Spondon village, Derbys.
An easterly view along Park Road towards Church Street. These stone gate piers mark the exit from the grounds of "Field House" (a former grand residence or Hall). The residence was built c.1750 for the Osborne family. Having fallen into disrepair c.1918 it was bought by the local Education Authority and is now the site of a school. The gates are all that remain of the property and they now serve to mark the entrance into the West Park School car park. They also serve as one of the access points into the West Park Meadows Local Nature Reserve.

Spondon village, Derbys.
This Grade II-listed Anglican church - St Werburgh's - stands at the top of a hill in the centre of the original village. This picture is taken from Lodge Lane (the A6096, Spondon to Ilkeston Road). The main body of the church, i.e. the nave and chancel, along with the 35 metre high tower and spire, date to 1390. The north wall of the nave was rebuilt in 1826 to correct damage caused by subsidence. St Werburgh was born c650, the daughter of King Wulfhere and Queen Ermenhilda of Mercia. Against her father's wishes she became a nun and was she eventually entered Ely Abbey. She subsequently became an Abbess and finally the senior Abbess of all Mercia. She died on 3rd February 700.
