Hi there!
In the past, the kind folk of Alsop have done tea and cakes at the church on bank holidays…does anyone know if this will happen over the Easter period?
Mike
The marmalade is made and all the ingredients ready for baking. Monday will see us serving steaming mugs of freshly brewed tea and filtered coffee, with plates of luscious cakes for you to choose. We look forward to seeing you all.
Our family set off from Parwich to Alsop-en-le-Dale to sample home-made produce and refreshments on Easter Monday morning. We arrived at the church just around ‘closing time’ at 4pm. Despite our lateness, we were made very welcome. The tea warmed us up as we watched the spectacle of snow and sunshine simultaneously! Mr Bunting was particularly interesting to speak to as told us tales of walking back from Biggin School many moons ago in a snowstorm. Thank you to all who made our afternoon so enjoyable. We will think of you as we tuck into our marmalade for a while yet I think!
I’m hoping that your website will be checked soon, because I have a query about Alsop Hall and the family that resided there.
I recently bout two books, both with inscriptions on the inside. The first (called ‘Lost Gip’ by Hesba Stretton) has the following inside: ‘To John, from Mrs Heald, Alsop Hall, Derbyshire’.
Could you tell me anything about both these names? Probably written around the 1900’s (due to the age of the book).
The second book I believe to be from the same place, as they were purchased from the same stall, are the same age and by the same publisher. The second is inscribed: ‘Awarded to Jane Lamb for lessons and attendance in the year 1900’. Again (although the books may in fact not be linked), could anyone tell me anything of this Jane Lamb?
I realise family histories are hard to track, but I’m intrigued to know something of these three people: John, Mrs Heald and Jane Lamb.
I look forward to hearing from you! Please email if this is easier
A great many years ago my cousins, Donald and Peggy Fearn had to walk from Parwich to Alsop en le Dale to catch the train to Ashbourne in order to get to school.
Then a school bus was laid on. Icaught this bus at Tissington Lane End.
While I was waiting for the bus I would often see lorries loaded with German prisoners of war going along the road. they were still in this country although it was 1945 and the war had ended.In th winter the small school bus was covered in snow and the driver had to keep getting out to wipe the windscreen.
Does anyone else remember going on this bus or is it too long ago?
My family lived at Alsop hall c.1800-1876. Terry Mart.

Hello. I have known of Alsop Hall and Alsop en la Dale since I was a girl, and have wanted to visit there ever since. My maiden name was Alsup, a variation I’m told. Anyway, I often look for history and pictures of this lovely place, and I just wanted to say these pictures are absolutely gorgeous! Maybe someday I can see it all in person.
Hi Crystal, my grandmother’s maiden name was Alsup as well. They are from the Texas/Mississippi region. If your family is from there too please feel free to email me for genealogy. I’ve dated back to Alsop En Le Dale.

I enjoyed a visit to the church grounds and felt the atmosphere of the place where my surname, and possibly early ancestors originated.
There are a number of Allsop families in Australia and originate from John and Mary Allsop who migrated to Australia in 1842.
Thank you for helping me find my heritage Christine Alsop from Christchurch New Zealand
Hello fellow Alsops ! My family and yours are distant relatives. I live in St. Louis in the U.S. Great to see the pics of our homeland !
My name is Ian Allsop a great grandson of John Allsop an early English settler in Australia in 1840
We live in Melbourne. I visited Alsop en le Dale
and enjoyed a mystical wander along the road attempting to conceptualise our ancestry.
Hello to all the Alsop family from far and near I am the great grand daughter of Henry and Caroline Alsop from Devonshire they arrived in Christchurch New Zealand in the mid 1800 Henry father was Captain Jack Alsop the ferryman who took migrants from England to America.
Hi Ian
My ancestor is also John Alsop and Mary Evans who came to Adelaide as a manager of one of the mines in the area, then to Melbourne. My great great grandfather was David George Evans Alsop.
My great grandparents were John and Mary Allsop who lived in Woori Yallock, Victoria Australia. I do not know Mary’s maiden name. Maybe we are more closely related than the different spelling suggests.
