SHARDLOW is a village, in the parish of Wiln and Shardlow,
in the hundred of Morleston and Litchurch, seven miles S.E.
from Derby; situate upon the banks of the river Trent, over
which is a good stone bridge, forming the communication with
Leicestershire; it was built by the Cavendish family, from
which it takes its name. This place derives considerable
importance from being a station for the trans-shipment of
goods upon the Trent and Mersey canal, on the banks of which
are erected warehouses. At Wiln mills is manufactured a
particular sort of cotton yarn, known by the name of 'Wiln
yarn', for which there is generally a considerable demand:
at this place is a large poor-house. In 1821 the parish
contained 993 inhabitatants, and in 1831, 1,091.
ASTON-UPON-TRENT is a parish and village, in the same
hundred as Shardlow, two miles from that place, and about
six and a half from Derby. The hall of Aston, a substantial
mansion, the seat of Edward Anthony Holden, Esq. is in the
village. At one time this place must have been of much more
importance than at the present period, for we find that in
1256, the privilege of holding a market and fair was granted
to it; both, however, have long been discontinued. The
church is dedicated to All Saints, and the living is a
rectory, in the patronage of the Holden family. The parish
(which has no dependent township), contained, in 1831, 620
inhabitants.
WESTON-UPON-TRENT is a small parish, in the same hundred as
Shardlow, the village being about two miles south from
Aston, and four from Shardlow. The Trent & Mersey canal
passes through the parish - which is in the honour of
Tutbury. One mile hence is Donington park, one of the seats
of the Marquess of Hastings. The church is dedicated to St.
Mary: the living is a rectory, in the patronage of Sir
Robert Wilmot, Bart. The parish contained at the last census
(1831), 387 inhabitants, being an increase only of seven
persons since the returns made thirty years before.
