Littleover Parish Boundaries Project

Post date: Jul 10, 2016 11:01:09 AM

The "Littleover Parish Boundaries" project was introduced by Tony Brookes with reference to an early 1800's map that showed the extent of the Littleover Parish and Village before it was taken over by Derby City. There was a great deal of interest in the scope of the project and several members took up the opportunity to become more involved.

The Parish Boundaries Project was set up by the Council of British Archeology - "The English countryside is a multi-layered patchwork on which each generation has left its mark. We are aiming to discover more about the countyside by looking at the ancient boundaries that define it. These boundaries were important and defined the landscape for centuries, some dating back into prehistory. Many continue to be important corridors and wildlife havens today".
