This is one of the oddest structures I’ve ever photographed (and probably among the least attractive) but is part of Ashbourne’s Royal Shrovetide football match. This is also distinctly odd, originally a medieval ‘football’ game although there’s not much kicking of the ball, and ‘hugging’ is the preferred method of passing it. It’s played over two days, Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, throughout the town with no limit on the number of players, and not surprisingly local shops are usually boarded up. The game is started by throwing the ball from this platform, and starting at 2.00pm it lasts until 10.00pm unless a goal is scored. If that’s before 6.00pm, a new ball is served. When a goal is scored, the scorer is carried by his colleagues into the courtyard of the Green Man Royal Hotel and presumably they celebrate. There are very few rules and the main ones are that committing murder or manslaughter is prohibited, unnecessary violence is frowned upon, and the ball may not be carried in a motorised vehicle or hidden in a bag, coat or rucksack. I thought Derbyshire well dressing was unusual, but the Royal Shrovetide match is in a league of its own. I’m not sure when or why it became royal, but King Charles seems to approve.

Still standing is the Free Grammar School of Elizabeth, Queen of England, founded in 1587. It was established under a Royal Charter granted by Queen Elizabeth I following a petition by Sir Thomas Cokayne in 1583 for a free school in Ashbourne, as the lack of education meant people were ‘given over to wickedness and vices’. When it opened (not until 1603) to accept boys aged six to nine, it had one central schoolroom, dormitories above and houses either side for the masters. The original building is now a private residence, with the school moving to its current site in 1909 and becoming a comprehensive school. The County Council would have been happy to demolish the original school buildings, but they were saved by the Derbyshire Archaeological Society and used as a dormitory for male boarders. As the grammar school now took girls as well, they were boarded with the headmaster at the Mansion which is opposite. This part of the school is obviously a little more recent.

The arms, and those of Marrowe, Brome, Riche, and Arundell (all Marrowe connections), were also painted onto 10 shields supported by angels around the edges of the tomb chest.

Humphrey was the son & heir of John Bradbourne 1523 of Bradbourne and Lea by Isabella daughter and coheir of Richard Cotton of Ridware.

On his mother's side he was the great grandson of Nicholas Longford & Joan Warren (whose arms are in the stained glass here www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/XEE1W3
A minor on the death of his father, Bradbourne succeeded to an inheritance consisting of the manor of Bradbourne and other property in the west of Derbyshire, as well as the manor of Hough and a small amount of other land in Staffordshire, the whole being valued at £99 a year. It is not known who purchased his wardship or when he had livery of these lands. His appointment in 1538 to the Derbyshire commission of the peace marks the beginning of his career in shire administration, and six years later he was called upon to supply 20 men for the Earl of Hertford’s expedition against Scotland. He himself served as a captain and was knighted by Hertford, being the only member of his family so honoured. In 1557 he was one of the Derbyshire gentlemen who certified to the 5th Earl of Shrewsbury the number of men each could supply for service on the borders, his own quota being 12 billmen and three bowmen.

