History of Teversal
"Teversal is a village and parish in the Mansfield Union, situated on rising ground near the source of the river Meden, four miles west of Mansfield. In 1871 it contained 73 houses and 373 inhabitants." [Wright's Directory of Nottingham and twelve miles round, pub 1874]
Teversal has been known by diverse names over the centuries. At the time of the Domesday Book it was recorded as Tevershalt; in 1204 it was spelt Teversholt and Tevershall by 1216; it has also been known as Tyversholtee (1337), Teversale (1349) and Tevershall (1562). In later years the more common forms were Teversall and Teversal, and the latter is the current spelling.

St Katherine’s Church,
Teversal Village
"The Church of St. Catherine is of
stone, chiefly in the Norman style,
of which the doorway furnishes
an excellent example, and
consists of chancel, nave, aisles,
south porch and a western
embattled tower with pinnacles,
containing five bells."
[Kelly's Directory of
Nottinghamshire, pub 1900] This
is the only known Grad 1 listed
building in the area.
The name of the church was
originally spelt 'Catherine', after
St Catherine, but over the years,
with the varied spelling ability of
the clergy, it changed to St.
Katherine’s.

The Manor House
17th century Grade II listed mansion that inspired the novel - Lady Chatterley's Lover, by D.H. Lawrence. Properly known as Teversal Manor, the house is said to be the inspiration for Wragby Hall and is referenced many times in the 1928 novel. The house has recently been split into a small number of self-contained dwellings
The Manor Room
Built originally as a coach house
with groom's cottage for the
Teversal estate, it was later used
as a school.
The building was bequeathed to
the village in 1929 by the
Countess of Carnarvon as a
community facility, closing in
2001 when it was in a poor state
of repair.
With the aid of lottery
funding, it was refurbished in the
style of its use as a Victorian
school house and
is used for Friends of
Teversal events and can also be hired for private events. The building
dates from the mid 18th century
and is Listed Grade II.

Silverhill Woods Country Park
Silverhill is an artificial hill near
Teversal in Nottinghamshire, and
is one of the highest points in the
county at 204.3 metres (670 ft).
Originally it was a mine spoil
heap on the site of the former
Silverhill colliery which closed in
the 1990s. It was subsequently
landscaped in 2005 by
Nottinghamshire County Council,
with tree planting, numerous
footpaths, and a viewpoint. It is
now known as Silverhill Woods,
and is one of a number of
recreation sites in the area.
These are linked together by
multi-user trails, many of which
incorporate the track beds of
disused railway lines which once
served the various local
collieries. The trails are also home to the Teversal Trails Visitor Centre on Carnarvon Street, NG17 3HJ,
where you can get refreshments before or after your walk, between 9am and 2pm, 7 days a week.
Hardwick Hall, near
Teversal
Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, is an architecturally significant Elizabethan country house in England, a leading example of the Elizabethan prodigy house. Built between 1590 and 1597 for the formidable Bess of Hardwick, it was designed by the architect Robert Smythson, an exponent of the Renaissance style of architecture. Hardwick Hall is one of the earliest examples of the English interpretation of this style, which came into fashion having slowly spread from Florence. Its arrival in Britain fortuitously coincided with the period when it was no longer necessary or legal to fortify a domestic dwelling. Ownership of the house was transferred to the National Trust in 1959
The Carnavon Arms
The Carnarvon Arms stands at the junction of Pleasley Road, Silverhill Lane and Fackley Road It was originally called the Cross Keys and became the Carnarvon Arms circa 1870. At the heart of the pub is the unique 'Ship Room' where it is claimed DH Lawrence wrote the famous 'Lady Chatterley's Lover'.
The Hardwick Inn near
Teversal
Dating back to the 15th century and built of locally quarried sandstone, Hardwick Inn is pleasantly situated on the south gate of Hardwick Park, leading from the National Trust's Hardwick Hall and has been in the family for three generations.

The Heritage Group
Teversal is a unique place whose
history, like so many other
places, is in danger of being lost
to future generations.
Teversal
Heritage Group was formed to
record and preserve as much
information, past and present, as
is possible for future generations
and to create an archive that can
be accessed by the public.
The long-term aim is to create a
continuing historical record of the Teversal area. Photographs,
documents and personal
testimony are all important
sources of information and the
Group is actively seeking material
to be accumulated in a heritage
centre based in the Manor Room.
Membership is free and anyone interested should contact the group here https://teversal-village.org/contact-heritage/
