Entries for the area of the Ancient Parish of Glossop.


GLOSSOP

Glossop parish forms the north-east extremity of Derbyshire; the river Etherow separating it from Cheshire on the north and north-west, and has its rise in the Alpine ridges at the north-east extremity of the county, which is also the source of the river Mersey. The river Derwent has its rise at the north-east extremity also, where for some distance it is called the Wrongsley river, and separates this county and parish from Yorkshire, after which, entering the parish of Derwent, it takes that name; the water from the east side of Kinderscout flowing to it. The river Goyt, which rises from Axe Edge, near Buxton, bounds the south-west side of the parish; and near Marple bridge the Etherow has its confluence with the Goyt, and flows to Stockport The parish is about 16 miles in length, and averages upwards of 5 miles in breadth, and is intersected by the Sheffield and Manchester railway. It is one of the most romantic parishes in the county, particularly the wild mountainous district on its eastern side, of which a considerable portion is moorland. Its western side is a highly flourishing district, and by far the most important seat of the cotton manufacture in the county.

This extensive parish comprises the hamlets or townships of Glossop, Chinley, Bugsworth and Brownside, Chisworth, Chunal, Dinting, Hadfield, Hayfleld, Ludworth, Mellor, Hayfield and Simmondley and Whitfield; besides many other populous hamlets and villages. Hayfield, Mellor, and New Mills are chapelries, and a district church has lately been erected at Little Town, in Whitfield hamlet. The parish is returned as containing 49,960 acres of land, mostly pasture, except the east side, which is chiefly moorland; it abounds in clay, stone, slate, coal, and valuable waterfalls, which have for ages coursed their way through the deep dells, their solitude being but occasionally broken by the mountain shepherd; till the ingenious and enterprising capitalists perceived that wealth flowed from the mountain rills, which speedily caused the solitude to be peopled with a teeming population, engaged in the busy scenes of commercial enterprise. The population amounts to 22,898 souls; rateable value, £20,209; population in 1801, 8,873; in 1811, 10,797; in 1821, 13,766; and in 1831, 18,080; so that it appears, since 1801 to the present year, the population will have increased nearly three times over. Pilkington dates the rise of manufactures here to the year 1784, in which year the first cotton mill was erected. The large cotton factories and other extensive establishments will be noticed in the localities in which they are respectively situated. Before the introduction of the cotton manufacture, that of woollen had made considerable progress; and we find there were no less than seven factories and four fulling mills; only two very small woollen establishments remain, but the cotton factories are increasing and enlarging on all sides.

The manor of Glossop, which extends over Glossop and its seven hamlets of Glossop dale, viz., Charlesworth, Chunal, Dinting, Padfield, Simmondley and Whitfield, and Ludworth and Chisworth, belonged, as parcel of Logendale or Longdendale, to the crown, at Domesday survey. King Henry I. granted it, as a part of a still larger district of his domain of the Peak, to William Peverel, on the attainder of whose son it reverted to the crown. King Henry II. gave the manor of Glossop, with the church and its other appurtenances, in the year 1157, to the abbey of Basingwerk. King Henry VIII. gave this manor, in 1587, to George Earl of Shrewsbury. It now belongs to the Duke of Norfolk, as descended from one of the coheiresses of Gilbert Earl of Shrewsbury, who died 1610. This estate had been settled on a younger branch of the Howard family, and belonged to the late duke before his accession to the title.

Glossop township and market town, 9½ miles N. from Chapel-en-le-Frith, 14 miles E. from Manchester, 28 miles N.W. b. N. from Sheffield, and 60 miles N.N.W. from Derby, consists of Glossop, Howard Town, and Mill Town; situated in a beautifully romantic dale, surrounded by lofty hills. The old town is irregularly built, but many improvements have taken place within the last few years, by forming new roads and street, &c. Mill Town connects itself with Howard Town on the Sheffield road leading to Glossop, or Old Town, in contradistinction to New Town, or Howard Town, which forms the great focus of improvements, and is ¾ mile W. from Glossop. The township contains 4,816 acres of land, 796 houses, and 3,548 inhabitants, of whom 1,772 are males, and 1,776 females. Population in 1821, 1,351; is 1831, 2,012. The different hamlets or constablewicks in the manor of Glossop keep their poor conjointly and roads separately. The rateable land for the manor of Glossop, as stated in the parish books, is 20,807a. 12p, of which 19,642a. 1r. 9p. belongs to the Duke of Norfolk, the lord of the manor, and 1,164a. 3r. 3p. to other individuals. About 8,000 acres are moor land. The land is mostly pasture, and the farms generally small, let by the Duke on leases for fourteen years, at an average rental of about 15s. per acre. The land let for building purposes is on leases for a period of 99 years. A considerable portion of the Land in Glossop Dale is let as accommodation land to the tradesmen — His Grace being in every respect desirous to accommodate, improve, and encourage his tenantry, and to make Glossop a principal seat of the cotton manufacture. The direct line of railway communication with Liverpool, and the probability of that communication speedily extending between the eastern and western seas, in conjunction with its local advantages, and the low rental of land, render every prospect of its being able to compete with the great emporium of the cotton trade, or with any other of the towns in Lancashire or Cheshire.

The Church, dedicated to All Saints, is a vicarage valued in the king's books at £12 18s. 9d., now £300. It is situate at Glossop (Old), and has been augmented with £400 parliamentary grant; the Duke of Norfolk, patron and impropriator; and the Rev, Christopher Howe, incumbent. The church, a neat structure, with nave, chancel, side aisles, tower and spire, with six bells, was rebuilt, except the tower, and spire, in 1831, and enlarged by the addition of two galleries, at the cost of £2,000, by which 800 sittings were obtained, of which 206 are free and unappropriated. The incorporated society for the enlargement of churches and chapels, having granted £200 towards the expense, and the remainder was raised by subscription. The Duke, as impropriator, repaired the chancel, in which is a handsome monument for George Hadfield, Esq., of Mottram Old Hall, Cheshire, who died September 28th, 1831, aged 59. In the churchyard is a very ancient yew tree, and two sun dials. The Vicarage is a small house S.E. of the church. The tithe has not been commuted. The Duke does not collect any large tithe, and the small is paid to the vicar. In the village in an ancient cross. The feast is held about the middle of September, Glossop Hail, an ancient house, is the occasional residence of Michael Ellison, Esq, his grace's agent.

