      Alstonfield, or Alstonefield, is a village of well built houses, picturesquely seated on a western declivity above Dovedale, ten miles E of Leek, and six miles N by W of Ashbourne. It has a good inn, for the accommodation of tourists who come hither to view the wild and romantic scenery of this neighbourhood, which equals the grandeur of many of the most celebrated scenes in Derbyshire, from which county the extensive parish of Alstonfield is separated by the river Dove. The Hamps and its tributary streams, flow from the high moorlands and rocky hills, through the deeply secluded valleys of this widely spread parish, which contains only about 4700 inhabitants, though it has about 24000 acres of land in its nine townships of Alstonfield, Lower Elkstone, Upper Elkstone, Fawfield Head, Heathylee, Hollinsclough, Longnor, Quarnford & Warslow.
      Alstonfield township contains 2995 acres and 654 souls. The following are its hamlets and their distance from the village; Gatam, one mile W; Hope, half a mile SW; Milldale, three quarters of a mile SE; Stanhope, one mile S; and Narrowdale, one mile NW.

Our Names

The spelling of the name Featherstone has varied over the centuries, with additions and subtractions. Here is the list that we have registered with the Guild Of One Named Studies.

Featherstone, Featherston, Fetherstone, Fetherston, Featherstonhalgh, Featherstonehaugh, Featherstonhaugh, Fetherstonehaugh, Fetherstonhaugh.

We have examples from the Birth, Marriage and Death indexes where people were registered at birth with the final 'e' missing and were married with the final 'e' in the surname. The 'haugh' is more difficult to prove, but people have suddenly adopted it for no apparent reason, although we have instances where people adopted the name, usually when money was involved.
