The village of Parwich |
|
I have traced the Roe branch of my family back to the 1600s. They are from Parwich in Derbyshire.
The
church of St Peter was rebuilt in 1873 by Robinson of Derby, on a much older
site possibly going back 800 years. It retains a Norman doorway and chancel arch
and contains a fine carved tympanum over the west doorway, showing the lamb of
god with a cross, a stag trampling on a serpent, a wolf, and other strange
animals.
