Melbourn is a parish, in the hundred of Repton and Gresley. The village, which is a considerable one, and of some antiquity, is situate seven miles and a half SSE from derby, and about six NNE from Ashby de la Zouch. Camden notices this place as having a castle, wherein John Duke of Bourbon, of the blood royal of France, was incarcerated nine years, having been taken prisoner at the Battle of Agincourt. The only vestige now remaining of this edifice is a wall of considerable thickness and height, about twenty yards in length. Lord Melbourn, who derives his title from this place, has a seat here, the gardens of which are laid out with exquisite taste, and are accessible to the inhabitants and strangers; the tourist will derive ample gratification from visiting this delightful spot. The inhabitants, many of whom were formerly employed in spinning and combing wool and working upon the stocking frame, are now principally engaged in the manufacture of blonde lace. Melbourn is one of the stations named in the new Boundry Act, for receiving votes at the election of knights of the shire to represent its southern division. The places of worship are the parish church and chapels for the presbyterians, methodists, calvinists and general baptists. The church, which is dedicated to St Michael, is one of the oldest in the Kingdom, as well as one of the finest specimens of Saxon architecture; it is said to have been founded by Ethelred, king of Mercia, who came to the throne AD 675. During the same year the Queen was murdered, at which crime he was supposed to have connived; and, to atone for his guilt, began to found churches. This church, one of the first which he erected, was built in the year 677. St John’s church, at Chester, is in the same style of Architecture, and was completed by him between the years 682 and 689. Upon the capital of one of the pillars may be recognised similar charcters to those seen on the coins of Ethelred. Theliving of Melbourn is a vicarage, in the patronage of the Bishop of Carlisle. A school for infants and one conducted upon the national plan are in the village. The parish (which has no dependant township) contained, at the census taken in 1821, 2027 inhabitants, and by that for 1831, 2301; POST Melbourn – Letters arrive from Derby by William Statham’s caravan, every afternoon and are dispatched every morning.
