Codnor History
replied on: 1/16/2008 6:47:34 PM R&H 24 Dec 1897 Last night a parish meeting was held in the Crosshill Scools for the pupose of considering the proposed detatchment of the Derbyshire parishes of Codnor-cum-Loscoe, Codnor Park and Shipley from the Basford Rural District Council and their administration by a Derbyshire authority. Mr W. Hardy presided and explained that two informal meetings of principal ratepayers had been held, with a view to getting their opinion on the matter to lay before that meeting.The Butterley Company and the Midland Railway Company were represented.Several motions on the subject were made.One was to the effect that Codnor should remain as it was, with Basford, if possible to do so,and if not, some were in favour of establishing an Urban Council in this district. In reply to a question, the Chairman said they would remain at Basford for Poor Law purposes. This only affected sanitary matters.There were various ways in which Codnor could be dealt with in regard to this matter. They could be attatched to Ripley or Heanor, or the three parishes could be formed into a Rural District Council.The next, they could be made into an Urban District, ot they could be attatched to Belper.Mr Corfield said he believed the Butterley Company would go strongly for Codnor remaining with Basford, as they now were.After some further discussion, Mr White moved that the parish of Codnor be in favour of establishing Urban powers, and this, having been recorded by Mr H Grainger,was submitted to the meeting and agreed unanimously, Mr Corfield and others having previously left the meeting. |

replied on: 2/12/2008 8:50:38 PM Fron todays newspaper - Codnor has a connection to Lady Jane Grey ==== BEHEADED JANE GREY HAD DERBYSHIRE BLOOD Reluctant monarch Lady Jane Grey was just 15 when she was ascended the throne. She was beheaded less than a year later - exactly 454 years ago today. Maxwell Craven traces her Derbyshire links. Derbyshire can legitimately lay claim to the unfortunate Queen Jane, who was placed on the throne of England by a conniving father-in-law as the white hope of the Protestant succession on July 10, 1553, following the death of Edward VI. Lady Jane Grey, as she is more usually known, was a member of an old and distinguished Anglo-Norman family. Henry de Grey, of Thurrock, had inherited the extensive manor of Codnor, which included Heanor and Langley (Mill), with its castle guarding the Erewash valley by 1201. The family remained there until the 6th Lord Grey of Codnor died without a legitimate heir in 1496. ==== Sue |

replied on: 2/13/2008 8:19:15 AM Hi Sue, I was reading “The Derbyshire Magazine” Feb 2008 and found this about Bess of Hardwick “At the age of 12 Bess left home to live in the household of her cousins, the Zouch family, at Codnor Castle. There she met and married her first husband Robert Barlow, heir to a neighbouring estate. He was aged just 13, she only 14, and poor Robert was not in good health. The two young people never consummated their marriage and on Christmas Eve 1544, Robert died, making Bess a widow for the first time.” Jenny |