Howard Town, or New Glossop, ¾ mile W, from Glossop, forms the centre of the largest portion of the inhabitants of the township, and a focus for most of the other townships. It is sometimes called Glossop Dale, from its being situated in a fine valley, surrounded by bold mountains and romantic scenery, and presents one of the busiest scenes in the cotton trade that can well be conceived. Great improvements, by erecting new factories and the enlargement of old ones, have within a few years been made, and still greater are projected; so that prosperity seems for a long period promised the inhabitants. A market has been established under the powers of an act of parliament passed in the 7th year of the reign of Queen Victoria, by the lord of the manor, which was opened 19th July, 1848. The market, held on Saturday, progresses very well, and presents an animated appearance in the evening. A fair for cattle and merchandise is held on the 6th of May. A handsome Town-hall and Market-house have been erected in the Italian style, of which the first stone was laid 28th June, 1838, the coronation of Queen Victoria, and opened as above stated. A lock-up prison has been erected in connexion with the above, and at the west end an office tor the Duke's agent is to be erected, which, when complete, will present a noble range of building. Behind the Town-hall is a covered Market-house, with 28 shops for butchers, greengrocers, and other trades. The tower which crowns the Town-hall is provided with an excellent clock by Lomas, of Sheffield ; the whole enclosed by a low wall and palisading. The entire cost will have exceeded £10,000; executed under the superintendence of Messrs. Weightman and Hadfield, architects, Sheffield. The town is well and neatly built of stone, and the shops in general respectable; so that the place presents a thriving and handsome appearance.

The Roman Catholic Chapel, situated on an eminence overlooking the old village of Glossop, is a handsome structure of the Tuscan style. It was erected in 1836 by the late Duke of Norfolk, from a design by and under the direction of Messrs. Weightman and Hadfield, at a cost of £3,000. In the interior is a beautiful altar, the work of Mr George Eadon, of Sheffield ; an organ by Bishop, and an ancient picture of the crucifixion, a copy from the celebrated original at Antwerp. The chapel, together with the Royle house, the chaplain's residence, commands a beautiful prospect of the surrounding hills, forms a pleasing contrast with their romantic wildness, and reflects much credit on the taste as well as the generosity of the noble founder. In connexion with the above are two schools for boys and girls, each calculated to hold about 100; that for the girls was erected at the expense of Miss C. Ellison. The Rev. Theodore Fauvel is the priest. The Methodists have a handsome stone chapel at Howard Town, erected in 1845, at a cost of £600; and also one at Glossop, built in 1813, and enlarged in 1830; with a day school established in 1841, attended by about 120 boys and girls. There are Sunday schools in connexion with all the places of worship. The Association Methodists have a chapel in Hall street, between Glossop and Mill Town, built in 1836, and improved in 1845; cost £650, and will seat about 300.

Savings Bank, held in the Town Hall, was established 3rd April, 1844, under the patronage of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk. The balance owing to depositors on the 20th of November in that year amounted to £4,259 12s. 2d, of which sum 156 depositors had £2,978 11s. 3d.; 6 charitable institutions £249 13s. 11d., and 15 friendly societies £1,031 7s. The bank is open every Monday from eleven to one o'clock. Mr John des Jardins is secretary and actuary.

A Court of Requests, extending to debts of £15, of which the jurisdiction extends through the town and manor of Glossop, including the township and places of Glossop, Rose Green, Howard Town, Hadfield, Woolley Bridge, Brookfield, Padfield, Longdendale, Waterside, Whitfield, Littlemoor, Free Town, Green Vale, Wren nest, Charlestown, Chunal, Simmondley, Charlesworth, Gamesley, Dinting, Dinting Vale, Chisworth, Ludworth, Marple Bridge, and Compstal road, and the following townships and places in the parish of Glossop—viz. Longhurst Lane, Mellor, Mellor Moor and New Mills, Beard, Olersett, Thornsett, Whitle, Hayfield, Little Hayfield, Great Hamlet, Phoside, Kinder, and Rowarth. Parties liable to be sued in the court, are persons residing, trading, or dealing within the jurisdiction. Judge, Joseph St John Yates, Esq., barrister-at-law; clerk, Mr Edward William Thompson, solicitor, Mill Town. The jurisdiction of this court will probably be extended under the late act for the more easy and speedy recovery of small debts, to other places, and to debts of £20.

Gas Works were established under an Act of Parliament obtained during the session of 1845, the company to have a capital of £6,000, in shares of £10 each. The works are erecting at Howard Town; Mr William Wake of Sheffield is their clerk, and Mr James Ritchie, engineer; Mr George Tomlinson, manager. Conducted by a committee of six shareholders.

Petty Sessions are held in the town hall every fourth Thursday. Mr Edward William Thompson is clerk to the magistrates, and Mr William Bury Clayton, chief constable for the Glossop division of the High Peak Hundred, and superintendent of the lock-up prison. The other townships have each an assistant constable, chosen annually.
Railway.—The Sheffield and Manchester railway enters Derbyshire from Sheffield, from a tunnel three miles in length, about five miles N.E. b. N. from Glossop, and crosses the extreme north verge of the county, and of this parish, crossing the Etherow at Broadbottom, near Charlesworth, by a viaduct of three very large arches; about three miles S.W. b. W. from Glossop, it enters Cheshire; it crosses the Dinting Vale, about one mile W. from Howard Town, by a lofty viaduct of sixteen arches, constructed of timber and stone. Near the viaduct, and adjoining the road to Charlesworth, is Dinting railway station, one mile W. from Howard Town, and twelve miles from Manchester. From this point, a branch railway runs to Howard Town, where there is a convenient stone station, with warehouses and coal wharfs, which are supplied from Duckenfield and Dunkirk collieries.
Reservoir Company.—This company was formed in 1887, when a capital of upwards of £6,000 was subscribed for the forming reservoirs to supply, in dry seasons, mills, extending from Glossop to the river Tame, at Stockport, Only one reservoir has been constructed; it is situated between the hills, one mile S.E. from Glossop. Mr John des Jardins is clerk to the commissioners.

Trade.—Glossop has for many years had its full share of the spirit and extension of the cotton spinning and manufacture, there being in the manor of Glossop thirty-two establishments for spinning, doubling, and weaving of cotton, employing a steam and water power of upwards of 2,000 horses. There are extensive print-works in Dinting Vale, and others just within the county of Chester; besides which there are at New Mills, Mellor, and the district not within the manor of Glossop, about thirty different concerns for cotton spinning and manufacturing, with four extensive calico print-works, having an aggregate power of steam and water equal to about 800 horses, with every appearance of a rapid extension. A reference to the Directories of the districts will show the names of the parties and the situations of each. There are also three extensive paper, and two small woollen manufactures. The twist, or goods, are generally made for the Manchester market, which the proprietors regularly attend on Tuesday, where many of them have warehouses.

