  Note: whilst specific Surname Interests are under normal circumstances catered for elsewhere than GENUKI, the Allsop Surname has such close ties with the village that it is felt the two are inseparable. The surname originated in the village, and there are more references to the name in Derbyshire than anywhere else.
