The image shown above, by Mr. Jacob Schnebbelie, is of a small public
house at Whittington, in Derbyshire. It first appeared in "The
Gentleman's Magazine" of 1810 (Part II., p. 609, Plate
II.) and was reproduced in Cox's "Memorials" in 1907.
As I could not obtain an image from "The Gentleman's Magazine",
I've used the image that appeared in "Memorials"
instead.
The interesting story associated with this public house is related
on page 68 of the text from "The Gentleman's Magazine"
on this website. It is a description of an historic meeting between
Thomas Osborne, Earl of Danby, William Cavendish, Earl of Devonshire,
and Mr. John D'Arcy.