Charlesworth, a hamlet in Glossop township, and a considerable flourishing village, on the road to Marple Bridge, three miles S.W. from Glossop, formerly had a market and fair granted, in 1828, to the abbot of Basingwerk. It contains 1,450 acres of land, 269 houses, and 1,732 inhabitants, of whom 937 were males and 795 females; of this population, 105 were labourers, with their families, employed on the Sheffield and Manchester railway. The Independents have a chapel, rebuilt about sixty years ago, and enlarged in 1827, and a schoolroom, built in 1823. The Particular Baptists' chapel was built in 1835. The Methodists have a chapel and a day-school, and the Primitive Methodists a chapel, built in 1843, with a day-school in connexion with it. Sunday schools are attached to all the places of worship. There is a machine manufactory and brass foundry, with a cotton-band manufactory, besides other factories at the Coombs, Kinder Brook, and at Kinder Lee. Gamesly Upper and Lower, consists of a few farmers, half a mile N.W. from Charlesworth, extending to the Etherow, near which is Melandra Castle, a Roman camp. The Independents have had a congregation here from a very early period; and in 1716, Mr John Bennett left the interest of £20 for the benefit of the minister.

Chisworth, a hamlet and scattered village, four miles S.W. from Glossop, and in that manor, but forms a constablewick with Ludworth, contains 844 acres of land. The modern and busiest part is situated on the Marple Bridge road. Here is the Hole House mill for cotton spinning, a candle wick manufactory, and a colliery. A Methodist chapel was built in 1831. The Coombs, one mile S.W., consists of three farm houses. Moorside, half a mile N.W., and Sanderlane, half a mile N.W, from the Methodist chapel.

It consists of a few farms and one public house. The benevolent Joseph Haigh was born here, (see charities.) Gnat Hole, half a mile N., is a woollen manufactory, and a little nearer Glossop is the paper manufactory of Messrs Kershaw & Co.

Dinting, a hamlet and small scattered village, has 586 acres of land, is usually called Higher and Lower Dinting, and is situated near the Glossop railway branch, one mile W. from Glossop, on a fine eminence, which commands a rich view of the vale and the surrounding district. The principal part of the inhabitants are at Dinting Vale, a small village which connects itself with Green Vale at the Junction Inn. On entering this vale, the viaduct of sixteen arches, constructed of wood and stone, which crosses the valley and turnpike road, strikes the beholder with astonishment at the daring of the present generation. In the vale is Mr S. Oliver's writing paper manufactory, who also has a mill at Hollingworth, in Cheshire, for the manufacture of brown, marble, and glazed papers; also, in the vale, are the extensive calico print-works of Messrs Edmund Potter and Co, who, about six years ago, established a school, now attended by about sixty children. In connexion with the school they have also a reading-room for the workmen, which is open at noon, and every evening. Dinting or Glossop railway station, twelve miles from Manchester, is at a short distance from the viaduct, and near the road leading to Charlesworth; it is a convenient stone building. Messrs William Jackson and Sons have an office for the reception and transit of goods by railway to all parts.

Hadfield, a township and ancient village, two miles W.N.W. from Glossop, bounded on the north by the Etherow, contains 357 acres of land, 282 houses, and 1,499 inhabitants, of whom 735 were males and 764 females. The Sheffield and Manchester railway crosses the township a little south of the village. George Woodhead, Esq., of Mottram Old Hall, is an owner. There are no mills in the village, but a little to the west is Brookfield mill, with several rows of buildings. Woolley Bridge, a bridge over the Etherow, about one mile W. b. S. from Hadfield, at the junction of three roads, connecting Manchester, Stockport, and Yorkshire, with Glossop Dale. Here is an extensive factory, and at a short distance on the Cheshire side, is a calico print-work. At Hadfield Lodge is a factory, and one in Padfield. Waterside, a district and small village on a small brook near the Etherow, partly in Hadfield and partly in Padfield constablewicks. Here the Messrs Sidebottoms have an extensive factory, with a power of 220 horses, (steam and water,) and on the Chester side two other factories, having 115 horses' power. Some good stone cottages have been erected here by Mr William Bradbury, and the inhabitants are chiefly employed at the factories. A Primitive Methodist chapel was erected here in 1845.

Ludworth, a hamlet and small scattered village, which, with Chisworth, forms a township in Glossop parish, with which they keep their poor conjointly, and roads separate, five miles S.W. from Glossop.

The Primitive Methodists have a chapel, erected in 1835, also a day school, where about fifty boys and girls attend. Here, also, a lock-up prison was erected for Ludworth and Chisworth in 1830. Marple Bridge is a considerable village on the Etherow, three-quarters of a mile S. from Compstall road, in a very pleasant situation, and contains some good shops and inns. The Independents have a neat chapel, erected about sixty years ago, but the religious interest connected with it is of very early date, having its origin, no doubt, on the passing of the Act of Uniformity. Two old buildings were occupied by them previous to the present chapel. The Rev. Robert Kirkus is the pastor, who entered on his ministry in April, 1838, since which the whole premises have been greatly improved and enlarged, and new schools erected. The late Moses Hadfield, Esq., of Mottram, a zealous friend to the cause, bequeathed by his will, in the year 1844, the sum of £300, as an endowment on the chapel.

Padfield, a hamlet and village, pleasantly situated, overlooking the river Etherow, 1½ miles N.W. from Glossop, contains 643 acres of land, 284 houses, and 1,656 inhabitants, of whom 815 were males, and 841 females.

The Hall, a very ancient house, is the residence of Mrs. Sarah Taylor. Lees Hall, an ancient mansion on a fine eminence 1½ mile S.W, from Glossop, is the seat and property of Joseph Hadfield, Esq., whose family have for a long period resided here. In 1844, the Independents erected by subscription a handsome school. The inhabitants in this village connect themselves with Green Vale near the Junction inn, near which is Turnlee, Bridgefield, and Primrose Mills.

Whitfield, a hamlet and pleasant village, 1 mile S. from Glossop; forms a populous district enclosed under an act passed in 1810, and contains 1577 acres of land, 539 houses, and 3044 inhabitants, of whom 1496 were males, and 1548 females; in 1831 the population was 1734. The land is mostly freehold. The principal villages are Charlestown, Green

The estimated cost, £3,500, of which sum £1,000, was raised by subscription, and £2,500 by grants from various societies.
The manor of Whitfield was conveyed in £1330, by Thomas le Bagged to John Foljambe; it has long been held with the manor of Glossop.
The Wren Nest factory at Green Vale was erected in 1816, and is now under considerable enlargement. At Turnlee in Littlemore, Messrs. S. Kershaw & Co. have three extensive factories, and one at Chunall. Shepley factory is in Green lane. Cross cliffe factory is at Whitfield. The Methodists have a chapel at Whitfield.

