Pigot's Directory of Derbyshire 1842
Entries for the area of the Ancient Parish of Glossop.
GLOSSOP,
WITH THE TOWNSHIPS OF
WHITFIELD, HADFIELD, AND PADFIELD, THE HAMLETS OF CHARLESWORTH,
HOWARD’S TOWN AND NEIGHBOURHOODS,
Glossop is a village,
township and parish, 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; situated a short distance from the Manchester and
Sheffield railway. This line, now in active progress, is expected to
be opened to Glossop (which will then be a station,) towards the end
of the present year (1842), or early in the succeeding one. This
village, which is populous, and of great manufacturing consequence,
is situated 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 numerous 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. Coal is obtained from mines about
three miles hence, and from these Glossop and the adjacent country
are principally supplied. 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 40s.; and it is a polling
station at the election of members to represent the northern division
of the shire.
The parish church of
All Saints is an ancient edifice; the body has been rebuilt, and
public worship was performed in it, for the first time after the
completion of the repairs, in September, 1832. The benefice is a
discharged vicarage, in the presentation 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 £1,000. 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. His Grace has erected here, at his own
expense, a Roman catholic chapel - a neat edifice, in the Tuscan
order, capable of seating six hundred persons, On Wednesday, the 30th
July, 1834, the neighbourhood of Glossop was visited by a tremendous
tempest: the village appeared, at one time, to be enveloped in a
continuous blaze of lightning, while the thunder, pealing amongst the
hills, was unusually loud and terrific, and the rain and hail poured
down in such quantities as to cause an overwhelming flood, which
swept down the valley with impetuous force, carrying devastation, and
striking with dismay the inhabitants. Several mills received great
injury; and two young women and a child, belonging to one of these
works, perished in the flood. Extensive damage was done to the
fields, gardens, fences, roads, and bridges, of which last four were
entirely destroyed. A fair, for cattle and various commodities, is
held on the 6th of May. The parish of Glossop contained, in 1831,
13,766 inhabitants, and by the late census (June, 1841,) 14,575—of
which last number 3,547 were returned for the township.
Whitfield, one mile and
a half from GIossop—and Hadfield and Padfield, two miles
distant, are townships in the parish of Glossop; all interested, more
or less, in the manufactures of that parish. At Whitfield is a
charity school, founded by the late Mr. Joseph Hague, before
mentioned. Population of these townships in 1841- Whitfield, 3,044;
Hadfield, 1,499; Padfield, l,656.
Charlesworth, three
miles from Glossop - and Howard’s Town, one mile distant, are
hamlets in Glossop parish. At the latter (once known by the name of
Bridge-End,) are two good inns; and at Charlesworth is a chapel for
independents. Population of that hamlet, 1,731; the inhabitants of
Howard’s Town are returned with Glossop.

HAYFIELD AND
NEIGHBOURHOOD.
Hayfield, an
independent chapelry, generally included in the parish of Glossop, is
five 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, one for woollen goods, and
works for calico printing. A meeting of the county magistrates is
held here monthly, on Thursday.
The church, a handsome
modern edifice, rebuilt by the inhabitants in 1818, is very much
admired for its neatness. The living is a perpetual curacy; the
resident freeholders hare 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. The
Methodists have a chapel here, with a Sunday school; and there 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 are taught by Mr. Isaac Brunt. About a mile from
Hayfield, on the Glossop road, is Park Hall, the beautiful seat of
John White, Esq. a magistrate for the county of Derby. A fair for
cattle is held here on the 12th May. The chapelry of Hayfield
contained, at the late census (1841) 3,637 inhabitants; and the
township 1,715 of that number.

