Neddytown: A History Of Draycott And Church Wilne

The Derbyshire villages of Draycott and Church Wilne have dozed quietly beside the left bank of the Derwent for more than a thousand years, barely registering a mention even in the history of the area. But have things really been as quiet as that? What about the case of the dodgy 18th-century vicar? The flying corpse? The combustible cricketer? And more disastrous, but unexplained, fires than you could shake a stick at. No, things are definitely not as quiet as they seem down by the Derwent. And anyway, why are the local inhabitants known as 'Neddies'?
