A tennis tournament was originally held at Buxton Garden's[1] as early as 1880.[2] By 1883 the club had attracted more players and a men's championships was staged for the first time which was won by Minden Fenwick,[2] he went on to win the New Zealand Championships three times from (1892–1894).[3] In 1884 the owners of the Buxton Gardens, the Buxton Improvements Company, decided to stage a fully open event featuring men's and women's singles, with ladies' and gentlemen's singles played under the title 'Championship of Derbyshire', and a ladies' doubles played with the imposing title of 'The All-England Ladies Doubles'.[2] The inaugural ladies' singles champion was Agnes Noon Watts.[2] This latter championship was the first of its kind, being inaugurated before Wimbledon.[2] In July 1914 the Derby and District Lawn Tennis Association was officially incorporated,[4] this organisation later became known as the Derbyshire Lawn Tennis Association who were responsible for the staging of this event.[5] The championships were not staged during World War I or World War II.[2] It remained a featured tournament in the annual tennis tours. The tournament is still held today as a closed tennis event.
