DESCRIPTION

Barlborough is an ancient parish containing some interesting stone houses and lies about 7 miles north-east of Chesterfield.

The church of St. James dates from Norman times of which four round arches still remain. The church was much altered in the 13'h century and again in the late 19th century. Within the church are memorials to Sir Richard Pipe, once Lord Mayor of London, who died in 1587 and to Margaret and Mary Pole, two maiden sisters who gave the village its almshouses and who died within two months of each other in 1755. There is also a very worn effigy of Lady Joan (Neville) Furnival, which was moved from Worksop Priory on its dissolution. She died in 1396. The registers date from 1648 and are deposited at the County Record Office, Matlock, where they are available on film.

Barlborough Hall, an Elizabethan mansion built in 1583, was the home of Francis Rodes, one of the judges at the trial of Mary Queen of Scots.

The history of coal mining goes back to the 17th century and in the 19th century there were around a dozen mines in Barlborough. The mines in the area are now closed. Farming was and still is a local occupation, but now employs fewer workers, therefore employment is found at nearby Staveley, Clowne and Eckington.
