[2] On 5 April 1803, following a request from the Grand Jury, the Sheriff of Derbyshire (Robert Wilmot) held a meeting to consider the founding of a hospital in Derby.

[9] When Queen Victoria came to lay a foundation stone for the new hospital on 21 May 1891 she knighted Haslam for his services and gave permission for the term "Royal" to be used.

During 2010, St Peter's Church, Derby raised £6,000 to rehouse and display the Nightingale window in a back-lit position at the west of the north aisle.

Renamed the 'Nightingale Quarter' - after Florence Nightingale - by developer Wavensmere Homes, the new site covers 18.5 acres and includes over 900 new residential properties.

[15] The "pepper-pot towers" were turned into on-site amenities for residents including a gym and restaurant, while the existing exteriors were restored.
