Pigot and Co Directory for 1841 - Quorndon entries
"Pigot and Co.'s Royal National and Commercial Directory and Topography of the Counties of York, Leicester & Rutland, Lincoln, Northampton and Nottingham" - Extracts of the Quorn entries
Trade directories are a valuable source of information for both the local and family historian. Below is an extract of the information relating to Quorn from Pigot’s Directory for 1841.
"Rather more than two miles from Loughborough, in the same hundred and parish of Barrow upon Soar, is a neat and thriving village and chapelry of Quorndon, situate at the foot of bold and rugged hills, forming part of the extensive range constituting Charnwood Forest. From the eminences, which are richly wooded, a varied and extensive prospect is obtained over a picturesque and fertile country. The prosperity and increasing population of the village are to be ascribed to the stocking manufacture, and that of warp and bobbin-twist lace - branches which have been introduced here with great success; at one of the principal establishments is produced a beautiful article, called the Tatting and Mechlin lace. Machinery, also is manufactured here by steam power. An episcopal chapel, dedicated to St Bartholomew, and a chapel each for primitive and Wesleyan Methodists, are the places of worship; the living is a perpetual curacy, of which the vicar of Barrow is patron. The principal charities are a National School and an apprenticeship fund. The population of Quorndon chapelry in 1831 amounted to 1752 persons”
