Melbourne, Cottage on Blackwell Lane
Melbourne is a former market town about 8 miles south of Derby, 8 miles north of Swadlincote and 2 miles from the River Trent. In 1837 a then tiny settlement in Australia was named after William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, Queen Victoria's first Prime Minister, and thus indirectly takes its name from the Derbyshire village.

Courtyard at Melbourne Hall
Originally housing all the services for the main house, this area is now a set of shops and visitor centre. The entrance on the right leads to the gardens. The large building is the Tea Room, originally the 'Wash house and bakehouse with laundry over', built by Thomas Coke as part of the Melbourne House modernisation in 1708. Built some distance from the main house for safety reasons as these functions required open fires. The building did indeed burn down in 1903 but was completely rebuilt. During World War II Polish airmen were billeted here.

Melbourne Hall
Originally a rectory for the Norman parish Church of St Michael with St Mary (in the background), the hall became the home of Sir John Coke in 1628 and has been inherited by subsequent members of the family to the present day, now home to Lord and Lady Ralph Kerr. The most famous family member to have lived here was the second Lord Melbourne, William Lamb. In 1825 he became separated from his wife Lady Caroline Lamb when her liaison with Lord Byron became notorious. Lord Melbourne became Prime Minister between 1834 and 1841, and was the chief mentor to the young Queen Victoria.
