(Whittington was included within Chesterfield’s entry in this edition)

WHITTINGTON – about three miles from Chesterfield, although but a small village, is one to which some note is attached, as having been the place where the Earl of Danby, the Duke of Devonshire and Sir John D’Arcy assembled to concert measures for effecting the revolution of 1688; the Cock and Magpie public house was the place where they finished their deliberations and there is a house still bearing that sign now in the village. On Whittington Moor are stone-ware works of Mr Aaron Madin and others. The parish contained, in 1821, about 700 inhabitants.
