The Bulletin  

BURNS JOHNSON SIDELIGHTS -PMMjs  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 76—No. 3927  

May 18, 1955  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for transmission by Post as Newspaper  

ST. MICHAEL'S, PARISH CHURCH  

OF MELBOURNE, ENGLAND  

T'HE English Melbourne is the “kitchen  

■*- garden” of Derbyshire, for it is situated in  

pleasant rolling country, eight miles from  

Derby and is the centre of market-gardening  

community (population 4200). Its chief feature  

of interest is Melbourne Hall, the birthplace  

of Viscount Melbourne, after whom the capital  

of Victoria was named.  

The town itself has long and notable  

history, and it is recorded in the Domesday  

Book- (1085) as royal manor. castle was  

established there in the 14th century, and it  

was there that John Duke of Bourbon, the  

most important prisoner taken at the Battle of  

Agincourt (1415), was held prisoner for  

nineteen years. His captivity, however, was not  

apparently too unpleasant for he was allowed  

to incur debts totalling £2OOO. By the 17th  

century the fortress was completely in ruins  

and only the scantiest remains exist today.  

As befits town possessing such an ancient  

past, Melbourne has splendid parish church.  

When it was built it was the largest and most  

important church in south Derbyshire. Its  

name is St. Michael’s Church, and it is shown  

in the accompanying illustration. It was built in  

the early years of the 12th century, and is one  

of the finest examples of Norman architecture  

in Britain. feature of the interior is the  

great horseshoe arches of the nave, which are  

supported by pillars as round and as massive  

as stately oak-trees.  

The church has in addition to its square,  

embattled main tower two pointed towers at  

its western end, which have the appearance of  

Kentish oast-houses.  

Near by is the beautiful Queen Anne  

mansion—Melbourne Hall—which was built  

during the 16th century but considerably  

altered and enlarged by Thomas Coke in 1721.  

Some of the stones used in the building were  

taken from the castle, mentioned above, by  

Sir John Coke, who was Secretary-of-State to  

Charles (1625-49). By the marriage of his  

daughter to Sir Matthew Lamb, the Melbourne  

property changed hands. The second Viscount  

Melbourne, Queen Victoria’s first Prime Minis-  

ter, was the most notable member of the  

Lamb family. His father had taken the title  

from the name of the township, and it is after  

the second Viscount that the capital of  

Victoria was named. silver trowel displayed  

in the Library is the one used by Lord Palmer-  

ston in 1853 to lay the foundation-stone of the  

Melbourne Athenaeum.  

humble cottage on the estate was the birth-  

place in 1808 of Thomas Cook, founder of the  

world-wide travel-agency, and benefactor to  

his native place.
