ETWALL is a pleasant village, in the township of Etwall and
Bearward-Cote, in the parish of Etwall, and hundred of
Appletree, 6 miles W.S.W. from Derby, situate on the road
leading from that town to Uttoxeter, in Staffordshire. This
village is the residence of several genteel families, but
is destitute of manufactures, and its local trade is very
unimportant.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Helen, is a small
stone edifice of considerable antiquity. The living is a
vicarage, in the patronage of the Rev. Mr. Cockburne; here
is an alms-house, originally endowed in 1566, by Sir John
Port, Knight, who also founded and endowed a grammar school
at Repton. In the nineteenth year of James I. a charter was
granted which incorporated this establishment, and appointed
special governors: the income of the estate, some years ago,
amounted to £2.700, when there were fifteen persons in
the almshouse.
The parish of Etwall, (including the hamlet of Burnaston),
contained, at the last census, 605 inhabitants, of which
number 471, were returned for the township of Etwall and
Bearward-Cote.
HILTON is a small village and township, in the parish of
Marston-upon-Dove, in the same hundred as Etwall, about 2
miles W. from that village. A school-house was erected here
about 1655, by Arthur and Thomas. Harrison, and in 1781 the
commissioners of enclosures allotted land for the support of
a schoolmaster, for teaching the poor children of the
parish. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in agriculture:
by the returns for 1831, the number in the parish amounted
to 985, of which 651 were returned for the township.
