Horsley, Derbyshire Totally Explained

Everything about Horsley Derbyshire totally explained

Horsley is a small village roughly 5 miles north of the City of Derby, England, with a population of circa 500.
   The parish church of St Clement and St John, which dates from the 13th century, was rededicated in 1450. It is noted for its fine peel of bells. The main street is Church Street which runs from east to west through the village.
   Horsley has three main focal points: the village green at the West side of the village, the crossroads of the Dovecote, French Lane and Church Street, and the junction of Church Street, Lady Lea Road and Smalley Mill Road (known locally as "the triangle").
   Each of these points boasts a fountain, donated to the village in 1824 by Reverend Sitwell. The fountains were named Sophia, Rosamund and Blanche after the Sitwell family's daughters.
   The village pub is called the Coach and Horses. Horsley also used to have a second pub called the Ship Inn, but this has been a private house for many years. A recreation ground is situated off French Lane. The rec has a small football pitch and contains the local crown green bowling club. The remains of twelfth century Horsley (Horeston) castle are about a mile away from the village itself.
