Derbyshire Settlements Mentioned in the Domesday Book on a Map

Name the Derbyshire settlements that are mentioned in the Domesday Book, the survey of England commissioned by William the Conqueror in the 1080s.
Modern names are used as answers.
I have excluded settlements that no longer exist as well as those that now have very small or dispersed populations. However, where exactly I drew the line regarding population was not scientific, merely a subjective judgement.
“n.r.” = population not recorded. This might indicate that a settlement had been abandoned, but may also be entirely incidental. Often larger towns had no population recorded, for instance.

- The size of the dots on the map represent relative population, not geographical size.

- County boundaries were certainly not fixed at this point; I have chosen to exclude settlements that were recorded as part of Derbyshire but that now fall outside of the historic county’s borders.

- Population. Where to start. The populations I have included in the table are the result of multiplying the number of households recorded in a particular settlement by five. There seems to be agreement that this method can be used as a very basic estimate of population, but there are many, many problems with it that I won’t spell out. Essentially, take these numbers with an absolutely huge heap of salt. While these numbers may therefore be pretty meaningless in a vacuum, the fact that they allow settlements to be ordered by population does give a good idea of which settlements were the most prominent and which were relatively small.
