3.2a The Manor of Baslow by Paul Patterson
If you are interested in serious research into the history of Baslow start here. This is the well documented result of research into mediaeval Baslow and up to the nineteenth century. It includes much that is not recorded elswhere, and has an extensive bibliography.
I have not been able to contact Mr Patterson for his permission to include this article, please contact me if you can help (dds@w3z.co.uk)
3.2b Mr C R Allcock
Mr Allcock was headmaster of St Anne;s School Baslow in the 1920s. He organised a group of volunteers to collect information about the history of the village from as many sources as possible. The findings were collected up and typed by Mr Allsop, helped by “Bill” Derbyshire who was the local blacksmith. Only a few copies ever existed.
The book is a collection of extracts which give a lot of information about the village.
3.2ba The Introduction says a litte more about the book and Mr Allsop
3.2bb The Contents There are many different topics. The Contents list covers the
more significant items.
3.2bc The Illustrations A list of his illustrtions as they appear in the book. The relevant text
is usually nearby.
3.2bd The Index Like the Contents, not everything included

3.2be Part 2 p 47a to 74 St Anne’s Church
3.2be Part 3 p 75 to 109 Other, including Baslow Charities and The 1824 Enclosure Award
I have kept his original page numbering. The Contents file uses this numbering, but also includes the page of the corresponding PDF file.
