Extracts from Baslow Court Rolls & Charters (Kerry MSS)Transcribed by John Froggatt from microfilm at Matlock Local Studies Library. IntroductionAbout 1900 the Rev. C. Kerry transcribed & translated the Baslow Court Rolls & Charters held by the Duke of Rutland in Belvoir Castle (the “Kerry Manuscripts”) He published extracts of the rolls in two papers in the Derbyshire Archaeological Journal Vols.22 & 23. The papers were based on his notes, which now belong to the Library and can be seen on microfilm. The DAJ papers cover rolls from 1320 to 1508, but the notes run to 1673. A printed index to Baslow and Kerry's many other interests is also available in the Library. The following list provides an illustrative sample of extracts featuring Froggatt as a place, and surname. The Manuscripts themselves, which obviously contain many more names and places are available for searching on film at Local Studies Libraries in both Derby & at Matlock. [Ed: and Chesterfield as well?]
Froggatt itself is obviously an outlying area of Baslow manor and is only rarely mentioned. There are however extensive lists of names in Kerry's notes with many references to places in Curbar, Bubnell & Baslow. This information was contributed by John Froggatt in October 2006. |