Although he remained a justice of the peace for over 40 years, for most of this time Bradbourne was not of the quorum, probably because of his religion. In the report to the Privy Council on the justices of Derbyshire compiled in 1564, he was named as one of the two ‘adversaries to religion’ in the shire. His disaffection is more likely to have been of a Catholic than of a Puritan kind, since Henry Vernon, the other justice so described, was a Catholic whereas Richard Blackwell, whom the signatories recommended for dismissal, was seemingly a Puritan and was defended by the bishop. Bradbourne was an executor of Vernon’s will of 1568. Although his religion had not prevented him from serving two terms as sheriff, it was only in his later years that he was entrusted with such special commissions as the investigation of 1578 into local animosity towards (Sir) John Zouche II.4
It was with Sir Thomas Cokayne that Bradbourne had sat in his first Parliament, that of March 1553 called under the aegis of the Duke of Northumberland: a man of his conservative views can hardly have felt at home in such an assembly. He would have found more congenial his next and last Parliament, the fourth of Mary’s reign, although the manoeuvres of the opposition would probably have offended him and it is not surprising that his name is absent from the list of them. His fellow-knight in that Parliament, Vincent Mundy, was to be one of those commissioned in 1556 and 1557 to investigate a dispute, which had already reached the Star Chamber, between Bradbourne and his cousin Aden Beresford over a brook which ran through their adjacent properties. Bradbourne was involved in a number of other suits in both Chancery and Star Chamber, including one in the reign of Henry VIII when he was charged with enclosing common land. In February 1557 he appeared before the barons of the Exchequer to meet an accusation of maintaining retainers in blue livery who accompanied him to the local sessions of the peace and the assizes. The case was brought by Thomas Gravenor, a husbandman of Bentley: Bradbourne asked for trial by jury but no further process is recorded.5
Humphrey's death gave suspicion of foul play. Three days after his death the Privy Council ordered an investigation of a ‘dangerous practice taken in hand by certain lewd persons, whereby is intended the destruction of the person of Sir Humphrey Bradbourne and conveying away of his goods’. A charge of murder was made against a yeoman of Lea, Richard Haughton, for allegedly having smeared Bradbourne’s right leg with an ointment containing poison which, after a lapse of 3 years proved fatal. - the result of this charge is not known.

At his death his heir John, his eldest son by his 2nd wife, was aged 16. The seeds of serious dissension between his widow Isabel and her stepdaughter (and sister-in-law) Alice had been sown by Sir John’s entail of the Harthill inheritance, which had been promised to Alice on her marriage to Ralph Shirley. Isabel also became engaged in disputes with Joan Dabridgecourt, the widow of her stepson the younger Sir John Cockayne; and it was doubtless with a view to safeguarding her interests in the lawcourts that she took as her second husband Thomas Bate, a lawyer and councillor to the duke of Buckingham. She was still living in the 1460s.
The first Cokayne to be knighted. Despite his wealth and the family’s consequent rise in status the Cokaynes’ dynastic and political fortunes fell following his death, which included the childless deaths of heirs, long-lived dowagers, lengthy minorities, and the accession of the Yorkist dynasty

At his death his heir John, his eldest son by his 2nd wife, was aged 16. The seeds of serious dissension between his widow Isabel and her stepdaughter (and sister-in-law) Alice had been sown by Sir John’s entail of the Harthill inheritance, which had been promised to Alice on her marriage to Ralph Shirley. Isabel also became engaged in disputes with Joan Dabridgecourt, the widow of her stepson the younger Sir John Cockayne; and it was doubtless with a view to safeguarding her interests in the lawcourts that she took as her second husband Thomas Bate, a lawyer and councillor to the duke of Buckingham. She was still living in the 1460s.

Tunnel Café
Church Street
The café takes it's name from the now disused railway tunnel that once carried the London & North Western railway line beneath the café and under the town.
The line connected Ashbourne with Buxton.
The tunnel opened in 1899 and the line became a popular service both for passengers and freight.
The passenger service ran until 1954, and the freight service ran until 1963.
After the railway was abandoned, the Peak District National Park, in collaboration with Derbyshire County Council, procured the whole railway line and converted it into the highly popular Tissington Trail.
The tunnel is now the beginning, or end, of the 13 mile long Tissington Trail which opened in 1971.

