26 HENOVERE AND THE CHURCH OF HEANOR. 



deed of 1599 " Radbourne, Eggington, Micleover, alias 

 Greatore, Littleover, Heynour, Mackworth, Etwall, Dalbrye 

 Lees," etc., are given among the possessions of Germa)'ne 

 Pole, Esq., of Radbourn.'^ This Heynour, or Rough Heanor, 

 would appear to be the old FitzWalchelin tenure. 



The historic setting of Henovere is still partly maintained, 

 for the name of one of the fields belonging to the farm, called 

 Rough Heanor, in the parish of Mickleover, is Rowditch^ — 

 obviously the modern representative of the " Rughedich " of 

 the Chartulary. 



The Church of Henovere. — -This is a more difficult 

 subject, depending on negative criticism rather than on positive 

 assertion as in the previous question. Several authorities are 

 quoted tO' shew the diflSculty attending the assumption that 

 Heanor Church was subject to Burton Abbey, and the nature 

 of the difficulty. 



The earliest authority is Thomas de Musca, Canon of the 

 Abbey of Dale, or, more correctly, of Stanley Park. In his 

 Chronicle he gives an account of the baker of Derby who became 

 the first hermit of Depedale, and in that account says : " Fuit 

 quidam pistor in Derby in vico qui dicitur Sancte Marie habebat 

 auteni tunc temporis ecclesia beate Marie de Derby magnam 

 parochiam et ecclesia de enere fuit ei subjecta et capella."^ 



\Translation. — " There was a certain baker in Derby in the 

 street which is called St. Mary's. Moreover, at that time the 

 Church of St. Mary at Derby had a large parish, and the 

 Church of Heanor was subject to it, and a chapel. "^J 



" Dugdale's Monasticon Anglicanum, translated into 

 English," i"] I?) (p. 189), contains an account of Dale Abbey: 

 " There was a baker at Derby, in St. Mary's Street, at what 

 time the Church and Chapel of Eanore were subject to the 

 Church of St. Mary at Derby."

"^ I am indebted for this to Mr. Edward Mclnnes, of Littleover, a member 

 of the Society.
