from London, 3 from Glossop, 13 from Manchester, 28¼

from Derby, 10½
from Staleybridge, 18 from Stockport, 97 from Birmingham, 44 from
Liverpool, 80¾
from Wolverhampton, 27¼
from Ashton, and 66¼
from Stafford, in the Hundred of High Peak, parish of Glossop,
Hayfield Union, with a population of 1,714 in 1851, in the township,
and 2,945 in the ecclesiastical district. A new church, dedicated to
St. John, a handsome building in the early English style, was
consecrated in 1849, at a cost of £2,700, raised by
subscription. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the gift of the
Crown and Bishop of the diocese alternately; the Rev. Goodwin Purcell
is the present incumbent. The Duke of Norfolk is lord of the manor.
The Messrs. Booth have extensive premises, where they carry on the
trade of brass and iron founders, also machine makers, which give
employment to a number of hands. There is a cotton mill. A National
school, in connection with the Church, has recently been erected by
voluntary contributions, under almost overwhelming difficulties with
which the Rev. William Purcell had to contend. Here are chapels for
the Independents, Baptists, Wesleyans, and Primitive Methodists.
Simmondly is a
township, with a population of 676; Chisworth, a township, with a
population of 555.