For Glossop and Whitfield schools, see charities.

Charities.—Joseph Haigh or Hague, Esq., by indentures of lease and release dated 10th and 11th January, 1779, conveyed to John Hague and eight others, a building which he had lately erected on a plot of land at Whitfield, for a school, and for the residence of a schoolmaster for the instruction of poor children within the parish of Glossop; and also a messuage at Low Loughton, in Bowden Middlecale, in the parish of Glossop, with several fields containing in the whole 7a. 2r. 9p. Cheshire measure, upon trust that they should in the first place, pay all rates and taxes, and should pay the clear rents to the schoolmaster, who should be appointed and reside at the school to instruct all the children within the said parish, not being under four years of age, in reading, writing, and arithmetic and the church catechism. By a memorandum indorsed on the indenture, and signed by Mr Haigh, it is stated that on further consideration, he directed the master should be at liberty to receive the following payments,—for reading, 1d. A week; writing, 2d.; and arithmetic 3d. On the 28th May, 1724, John Harrison, the survivor of the original trustees, conveyed the premises to John White, and seven others, subject to the alteration with regard to the price paid by children as above. The school is open to all the parish on the terms proposed; about 120 attend. The master occupies a dwelling house with a garden adjoining, and the school room. The other premises consist of a dwelling house now let in two tenements, and about 17a. of land, statute measure, let for £32 per annum. The schoolmaster also receives £3 14s. 6d. per annum, as the dividends arising on £124 4s. 0d., three per cent, consols, being the produce of a legacy of £100 given by the will of the said Joseph Haigh, He also receives the sum of £1 5s. per annum, as the interest of one moiety of £50 given by Mary Doxon.
The above Joseph Haigh, Esq., who died in March, 1786, by will dated 21st November, 1782, gave to his executors, Thomas Everatt and three others, £1,000 upon trust, that the interest thereof should be annually laid out in clothing 12 poor men and 12 poor women in Glossop dale for ever. In 1845, 14 poor men and 16 poor women received a full dress each. £100 upon trust, that the interest should be paid to the schoolmaster at Whitfield; and £100 upon trust, the interest to be applied as follows,—one guinea to be paid the vicar of Glossop, for preaching a sermon annually on the 26th of August, and 5s. for the clerk, and the remainder towards repairing and keeping clean his vault at Glossop. He also gave to the trustees of the school at Hayfield, £105, the interest to be applied towards the education of 10 poor children, out of that chapelry, for ever. The above sums amounting to £1,627 6s. 4d. were laid out in the purchase of stock in the three per cent, consols, which now stands in the name of Thomas Wagstaff, of Highgate. Of the dividends amounting to £48 16s. 2d., £37 5s.4d. is paid to the Glossop dale clothing fund; £3 14s. 6d. to Whitfield school: £3 18s. 2d. to Hayfield school; £1 1s. to the vicar of Glossop ; 5s. to the clerk; and £2 12s. 2d. per annum forms a fund for the repairs of the testator's vault whenever it shall be required. A balance of £85 11s. 11d. applicable to this purpose, was in the hands of Mr Whitfield at the time of our enquiry.
Glossop School, an ancient school-house containing two rooms which has lately been enlarged for a Sunday school, the repairs of which have usually been paid out of the churchwardens' account, is endowed with £37 10s., placed out at interest on a turnpike security at 5 per cent. The Duke of Norfolk, who has a considerable estate in this parish, annually makes a voluntary donation for the support of the school, and is supposed to have the appointment of the master. No children are instructed free.
Joseph Haigh, Esq. In addition to the stock already mentioned, there is a sum of £248 8s. 10d. three per cent consolidated annuities, standing in the name of John Bowman and two others. It is observed that by a codicil annexed to his will, dated 7th October, 1783, he gave to the vicar of Glossop, £80 in trust, to be distributed at his discretion amongst the poor and needy families in "the eight townships," intending probably the eight hamlets which comprise the township of Glossop. He also gave the sum of £80 to be in like manner disposed of in the chapelry of Hayfield; and there is a sum of £124 4s. 5d. three per cent, consolidated bank annuities, now standing in the name of Robert Raine and two others, for the poor of that chapelry. Whether the interest on these legacies had been permitted to accumulate to purchase the above stock, or they were separate gifts, does not appear. £7 9s. the dividend of the stock in the name of John Bowman, is laid out in the purchase of linen cloth, and distributed in the winter.
William Garlick by will dated 25th July, 1686, gave to the poor of the township of Glossop, the sum of £5 yearly for ever, to he paid out of two closes called the Wash Meadows and the house standing thereupon, with one dole in another close called the Oak Rydeing, being in or near Bowden Head, in the parish of Chapel-en-le-Frith, and he directed that the churchwardens and overseers of the township of Glossop, and their successors, should receive the yearly sum, and distribute the same to the poor of the township with all the hamlets, on the 20th day of February; he also gave to the said poor, the sum of £80 to be bestowed in land for the use of the said poor, together with £20 secured by the bonds of Nicholas Gray, deceased. By an indenture dated 5th of December, 1689, it appears the premises at Bowden Head had been given up to the overseers and churchwardens of Glossop, but on what terms does not appear, but probably, as there is no account in what manner the legacy of £100 was disposed of; that estate was given up in consideration of the legacy. The estate contains 11a. 2r. 24p. let for £20 a year which is distributed on St Thomas' day to the poor.
Martha Wagstaffe by will, in 1689, gave to the poor of Glossop a rent charge of £2 per annum, vested in the churchwardens and overseers. The rent charge is paid from two fields in Holme, in the parish of Almondbury, in Yorkshire, the property of William Leach, of Ramsden near Holmfirth.

