DETHICK, LEA & HOLLOWAY An Historic Parish |
Welcome, my name is Alan S. Flint and I would like to thank you for visiting with us here in this beautiful part of Derbyshire. As the title of this site suggests, the Parish of Dethick, Lea and Holloway has much of genuine historic interest. I hope that as the site is developed you will call back often. I plan for the site to contain numerous articles explaining about the rich heritage we appreciate so much. Also articles about some of the rather well-known and indeed some lesser-known people who have made the Parish what it is today. Information will also be included that I hope will be useful for those who have 'connections' here and are researching their family history.

Although there is a Guest Book at the bottom of this page, which you are invited to sign, you are also very welcome to e-mail me [Alan S. Flint] with any comments or suggestions you may have to improve this site.
I must record my very great thanks to Mr. George Wigglesworth of the Dethick, Lea and Holloway Historical Society for his kind permission to use the large amount of written material that he and others have earlier contributed to a series of articles about the Parish. I intend to transcribe them all, it may take me some time, so the articles will be added to the site individually to ensure a steady flow of interesting information. Individual authors will be credited as appropriate.
