Hamnett wrote extensively about Joseph Fielding:
Rolfe's Mill was tenanted by John Shepley, Samuel Fielding and Joseph Fielding. The mill book contains the following entry on the first page: "January 1st, 1792. We John Shepley and Samuel Fielding and Joseph Fielding, do agree to put into trade upon a joint concern, for the use of making perpetual cotton rovings, a stock of £200. John Shepley takes one half, and Samuel and Joseph Fielding one half between them." The latest entry relating to the mill is March 1807. Mr. Joseph Fielding used the book afterwards as a school account book. He was a schoolmaster for many years after he gave up the cotton business. In 1820 John Wood of Woods Mill took a 15 years lease of a new piece of land for a garden/farm from Joseph Fielding, schoolmaster at at a rental of £20 per annum.
When the factory system got firmly established, the children of the cotton operatives were sent at an early age to the mill, and got little chance of obtaining learning; the farmers sons and daughters were, of course, more favourably situated, and private schools were run by men who had failed in other spheres of business. One of these was Joseph Fielding, who had been a partner with John Shepley and Samuel Fielding in "making Perpetual Cotton Rovings." He utilised one of the mill books as a school account book, and from it we get a very good idea of the difficulties he met with. He received payment in what he could get in kind where it was most convenient to pay him that way.
He opened school in 1808. On the 15th January, 1810, the parents who sent their child or children to him were; Robert Hall, William Chatterton, Joseph Hadfield, Benjamin Goodison, Christopher Hadfield, Jonathan Bowden, Charlotte Johnson (Charlotte, James and Alexander), Robert Sellars, James Wood, Aaron Howard, Ann Goodwin, Nelly Ridgway, Sarah Barber, Sarah Braddock, Joseph Hadfield, Ann Bowden, Robert Willis, John Bramhall, Hannah Pickford, Edward Pickford (of the Bull's Head), Catherine Hopwood, Ann Thorp, Thomas Barber, Martha Barber, Nancy Hall, Hannah Broadbent, Milly Hadfield, Betty Platt, Joseph Garlick, Sarah Garlick, John Hadfield, John Dewsnap (Nancy), Simion Dewsnap, Thomas Nield (of Chunal), James Lee, David Lee, Levi Lee, Sarah Harrison, Mary Robinson, John Shepley (of Glossop), Mary Sellars, Edward Lees, Catherine Taylor, Anthony Higginbottom, George Dewsnap, Jas. Shaw (Padfield).
Quite a school full considering the population. He apparently got them from Hadfield and the other Hamlets.
His charge was 3d., 4d., 5d., and 6d. per week; in winter time he charged each scholar 3d. towards the cost of coal. He took on any other work that he could get to augment his income. For instance, we find the following items:- Copying a will, 5s.; to a Militia list, 5s. 6d.; drawing up an advertisement, 1s.; writing out a freehold list, 1s.; mangling, 6s.1.5d. (he kept a mangle). He charged John Robinson, Glossop, 6.5d. for "mangling after your wife's funeral," etc. He was paid by milk and butter. 1s. 7d.; muffins 1s.; gin 1s. 4d.; sundries taken from the bar, £1 7s. 6d.; gin 2s. this he had at the Bull's Head. He never drew any money from Pickford's. He "supped" the school wages: Sash frame, 10s.; ale, 2s. 6d., at John Dewsnap's; seven loads of coal, 9s. 11d., from George Bowden; handkerchiefs off Joel Harrop, 15s. (he must have supplied the scholars with them); shoes mending, 3s.; 2.75 yards of velveteen, 9s. 10d.; chair, 2s. 6d.; 8 ozs. of tea, 4s. 6d.; 12 lbs. of beef, 4s. 6d., from Robinson at Pyegrove; 5.5 lbs. of pork, 3s. 8d.; 6 lbs. of bacon, 6s.; stone and lime, 28s.; 1.5 load of potatoes, 12s., from Widow Platt, of Dinting; pair of scissors, 9d. His spelling was below par.
It seems he was an Orangeman and owed 5s. 3d. arrears of subscription, which were paid for him by one of the members. 8 lbs. of mutton, 4s. 4d.; window tax, 3s. 3d.; 650 quills, 10s. 4d.; three grave stones, 45s., from George Bowden, of Heath; pair of stockings, 2s. 8d., from John Hadfield, hatter. He had a farm and land which he let out to several persons. One of his tenants rented a farm from him at £30 per annum, and did 40s. worth of ploughing for him, besides supplying him with meal and flour. Medicines, 20s., from Dr. John Bowden, known as the marine doctor, he having served in the marines, his children James and Maria were the scholars (1817); six herrings, 9d.; 2 dozen candles, 12s. 6d.; clothes 36s. 3d., from James Hall, tailor, for children John, Hannah, and George. He sold bibles, Testaments, almanacs, dictionaries, quills, paper, school books; in fact anything he could make a profit at. He was well known as a fortune teller. He died on the 24th August, 1849, at the age of 83.
