ALLESTREY is a small parish, in the hundred of Morleston and
Litchurch, about two miles N. from Derby. The parish forms
part of the Duchy of Lancaster, and is within the
jurisdiction of a court of pleas, for the recovery of debts
under 40s., held at Tutbury every third Tuesday. The places
of worship are the parish church and a chapel for Wesleyan
methodists: the former, which is dedicated to St. Andrew, is
an edifice of some antiquity, with a square tower; and
several monuments of the Mundy family embellish the interior
of the church. The living is a perpetual curacy in the
patronage of J. Mundy, esq. The parish contained in 1821,
361 inhabitants, and, in 1831, 501.
QUARNDON is a village in the parish of its name, in the same
hundred as Allestry, about three miles and a half N.N.W.
from Derby; deriving some celebrity from its chalybeate
waters, which are considered highly beneficial in cases of
debility, and from the salubrity of its situation.
Upwards of a century ago it was much resorted to, and is
still visited in the summer by numerous respectable persons.
The spring rises in the park of Kedleston hall, the seat of
Lord Scarsdale. A small church, and a respectable boarding
academy for young gentlemen, are in the village. The living
of Quarndon is a perpetual curacy, in the gift of Lord
Scarsdale and incumbency of the Rev. William Barton. Sir
John Curzon, in 1725, bequeathed an annuity of £20.
for the support of a free school, for a limited number of
children of poor parents residing in Quarndon, Kedleston and
Weston.
The parish (which has no dependent township) contained, by
the returns for 1821, 438 inhabitants, and by those for
1831, 487.
