Shirland

map of Shirland Derbyshire

Shirland is situated on the A61 Derby to Chesterfield road. The parish was in existence by the time of the Norman Conquest and by 1220 the foundations of Shirland church, St Leonard's, had been laid. By 1200 the manor of Shirland passed to Sir Henry de Grey of Essex, whose sons later came to live in Derbyshire, with John coming to Shirland. The tomb of John's descendent, Henry, 5th Lord Grey of Wilson who died in 1396, can be seen in the north wall of the chancel in the church. There are also monuments to the Revell family, known Derbyshire landowners from as early as 1433, including a memorial of John Revil, Esq., who died in 1537.(John had a son Robert.)

There are several interesting buildings in the village including the 17th century Shirland Lodge, Furnace House dating from 1787 and Amber Mill House an impressive 18th century building with a Doric doorcase
