Entries for the area of the Ancient Parish of Glossop.
GLOSSOP,
WITH THE TOWNSHIPS OF
HADFIELD, PADFIELD, AND WHITFIELD, THE HAMLETS OF CHARLESWORTH,
HOWARD’S TOWN AND NEIGHBOURHOODS.
GLOSSOP is a village
and township, in the populous and extensive parish of its name, in
the hundred of High Peak ; 184 miles from London. 50 n.n.w. from
Derby, 25 n. w. from Sheffield,and 13 s. e. from Manchester, This
village, which is one of great manufacturing consequence, is situate
on a rising bank, springing from one of the deepest valleys in the
Peak.
The country around is
very pleasing, and many of the views may be considered romantic:
plantations abound in the home scenery, and the lands in the low
grounds are fertile; but the mountainous parts are less productive.
In Glossop and its vicinity there are upwards of forty establishments
for the spinning of cotton, and the manufacture of various fabrics
from that article; for calico printing also, there is an extensive
concern at Dinting-vale, and woollen goods are made to a limited
extent: there are, besides, two paper mills in the neighbourhood, at
one of which (Dinting Mill,) the article is manufactured by patent
machinery. Coal is worked about three miles hence, and from these
mines Glossop and the neighbourhood are principally supplied. Glossop
is one of the stations appointed by the new Boundary Act, for
receiving votes at the election of knights of the shire, to represent
the northern division of the county. The Duke of Norfolk is lord of
the manor, and holds courts-leet at Easter and Michaelmas ; at the
latter period a constable and headborough are appointed, in whom the
government of the township is vested. Glossop is in the honour of
Tutbury, and within the jurisdiction of a court of pleas, held there
every third Tuesday, for the recovery of debts under forty shillings.
The church, which is
dedicated to All Saints, is an ancient structure: the body has been
rebuilt, and public worship was performed in it, for the first time
after the repairs were completed, in September, 1832.
The living is a
discharged vicarage, in the patronage of the Duke of Norfolk, and
incumbency of the Rev. Christopher Howe. In the church is a monument,
by Bacon, to the memory of Joseph Hague, Esq. of Park Hall, near
Hayfield, who bequeathed the interest of £1000. towards
clothing twenty-four poor men and women, of this and some of the
adjacent townships.
Glossop Hall, the
property of the Duke of Norfolk, is near the village ; and at
Gamesley, about a mile to the west, is Melandra Castle, the vestiges
of a Roman station. On Wednesday, the 30th of July, 1834, the
neighbourhood of Glossop was visited by a most tremendous tempest;
the village appeared, at one time, to be enveloped in one almost
continuous blaze of lightning, while the thunder, pealing amongst the
hills, was unusually loud and terrific, and the rain and hail poured
down in quantities, of which no description can present an adequate
idea : an overwhelming flood was the consequence, which swept down
the valley with impetuous force, carrying devastation in its
resistless course, and striking with dismay the inhabitants. The
brook which waters Glossop, increased by the streams from the hills,
assumed a most appalling appearance, and, rushing onward, threatened
destruction to all erections on its banks, and to bridges which
crossed it. Several mills received great injury ; amongst which, Mr.
John Kershaw’s factory, at Hurst, sustained damage to the
amount of upwards of £1000.: two young women and a child,
belonging to these works, perished in the flood, and others were
severely bruised. In addition to the mischief done to the factories
and works, very extensive injury occurred to the fields, gardens,
fences, roads, and bridges, of which last, four were entirely
destroyed. Such was the suddenness, violence, and rapidity of the
torrent, that not only sheep and lambs, but hares, rabbits, and even
birds, were carried away by it; and it is said that some fish were
caught on the turnpike road.
A fair, for cattle and
various commodities, is held on the 6th of May. The entire parish of
Glossop contained, by the census taken in 1821,13,766inhabitants, and
by that for 1831, 18,080, of which last number 2,012 were returned
for the township.
Hadfield is a village,
in the township of Hadfield and Dinting, in the parish of Glossop,
about two miles west therefrom. About thirty years ago this township
was strictly an agricultural district, with a small population ; but
at the last census it contained 1,270 inhabitants.
Padfield is a township,
in the parish of Glossop, about two miles north-west from that
village. The cotton manufacture prevails here extensively, and has
been the means of more than doubling its population in ten years, as,
by the census taken in 1821, it contained only 499 inhabitants, and
in 1831, 1,102.
Whitfield is also a
township in the parish of Glossop, situate about a mile and a half
north from that village, on the road leading to Chapel-en-le-Frith.
Like the neighbouring townships in this parish, it is indebted for
its consequence to the manufactories established within its limits. A
school was founded and endowed, by the late Joseph Hague, Esq.
(before mentioned) in 1779, and the school-house was erected about
1786. A chapel, for Wesleyan Methodists, is the only place of worship
in this township - which contained, at the last census, 1,734
inhabitants, having nearly doubled its population in ten years.