Charles Hadfield by his will, in 1795, gave £20 for the same purpose, placed on turnpike security.
John Bennitt by will, dated 29th February, 1716, gave to the poor within the township of Glossop, viz., to all above the Coombe's Brooke £50, to be paid to the churchwardens and overseers; the interest to be given at the same time as William Garlick's, He also gave £20 for the use of Charlesworth chapel, for the interest of the dissenting minister that preached there; and if no dissenting minister there, the said £20 should go in like manner as the above-named £50; he also gave £10 to Tinswell chapel, for the benefit of the dissenting minister there, but if no such minister, then the interest should go to the poor of the township of Glossop. Divine service is still performed at the above chapel, and that £50 is on turnpike security, and distributed on St Thomas's day.
Joseph Bray by will, 1793, gave the sum of £30, to be placed out at interest on sufficient security, the annual interest to be distributed with Garlick's charity, and appointed George Roberts and Henry Bray his executors. The churchwardens and overseers now act as trustees, the amount being vested in turnpike securities.
Sarah Bray by will, 1796, gave to the poor of this township the sum of £10, the interest to be distributed at the same time as her late brother's; this is vested as the above.
Mary Doxon by her will, 1815, bequeathed one-half of the yearly interest to arise in respect of the sum of £50 lent by her on mortgage of the tolls of the Marple and Glossop turnpike-roads, to the master of Whitfield School; and the other half to be divided with Garlick's charity; distributed on St Thomas's day.

The premises charged into this payment form part of the property of the Rev. William Bagshaw, in Wormhill. Nothing, for many years, had been paid to Glossop and Charlesworth, but Mr Bagshaw seems to have been ignorant of the charge, and, on seeing a copy of the donor's will, promised it should in future be paid. The sum of £1 15s. is paid to the minister of Chinley chapel.
Rev. Francis Gisborne's charity, (see Bradley.) The yearly sum of £5 10s, received by the incumbent, is laid out in the purchase of woollen cloth and flannel, which he distributes amongst the poor of the township.

GLOSSOP POOR-LAW UNION consists of the 10 hamlets and townships which comprise the manor of Glossop, for which 16 guardians are appointed, who meet every Friday fortnight, at 10 o'clock, at the workhouse, a substantial stone building a little N.E. from the church, in Glossop; it was erected in 1834, at a cost of £1,500, to accommodate 100 paupers. The average number of in-door paupers for the year ending March, 1845, was 46¼, the first quarter of the year being 60, and the last 38. The average weekly cost of each, for the year, was 2s, 2½. The average number receiving out-door relief was 296¼, of whom 395 were relieved in the first quarter, and 248 in the last quarter of the year—the total sum expended during the year being £1,790 4s, 11½d. The places are Charlesworth, Chisworth, Chunall, Dinting, Glossop, Hadfield, Ludworth, Padfield, Simmondley, and Whitfield.
Chairman to the Board of Guardians, George Platt, Esq.

Surgeon, Mr William Howard.

Hayfield, a township, village, and chapelry in the King's Field, 5 miles S. from Glossop, and the same distance N. from Chapel-en-le-Frith, and 18 miles from Manchester, contains 7802 acres of land, 410 houses, and 1,715 inhabitants, of whom 808 were males and 847 females. Rateable value £4,753, of which £996 is for houses. The chapel, which is parochial, is situated in the centre of the village, and is a perpetual curacy, valued in the King's book at £6, now £96; it has been augmented with £600 benefactions, £600 Queen Anne's bounty, and £500 parliamentary grant. The resident freeholders are patrons. Rev. Samuel Wasse, M.A., incumbent, who resides at the parsonage, east of the chapel. The church was rebuilt, except the tower, by the inhabitants, unassisted by any public grant, in 1819, at a cost of £2,000; it is in the modem Gothic style, and has a peal of six bells. The chapelry, until very recently, consisted of Great Hamlet, Phoside, Kinder, Beard, Ollersett, Thornsett, Chinley, Bugsworth, and Brownside; of these, Beard, Ollersett, and Thornsett, now form a new district, with the church at New Mills. In the church is a handsome monument to Joseph Haigh, Esq., with a bust, (by Bacon,) erected at a cost of £420. He was born at Chunall, in 1695 ; he commenced life very poor, and sold a few small articles from a basket, then bought an ass, after which he went to London, and became an opulent merchant. He had ten sons and two daughters, who all died in their minority. After the loss of his children, he adopted a family of the name of Doxon, of Padfield, to whom he gave education and fortunes. He passed the latter part of his life in retirement at Park Hall, in Hayfield, where he died 12th March, 1786, and was buried at Glossop, where the beautiful monument in Hayfield church was originally erected. The monument was taken down during some alterations in Glossop church, and thrown into a lumber room in the lock-up, where it remained for a considerable period; and it appears, neither the exquisite beauty of the workmanship, nor the munificent charities of the individual whose memory it was intended to perpetuate, were sufficient inducements to the inhabitants of Glossop to replace it in its original position. It was, however, rescued from untimely destruction by John White, Esq., of Park Hall, and is now deservedly the pride of Hayfield, and chief ornament in the church. The village school, a good substantial building, was erected in 1830, at a cost of £550, and here are three Sunday schools. A Methodist chapel was erected in 1779, and rebuilt in 1840, at a cost of £400, raised by subscription, aided by a centenary grant of £150. A Sunday school was built in 1816, which cost £700. The Association Methodists have a neat chapel. The fair, held May 12th, for horses and cattle, is very large. One, held July 23rd, for sheep and cattle, is discontinued. By an ancient custom, Hayfield has a mayor. The late John Hobson, Esq., filled the office thirty years. Joseph Bowden, Esq., was elected to the office in January, 1844, when a grand dinner was given in honour of his inauguration. Park Halt, 1 mile N. from the village, is the seat of John White, Esq., who, with John and Thomas Marriott, and John and Thomas Slack, Esqrs., are the principal owners. Petty sessions are held at the court-house, Hayfield, every fourth Thursday. At Bank Vale, Mr Robert Slack has two extensive paper mills. Clough Mill is a cotton factory; Ned Mill, a cotton cord manufactory; Walk Mill, a woollen manufactory; Wood Mill, the extensive calico print-works of Messrs Taylor and Lucas, who have about 150 horses' power of water and steam. Hayfield enjoys great facilities for manufacturing, being situated on a good main road, 18 miles from Manchester, having plenty of coal and water. The scenery on Bank Vale is beautiful, and presents a striking contrast to the moors N.E. of the village. A mason, who lettered a grave-stone in the churchyard in the year 1759, for Martha Cundy, aged 41, made it 401; a wag wrote underneath “Martha Candy's dead and gone, Her age is just four hundred and one”, after which the mason took his mallet and chisel, and erased the cypher. Great Hamlet consists of the principal portion of Hayfield village, of which ½ mile N. is Little Hayfield, which, together, contained 929 inhabitants. Kinder hamlet contains 130 inhabitants, and consists of some farm and cottage houses, situated in a pleasant vale, running from Hayfield, 1 mile E. Kinder Scout, 3 miles N.E. from Hayfield, is said to be the highest hill is the county, and on which is a military camp. In the population returns for 1841, one soldier is returned for this camp. Phoside, or Foreside, hamlet, contains 656 inhabitants; it forms the south side of Hayfield, with various scattered farms in that direction.
Chinley, Bugsworth, and Brownside, form a joint township in Hayfield chapelry, and contain 3,707 acres of land, of which 98 acres are roads and waste, 215 houses, and 996 inhabitants, of whom 523 were males and 473 females. Population, in 1801, 738; in 1831, 993. Rateable value £2,370. The Duke of Devonshire is lessee of the manor under the crown. Chinley, 2½ miles N. b. W. from Chapel-en-le-Frith, is an extra parochial liberty and small village, which maintains its own roads. It was originally in the King's Field. James I, sold it, with part of Sherwood Forest, for £2,000, to two persons of the name of Badby and Weltden, on condition of paying a chief rent of £12, which is now paid to her Majesty. The tithes for the township were commuted in 1842—the corn for £63, which is paid to John William Wake and James Sorby, Esqrs.; £22 10s. is paid for small tithe, of which one half is paid to the Duke of Norfolk, and the other half to the vicar of Glossop. At Chinley, an Independent chapel was erected by subscription in 1711, at a cost of £115 10s., besides work done gratis. In 1794, a house was erected for the minister, at a cost of £300. The Rev. Ebenezer Glossop is the pastor; and since his induction, £400 has been expended in repairing the chapel. This chapel was erected for a congregation originally under the ministry of the Rev. William Bagshaw, usually called the Apostle of the Peak, who was ejected by the Act of Uniformity from the vicarage, in 1662, where he had preached 10 years, and who afterwards established a congregation at Malcoff, near Ford Hall, 2 miles N. from Chapel-en-le-Frith. Dr Clegg succeeded the Rev. W. Bagshaw, during whose ministry the congregation removed to the present chapel. The principal owners in this township are John Lingard, Thomas Barnes, William Drink water, James Braddock, Godfrey Webster, William Taylor, and Thomas Drinkwater. In 1834, Chinley school, at the New Smithy, was rebuilt, at a cost of £87, towards which a grant of £40 was obtained. At Bridgeholme Green there is a cotton wadding manufactory, near which is a public tea garden.

