ASHOVER: North East Derbyshire Parish #21 of 24

The centre of this village is a conservation area with many an old building and relic to feast your eyes upon. A small settlement, the parish boundaries extend for many miles, including the nearby settlements of Alicehead, Alton, Ashover Hay, Farhill, Kelstedge, Littlemoor, Milltown, Spitewinter, Stone Edge and Uppertown. Known in Saxon times as Essovre (possibly meaning 'beyond the ash trees' or 'ash tree slope'), this was probably in existence during the first taxation survey of England by King Alfred in 893. However, the first written reference to the village occurs in the Domesday Book of 1086, owned by Ralph Fitzhubert and credited with a church, a priest, several ploughs, and a mill. It was the scene of a confrontation between the Royalists and the Roundheads during the English Civil War in the 17th century. The Roundheads, short of ammunition, demolished the windows of the church and used the lead to make bullets. Industrial history here is linked with lead mining and quarrying, both of which date back to Roman times. 'The Fabrick' lies to east of the village and is a gritstone boulder and viewpoint. On a clear day, views there can be nothing short of spectacular. It is well worth the climb up the narrow, sometimes uneven path to reach it from the road. For many years, The Fabrick was privately owned by the Bassett sisters who were descendants of the family known for creating Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts. And all of that is before you’ve even begun to dig into the Light Railway! Welcome to ASHOVER. **** My name is Andy. I am armed with a car, a GoPro and an unhealthy amount of time on my hands.
