Just found an interesting note in one of the parish magazines (Nov 1890) that demonstrates how people would oftern not refer to the Church by name - I thought it might be of interest to some people interested in the Hide and Roper families :

"To all christian people to whom these presents shall come. Mary Hide Widdow and John Hide, her sonne, both of Heanor, in the countye of Darbie, send greetings in our Lord God everlasting. Know yee that we the sd Mary and John for divers, good causes and considerations, theryunto moovirig have given and granted, and by this present deed confirmed unto Samuel Roper, of Lincolns Inn, London, Esq. all our right, interest, and title wch wee have or had in one seat in the church of Heanor, in wch seat Henry Hide, husband of the sd Marye, and father of the said John, was wonte to sitt and standeth betwixt the Chancel and the Vicars Pue. To hand and hould the sd seat to the sd Samuell Roper and his heirs for ever, without any lett hindrance or molestation of the sd Mary and John, or any other clavming from, by, or under them. In witness whereof the said Mary Hide and John Hide have sett theyr hands and seales to these presents dated the feast day of St. Luke in the second yeer of the ragne of our soveragne, Lord Charles by the grace of God, king of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, Defender of the fayth yr ano : dm: 1626.
(Signed), Mary Hide, John Hide.
Sealed and delivered, and possession and season given according to the intent of this intent of this deed in the presence of us,

Edward Bludworth,

The mark x Thomas Lord.”

If anyone wants to view the origional I have cross referanced it with the list at Matlock - you would need to ask for item D1632 A/PI 31/1
