142 JOTTINGS ABOUT OLD DERBY. 
lecturer, and also Head-master of the Free Grammar School. 
The Corporation, in whom the presentation was vested, changed it 
to Sunday evening, by what authority I do not know, but clearly 
against the will of the founder, who instructs that the lecture was 
to be delivered every Friday, in the forenoon, in the Parish 
Church of All Hallows, in Derby, and that £20 should be paid 
to the preacher. 
S. PETER’s comprised the chapelries of BoULTON, NORMANTON, 
and OsmastTon. In 1781 the vicar was the Reverend Beaumont 
Dixie ; patron, Willoughby Dixie, Esq. The services consisted 
of two Sunday services, morning and afternoon, excepting every 
third Sunday, when there was an afternoon service at Normanton 
instead. And this was the only service held at Normanton, 2.e., 
once in three weeks! Up to 1780 morning prayers were said 
daily, and £10 per annum paid out of the Liversage Charity to

been established—for which £35 per annum is allowed for a 
sermon or lecture every Sunday evening—and daily service and 
weekly communions. S. Peter’s was, I believe, the last church

He was sentenced to the punishment by the Court of Lichfield. 
S. ALKMUND’s contained the chapelry of LirrLeE Eaton. In 
1781 the vicar was the Reverend Thomas Manlove, also, I 
believe, Head-master of the Grammar School. Patrons, the 
Mayor and Corporation of Derby. Services, so far as I know, 
on Sundays—morning and afternoon, and on Thursday mornings. 
S. WerrRBuRGH’s.—This parish had no chapelries within it. 
In 1781 this living and S. Michael’s were held together by my 
grandfather. The patron was the Lord Chancellor. 
S. MicHagE_’s comprised the Chapelry of ALvAsToN. 
With regard to the services at this church and S. Werburgh’s 
in 1781, there was one Sunday service given alternately once in 
three weeks; and at S. Werburgh’s Matins was said on Satur- 
days. These, you will see, were in the days of Pluralities—my
