Full Description
[Area SK 257 703]. The lost village of Chatsworth is mentioned in Domesday and there were still free tenements in the village in 1431. The Saxton map of 1577 shows Chatsworth as a village on the eastern bank of the Derwent. (1) "It is a reasonable guess that the manor-house - if there was one - and its surrounding cottages were not far from the ford, the site of which is marked by ... Queen Mary's Bower." (2). There are no surface indications of desertion, nor evidence of a ford in the proximity of Queen Mary's Bower. (3)
