Bagshaw's Directory of Derbyshire 1846
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,

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 contains 104 houses and 532 inhabitants, of whom 302 were
males and 230 females. In the year 1360, this manor was conveyed by
Richard Foljambe and Robert de Holt to the abbey at Basingwerk.
Chunal, a hamlet and
small ancient romantic village in the manor of Glossop, on the road
to Hayfield, two miles S. from Glossop, contains 885 acres of land,

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 constablewick contains
1,701 acres of land, 303 houses, and 1,470 inhabitants, of whom 720
were males and 750 females. Rateable value £3,140. Population,
in 1801, 966; in 1831, 1,734. Compstall Bridge is a considerable
village on the Etherow, over which is a bridge, five miles S.W. from
Dinting railway station, five miles E. from Stockport, and twelve
from Manchester. Here, on the Cheshire side. is the extensive calico
printing establishment of Messrs George Andrews and Son, who employ
nearly 2,000 persons. Compstall Road, leading to the bridge, is a
populous district on the Derbyshire side. 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
Sheffield and Manchester Railway crosses the village. The Methodists
have a chapel erected in 1828, and the Independents one erected the
same year, with Sunday schools. Here are three factories. A few years

and small ancient irregular built village, occupied by small farmers,
on a declivity, 2 miles S.W, from Glossop; contains 989 acres of
land. 111 houses, and 592 inhabitants, of whom 306 were males, and
286 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
Vale and Littlemoor.
Green Vale connects itself with Howard Town on the road leading to
Woolleybridge. Littlemoor joins Howard Town, near the Market place on
the eastern side, and nearer to Whitfield is Charlestown. A handsome
district church to be dedicated to St. James, is now erecting at
Littletown, in the early English style, with nave, chancel, side
aisles, and transepts, a tower and spire 114 feet high, from designs
by E. H. Shellard, Esq., of Manchester; the interior including the
chancel, 82 feet 7 inches by 50 feet 8 inches: it will contain 1000

with an oriel window. It has also a north door; the approaches to the
galleries is by a geometrical stone staircase in the tower. The east
end gables are surmounted with octagon turrets and carved finials, it
is lighted by a triple window, and the other parts by double narrow
windows. The tower is mounted with pinnacles, and has a bell 450lbs.
weight and the spire with lucarnes, carved canopies and finial. 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. The Primitive Methodists have
one at Green Vale, erected in 1835, in which a day school of about 70
children is kept. The Independents have a large handsome chapel,
built in 1811, in which galleries were erected in 1832, at a cost of
£300; it was enlarged in 1845, at a cost of £1,000, and
contains sittings for 1,000 persons; the Rev. Thomas Atkin, pastor,
Sunday schools are connected with the various chapels. In connection
with the Independent chapel at Little Moor, is a day school conducted
on the British School system of education; 120 boys and girls attend.
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.

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

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.,

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

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

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.
John Wagstaffe
the elder, by indenture, 1718, for a nominal consideration, and for a
provision for the poor of the township of Glossop, with the hamlets,
granted to William Garlick and others, the churchwardens and
overseers of Glossop, and their successors, a yearly rent charge of
£3 clear of all taxes, issuing out of a messuage and lands in
Gladwick, in the parish of Oldham, and payable yearly on the feast of
St Martin, upon trust, to dispose of the same yearly amongst the poor
residing in the said township and hamlets. George Hadfield, Esq., of
Old Hall, Mottram, is the owner of the lands in Gladwick, and pays
the rent charge.
Donor unknown.
The churchwardens receive the yearly sum of £5 from Mr. John
Cheetham, of Gee Cross near Stockport, in respect of 11 acres of
land, part of an estate called Warneth, in the county of Chester,
which, we are informed, was reserved to the churchwardens on a lease
granted to John Hibbert for a term of 2,000 years, dated 1st
December, 1695; distributed on St Thomas's day.
John Wagstaffe,
junior, by will, in 1735, gave to the poor of Glossop a fee farm rent
of £3, then vested in Samuel Wagstaffe. This rent charge is
transmitted by the vicar of Mottram, to whom the estate belongs,
which is situate in Mottram, Longdendale, in the comity of Chester.
Thomas Hadfield
gave by will, in 1743, the sum of £60 to the poor of the parish
of Glossop, not receiving parish relief; secured on turnpike
security.
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.

Chapel-en-le-Frith to Enterclough bridge; and on the same security is
£27 lately bequeathed by Mrs Everett; making the total amount
£409.— £20 given by Charles Hadfield, and £25

the poor in the chapelry of Wormhill, 5s.; and for the encouragement
of serious preaching and prayers, at the discretion of his heirs, £1,
15s. 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.

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

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

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. The sum of £17
was laid out many years ago in the purchase of some land which forms
part of an estate called Ringstones, the property of the incumbent
for the time being. The sum of 5s. is laid out in the purchase of
bread, and distributed on Christmas-day.
Rev. Francis

distributed amongst the poor of the township of Mellor.
New Mills, an
ecclesiastical chapelry and township, which comprises the hamlets of
Beard, Ollersett, Thornsett, and Whitle, which extend nearly 4 miles

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.
Chairman of the
Board of Guardians, John White, Esq.
Clerk and
Superintendent Registrar, Mr Ebenezer Adamson.
Master and Matron,
John and Elizabeth Slater.
Schoolmistress,

Surgeon, Mr
Thomas Richard Jackson, New Milts.
Relieving Officer
and Registrar, Mr George Looms, Disley.
* According to Mr E.
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.
