. Some types of antifreeze need changing after only two years. Check your service schedule. Troubleshooting A continuous squealing noise when you start up probably means the water pump’s frozen - it's the fan belt slipping on the pulley. Stop the engine straight away and let it thaw out. This could take days unless you can move it into a heated garage. If your car overheats a few miles from home, it's likely that the radiator has frozen. Stop straight away so you don’t cause more serious damage. Vision • Clean your windscreen inside and out. • Keep the windscreen and other windows clear of dirt, snow and stickers, to avoid a fine. • Clear snow from the roof – it can fall onto the windscreen and block your view. • Air-con demists the screen faster and reduces condensation. • Replace worn or damaged wiper blades.
MOTORCYCLES WANTED WANTED MOTORCYCLES Anything considered. £50£10,000. Cash on collection. Please phone Tony on 01629 823276/07768 906162.
• Don’t leave your wipers on auto when you park up if there’s a risk of frost. If the blades freeze to the screen, you could damage the blades or wiper motor when you turn the ignition on. • Use a suitable additive in your screenwash to reduce the chance of it freezing. Visibility • Make sure all lights are working and lenses clean. • If the roads are really mucky you might have to clean your lights after every trip. • Keep number plates clean, to avoid fines. • If you have to clear snow, don’t forget the lights – front and back. • You must use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced. If you use fog lights, remember to switch them off when visibility improves so they don’t dazzle other drivers or obscure your brake lights. Tyres • We recommend at least 3mm of tread for the winter. • Don't let air out of your tyres to get more grip – it doesn't work, and it’s unsafe. • Only use snow chains if there’s enough snow to prevent damage to the road. • Think about getting winter tyres or all-season tyres – these are made from a special rubber that gives better grip in cold, wet conditions. More about tyres Need new tyres? Book a fitting and we’ll come to you. Buying winter tyres? Get a free fitting at your home or workplace.
Snow and ice Take it slow – with stopping distances 10 times longer, gentle manoeuvres are the key to safe driving in ice and snow. • Wear comfortable, dry shoes for driving. • Pull away in second gear, easing your foot off the clutch gently to avoid wheel-spin. • Uphill – leave plenty of room or wait until it’s clear so you don’t have to stop part way up. Keep a constant speed and try to
avoid having to change gear on the hill. • Downhill – slow down before the hill, use a low gear and try to avoid braking. Leave as much room as you can to the car in front. • If you have to use your brakes, apply them gently. • If you drive an Automatic, check the handbook – some have a winter mode or recommend selecting ‘2’ in slippery conditions. • If you do get stuck, straighten the steering and clear the snow from the wheels. Put a sack or old rug in front of the driving wheels to give the tyres some grip. Before you set off • Allow extra time for winter journeys. • Try to get up at least 10 minutes early, to give you time to de-ice the car. • Check fuel levels – keep at least a quarter of a tank in case of unexpected delay. • Don't drive off like a tankcommander, with a tiny hole cleared in the windscreen. • Clear all windows using a scraper and de-icer. • Use a cigarette lighter to warm a key for a frozen lock. • Plan routes to favour
major roads, which are more likely to be cleared and gritted. Article with kind permission of the Automobile Association.

