💐 Flower Festival 💐
Posted in Arts, Church, Events, Flora on Sunday August 4, 2024| Leave a Comment »
St Peter’s Church was decorated with flowers for the Flower Festival which was held on Sunday 21st July.
The morning began with a Songs Of Praise service followed by tea and cakes being served throughout the day. Lots of visitors came into the church and admired the flowers and arrangements which had all come from local gardens.
Evie’s Art Group exhibited some of their work and Parwich Primary School had their display of artwork and flowers in the Lady Chapel. All of which looked beautiful and received some lovely comments.
The church looked and smelled incredible, and the flowers remained in place for the week following, for visitors to admire.
A very big ‘thank you’ goes to everyone who helped to make the event happen, for all their time, hard work, efforts, donations and support. Also to all those who gave so generously, it really is appreciated.
Thank you also to John Lord for the attached photographs of the festival.
We shall be having a meeting in the church on Tuesday 13 August at 7.30pm to chat about further events and the possibility of having another Flower Festival next year.
Everyone is welcome to attend, whether you were involved this year or may like to be in the future.
For more information please call Delia, 390758 or email: dee.pegg@btinternet.com

History Society – Cromford Mill tour
Posted in Events, Societies on Tuesday March 19, 2024| Leave a Comment »
Cromford Mill, the world’s first successful water powered cotton spinning mill, was built in 1771 by Sir Richard Arkwright. Driven by the need for power he searched for a site to build a water powered mill and settled upon Cromford, using the Bonsall Brook and the Cromford Sough.
From then until around 1790, he continued to develop the mills, warehouses and workshops, which now form the Cromford Mills site. In the period between 1770s and the 1790s hundreds of Arkwright style mills were built around the country, using his machines and production methods. Arkwright had shares in many of them. His invention of the waterframe to spin cotton transformed the manufacture of cotton into England’s major industry and created a system of factory production that spread throughout the world. The cotton industry was a cornerstone of the industrial revolution.
The site grew rapidly, and Arkwright needed to attract more workers to the area; he expanded Cromford Village with the building of Derbyshire’s first row of planned industrial housing on North Street in 1776. Arkwright later built the marketplace, the Greyhound Hotel, and further housing for his growing workforce to create the village you see today.
Arkwright himself started from humble beginnings as an apprentice barber and wigmaker and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in the country. Keen to display his standing, he started to build Willersley Castle and St Mary’s Church, but sadly died before both were finished.
Our tour will include the Mill site with information about the production of cotton, and the village of Cromford. We will also see the newly finished Cromford Waterpower project which has reinstated a large 6m waterwheel and installed a 15kW hydro-turbine to power the mill buildings.
