St Michael's Church, Kirk Langley

Kirk Langley is a village and civil parish in Derbyshire. The village is 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Derby and 2 miles (3.2 km) south east of Brailsford on the A52 road. The population of the civil parish taken at the 2011 Census (including Meynell Langley) was 686.The Meynell family have held land at Kirk Langley since the reign of Henry I, and the village consists of two parts, Kirk Langley with the parish church, and Meynell Langley. The former Meynell Arms Hotel, now a private house, dates from the Georgian period. The Poles of Radbourne have also had landed interests in this area for many years. In the late 1940s a small council estate was built at Kirk Langley, close to the A52. The Church of St Michael was built in the early 14th century on the site of a much older one, for which traces of a Saxon wall near the west door provides some evidence. It has a Perpendicular tower and contains heraldic glass and tiles. The screen under the tower is one of the oldest timber screens in Derbyshire. There are monuments to the Meynell and Pole families, including a large marble altar tomb commemorating Henry Poole, a prominent local politician who died in 1559, and his wife Dorothy, an elaborate memorial to Lieutenant William Meynell who was killed at Giurgiu on the Danube in 1854 when fighting with the Turks against the Russians, and an early Victorian memorial to a Meynell 'who was deprived of his life in a collision of carriages' in Clay Cross tunnel. Leeke Memorial Hall was the village school until 1879. It is now the centre of many village activities, accommodating many of the village's societies. It is named after the Rev W. M. Leeke. Until 1952, when mains water reached the village, the ancient Maple Well provided the water supply. The village has a Church of England primary school in Moor Lane, which has about ninety pupils.

Radbourne is a small village and civil parish in the English county of Derbyshire, a few miles west of Derby. As the population of the civil parish taken at the 2011 census was less than 100 details are included in the civil parish of Etwall. Of interest are St Andrew's Church and Radbourne Hall. It has been said that Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed one night at the hall in 1745 on his march south when his army halted at Swarkestone Bridge just south of Derby.It would appear that Radbourne was part of the lands of the Ferrers, earls of Derby, forfeited to the Crown in the 1260s after the Baronial War, which were ultimately used to endow Edmund of Lancaster, second son of Henry III, and younger brother of Edward I. In the main the entries in The National Archives that relate to Radbourne are rather mundane, so that in the earliest one, that for 1377 (TNA DL 30/45/520, rot 14d.), John del Enese and Roger Harwode, the men who answered at the court (?tithingmen), reported that Robert Jort and William Brewode had brewed [against the assise], and were in mercy. Jort was fined 7 d., and Brewode, 3d. Further entries in the reigns of Richard II, and Henry IV and V report similar offences. In 1426 (TNA DL 30/45/568, rot. 5d.), John Robynsone and William Bearle simply stated ‘quod omnia bene’ (‘all is well’). The Poles don't make an appearance until the reign of Henry VI when in 1422, Peter de la Pole was one of those attending court for Radbourne (TNA DL 30/45/567 rot. 6d.). In 1466 during the reign of Edward IV (TNA DL 30/45/579, rot. 3d.), Ralph Pole was granted a licence to concord, in other words to execute a final concord for 12d. The medieval knight Sir John Chandos, a close friend of Edward, the Black Prince, hailed from Radbourne in the 14th century. Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles, lived at Radbourne Hall for a short while after his marriage to Elizabeth Pole in 1781.

Mackworth Castle was a 14th- or 15th-century structure located in Derbyshire, at the upper end of Mackworth village near Derby. The home for several centuries of the Mackworth family, it was at some point reduced to the ruins of a gatehouse suggestive of a grand castle. A survey from 1911 suggested that though the gatehouse resembled a castle, the rest of the structure may have been more modest. The remains are part of a designated Scheduled Ancient Monument.
