YEAVELEY, Derbyshire - Extract from National Gazetteer, 1868

"YEAVELEY, a township and ecclesiastical district in the parish of Shirley, hundred of Appletree, county Derby, 4 miles S. of Ashbourne, and 10 from Derby. The ruins now called Stydd Chapel formed part of a hermitage given by Ralph le Fun, in the reign of Richard I., to the Knights of St. John, and which afterwards came to the Knights Hospitallers, who had a preceptory here, which at the Dissolution was valued at £107 38. 8d.

The living is a perpetual curacy in the diocese of Lichfield, and in the patronage of the Vicar of Shirley. The church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The Independents have a chapel. There is a National school. The feast takes place on the first Sunday after 16th August."
