And after seven years spent with trial transcripts, family documents, newspaper reports, House of Lords records and a treasure trove of nearly 400 legal depositions unearthed in Dublin and at the National Archives in Kew, it is now clear to Ekirch that those Memoirs are, essentially, true. "Annesley wasn't the author, but he was the source of the ­information," he says. "You don't have to dig far to substantiate it." The Midland Railway Company opened their branch line from Nottingham to Mansfield in 1849, the nearest station would have been Newstead which didn't open until 1863. All Saints' church (C12 and later, listed grade I, scheduled ancient monument) is located to the north of Annesley Hall and is surrounded by a walled churchyard. In 1875 it was replaced as the parish church by the church in Annesley Woodhouse and in the late C20 it became unsafe and was partially demolished. The main entrance to the churchyard is off the A608. Steps immediately north-east of the Hall lead to a now (1999) disused entrance to the churchyard, 30m north-east from the Hall. There are views from the churchyard to the south over the parkland. Anerley has never existed as an independent entity, but rather as a general area. Prior to the enclosure in 1827 and the relocation of the Crystal Palace to Penge Place at the top of Sydenham Hill, Anerley was an unoccupied part of Penge Common, and did not develop until the 19th century. The government Act of 1827 stipulated that a 50 feet (15 metres) wide, new road, was to be set out from Elmers End Road to what is now Church Road, Upper Norwood. [1] In 1827, a Scottish silk manufacturer named William Sanderson bought land on the former Penge Common and built the first house in the area, which he named "Anerly Lodge", a Scottish and Northern English dialect word meaning "solitary" or "only", [2] and the road subsequently became known as Anerley Road, also giving the name to the surrounding area. [1] [3] Sanderson's name is the first to appear in the first rate book, dated 18 June 1827, now held in the Anerley Town Hall.

The historian's one regret is that so little of that story – apart from the testimony he gave at his murder trial – survives in Jemmy's own words. He left no diaries, few papers. The key details of James Annesley's life, nonetheless, are now known beyond reasonable doubt, and it remains "a quite extraordinary saga of betrayal and loss, but also of survival, resilience and redemption," Ekirch says. "This is not just a story about 18th-century England and Ireland, but about the iniquities and virtues of human nature." The Annesley Colliery Company started the third stage of building at Annesley by opening Annesley Colliery in 1865. The Company used the Midland Railway to transport its coal. After the opening of the Colliery the Annesley Colliery Company built New Annesley, locally called Annesley Rows, comprising of 2 rows of 80 miners cottages, completed in 1873. New Annesley did not get its own station until July 1874.
