Bolsover and Hardwick, Derbyshire
The Derbyshire project was led by colleagues from the University of Nottingham and the Derbyshire VCH Trust, working with volunteers to research two histories. The first focused on the development of Bolsover Castle, the market town at its gates and the model colliery villages in the landscape around it and resulted in the paperback, Bolsover: Castle, Town and Colliery. The second put, for the first time, the nearby Hardwick Hall, a National Trust property, into the context of its ancient estate and rural parish of Ault Hucknall resulting in the publication, Hardwick: A Great House and its Estate.
For both projects Richard Sheppard of Trent and Peak Archaeology was contracted to investigate 19th century buildings and landscapes. For the Bolsover project, he produced a survey of the colliery villages of New Bolsover, Carr Vale, Whaley Thorns and Shuttlewood and Stanfree comparing the layout of the villages and the style and form of the housing stock. For the Hardwick project Trent and Peak Archaeology were again contracted, on this occasion to relate details of expenditure on farm buildings detailed in the accounts of the 6th Duke of Devonshire, held at Chatsworth House, with surviving farm buildings on the Hardwick Estate.
