Our Miscellany 14 is now available

Our 14th edition of Brimington and Tapton Miscellany is now available.

Of 82 pages in length, in this edition our chronicle of local events (for 2021) is a little longer than previously, particularly so we can cover what happened in the area regarding Covid. Our two main articles are:

• The second part of the history of the now demolished St Mary’s Mission Church, Manor Road. This takes the story forward to the closure of the church in the 1950s and its demolition. The first part was published in Miscellany 13.
• The start of a history of Dryhurst House and the people who lived there (part one). Dryhurst is the white painted Georgian building which sits to the left-hand side of the entrance to Chesterfield Royal Hospital. Despite its position it is actually historically in Tapton.

Regrettably we’ve had to increase the price of this edition, due to increased printing costs, to £7 (plus postage and packaging). To obtain a copy please contact us. Alternativley you can pick up a copy at our meetings.
