Cemetery seek (kinda!) : Cromford
The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry
As is the life of a vlogger, I'm quite used to churches being closed these days even when looking ahead of time. Alas, we visit the town of Cromford to learn the history of the area that Richard Arkwright founded.

We venture to the 1888 parish of St Peter & investigate the history behind the demolish then rebuilding of this Victorian church.
Without help from neighbouring town Flawforth & the Philo Mills family, it might not be there today.

Numismatics, Norman England and other Tricky Issues: Thematic display and marginalised collections
Thematic interpretation of artefacts has the potential to bring to light items which are otherwise not often displayed, as well as revealing unexpected aspects of well-known collections. All too often, however, in planning for a thematic display artefacts which are less familiar to curators are not considered, as they do not immediately suggest themselves for the chosen theme. In these times of few subject specialist job roles, thematic display schemes therefore run the risk of compounding the marginalisation of particular object types or time periods.
This paper is drawn from the findings of my recently-submitted PhD thesis. My doctoral research examined the English coinage of William the Conqueror and William Rufus, focussing on collections held in UK museums. The examination ended up revealing something of a ‘double whammy’ of marginalisation, suggesting that both numismatic collections and the Norman period of English history are becoming less visible in the British heritage sector. The paper will discuss this issue, and suggest some new ways to consider unfamiliar collections and bring them to light through thematic displays.
Anja Thompson-Rohde, Bramley House Library / University of Nottingham Museum
Speaker biography
Anja studied Archaeology and Ancient History for her undergraduate research in the 1990s, and then Museums and Heritage Management as a postgraduate. She has just submitted her PhD thesis to the University of Nottingham; her viva examination is likely to be just a couple of days before the SMA conference! In the interim she has held various curatorial and collections management positions in museums, including ten years at Derby Museums Trust, and two years for the Portable Antiquities Scheme as Finds Liaison Officer for Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. She is about to start work as Librarian for Special Collections and Conservation at Bromley House Library in Nottingham, and she also has a casual role as Museum Numismatist and Collections Officer at the University of Nottingham Museum.
Nottingam- Angel Row
The below is from J Holland Walker, An itinerary of Nottingham: Angel Row, (1932):
Angel Row probably derives its name from a public house of the name of The Angel which has now vanished. Its traditions are largely residential and it does not appear to have been a trading district until the 18th century was well advanced. It was at his mansion on Angel Row that Samuel Peak died in 1763. He was a very well-known philanthropist in his day and was treasurer and benefactor of the Bluecoat School. Again in 1799 a certain Mr. Thomas Hall lived at his mansion which still remains as No. 6 Angel Row. It will be noticed that the picture shop in front of this house is only one storey high and behind it are manifold remains of the old mansion which was occupied by this gentleman. The gardens appertaining to this house stretched up towards the castle grounds. They were built over soon after Mr. Hall's death and have formed Bromley Place and other thoroughfares in that neighbourhood.
There is a curious yard which runs up just hereabouts called Hind's Yard. At its further end are some derelict houses which were evidently built in early Tudor days, but about which I have never been able to find any gossip.
Bromley House of course is the great library of this neighbourhood and an excellent example it is of a town house belonging to a great family erected during the 18th century. The early history of the site is exceedingly obscure. There is a certain Red Hall which flits through early references to Nottingham and which appears to have been the Manor House of one of the three ancient manors of Nottingham. It is somewhat muddled up with references to the equally mysterious St. James's Chapel, and I think that the best explanation that one can give of these very fugitive references is that St. James's Chapel was the private chapel attached to this manor and Red Hall, probably the fact that Chapel Bar was erected in the manor which possessed this St. James's Chapel is the real explanation of the meaning of the much-discussed Chapel Bar. It is, I think, pretty generally agreed that Bromley House stands upon the site of this Red Hall.
The Bell Inn, just below Bromley House is an imposing looking building which is first mentioned, as far as I am aware, in 1638, although the present building is much later than that date. It is curious, because in the year 1638 it belonged to a certain Robert Sherwin, presumably one of the Sherwins whose house still remains as we have seen at the upper end of Pilcher Gate. He bequeathed the revenues of a half-part of this inn to be divided amongst the three parishes of Nottingham. This led to all sorts of difficulties and eventually the inn was sold in 1923 for £22,000. It was outside this inn that in 1816 occurred the accident to the Derby coach, whereby Mr. Owen of Derby lost his life. This accident throws a very sinister light upon the condition of traffic in Nottingham 110 years ago, for as the coach was proceeding across the Market Place it struck a rut of such dimensions as to completely overturn it and killed Mr. Owen in its fall.
