NEWBOLD, with Dunstan, a township in the parish and union of Chesterfield, hundred of Scarsdale, northern division of the county of Derby, 1¼ mile north-west from Chesterfield; containing 1,527 inhabitants [in 1848]. The manor of Newbold, at Doomsday survey, was parcel of the demesne of the crown. At the Dissolution [of the Monasteries], it was part of the estate of Beauchief Abbey, and appears to have been granted to Sir William WEST, whose son sold it in 1570 to the EYRE family : the manor was afterwards exchanged with the Duke of PORTLAND.The township comprises 3,002 acres. Newbold village is situated on a considerable elevation, commanding extensive views over a well-wooded and highly cultivated country. There are extensive coal and iron mines, and several manufactories of brown earthenware and stone bottles. A Methodist place of worship was built in 1842. A school-house was erected by the executors of George MILNES, Esq, who endowed it with land producing an income of 23 pounds 8 shillings; and an almshouse was founded in 1781, by Mrs Elizabeth TOMLINSON, who endowed it with 400 pounds four per cents, for three women.
