GUEST,Alan Whittle Spencer the Rover- gibbeted highwayman? (25) RE: Spencer the Rover- gibbeted highwayman? 31 May 11


There was a legend that the only reason you could go near Chatsworth House is that the public had to have access to seeeing a gibbet - which had to be near the scene of a crime.

i don't know if its true. No doubt some expert on Derbyshire folklore will have the full story. Its is said, that the Duke of Devonshire had an entire village relocated to build Chatsworth in the beautiful position that it is.
