Visitor Comments
Posted in Church, Environment, People on Monday May 4, 2015| Leave a Comment »
A holiday cottage owner passed these visitor comments on to us:
Were it not for life’s constraints, we would move to Parwich like a shot. It is an idyllic village, lovely to look at, with friendly residents and abundant tranquillity. …… My favorite thing is opening the bathroom window wide to see ewes and lambs grazing right outside in the meadow. …………… We were made so welcome by the congregation of St. Peter’s Church, and we feel a part of the life in Parwich already (though at quite a distance). – visitors from Syracuse, NY.
Sssshhh Don’t let everyone know.
St. George’s Day Parade
Posted in Church, Events, Music, Oddfellows on Sunday April 26, 2015| Leave a Comment »
With beautiful weather, all ran very smoothly. Starting with breakfast at the Legion the Parade, led by Doveholes Brass Band and made up of Parwich and other Odd Fellows, Wirksworth Army Cadets, the Brownies and local people made its way first to Parwich Hall. Here Charlie Fern outlined the history od St. George from early legends via his becoming Patron Saint of England in 1350 and via the Battle of Agincourt and much more upto his role with the Armed Forces and the Boy Scouts.
The St. George’s Day Service was taken by the Rev Andy Larkin, with Colin Sims talking on the 100th Anniversary of ANZAC Day (the Gallipoli Landings), Rachel Robinson Reading the lesson and the Vicar preaching on the text of ‘The Good Shepherd’.
The Parade moved on round the village with some much appreciated hospitality stops, before finishing again at the Legion for the barbecue.
Photos by Peter T. More photos and a video clip to be posted in the next day or so.

The funeral for Brian Foden will take place at 1.30 pm on Thursday 16 October at St Peter’s Church, followed by a burial in the churchyard. There will then be refreshments in the Memorial Hall. Jon and Sam have requested family flowers only . Any donations will go to the Derbyshire Air Ambulance which came to Brian’s aid a few years ago and which he recognised as a vital resource for the village.
Our sympathies are with Jon and Sam and other members of Brian’s family. Brian made a huge contribution to the village over the years and he will be very much missed by all.

Praise for Alsop Hospitality
Posted in Alsop, Church on Thursday August 7, 2014| 2 Comments »
As an Alsop myself, I made a backpacking trip in 2008 across Europe, and had to stop at Alsop en le Dale. I was peaking over the fence of the hall when a woman asked if she could help me. Understandably looking suspicious, I explained my situation. She showed me the church because I had previously not pushed hard enough on the door, and presumed it locked. The woman lived in the farmhouse right next to the church and offered to let me come to her home for tea. She made my trip to Alsop en le Dale spectacular. I wonder if there’s a way to send a thank you note to the kind woman that I met that day, as well as make a small contribution to the church.
Thank you,
Michael Alsop

Parwich Commemorates ‘Lights Out’
Posted in British Legion, Church, Events, History on Wednesday August 6, 2014| 1 Comment »
Parwich commemorated the centenary of the start of World War I, perhaps the darkest four years of the twentieth century, with an exhibition, a talk and a moving service at the War Memorial.
Some 80 Parwich men served in the Arm Forces during WWI, the Exhibition included details and photographs of some of those that the History Society and Parwich Legion have managed to identify from local knowledge and newspapers of the time. More need to identified, so if you know of anyone who served, have any stories or have photographs do get in touch.
