Dethick Manor
Dethick Manor

Dethick Manor is a 16th-century manor house, situated at Dethick, Amber Valley, Derbyshire, much altered in the 18th century and converted to use as a farmhouse. It is a Grade II* listed building. The manor of Dethick was anciently owned by the eponymous family. On the death in 1403 of Robert Dethick, the heir to the family's property at Dethick (though not the last Dethick male - the family owned land in Breadsall and Newhall in Derbyshire), the property passed to Thomas Babington who had married Isabel, the elder of Robert's two daughters. Babington was the son of Sir John Babington and nephew of Sir William Babington, Chief Justice in 1423. The son of Isabel and Thomas, Sir John Babington of Dethick (High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1479) died in 1485 at the Battle of Bosworth Field. His son Thomas and his grandson Anthony both served as High Sheriff. The manor house, dating from the 15th century, was rebuilt by the Babington family in the 16th century. Sir Anthony Babington, born at the manor house in 1561, was attained and executed for High Treason for his part in the Babington Plot. As a result of his earlier transfer of ownership to his younger brother the sequestration of the estate was avoided. In the 17th century the Babingtons sold the property. Later owners included Blackwell and Hallowes. The house was eventually used as a farmhouse and was substantially altered and extended for that purpose in the 18th century. Substantial elements of the 15th-century manor house remain incorporated into the present structure. The manor farm was supplemented by the adjoining church farm, which an 1891 source describes as follows: "The church of St. John the Baptist is a small edifice of stone, dating from 1220, and consists of chancel, nave and a lofty western tower, dated 1535, containing one small bell: there are three memorial windows, and 60 sittings. ... The soil is sandy; subsoil, gritstone. The chief crops are wheat, barley, oats and about one-half the land is in pasture. The acreage is 1,826; rateable value, £4,748; the population in 1881 was 1,036." In 1530-32, Anthony Babington raised the original 13th-century roof by means of clerestory windows and added the unusual tower, distinctive of Dethick.From 2008 to 2021, Dethick Manor Farm had been owned by the television presenter Simon Groom. He and his wife ran the 170-acre (0.69 km2) farm. The Grooms have since sold the property. Goldie, Simon's dog who appeared alongside him on Blue Peter, is buried on the grounds of Dethick Manor Farm.

Riber
Riber

Riber is a hamlet in the civil parish of Matlock Town, in the Derbyshire Dales district, in the county of Derbyshire, England. It is situated high on a hill overlooking the town and also Matlock Bath, near to the residential Starkholmes area. Riber is famous for its castle, the dilapidated shell of a Victorian folly built in a semi-classic, semi-Gothic style by the wealthy local industrialist John Smedley, which is currently in the process of being converted into flats with 20 new houses to be built in the grounds. From the 1960s to September 2000 the castle grounds hosted a wildlife park which closed due to financial loss and criticisms of the way many of the animals were kept.Nearby is the old, possibly-Elizabethan Riber Hall and Manor House, a Grade II* listed building and farm with cottages. The hall was previously run as a hotel and restaurant; as of 2014 it is a private residence offering self-catering accommodation in converted outbuildings.Riber can be accessed from the A615 at Tansley, a village just outside Matlock via the gentle slope of Alders Lane and Carr Lane. From the Matlock Green area of Matlock via Starkholmes Road or from Cromford on the A6 road via Willersley Lane then taking White Tor Road and Riber Road – the approaches all involve extremely steep roads and winding lanes. Riber also gives its name to the Beast of Riber, also reported in local press as "The Beast of Lumsdale" – possibly a phantom cat which has been sighted on occasion.
