BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Doveridge is a village and Civil parish in Derbyshire, United Kingdom, near the border with Staffordshire and about 2 km (1.2 mi) east of Uttoxeter. Its name may come from its having a bridge over the river Dove (i.e. Dove(B)ridge), a tributary of the River Trent. Doveridge Hall was built in 1769 for Sir Henry Cavendish, 1st Baronet, by Edward Stevens, a pupil of the eminent 18th century architect, Sir William Chambers. After going through various occupants, the Hall was put up for sale on 16th April 1935, a good many of the properties and land going to residents of Doveridge. The Hall itself, together with 85 acres of land, was not included in the auction, but was sold privately but again passed through various owners in quick succession before it was bought by Messrs Ward and Godbehere of Uttoxeter. The house was finally demolished in 1938.
