2. It is now the bus shelter
4. Robert Bunting lived at Lower Gotham Farm
5. Probably lead, although it may have been silver. The place name relates to the area of Parwich. Carsington and Wirksworth of Roman times
8. Parwich, Elton, Hartington, Ballidon and Brassington
Come on ! I don’t even live in the village
Yes, Irene all four are correct. I was beginning to think no one was going to answer any.
Both Robert and Batman live in Gotham.
Lead mined the area was stamped Lutudarum, which would have been the name of this area and the name of the main Roman town (perhaps under Carsington Water or under the buildings of Wirksworth). Although silver is often found with lead, it isn’t known if it was ever produced locally.
So what about the other four questions any one.
I think I’ve given the village a chance to answer. Is everyone having a pre-Christmas snooze?
So………two more answers, but I can’t answer the remaining 2 questions!
3. The Saturday closest to 29th June which is St. Peter’s day is the start of Wakes week.
7. I think it was probably the stocks.
Yes to both, 6 out of 8, so that just leaves:
1. Where in Parwich was the tithe barn, it later became Tyburn or Tithe Barn Cottage, and is now a ruin?
6. What was the building that now houses the British Legion previously used for?