The weather forecast had predicted an early mist accompanied by a sharp frost, perfect conditions for one of those dramatic and atmospheric photographs taken from somewhere high up in the peaks. However, after a very busy weekend I just couldn’t drag myself out of bed in time to see it, and so when I finally arrived at Curbar Gap car park, the early morning ‘shepherd’s warning’ pink sky had faded away and the sunken mist had become a lifting haze. Thankfully the severe frost was still very evident though and any patches of mud had become frozen solid. Puddles had turned into miniature skating rinks along the top of the gritstone escarpment where standing stones and rocks looked like they had been sprinkled with icing sugar. I was in time to pass early morning dog walkers, probably locals on their constitutional pad and plod after breakfast, and actually witnessed a couple of dogs licking the frost off some rocks, almost gnawing at the unexpected and tasty frozen crust. Meanwhile, the valley below was an ethereal haze with little plumes of smoke rising up from the chimneys of shadowy houses Calver Mill looked positively spooky and Stoke Hall surreal. After a good stride out I turned down by a yellow arrow footpath marker to follow a steep path between Curbar Edge and Froggatt Edge that would eventually bring me out near the Chequers Inn. Before entering a band of woodland though, I had to manoeuvre the path down to a tall rock face which was long ago quarried for millstones as was evident by a few abandoned rejects at the side of the
path. This particular rocky face is popular with climbers who over the centuries have given names to many of the prominent features and
particular routes that they may take up these almost sheer cliffs. For example, along Curbar Edge there are The Peapod, Elder Crack, Moon Walk, Profit of Doom and Don’t Slip Now! Just before ‘The Pinnacle’ I turned steeply downhill and made an extremely slow descent because I had to pick my way carefully through a long succession of trip hazards, painstakingly placing each step as I avoided exposed tree roots, slippery rocks and wobbly stones. A carpet of oak mulch cushioned my path through the trees that were stripped bare of leaves but so encrusted with deep moss that at times the branches resembled the hanging gardens of Babylon. A few
songbirds flitted about amongst the branches, chirruping as they went; a festive robin bobbed by to say hello and a jay screeched at me in warning from somewhere
deep in the woods, whilst a camouflaged cock pheasant made his presence known by a shrill call. I did a quick scoot across the road by the pub. It is thought than an inn has been on this site for the last 500 years, providing sustenance and shelter for weary travellers. However, long gone are the pedlars, packhorse men, carriages and carts that would have occasionally passed by, nowadays this is a very busy main road. Another footpath led me down to the bottom of the valley to emerge near the beautiful Froggatt bridge with its tall and small twin arches. Constructed in 1688 to an unusually unsymmetrical design, one of the arches
is round and the other pointed. This has been an important crossing of the Derwent for many centuries beside the little settlement that in 1203 was recorded as being called Froggegate. From here I wandered along the riverside path to Curbar Bridge. Some shy goosanders were playing in the deep dark waters of the Derwent, but they seemed to dive every time I aimed my camera in their direction. A gathering of mallard on the other hand were quite prepared to pose for a snap. After a bit more waterside wandering beyond Curbar Bridge I began to ascend, following a steep path beyond the weir constructed to hold water back in a giant pond from Calver Mill. A separate stream that once led to the waterwheel is known as The Goyt. I headed up through some trees to a stile and then across a field leading on to Dukes Drive. From here a right and left and I could make my way up Riddings Lane to the heart of Curbar, passing along the way a succession of fabulous properties. It is said that one particular road in the village can boast the highest average house values of any road in the whole of Derbyshire. Arriving at a corner where there is an unusual round trough surrounded by sunken millstones and a sheltered spring which was the village’s main water supply until the early 1900’s, I did a left to walk up The Green bringing me to Bar Road. The end of my walk and return to Curbar Gap was another slow amble as this time I had to make my way up the steep hill which in the 1700’s was part of the turnpike road from Chesterfield to Tideswell. I was thrilled when I managed to find three roadside stones along the way, carved long ago by Edwin Gregory who was a mole-catcher for the Duke of Devonshire. He was a devout Wesleyan and was so grateful to recover from a serious illness that he carved biblical references on the stones as a form of thanksgiving. I’m not sure how many there were originally but it is still possible to find John, Isaiah and Hebrews. If I’d hung around at my car for a couple of hours more I could have watched the ‘shepherds delight’ sun setting as a honey coloured glow to the west. We are now rapidly approaching the winter solstice and our shortest day of the year. There are not enough daylight hours to pack in many miles of walking at the moment, but I might get to go a bit further if I could just prise myself out of my warm and cosy bed! Sally Mosley
