THE HINDE FAMILY

I have recently been contacted by Peter Warsop, a descendant of Samuel Hinde who I researched some time ago https://oldwhittingtonops.com/samuel-hinde/

He has given me further information on the Hinde family and the legacy John Hinde left to the 'poor of Whittington', the update can be read at https://oldwhittingtonops.com/the-hinde-family/

My thanks to Peter Warsop.

Whittington Hall

This picture was posted on the Chesterfield and Area History and Genealogy Facebook page by Rob Marriott.

Whittington Hall was the home of the Dixon family and was on the border of Old and New Whittington. When the Dixon family lived there they were one of the main landowners in Whittington and held the major share of the Manor of Whittington.

MANOR FARM

There was another Manor Farm near the church. (Photos picture the past) there are further pictures of Manor Farm at Historic England

MANOR SYCK FARM Church St

I have never see this picture of the farm before before it certainly looks more attractive than the most recent one. Photos kindly provided by Elizabeth .

CHARLES STEADE

I remember many years ago when I was a very young girl going with my grandfather (Percy Parker) to visit the owner of Broom House on Broomhill Road.  This would have been 1960/61. All I remember was  a big house, with a grand entrance and a very well dressed gentleman! 

I decided to try and trace the life of one of the residents of Broom House, Charles Steade he lived there from approx. 1830 until his death in 1860.