Charlesworth is a
populous hamlet, about three miles south-west from Glossop, in that
parish; it contains a place of worship for independent Calvinists,
and a population (by the last returns) of 1,206 inhabitants, who are
chiefly supported by the manufacturing interest. _
Howard’s Town,
once called Bridge-end, is a hamlet in Glossop parish, one mile from
that town. This is a thriving little place - called into consequence
within a comparatively few years, by the erection of some extensive
cotton manufactories. Here are two respectable inns, the ‘Howard’s
Arms’ and the ‘Norfolk Arms.’ Population returned
with Glossop parish.

HAYFIELD AND
NEIGHBOURHOOD.
HAYFIELD, an
independent chapelry, generally included in the parish of Glossop, is
four miles s. from Glossop, and about the same distance n. from
Chapel-en-le-Frith. It is a populous manufacturing district, having
several large cotton spinning factories, and one for woollen goods.
The church is a handsome modern edifice, rebuilt by the inhabitants
in 1818, and the interior is much admired for its neatness. The
living is a perpetual curacy, and the resident freeholders have the
privilege of nominating the minister. This peculiar right it seems
was granted by Richard II, in the year 1386. The present incumbent is
the Rev. Samuel Wasse, M.A. who is also the head master of the free
grammar school, at Sherborne, Yorkshire. Here is a large day and
Sunday school belonging to the establishment; the day school having
an endowment for the education of a limited number of free scholars,
who, together with the children of the town and neighbourhood, are
taught by Mr. E. Adamson, the present master. A meeting-house is here
for the Methodists’ old connexion, who also have a large Sunday
school. About a mile from Hayfield,on the Glossop road, is situated
Park Hall, the beautiful seat of John White, Esq. a magistrate for
the county of Derby. The population of the whole chapelry, including
the out-townships, by the parliamentary returns, is about 3,600.

MELLOR (Derbyshire),
WITH MARPLE, ROMILY,
AND COMPSTALL BRIDGE (Cheshire.)
MELLOR, a chapelry in
the parish of Glossop in the High Peak hundred, is two miles from
Marple, six and a half from Glossop, eight from Chapel-en-le- Frith,
seven from Stockport, and 14 from Manchester. The church, dedicated
to St. James, which is of stone, is erected on a commanding
situation, a short distance from the village : the Rev. Matthew
Freeman enjoys the curacy for life: the gift of the living is in the
Thornton family. Here is a small Sunday-school, belonging to the
church, and Wesleyan and primitive Methodist chapels. In a vault In
the church-yard is a coffin,cut out of the solid stone; the lid of
which is of the same material, and is covered with masonic characters
cut in the stone : the person for whom this substantial and final
requisite was made is still living, and personally superintended its
construction. The extensive concern of T. R. and S. Waller, cotton
spinners and thread manufacturers, here,gives employment to a great
number of hands. The population of the chapelry, in 1821, was 2,099,
and at the last census (1831) it had sustained a diminution of 40
persons.-
Roworth, about a mile
from Mellor, is a hamlet in the same parish as that town, in Glossop
dale; containing several manufactories in the cotton branch, from
which the inhabitants of the hamlet derive their support.
Marple and Marple
Bridge, commonly called Upper and Nether Marple, (Nether Marple, or
Marple Bridge, being situate in the county of Derby,) form a chapelry
in the parish of Stockport, about five miles E.S.E. from that town,
and 12 from Manchester. The spinning of cotton, bleaching, and calico
printing, are carried on to some extent in the chapelry and
neighbourhood, and upon the river Goyt are some corn mills. Not far
from the village is a noble aqueduct of three arches, which bestrides
the river Mersey. A branch from the Peak Forest canal to
Macclesfield, was opened here on the 9th November, 1831; It joins the
Mersey canal at Lawton, being twenty-six miles and a quarter in
length, and is a most material convenience to this manufacturing
neighbourhood. Wyberslegh hall, now a farm house, is noted as the
birth place of the notorious John Bradshaw, who was president of the
high court of justice which condemned King Charles I. In the
registers of Stockport church his birth is thus entered: ‘1602,
John the Sonne of Henry Bradshaw, of Marple, was baptized the 10th of
December.' In the margin is the word traitor, with a line
under it. It is said the following prophetic lines were written by
this staunch adherent to republican principles, on a stone in the
church-yard of Macclesfield:
“My brother Henry
must heir the land,
My brother Frank must
be at his command:
While I, poor Jack,
will do that
That all the world
shall wonder at”
He died in 1659. The
probate copy of his will, which may still be seen at Marple hall,
contains a bequest of £700. to purchase an annuity for
maintaining a free school, at Marple; the changes brought about with
regard to property, at the restoration, prevented this provision from
being available. Henry Bradshaw, who survived his brother, however,
founded a small school here, and endowed it with the interest of £100
which has since been augmented by other benefactions. Marple hall is
a noble old house, finely situate on the rise of a hill above the
Goyt, and is the property, as well as Wyberslegh hall, of John
lsherwood, Esq. a descendant of the before-named president Bradshaw.
