XXXV 
The Master of the Hospital and Repton School, the Ushers and 
the three senior poor men formed a body corporate. 
The Hospital has a double sundial. 
The return journey was made via Egginton where a brief halt 
was made at the church of St. Wilfrid. The Rev. F. Key, B.A. (Vicar) 
kindly acted as conductor. The present church, built 1290 to 1300, 
replaced the Norman structure of which no traces are said to remain. 
There is a little of the original old stained glass to be seen in the east 
window. The old door belonging to the original church remains 
however. 
The aisles of the church are supported »y two different types of 
pillars, the one being the Norman shape and the other probably about 
1320 work. A defaced stone effigy, under a long recess, of a woman 
holding a heart in ber hand is to be seen, and is thought to be the 
wife of one of the founders of the South Aisle. The list of rectors dates 
from 1317, and the Registers from 1565. The Tower has 3 bells, No. 
1 dated 1778, No. 2 supposed to be the one spared, when its fellows 
were sold for repairing Monk’s Bridge, and the 3rd dated 1615. 
Excursion to Darley Dale Lead Mines and Rowtor Rocks, July 2nd. 
Leader Mr. F. Lott, A-.R.S.M., F.LC. 
Present twelve. 
The party proceeded to Darley Dale, the ancient Parish Church 
(12th century) being first visited with its fine Yew Tree 33ft. in girth 
and Norman Font. 
The members were then conveyed to Warren’s car and Mill Close 
Lead Mines, which were inspected by the kind permission of Messrs, 
Wass and Co. Here those interested in mineralogy found many 
specimens of lead ore and other vein minerals on the spoil heaps. 
Mr. Morgan, the engineer, kindly explained the ore-dressing machinery 
which is quite up-to-date, the pumps throwing over a ton of water 
each stroke. The Mill Close is said to have been worked by the Romans.