Bugsworth, a hamlet and joint township, which keeps its own roads, 3 miles W. from Chapel-en-le-Frith. The Peak Forest canal has a wharf here, and a branch canal to Whaley, where the Cromford and High Peak railway terminates; Mr John Potts, agent a railway from Peak Forest brings stone to the two lime-kilns in this township. Here are also two collieries and a cotton factory, A school was erected in 1826, which is also licensed as a dissenting place of worship. The canal wharf is the centre of traffic for the township.

Brownside, a hamlet which keeps its own roads, and joint township with Chinley and Bugsworth, 2 miles N.N.E. from Chapel-en-le-Frith, consists of scattered houses.

Mellor, a township, chapelry, and small village, on the Hayfield and Stockport road, 7 mites S.W. from Glossop, 7 miles E. by S. Stockport, and 3 miles S. W. by S. from Dinting Railway Station; the principal part of the population being at Mellor Moor End. The township contains 2,500 acres of land, of which a considerable portion is moorland; 433 houses, and 2,015 inhabitants — of whom 1,002 were males, and 1,013 females. Population in 1801, 1,670; in 1831, 2,059. Rateable value, £3,565. Thomas Moult, Esq., is lord of the manor, and with John Moult, Peter Arkwright, Jonathan Jowett, and Thomas Fearn, Esqrs., with many others, are freeholders. The chapel, dedicated to St Thomas, is a perpetual curacy, rated at £8, now £136, has been augmented with £400 benefactions, and £600 Queen Anne's bounty. John Thornton, Esq., of Clapham, Surrey, patron. Rev. Matthew Freeman, incumbent. The church, on an eminence north from the main road, will seat about 700 persons, was built in the reign of King Stephen; the chancel was rebuilt by the inhabitants, in 1824, and the other parts restored, in 1829, by a rate, and the ancient pulpit, carved from an oak tree, removed. In 1821, a Sunday school was erected by subscription. The chapelry now contains the townships of Mellor and Ludworth, a portion having been taken to form the district of New Mills. The Primitive Methodists have a chapel, erected in 1827, at a cost of £450; and the Association Methodists one, built, 1844, at a cost of £550. A School, near the church, was endowed by Thomas Walklate with £25 per annum, of which £20 is paid to the master.—(See Charities.) About 60 boys and girls attend, and are educated at a small charge. Mellor Hall, a mansion 200 years old, was anciently the seat of the Mellor family, and afterwards of the Radcliffes; it was purchased in 1686, by James Chetham, Esq., and sold by Thomas Chetham, Esq., about 1797, to Mr Ralph Bridge; part of the land has been purchased with Queen Anne's bounty, to augment the living, and the Hall is now the seat and property of Thomas and John Moult, Esqrs. This forms a busy district, having six cotton mills, employing steam and water power equal to about 280 horses, viz.—Bridget, Damstead, Dove Bank, Goyt, and Mill Clough mills. The late Samuel Oldknow, whose untiring exertions in this neighbourhood changed the appearance of the country, designed and erected the mill near the Goyt, in 1792, 2 miles S.W. from Mellor church, with a water power of 120 horses; about 400 persons are employed at it in spinning cotton. It is very pleasantly situated, and is now the property of Peter Arkwright, Esq., and occupied by John Clayton and Co. Jonathan Jowett, Esq., has a colliery here. In the chapel and chapel-yard are recorded several instances of longevity, viz.—Rebecca Higenbotton, died 1758, aged 99; Sarah Cooper, died 1779, aged 97 ; Mary Beard, died 1797, aged 101; Betty Fearnley, died 1799, aged 94. Feast, first Sunday after St James's.
Charities.—Mellor School.—By indenture, 1639, Thomas Bocking, in consideration of £160 paid by Edward Walklate, in discharge of a legacy given by the will of Thomas Walklate, towards the maintenance of a free school at the chapelry of Mellor, and £20 paid by other inhabitants of the chapelry, for the further maintenance of the said school, granted and enfeoffed to Edward Walklate and seven others, and their heirs, several closes of land, situate in Offerton, upon trust, to pay and apply the rents thereof for the erection, maintenance and upholding a free grammar school, at Mellor chapel, for the education of children of that chapelry. The property consists of a farm in Offerton, in the parish of Hope, called Glover's barn, and nine fields, containing 23 acres, with a right of common for sheep on some unenclosed land, let for £25 a year, but was at the time of our inquiry estimated at £30 a year, provided, the house was put in repair. The school, built soon after the foundation of the charity, in the chapel-yard, was rebuilt about 1811. All the children of the chapelry are admitted on the payment of a small sum weekly as fixed by the trustees.
Mary Chatterton, in 1760, gave £12 to the curacy of Mellor, the interest thereof to be annually paid for preaching a sermon on Christmas-day; and she also gave £5, the interest to be given in bread by the minister and churchwardens, on the same day to poor persons.

