CHILCOTE, Derbyshire - Extract from National Gazetteer, 1868

"CHILCOTE, a chapelry in the parish of Clifton-Campville, in the hundred of Repton, in the county of Derby, 6½ miles S.W. of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The village is situated on a rock, and was rebuilt by the late F. Robertson, Esq. The living is a curacy annexed to the rectory* of Clifton Campville, in the diocese of Lichfield, in the patronage of H. J. Pye, Esq.

The chapel, dedicated to St. Matthew, is a neat structure with beautiful stained-glass windows. The Hall, the seat of the Milwards and Clarkes, has been taken down. Near this place, at a spot called No Ian's Heath, the counties of Leicester, Stafford, Warwick, and Derby adjoin, so that a person may be in all four of them at the same time. The lord of the manor is E. W. Robertson, Esq."