With joy and gladness shall they be brought and shall enter into God's palace"
Monica & Dorothea were the only children of Peveril Turnbull 1851–1926 & his wife Phyllis Anne Kay 1849–1946 of Sandybrook Hall. They died of multiple burns aged 22 & 20 in June & April after a fire in February
This is described in George Shaw’s book ‘People of the Millennium in Ashbourne, from Cockayne to the Queen’ and a personal letter.
‘One of the greatest tragedies to occur in Ashbourne happened on the 9th February 1901 at Sandybrook Hall, the home of the Turnbull family. Peveril Turnbull had just bought a new lamp for the dinner table, and had been warned that it should not be carried whilst lit. For some reason he had not taken the advice and whilst walking out of the dining room the lamp flared and he dropped it. The lamp fell at the feet of his younger daughter Dorothea and her dress burst into flames. Her sister Monica ran to her aid but her dress also caught fire. Both girl’s injuries proved fatal. Monica died 3 weeks later on 4th March, while Dorothea lived for 2 months longer & despite attempted skin grafts, she also died on the 27th April. Their parents later became involved in the care of children in need and in Windmill Lane they built an orphanage St Monica's Home " (St Monica was the patron saint of patience)
Their deaths were reported in the local papers:
SISTER'S FATAL BRAVERY
Miss Monica Turnbull, eldest daughter of Mr. Peveril Turnbull, J.P., of Sandibrook Hall, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, died on Monday morning under exceedingly painful circumstances. A few days ago a paraffin lamp was upset in the drawing room, and her sister Dorothea was set on fire. Miss Monica ran to her aid, but before the flames were extinguished both ladies were terribly burnt. The heroic action of the elder sister cost her her life.
Cornish & Devon Post - 9 March 1901
PATHETIC DEATH OF TWO SISTERS
An inquest was held at Sandybrook Hall, Ashbourne, on Monday, on the body of Miss Dorothea Turnbull, younger daughter of Mr. Peveril Turnbull, J.P., who died from the effects of burns caused by the upsetting of a lamp on February 9th. Miss Monica Turnbull, the elder sister, lost her life in attempting to extinguish the flames, but Miss Dorothea lingered on and died from exhaustion. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.

The window contains images of the Virgin Martyr Saints with portraits of the sisters as St Barbara and St Dorothea on either side of St Cecilia who is seen falling asleep to the sounds of celestial music, a symbol of death. Small winged angel children play the organ and sing under a sorrowing angel. The celestial city is visible in one panel, viewed through a thicket of thorns.

At the southern end of the Tissington Trail and a tunnel which seems to have last seen a train in 1963.
Brass inscription in Lombardic script with a mixture of capital and lower case letters "Anno ... incarnacione ... mccXli Viii KL Maii dedicata est hececcia et hoc ALTARa consEcAtum in honore St Oswald, regis and martiris ad venerablili patre domini Hugone de patishul Coventrensi episopo"
(In the year of the incarnation 1241 eight days before the Kalends May (24th April ) this church was dedicated and the altar consecrated in honour of St Oswald, king and martre, by the venerable father in God Hugh de Pateshull, bishop of Coventry )
Now in the Lady Chapel, in mid 17c it was recorded at Ashbourne Hall, the home of the Cockayne family until It was brought back here in the early 1770s.
The dating system used in the brass is the Roman system referring to Ides, Kalends and Nones. It is confusing in that the dating refers backwards in time.
It records the consecration of the church in that year and as well as being unusual to have such an early record of a church's consecration, it is believed to be the earliest identified English church brass.
The consecration followed a ruling by Cardinal Otto, the Pope's representative at the Legatine Council in St Paul's cathedral in 1237. He ordered that, because "we have found many churches and some cathedrals not consecrated with holy oil, though built of old, we therefore being desirous to obviate so great a neglect, do ordain and charge that all cathedral and parochial churches which are already built and their walls perfected, be consecrated by the diocesan bishops to whom they belong" This should be done within 2 years or the services in the church would be invalid. Cardinal Otto also strictly forbade "abbots and rectors to pull down ancient consecrated churches, without the consent and licence of the bishop of the diocese, under pretence of raising a more ample and fair fabric"
Work on the present church began in the early 11c and the chancel was complete by the time of the dedication. The nave was added in mid 13c and was extended to the south along with a tower in the late 13c. A 212 feet tall spire was added in the early 14c

