Asschebourne-en-le-Pek. This is believed to be the earliest known instance 

 of the last syllable of Ashbourne being spelt bourne. At the date of the deed 

 the usual form was burne, from the Anglo Saxon burn, a brook. The Norman 

 French form was Ashborne, which has survived in modern deeds. Ashbourne- 

 in-the-Peak. It is interesting to find this designation so early as 1326. It 

 will be found in Dr. Samuel Johnson's correspondence. Ashborne is in the 

 wapontake of Wirksworth, or Low Peak.