Here is a chapel of ease to Stockport, re-built of stone, with a
tower, containing the old bells of Stockport church. It is dedicated
to All Saints, and the living is a perpetual curacy, in the gift of
the rector of Stockport - the Rev. W. W. Johnson is the incumbent:
the registers commenced in 1655. Besides the church, here are chapels
for Wesleyan and primitive Methodists. The chapelry contained, in
1821, a population of 2,646, and in 1831, 2,678 inhabitants.
Romily is a township,
in the parish of Stockport, from which it is distant about four
miles, situate on the hills bordering on the neighbouring county of
Derby. Chadkirk chapel is in this township, nearly opposite to Marple
hall; and there are chapels for independents and Wesleyan Methodists,
the latter is also used as a Sunday-school. The living of Romily, or
Chadkirk, is a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of the rector of
Stockport. The number of inhabitants, in 1821, was 1,181, and in
1831, 1,290.
Compstall Bridge, a
thriving village, in the parish of Stockport, is five miles from that
town, and two from Marple. The principal employment of the
inhabitants is cotton spinning, calico printing and weaving. The
situation of this place is delightful, and, being surrounded by
hills, cold is rarely felt here in its severity. No court in any of
the neighbouring towns has jurisdiction over this place; a county
court writ from Chester, being the only process that can be employed.
The Wesleyan and primitive Methodists have each a chapel here, which
are the only places of worship. Thirty years ago Compstall consisted
of only a few straggling cottages, but since the establishment of the
cotton manufacture, it has been gradually rising to its present
thriving condition. The population is about 1,700.

NEW MILLS (Derbyshire),
DISLEY (Cheshire)
AND NEIGHBOURHOODS.
NEW MILLS, an extensive
hamlet, in the parish of Glossop, and in the High Peak hundred, is 14
miles from Manchester, 6 from Chapel-en-le-Frith, and 8 from
Stockport. It is pleasantly situate on the borders of Derbyshire and
Cheshire; and, within a comparatively few years, has risen to
importance in the manufacturing district; cotton spinning being
carried on hereto a considerable extent, affording employment to
numerous hands. The factories are in a great measure hid from public
view in passing through the village, being built at the foot of the
stream, under high towering rocks. Good house coal, as well as other
kinds for the purposes of machinery, is obtained near to the village,
the top bed' strata running from sixteen to twenty inches thick. The
village is built chiefly upon a stone quarry, but the soil in
many-parts is fertile, producing good crops of wheat and potatoes. A
new road which has been lately formed to join the Buxton road, will
doubtless prove a great accommodation.
The places of worship
are, a new church, erected within these few years, and chapels for
the use of the Methodists’ old connexion, primitive Methodists,
and Calvinists. The church is a handsome building of stone, in the
Gothic style, and is dedicated to St. George. The cost of its
erection amounted to about £3,500., the parliamentary
commissioners having granted £2,500 in aid of the work: the
ground for its site was given by Lord George Cavendish. The living is
a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry of Derby, and diocese of
Lichfield and Coventry, and in the patronage of the vicar of Glossop.
The edifice contains about 500 free sittings. A charity school, for
the gratuitous instruction of nine poor children, is in the hamlet of
Whittle, and there is an allotment of
land for the support of
another school. The name of New Mills does not appear in the.
parliamentary population returns. It was originally known as
Bowden-Middle-Call, comprising seven hamlets : about a century
ago it was subdivided, three of the hamlets remaining attached to
Hayfield, and the other four, Beard, Olerset, Whittle and Thornsett,
being formed into a township. A new mill was then erected for the use
of the inhabitants of these hamlets, upon the river Kinder, and the
name of New Mills was, in consequence, conferred on the four
before-mentioned hamlets - which, by the returns for 1831, contained,
together, 3,538 inhabitants.
Disley, or Distley,
anciently spelt Dystelegh-Stanlegh, is a village and chapelry,
in the hundred of Macclesfield and parish of Stockport, about six
miles s. e. of the latter town. In the time of Edward I. Disley was
held by Jordan de Dystelegh, and a hamlet on the north side, by Grym
de Stanlegh ; hence the compound modern appellation of
Disley-Stanley. The situation of the village is very pleasant, on the
immediate borders of Derbyshire, upon the high road to Sheffield : a
respectable, convenient inn and posting- house, the Ram's Head, is in
the village. St. Mary’s chapel here was rebuilt in 1558; it
consists of a nave and chancel, with a stone tower, containing a ling
of six bells; the chancel and vestry are of brick : in the chancel
window are some beautiful specimens of heraldic stained glass : the
curate is the Rev. William Greswell. Several cotton spinning and
printing works are in the neighbourhood. Lyme hall, the seat of
Thomas Leigh, Esq. is in this chapelry. In 1821, Disley contained
1,533 inhabitants, and by the last returns, made in the year 1831,
the number had increased to 2,037.