Mr Wake, James Sorby, William Calrow, and William Taylor, Esqrs., and the vicar of Glossop, receive the small tithes. The principal owners are William Henry Frederick Cavendish, James Ingham, and John Wood, Esqrs. The soil is various; some small plantations, in different districts, add to the picturesque scenery of this neighbourhood. The Catholic Church of the Annunciation, just completed, is a handsome structure in the decorated style of English architecture, and a perfect revival of an ancient parish church. It consists of nave, side aisles, south porch, sacristy, and tower and spire 110 feet high. The low massive pillars of the nave, with the deep solemn chancel, have a very striking effect The east window is richly decorated with stained glass; the centre light has a beautiful representation of the annunciation, whilst the figures of St John and St Joseph ornament the side lights. These elegant decorations have been executed by Wailes of Newcastle. The altar, font, and tabernacle are richly painted and gilt after the ancient manner. A capacious font of stone stands at the west end of the south aisle, and a beautiful stone image of the Blessed Virgin is placed in a niche over the west door. The cost of the edifice was £4,000, chiefly raised by the unwearied exertions of the Rev. John Joseph Collins, the priest. Messrs. Weightman and Hadfield, of Sheffield, were the architects.
A Methodist chapel was erected in 1810, to which a day and Sunday school was added in 1844; the day school, taught on the Glasgow training system, was opened September 29th, 1845. The Association Methodists have a chapel, erected in 1838, which, with four cottages, cost £700; and the Primitive Methodists have one, built in 1827, at a cost of £500; all of which are stone buildings and have Sunday schools. The New Mills branch of a London circulating library was established in 1845, at Mr Robert Collier's, bookseller, Market-street. Subscribers paying £1 1s. per year, are entitled to order for perusal 10 to 15 volumes of new books annually; those paying 10s. 6d. a year have not the privilege of ordering books, but are entitled to the use of all the books procured for the first class, for whom about 250 volumes are now provided. Gas Works were established a few years ago, near the river Goyt, by act of parliament, and the proprietors are empowered to carry the gas to Hayfield. The works are in Derbyshire, but near Grove Mill, which is Cheshire. Rowarth is a scattered village in Thornsett hamlet, from which it is 1½ mile N., and 4 miles S.W. from Glossop. It is pleasantly situated and, besides some farm-houses, contains Ringstones bleach works, two cotton mills, and two mills not occupied. The Association Methodists have a Sunday school, which is also used as a preaching room. New Mills is altogether a busy district, having four calico print works, of which part are on the Cheshire side of the river Goyt, which divides the counties; 8 cotton spinners and manufacturers, 4 candlewick manufacturers, and 2 dyers' establishments, viz., Grove Mill, Rock Mill, Strine's Works, Torr and Torr top Mills are on the river Goyt; Beard Mill, Garrison-Side Works, London Place, Marsh Mill, and St George's Works, a calico printer's engraving establishment, are on the Kinder brook. The late Mr. John Potts, in 1821, first conceived the idea of adopting the method used by engravers in the Potteries, with a view of producing a more durable and brilliant effect. His experiment was crowned with complete success, and proved the origin of a style of engraving adopted by every calico printer, not only in Great Britain and Ireland, but throughout the whole of Europe and America; previous to which, calico printing was done from wood blocks laid on by hand; it is now performed from engravings on copper rollers, moved by steam or water power, the block being nearly superseded. Mr Potts had a picture gallery, which contained many fine specimens of rare and valuable paintings in oil and water colours, since disposed of. Mr Samuel Ready has succeeded to the engraving establishment, which is carried on with great success. The Kinder brook has its source from the western aide of Kinderscout, and its confluence with the river Goyt near the Torr, at Mellor's Mill.
The original name of New Mills was Bowden-Middle-Cale, situated along the north bank of the Goyt, and reaching from Kinderscout to Mellor. It formerly comprised seven hamlets ; but, about a century ago, it was subdivided; three of the hamlets remaining attached to Hayfield, and the other four formed into a township. Previous to this division, the inhabitants all ground their corn at a common mill in Hayfield; but, upon the division, a new mill was erected upon the Kinder, in the hamlet of Ollersett, and the name New Mills was in consequence conferred on the four hamlets. The village now forms a cluster of factories and houses, which rise one above another, from the bank of the river to the summit of the crags, a height of several hundred feet.

Hayfield Poor Law Union consists of seven townships, having seventeen guardians, who meet every Monday at ten o'clock, at the Workhouse, a substantial stone building erected in 1840 and 1841, at a cost of £2,700, to accommodate 166 inmates. It is situated in the hamlet of Ollersett, on a new road from Hayfield, which passes the church and joins the London road at the Swan inn, Disley. The places comprised in the Union are Beard, Ollersett, Whitle, and Thornsett, for which five guardians are elected; Hayfield, for which four guardians are elected, and Mellor, with four guardians. Disley township, with four guardians, is situated in Cheshire, The union contains a population of 1,611 souls, an area of 24 square miles, and 17,068 acres of land. Rateable value, £27,007, of which £21,342 is the value of land, and £5,665 that of houses. The average cost of in-door paupers per week, for the year 1844, was 2s. 1¾d.; the average number relieved per week being 72 ; the average number of out-door paupers, 382. The total expenditure for the year being £2,260 16s. 7d.

Adamson's tables of annual report, every 20s. called for by the guardians is expended in the following proportions:—Relief in money or in kind, 13s.; repayment of building loan, 1s. 8½d.; salaries of officers, 2s. 5d.; establishment charges, 1s.6d; interest on loan, 1s.0¼d.; registration account, 4¼d.