Humphrey was the son & heir of John Bradbourne 1523 of Bradbourne and Lea by Isabella daughter and coheir of Richard Cotton of Ridware.
On his paternal side he was the great grandson of Sir John Bradbourne 1488 and Anne Vernon 1499 whose monument is nearby www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/L9fq7m
On his mother's side he was the great grandson of Nicholas Longford & Joan Warren (whose arms are in the stained glass here www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/XEE1W3
A minor on the death of his father, Bradbourne succeeded to an inheritance consisting of the manor of Bradbourne and other property in the west of Derbyshire, as well as the manor of Hough and a small amount of other land in Staffordshire, the whole being valued at £99 a year. It is not known who purchased his wardship or when he had livery of these lands. His appointment in 1538 to the Derbyshire commission of the peace marks the beginning of his career in shire administration, and six years later he was called upon to supply 20 men for the Earl of Hertford’s expedition against Scotland. He himself served as a captain and was knighted by Hertford, being the only member of his family so honoured. In 1557 he was one of the Derbyshire gentlemen who certified to the 5th Earl of Shrewsbury the number of men each could supply for service on the borders, his own quota being 12 billmen and three bowmen.

Although he remained a justice of the peace for over 40 years, for most of this time Bradbourne was not of the quorum, probably because of his religion. In the report to the Privy Council on the justices of Derbyshire compiled in 1564, he was named as one of the two ‘adversaries to religion’ in the shire. His disaffection is more likely to have been of a Catholic than of a Puritan kind, since Henry Vernon, the other justice so described, was a Catholic whereas Richard Blackwell, whom the signatories recommended for dismissal, was seemingly a Puritan and was defended by the bishop. Bradbourne was an executor of Vernon’s will of 1568. Although his religion had not prevented him from serving two terms as sheriff, it was only in his later years that he was entrusted with such special commissions as the investigation of 1578 into local animosity towards (Sir) John Zouche II.4
It was with Sir Thomas Cokayne that Bradbourne had sat in his first Parliament, that of March 1553 called under the aegis of the Duke of Northumberland: a man of his conservative views can hardly have felt at home in such an assembly. He would have found more congenial his next and last Parliament, the fourth of Mary’s reign, although the manoeuvres of the opposition would probably have offended him and it is not surprising that his name is absent from the list of them. His fellow-knight in that Parliament, Vincent Mundy, was to be one of those commissioned in 1556 and 1557 to investigate a dispute, which had already reached the Star Chamber, between Bradbourne and his cousin Aden Beresford over a brook which ran through their adjacent properties. Bradbourne was involved in a number of other suits in both Chancery and Star Chamber, including one in the reign of Henry VIII when he was charged with enclosing common land. In February 1557 he appeared before the barons of the Exchequer to meet an accusation of maintaining retainers in blue livery who accompanied him to the local sessions of the peace and the assizes. The case was brought by Thomas Gravenor, a husbandman of Bentley: Bradbourne asked for trial by jury but no further process is recorded.5
Humphrey's death gave suspicion of foul play. Three days after his death the Privy Council ordered an investigation of a ‘dangerous practice taken in hand by certain lewd persons, whereby is intended the destruction of the person of Sir Humphrey Bradbourne and conveying away of his goods’. A charge of murder was made against a yeoman of Lea, Richard Haughton, for allegedly having smeared Bradbourne’s right leg with an ointment containing poison which, after a lapse of 3 years proved fatal. - the result of this charge is not known.
By his will of 8 Oct. 1580 Humphrey had appointed as sole executrix his wife Elizabeth and as overseer Sir John Manners of Bakewell www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/E1w2d2
Humphrey asked for a tomb of alabaster with ‘pictures of myself, my wife and all my children ... set thereupon’, This was made by Richard and Gabriel Royley of Burton on Trent who were "popular and inexpensive"
