 Chapter 1:THORNHILL INTRODUCTION
Thornhill was first recorded as a family name in Derbyshire in 1278 and Yorkshire in 1370.
There is circumstantial evidence that the family described has a common ancestry with Sir James Thornhill (1675-1734), who painted the Painted Hall at Greenwich Hospital, the interior of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral and the ceiling of the Great Hall in Blenheim Palace.
Thornhill was also to have painted the Saloon and the Long Library, but the Duchess suspected him of sharp practice in charging (for the hall) twenty-five shillings (£1.25) a yard for the murals in grisaille; 'not', she considered, 'worth half-a-crown [12.5p] a yard' - as well as for the 'historical part' (ceiling) in colour.

 Walking in Derbyshire and the Peak District including the Derwent Valley Heritage Way
Derbyshire, an area of 2631 sq km with a population of around 930000 people, is a county of contrasting scenery which attracted many people even before the creation of the Peak National Park.
The history of the region is still much in evidence and routes established by the area's inhabitants in travelling from their farms, churches, mines and markets, remain as a network of footpaths and lanes, offering much enjoyment to today's walkers.
Derbyshire today is perhaps best known for the Peak District National Park, the first to be designated in Britain, in 1951, in recognition of its outstanding and largely unspoilt scenery.
