A short history of Derby
The Romans established Derventio at Little Chester, where Roman remains are now scheduled. Anglo-Saxons and then Vikings held the site and the Vikings named it Djúra-bý, meaning village of the deer. It became a fortified town of the Danelaw within the group known as the Five Boroughs until Æthelflæd of Mercia captured it in July 917. Sir John Gell became Parliament's Governor of Derby in 1643. George Sorocold built a piped water system in 1692 and with John Lombe built Britain's first water powered silk mill in 1717. Prince Charles Edward Stuart's army arrived on 4 December 1745 and a council of war at Exeter House chose retreat. Shrovetide football, possibly played from the 12th century, was banned in 1846. Railways spread in the 19th century. Derby gained a cathedral in 1927 and city status in 1977. The Cathedral Church of All Saints and the Church of St Mary are listed at Grade I.
