Hartshorne is a village and civil parish in the English county of Derbyshire. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 3,888.[1] It is north of the town of Swadlincote.
The name is pronounced "Harts-horn"; the sh is not a digraph, as this is a compound.
Etymology
The name of the village is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears in the spelling Heorteshorne. This comes from the Old English word Script error: No such module "Lang". ('hart, adult male red deer') in the genitive case, compounded with the word Script error: No such module "Lang". ('horn'), and once meant 'hart's antler'. It appears that the name originally denoted not the village itself but the neighbouring hill to the south-east of the village, now called Horn Hill, which was thought to resemble a stag's antler.[2]
History
Hartshorne was mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Henry de Ferrers[3] and being worth ten shillings.[4] It passed to the Ireland family in the 14th century, and subsequently to the family of the Foljambe baronets.
The Rector of Hartshorne, William Dethick, founded a free school for local children in 1626.
In 1800, the owner of the Manor, William Bailey Cant, left it to the lawyer Thomas Erskine, in recognition of his role in the case of John Horne Tooke.[5]
