A HISTORY OF DERBYSHIRE 



17. At MAPPERLEY 

 PARK WOOD (xlv. 16), 

 in Kirk Hallam parish, 

 are some small remains 

 of a square moat that 

 formerly surrounded a 

 vanished homestead. 



1 8. In MOAT WOOD 

 (Iviii. 10), MELBOURNE 

 PARKS, there is a small 

 water-filled moat, with- 

 in which was the site 

 of the lodge pertaining 

 to the park attached to 

 Melbourne Castle. 



19. At ASHBOURNE 

 FARM, SHIREBROOK 

 (xxvi. 1 6), are the faint 

 traces of a small moat, 

 apparently of the home- 

 stead character. 



20. SHIRLEY HALL 

 (xliii. 15) was sur- 

 rounded by a small 

 square moat ; three sides 

 of it, which are water- 

 filled, still remain. 



21. The site of the 

 original hall at SNIT- 



TERTON (xxix. 14) is 



still clearly defined by 

 a rectangular moat, 

 now drained, one side 

 of which has been filled 

 in to make the road 

 from Matlock. This 

 must not be confused 

 with the dyke immedi- 

 ately behind the present 

 Elizabethan hall. The 

 outer measurement of 

 this moat is about 200 

 feet square. 1 



22. STAINSBY HALL 

 (xxxi. i), in Ault 



1 A paper on Snitterton Hall 

 read by Mr. W. J. Andrew to 

 the Derb. Arch. Society, 1904.
