Contents

The name is pronounced "Harts-horn"; the sh is not a digraph, as this is a compound.

Etymology

The name of the village is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears in the spelling Heorteshorne. This comes from the Old English word heorot ('hart, adult male red deer') in the genitive case, compounded with the word horn ('horn'), and once meant 'hart's antler'. It appears that the name originally denoted not the village itself but the neighbouring hill to the south-east of the village, now called Horn Hill, which was thought to resemble a stag's antler. [2]

History

Hartshorne was mentioned in the Domesday book as belonging to Henry de Ferrers [3] and being worth ten shillings. [4] It passed to the Ireland family in the 14th century, and subsequently to the family of the Foljambe baronets.

The Rector of Hartshorne, William Dethick, founded a free school for local children in 1626.

In 1800, the owner of the Manor, William Bailey Cant, left it to the lawyer Thomas Erskine, in recognition of his role in the case of John Horne Tooke. [5]

Amenities

Local pubs include the Admiral Rodney, named after the 1st Baron Rodney (1719–1792); the Mill Wheel (with an 18th-century mill wheel measuring 20 feet (6.1 m) in diameter); the Bulls Head; and the Greyhound. "he Chesterfield Arms was demolished in September 2009. The Snooty Fox (formerly the Dominoes) was demolished in 2009. The New Inn closed in the 1960s and was then used as a hairdressing salon before being demolished in 1975 to make a car park extension for the Admiral Rodney.

The Old Manor House in the northern part of the village is a Grade II* listed 17th-century timbered building on Main Street. [6] It was built for one John Benskin in 1629 according to parish rate records. [7] Situated south west of St Peter's Church in the southern part of the village, it is distinct from The Manor House (also known as the Old Hall) in the northern part of the village. [8] [9]

Transport

The local bus service is the No.2 maintained by Arriva Midlands between Derby and Swadlincote via Melbourne, this was previously a Trent route 168 & Arriva route No.69.
