I was a pupil at Barlborough Hall School from Jan 1955 to July 1959. I then went to the senior school, Mount St Mary's, just a couple of miles away, until July 1965.

It is with a great sense of humility that I am now able to share a connection to others who have memories of Barlborough Hall. Geneological data regarding my Mother's family revealed that I am a direct descendant of Justice Francis Rodes, who built Barlborough Hall.

I have been told that my Great Uncle or Great-great uncle worked as head gardener at the Hall in the 1800s. They were both called Robert Holdgate so I am not sure which uncle it was.

Derbyshire memories
The gentleman pushing a cart in the foreground of this picture is my grandfather, Ernest Pearce (1895-1970). The cart was used to transport bundles of sticks that he cut for sale as firewood. They were sold for 4d a bundle. This was used to supplement his wages when he was a miner and later, as in the photo, during his retirement.

Many happy memories of walking down to Cat Gallows, half way to Eckington, walking to Halfway and to Swallownest. Walking?... [more]

Derbyshire Revisited Photographic Memories
Sometimes described as the county's finest unspoilt Elizabethan country house, Barlborough Hall has stood to the north of Barlborough, a north-east Derbyshire village, for four centuries. The ornate, lantern-towered and mullioned structure was built for Lord Justice Francis Rodes to a design attributed to Robert Smythson in 1584, and remains in private hands.

Barlborough was built by Francis Rodes, brother-in-law of the fourth Earl of Rutland and a member of a landed family who had been settled in Derbyshire for about two centuries. Rodes, who was appointed a Judge of the Common Pleas in 1585, also built halls at Hickleton and Great Houghton.

The Technical College c1950 Clowne is situated about 9 miles north-east of Chesterfield. Many men found work at nearby pits, including Barlborough on the outskirts of the village. One of the reasons a college was established here was to provide educational support for the mining industry.
