The Fabrick Of Derbyshire. Jan 2019
Ashover Rock, (a local nature reserve) also known as The Fabrick (as seen on my photo) which said to come from stone quarried here, some used in the construction of Ashover Church. Land left in trust for church purposes was often called fabrick land because it provided material or revenue ‘ad fabricam reparandam’.
From here, on a good day, you can see the distant Crooked Spire of Chesterfield, Bolsover Castle, Hardwick Hall, some suburbs of the South Yorkshire city of Sheffield, the surrounding counties of Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire.
The Fabrick is often misspelled.
Fabric, Faebric, Faybrick are just a few examples. Usually because of their inability to spell words, presume it's material or simply that their spell checker is not aware of the actual spelling of this local nature reserve and the person never bothered to proof read the information.
I seen somewhere that it was named, incorrectly, "Fabrick Rock".
Locals to the area pronounce Ashover as Asher, so 'Asher Rock' gets banded about.
