Geocache Description:

A quick micro dash at St Lawrence Parish Church in Shottle.

Shottle is a village roughly 2.5 miles west of Belper, Derbyshire England.

In Norman times, the manor of Shottle, referred to as "Sothille" in the Domesday Survey, belonged to the Ferrers[1] family.

In 1086, the book notes that

"In Shottle and Wallstone Gamal had six carucates of land to the geld. There is land for as many ploughs. There are now one ploughs in demesne and three villans and three bordars having one ploughs and five acres of meadow. Woodland pasture 3 and a half leagues by one and a half leagues. (TRE[2] worth ten shillings now ten shillings. Godric holds it"[3]

Shottle Park was one of the seven parks within Duffield Frith. [4] The gate at its south east corner is still known as Shottle Gate. To the south was the much smaller Postern Park. The present day parish is known as Shottle and Postern.
