Crich history
In 1009 King Æthelred the Unready signed a charter at the Great Council which recognised the position and boundaries of Weston-on-Trent and several other manors including Crich. The land was listed as eight hides at Weston upon Trent, and a hide at Crich, Morley, Smalley, Ingleby and Kidsley. This land was then given to Morcar, the King’s chief minister, who was unusually given rights that were normally reserved for the King alone.
Quarrying
Crich lies on a small inlier of Carboniferous limestone in the Peak District. Quarrying for limestone probably began in Roman times. In 1791 Benjamin Outram and Samuel Beresford bought land for a quarry to supply limestone to their new ironworks at Butterley. Hilt’s Quarry closed in 1933 and is derelict. Rolls-Royce used it for dumping low-level radioactive waste.
