Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes on the Churches of Derbyshire, Vol. 4 This fourth volume, which concludes the work, contains an account of all the old Churches and Chapels within the Hundred of Morleston and Litchurch, and also a good deal of supplementary matter relative to the Churches treated of in the previous volumes, especially in the first and second. Yielding to the advice of several, whose judgment was of much value, I have supplied lists of the Clergy and Patrons of the different Benefices in East and North Derbyshire, which had previously been omitted. The local value of these lists has been already mentioned in the introduction to the third volume; but the student of national history may also find them worthy of attention, as showing the different epochs, when, from different reasons, considerable changes were effected in the ranks of the clergy. To one of these epochs it is worth while to very briefly draw attention - the year 1348-9, when the whole of Europe was devastated by that terrible mortality, the Black Death. The pestilence first appeared in the seaports of Dorsetshire on August 1st, 1348, and travelled, slowly but surely, westward and northward. It lay comparatively dormant during the winter, but by May, 1349, it had reached Derbyshire, and for the next four months raged with fury throughout the kingdom. Hecker calculates the loss to Europe at large as twenty-five millions. Nowhere was the plague more fatal than in England; a single burial-ground, consecrated for the purpose, now the site of the Charter-house, received 50,000 corpses, arranged in layers, in large pits.
