MAPPERLEY- 1895

I thought this extract from Bulmer's History, Topography and Directory could be of interest - Phil Wyles

Mapperley, from Bulmer's History, Topography and Directory of Derbyshire, 1895.

Mapperley is a small parish and township, containing 981 acres, in the hundred of Appletree, electoral division of Sandiacre, petty sessional division of Smalley, union and county court district of Belper, and Deanery of Ilkeston. It is under the jurisdiction of a parish council of six members, and it elects one guardian and rural district councillor. The total extent of land under assessment is 940 acres, rateable value £3,234, and the population, in 1891, was 531. A. M. Mundy, Esq., is lord of the manor; and that gentleman, F. A. Newdigate, Esq., and W. D. N. Drury-Lowe, Esq., are the principal landowners.
         
In the reign of Edward the Confessor, the manor of Maperlie belonged to one Staplevine, but William the Norman ousted the English owner and took possession of his lands. At the time of the Domesday Survey (circa 1086). William Peverel held the manor for the King, and in 1235 it was in like manner held by Richard Sandiacre by the service of providing a dog kennel. In 1266 a weekly market on Mondays, and a fair at the festival of the Holy Trinity, were granted to Simon de Arden, in which he was succeeded by Thomas de Luche. Subsequently the manor passed by marriage to the Willoughbys; and it after­wards belonged to the Gilberts of Locko. The Strelleys had a mansion and an estate here; and as early as the middle of the 13th century, episcopal sanction was given to Hugh de Strelley and Matilda, his wife, to establish a chapel within the grounds of their mansion at Mapperley. The permission to attend mass here was confined exclusively to the family and household of Hugh and Matilda, and neither could any marriage service be performed therein. A few traces of this old chapel may be seen built into the wall of a house near the church.
         
The village, which is small and chiefly inhabited by colliers, is situated two miles N.W. from Ilkeston, and 7 ½  North East. from Derby. A chapel-of-ease, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was erected here in 1851, at a cost of £760. It is a plain building in the Early English style, consisting of chancel, nave, porch, and turret containing five bells. In 1870, Mapperley was separated from Kirk Hallam and formed into an ecclesiastical parish. There are 200 sittings and all are free. The living is a vicarage worth £130, with residence, in the gift of E. A. Newdigate, Esq., and held by the Rev. John Mello, M.A. In connection with the church is a good day school, attended by about 180 children. The Wesleyan Methodists have a chapel in the village, built, in 1874, to accommodate 150.

Park Hall is a small hamlet a little North West of the village. Here was the mansion of the Strelleys, but not a vestiage of the building now remains.

Mapperley is one of the parishes entitled to benefit in the Free School of West Hallam, founded by the Rev. John Scargill.
