KILLAMARSH, a parish in the hundred of SCARSDALE, county of DERBY, 9 miles (N. E.) from Chesterfield, containing 779 inhabitants. The living is a perpetual curacy, with the rectory of Eckington, in the archdeaconry of Derby, and diocese of Lichfield and Coventry. The church, dedicated to St. Giles, is partly in the Norman style. At the Norman survey this place was called Chinewoldemaresc, and the manor was formerly held by the tenure of providing a horse of the value of five shillings, with a sack and a spur, for the king's army in Wales. Robert Turie, in 1720, bequeathed a rent-charge of £7. 10.; which sum, with the produce of sundry other gifts, amounting together of about £22, is paid for the instruction of twenty-five children. The Chesterfield canal, and a railway communicating with the coal mines in the vicinity, pass through the parish.
