Blackwell, Bolsover
Blackwell, Bolsover

Blackwell is a village in Derbyshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 4,389. It is one of the four villages that make up the civil parish of Blackwell within the District of Bolsover - the other villages being Hilcote, Newton and Westhouses. The Parish Council meets monthly. A brief history of the Parish of Blackwell was published in 1994 (the centenary year of the formation of Blackwell Parish Council).It is 3½ miles north-east of Alfreton. William Foulke the Sheffield United, Chelsea, Bradford City and England goalkeeper lived in Blackwell before moving to Sheffield to sign for Sheffield United. Another native of Blackwell was Percy Toplis – The Monocled Mutineer – who went on to become a mutineer and conman during and after World War I. Toplis, while wanted for murdering a taxi driver, was eventually shot and killed by police officers on the Scottish Borders. A television series based on the life of the Monocled Mutineer was written by Alan Bleasdale in 1986 and broadcast on the BBC. In 1910 the highest ever ninth-wicket partnership in first-class cricket was scored by John Chapman and Arnold Warren batting for Derbyshire against Warwickshire. Still unsurpassed over a hundred years later, the record stand of 283 was made in three hours. At that time Blackwell Miners Welfare possessed a first-class playing surface and was one of the grounds sometimes used by Derbyshire CCC for County Championship fixtures. The ground still exists today, and is little changed from how it was in 1910, but it is now only used for cricket at a local level, and also for football. The main industry of Blackwell was coal mining. On 11 November 1895, seven men were killed in an underground explosion at the colliery. The mine was closed in 1969 since when light industry has taken over. Blackwell has one church: St Werburgh's Parish Church .Blackwell forms part of the Bolsover parliamentary constituency; the MP is Mark Fletcher (Conservative).

Carnfield Hall
Carnfield Hall

Carnfield Hall is a privately owned country house located at South Normanton, near Alfreton in Derbyshire, England. It is a Grade II* listed building. The estate includes around ninety acres of park and ancient woodland. The manor was anciently held by the Babington family of Dethick Manor, but was sold in about 1502 to Hugh Revell, a younger brother of John Revell of Ogston Hall.Documents relating to the Carnfield estate date from the early 14th century. The earliest parts of the present structure date from the mid 15th century, but the west facing hall was extensively reconstructed in the 1560s by Edward Revell, son of Hugh.Robert Revell, (High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1700) substantially enlarged and improved the house in about 1710, when a new entrance front was created to the south with a three-storey, nine bayed, gabled facade. The Grade II listed coachhouse was also built at about this time.Further reconstructions and additions were made to the hall throughout the 19th century. The architecture of Carnfield Hall is therefore a mix of Elizabethan, Jacobean and Victorian styles.When Edward Revell died in 1770, the estate passed to his natural son Tristam Revell and on his death in 1797 to a cousin Sir John Eardley Wilmot. Subsequently, the hall had several owners including Joseph Wilson in 1834, Vaughan Radford, and Melville Watson, whose widow lived there until 1949 when it was sold to Noel Darbyshire. Structural damage from mining subsidence caused Carnfield Hall to be abandoned in 1960, and it fell into decline. Despite an attempt to demolish the hall, and a plan to convert it into a hotel, Carnfield was eventually bought by antique dealer James Cartland in 1987. The hall has been extensively restored by Cartland in the intervening years, together with purchase of surrounding lands. Cartland sold the hall to Graham Oliver in 2011.Today, Carnfield Hall is open to the public for guided tours of two people or more by appointment only. Various events such as plays, fairs and nature walks are held throughout the year. The hall and grounds are also hired out for private receptions and corporate events. In March 2010, Carnfield Hall was the subject of a Channel 4 television programme presented by hotelier Ruth Watson as part of her Country House Rescue series.