MELLOR,
WITH MARPLE, MARPLE
BRIDGE, COMPSTALL BRIDGE, ROMILY AND NEIGHBOURHOODS.
Mellor is a chapelry in
the parish of Glossop, and hundred of High Peak ; 6½ miles s.
w. from the village of Glossop, 8 n.n.w. from Chapel-en-le-Frith, 7
e. from Stockport, and 14 s.e. from Manchester. The cotton
manufacture employs many inhabitants of this chapelry; one
establishment in particular, the Messrs. Wallers’, is very
extensive. At a short distance from the village is the church (or
chapel) of Saint James, a neat stone structure; the living, a curacy,
is enjoyed by the Rev. Matthew Freeman. The Wesleyan and primitive
Methodists have each a place of worship here. The population of this
chapelry has been decreasing for several years: in 1821 it contained
2,099 inhabitants - in 1831, 2,059 - and, in 1841, 2,015.
Marple, and Marple
Bridge, commonly called Upper and Nether Marple (Nether Marple, or
Marple Bridge being in the county of Derby,) form a chapelry in the
parish of Stockport, about five miles E. s.e. from that town. 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. Wyberslegh Hall,
now a farm house, is notable as the birth-place of Jonn Bradshaw, who
was president of the high court of justice that sentenced Charles I
to the scaffold. In the register 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. 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 with
regard to property, brought about at the restoration, prevented this
provision from being available; Henry Bradshaw, however, who survived
his brother, 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 situated on
the rise of a hill above the Goyt, and is, as well as Wyberslegh
Hall, the property of the Isherwood family, descendants of president
Bradshaw. The chapel of ease, here, was some years since rebuilt of
stone, and the tower furnished with the old bells of Stockport
church; the living is a perpetual curacy, in the gift of the rector
of Stockport, and present incumbency of the Rev. Samuel Irton Fell.
There are chapels here for Wesleyan and primitive Methodists. The
chapelry contained, in 1831, 2,678 inhabitants, and, in 1841, 3,449.
Two miles from Marple,
in the parish of Stockport, is the village of Compstall Bridge, the
inhabitants of which are, for the most part, employed in the cotton
manufacture, and works for calico printing. The Wesleyan and
primitive Methodists have each a chapel here, which are the only
places of worship. Thirty or forty years ago Compstall consisted of
only a few straggling cottages; but since the establishment of the
cotton manufacture it has been gradually increasing - its population,
now, amounts to nearly if not fully 2,000.
Romily is a township,
also in the parish of Stockport, from which it is distant about four
miles ; situated on the hills bordering on the county of Derby.
Chadkirk chapel is in this township, nearly opposite to Marple Hall;
and there are places of worship for independents and Wesleyan
Methodists; the benefice of Romily, or Chadkirk, is a perpetual

NEW MILLS, DISLEY AND
NEIGHBOURHOODS.
Mew MILLS is an
extensive hamlet in the parish of Glossop, in the hundred of High
Peak ; 14 miles s.e. from Manchester, 6 n.w. from Chapel-en-le-Frith,
and 8 s.e. from Stockport; pleasantly situated on the confines of
Derbyshire and Cheshire. This is a place of modern date, having
within a comparatively few years risen to importance in the
manufacturing district - cotton spinning being carried on here to a
considerable extent, affording employment to numerous persons. 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 in the vicinity. The village is
built chiefly upon a stone quarry, but the soil in many parts is
fertile, producing good crops of wheat and potatoes.
The places of worship
are a district church, erected some few years since; and chapels for
independents, primitive Methodists, and those of the old connexion.
The church, dedicated to Saint George, is a handsome stone edifice,
in the Gothic style; the cost of its erection amounted to about
£3,500, of which sum £2,500 were granted by the
parliamentary commissioners; and the ground for its site was given by
Lord George Cavendish. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the
patronage of the vicar of Glossop. 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. New Mills was originally known as Bowden-Middle-Call, and
comprised seven hamlets: about a century ago it was subdivided -
three of the hamlets were attached to Hayfield, and the other four,
Beard, Olerset, Whittle, and Thornsett, were formed into a township.
A new mill was then erected for the use of the inhabitants, upon the
river Kinder; and the name of New Mills was, in consequence,
conferred on the four before-mentioned hamlets. Fairs, for cattle,
are held May 11th and October 22nd. - In 1831 the population of the
hamlets comprised in New Mills was 3,538, and, in 1841, 3,591.
Disley, or Distley,
anciently spelt Dystelegh-Stanlegh, is a village and chapelry in the
hundred of Macclesfield and parish of Stockport (Cheshire), 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. Several
cotton spinning and printing works are in the neighbourhood. St.
Mary’s chapel here was rebuilt in 1558; it consists of a nave
and chancel, with a tower of stone, containing a ring of six bells;
the chancel and vestry are of brick : in the window of the former are
some beautiful specimens of heraldic stained glass. Lyme Hall, the
seat of Thomas Legh, Esq., is in this chapelry. Disley chapelry
contained, in 1831, 2,037 inhabitants, and, in 1841, 2,191,
