The Mundys were Derbyshire landowners with coal mines. My grandfather worked at Shipley Colliery near Ilkeston. The village of Mapperley was owned by the family, and Godfrey Mundy was Squire.

Edward VII visited and was rumoured to have liaisons there.Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-69916634082945052332021-01-05T17:37:06.374+00:002021-01-05T17:37:06.374+00:00Viscount Cole ( M G L Cole) died following a car a...Viscount Cole ( M G L Cole) died following a car accident I believe but it may have been a medical problem that caused him to lose control of the vehicle. - AnonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720195405785440385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-87491188144362915852018-08-24T14:02:56.828+01:002018-08-24T14:02:56.828+01:00Great article.
