Derbyshire

Cutthorpe Institute This was the original school building, later replaced by the 'New School'. It was built by John Brown, a mayor of Chesterfield. He was a land agent for several large estates and he rebuilt much of Cutthorpe in the late 19th century. These include three stone and two brick houses in The Square and a row of houses called "The Poplars" in Main Road below The Three Merry Lads. All his buildings were built in his distinctive style and most had his crest on the walls. Some are still visible today.
