Derby Mercury 1 Jan 1890

OSMASTON-BY-ASHBOURNE
The school children of Osmaston, Shirley and Wyaston had their annual Christmas treat at the Manor on Christmas eve. The children, with their mothers, numbering about 250, had tea provided for them. After tea a huge Christmas tree was exhibited, from which was taken a present for every child. Lady Walker has very thoughtfully provided for every woman cottager a suitable Christmas present.