Charities.—Mary Trickett, by will dated 17th April, 1712, devised all her land in Rushop, in the parish of Chapel-en-le-Frith, to Mary Trickett and two others, and their heirs, the rents, to be employed by them yearly, for ever, for the use of the poor of Bowden Middlecale, for clothing or keeping of poor children to school. The property consists of a house, with a barn and outbuildings, a garden, and three closes, containing in the whole, with homestead, 16a. 3r.12p., situated at Bowden Edge, now let for £28 a year. Previous to May, 1823, it had been let on a long lease for £8 5s. per annum ; and £60 was paid for dilapidation of the buildings, which have been put in a complete state of repair, at an expense of £95, and some improvements are to be made. The rent was formerly paid in equal portions to the overseers of Chinley, Hayfield, and New Mills, and expended in cloth. For the last five or six years (1826) the amount of the rent subject to the repairs has been applied in instructing poor children of the above named places in reading and writing. It seems advisable that some steps should be taken for ascertaining who was the surviving trustee under the will of Mary Trickett, and procuring a conveyance from her heir to new trustees.
Thomas Moult bequeathed 10s. to be paid from his estate, called Whicken, in Chinley, to a schoolmaster or mistress teaching at Chinley school. Mr John Taylor, the owner of Whicken, pays the rent charge to the master.
George Green, of Fourlane Ends, by will, bequeathed 10s. a year to a schoolmaster at Chinley, teaching grammar. This has not, for many years, been paid, on the ground that it is not a grammar school. The date of the will is not known; we are unable to refer thereto.
Nicholas Lingard, as stated on a tablet in the schoolroom, bequeathed 5s. a year to a schoolmaster at Chinley school, to he paid from Estmeats estate, in Chinley, and likewise 5s. charged on the Dakins estate, provided it be freed from the office of overseer of the poor. The master is appointed by the principal inhabitants, and keeps a school in a room long used for that purpose, who receives the above small donations, and one-third of the clear rent of Trickett's charity, already mentioned, and for which last four are taught reading, writing, and accounts.
Thomas Harrison, by will, in 1706, gave to the poor of Chinley £10; also Sarah Carrington, by will, gave to the poor £5. Both sums were vested with the overseers, and, in 1754, were expended towards building a house for paupers belonging the township, and it was agreed, at a vestry meeting, that 13s. 6d. should be paid yearly out of the poor rates as interest for this sum. The interest is distributed to the poor on St Thomas's day.
Bernard Jenkinson, by will, 1786, bequeathed £100 stock, in the four per cent bank annuities, to the churchwardens and overseers of the poor of the parish of Glossop, in trust, to distribute the interest yearly amongst the poor of the hamlets of Brownside and Chinley.
The stock in the old four per cents, at the time of our inquiry, still stood in the name of Bernard Jenkinson. Some steps had been taken towards obtaining the money payable on the reduction of that stock, but it had not been received, in consequence of some difficulty in respect to the probate of the will. We have reason to hope no further delay will take place, and that the money will be reinvested. The dividends were distributed on St Thomas's day, in sums varying from 1s. to 3s.
John Hyde, by will dated 8th September, 1604, gave certain premises to the Merchant Tailors' Company, London, upon trust, amongst other things, to pay £10 yearly to the minister of the gospel at Hayfield, in Derbyshire, keeping a grammar school within the chapel. The sum of £10 is transmitted by the clerk of the said company to the incumbent.
Mary Gaskell charged upon her estate, called Barns' Fold, £3 18s., to be paid to the incumbent, as master of the grammar school. The estate is now the property of John White, Esq., of Park Hall.
John Hadfield left the use of £60 for ever to a licensed master for teaching petties, as well as others more proficient, at the chapel at Hayfleld. Thomas Marriott of Hayfield pays yearly £2 10s. as a rent charge on his estate at Shudehill.
Mary Trickett, (already noticed.) One third of the clear yearly rents is paid to the master of this school.
Haigh's Gift, (already noticed.) The yearly sum of £3 18s. 2d. is paid to the master of this school for the education of ten children.
On account of the income derived from the above donations, a school is taught in an ancient building in Hayfield, called the Grammar Schoolhouse. Fifteen children are taught reading, writing, and accounts, without any charge—four in respect of Trickett's, and eleven of Hague's charity. At the time of our enquiry about sixty attended.
John Haigh, Esq., by will dated 19th February 1781, bequeathed to Dorothy Hague and five others, and their executors, the sum of £100, upon trust, to apply the yearly produce thereof to the schoolmaster of a certain school in Hayfield, called Hayfield School, who should instruct eight poor children in the said school gratis. We are informed this legacy was charged upon an estate called Barnes' Fold, near Hayfield, which was purchased by Mrs Dorothy Haigh, and that, by her will, she directed that the yearly payment thereout should be increased to £16. This sum is paid by John White, Esq., the owner, to Mrs Raine, who keeps the school referred to. In respect of this payment she teaches eight children.
Joseph Haigh, Esq. (See Glossop.) The yearly sum of £3 14s. 6d. for this township is laid out in linen cloth, and distributed to the poor, by the incumbent, in winter.
John Bennett by will, 1731, gave to his cousin, John Bennett, all his estates at Smithfield, on condition that he should pay to the churchwardens, yearly, the sum of 40s. on every 12th day of December, for the use of the poor of Great Hamlet, Phoside, and Kinder, to he distributed on Christmas day for ever. The estate belongs to John White, Esq., of Park Hall, by whom the 40s. is paid to the chapelwardens, and distributed as above,
Edward Bennett by will directed his executors to pay and apply the yearly interest of the sum of £60, owing to him on the Hayfield turnpike road, yearly, for ever, amongst poor persons of the hamlets of Great Hamlet, Phoside, and Kinder. He also directed his executors, after the death of his wife, to place and keep at interest, on good security, a sufficient sum of money out of his personal estate, as would produce a clear yearly sum of £7, and pay and apply the same amongst such poor persons of the above-named hamlets. The widow of the testator died in 1824, and means were about to be taken to secure a sum sufficient to produce the yearly sum of £7, at 4½ per cent, when the whole will be distributed as above by Mr Gee, the executor.
Fanny Marriott, who died February, 1821, bequeathed £50 to her executors, John Lingard and Ebenezer Glossop, on trust, to divide the interest thereof yearly on the 25th of December, amongst the poor of Great Hamlet, Phoside, and Kinder. John Lingard, Esq., in whose hands the legacy is left, pays £2 5s. as the interest, which is distributed in sums of 5s.
John Baddeley Radcliffes charity. (See Chapel-en-le-Frith.) The sum of £2 13s. 4d. is distributed annually to the poor of this township.
Rev. Francis Gisborne's charity. (See Bradley.) The annual sum of £5 10s., received by the incumbent, is laid out in the purchase of flannel and coarse woollen cloth, and distributed amongst the poor of this township.
