Embrook Grange, Derbyshire, England

Notes:
This placename is unusual because it has changed so much in 300 years. In the Churchwardens' Accounts in 1664, it was clearly called Imbrook or Ambrook.

In the Parish Registers it was called Ironbrook, Imbrook, Embrook, Imber, Ember and Ambrook. In Campbell's Placenames, it has been called Winbroc (1086), Wenbrock (1590), Yuinbroc (1200), Iuenbroc (1309), Yuenebrok (1366), Iuelbrok (1269), uynbrok (1318), Evenbrook (1332), Irnebruke (1535) and Irenbroke (1546). It seems that only with the arrival of the Ordnance Survey has the name finally settled down to Ivonbrook. Campbell finds the origin of the name quite difficult, possibly named after "Ilfa's brook". The stream is now unnamed. The added "Grange" is quite late.
