| Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 23:23 on 14th October 2013 That's my line of thought too Ruth and if I remember rightly John has a soft spot for Derbyshire and the Peaks??? |
| rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 23:32 on 14th October 2013 I was thinking the Stannary Courts Dave, but they are limited I think to Devon and Cornwall and are only to do wth tin mining. More thinking needed  |
| Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 07:11 on 15th October 2013 Had to do some digging but all I can find is The Barmote Court but can't see that they meet twice a year |
| rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 15:16 on 15th October 2013 I think you might have it with that Dave, from what I can gather the Barmote Courts met twice a year in the Moot Hall in Wirksworth, they altered it to once a year in 1994. There were set up around 700 years ago, and it's all to do with the royalties from the lead minig in Derbyshire being paid back to the estate of the Duchy of Lancaster - well the miners aren't going to benefit are they Looks like you've cracked it |
| rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 16:12 on 15th October 2013 Well done Dave And a good quizzy John, involved a bit of research, but it's nice to learn something new, especially when you're into history like me |
| Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 18:45 on 15th October 2013 Well I have to admit to googling, which I much prefer to try not to do. Here we go then, let's see how long this lasts I portrayed the same character in 14 films |
| Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 19:21 on 15th October 2013 Sorry John, keep thinking |
| rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 19:21 on 15th October 2013 I'm thinking Bond films, either someone who played M or Moneypenny, I'm favouring Moneypenny, but I can't think of the actresses full name, I'm thinking her first name might have been Lois ? but the surname escapes me and I'm trying not to Google. |
