White's Directory of Derbyshire & Sheffield 1857
Entries for the area of the Ancient Parish of 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 16 miles in length, and averages 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 townships or hamlets of Glossop,
Chinley, Bugsworth and Brownside, Chisworth, Chunall, Dinting,
Hadfield, Hayfield, Ludworth, Mellor, Padfield, Simmondley and
Whitfield; besides many other populous hamlets and villages.
Hayfield, Mellor, and New Mills are chapelries, and a district church
has been erected at Little Moor, in Whitfield hamlet. The parish is
returned as containing 31876a. 1r. 30p. 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. In 1851, there were
5,559 houses, and 28,625 inhabitants, of whom 14,312 were males, and
14,313 females; rateable value, £60,942 19s. 3d. 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 one very small woollen establishment remains, 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, Chunall, Dinting, Padfield,
Simmondley and Whitfield, and Ludworth and Chisworth, belonged, as
parcel of Lagendale 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
1537, to George, Earl of Shrewsbury. It now belongs to Lord Edward
George Fitzalan Howard, youngest son of the late Duke of Norfolk, to
whom it had descended from one of the
co heiresses
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. Here are also many small
freeholders.
Glossop
is a small market town and township, 9 miles N. from
Chapel-en-le-Frith, 14 miles E. from Manchester, 24 miles N.W. by N. from Sheffield,
by turnpike road and 30 miles by rails, and 50 miles N.N.W. from
Derby. It 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 streets, &c.
Mill Town connects itself with Howard Town on the Sheffield road
leading to Glossop, or Old Town, in contradiction to New Town, or
Howard Town, which forms the great focus of improvements, and is ¾
mile W. from Glossop.
The township contains 4,820 acres of land, and in 1851 had 942
houses, and 5,167 inhabitants, of whom 2,713 were males
and 2,754 females; rateable value,
£10,057 3s.
6d. The different hamlets or townships in the manor of Glossop, keep
their poor conjointly and roads separately, and contains 11,303 acres
of lend, of the rateable value of £32,443 0s. 3d. Lord Edward
George Fitzalan Howard is lord of the manor and owner. Here are
upwards of 8,000 acres of moor
land.
The land is mostly pasture, and the farms generally small, let on
small leases at an average rental of about 30s. 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
Lordship 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 the 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 book at
£12
18s. 9d., now £303. It is situate at Glossop (Old), and has
been augmented with £400 parliamentary grant; the Earl of
Ellesmere, patron, and impropriator; and the Rev. Alexander Thos. C.
Manson, D.C.L., incumbent. The Church, a neat structure, with nave,
chancel, side aisles, tower, and spire with 8 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 late 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 1855, his Grace the late Duke of Norfolk rebuilt the tower and
spire to which the inhabitants added two new bells. The tower now
contains a fine peal of eight bells. The Vicarage, a handsome
Elizabethan mansion, a little south of the church, was erected by the
present incumbent, in 1850. In the village, is an ancient cross. Glossop
Hall, a
handsome stone mansion, recently erected on the site of the Old Hall,
is pleasantly situated a little N.E. of Old Glossop. It is the seat
and property of Lord Edward George Fitzalan Howard, who succeeded to
this estate on the death of his father the late Duke of Norfolk, in
1856.
Howard
Town or New Glossop,
¾ mile W. from Old 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
the last 20 years been made. A Market was established under the
powers of an act of parliament passed in the 7th year of the reign of
Queen Victoria, by the late lord of the manor, which was opened 19th
July, 1845. 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; and another was
established in 1854, which is held on the first Wednesday after the
10th of October. Feast, first Sunday after 13th of September. A
handsome Town-hall and Market-house was 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 was erected in connection with the above. It contains
4 cells which are warmed by hot water. Mr. William Hatton is the
superintendent, with four assistant constables. Behind the Town Hall
is a covered Market-house, with shops for butchers, greengrocers, and
other trades. The tower which crowns the Town Hall is provided with
an excellent clock, and the whole enclosed by a low wall and
palisading. The entire cost has exceeded £8,500, executed
under the superintendence of Messrs. Weightman and Hadfield,
architects, Sheffield.
In
1818, Howard Town contained only three houses, one a farm house
occupied by the Wagstaffs, the other the Howard Arms Inn, and the
last one was erected by Mr. Collier, father of the present Mr. Thomas
Collier. In 1825, the
late Mr. Wood, bought the Old Woollen mill, and in 1826, built six
houses on the site thereof, since which period its progress has been
very rapid, and it can now boast of many handsome houses, excellent
shops, and superior inns. The Temperance Hall, in Howard town, is a
neat stone building erected in 1850, by the Rechabite Club, at a cost
of £800. A Cemetery is about to be erected on or near the
Sheffield road, at the estimated cost of £6,000. There are to
be three chapels, one for the church, one for the Dissenters, and one
for the Catholics. The Odd Fellows, Foresters, Druids, and the
Freemasons, have lodges here and several other Friendly Societies.
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 £3000. 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
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. The Rev Theodore Fauvel is the
priest. In connexion with the above are schools for boys and girls.
The girls school is situated at Old Glossop; it was built by
subscription in 1844, at a cost of about £500; it will hold
about 400 children, and is under the care of the Sisters of Charity.
The boys school is situated in Talbot street, and was erected in
1852, at a cost of £1400; it is a handsome stone building, with
residence for the master, capable of accommodating 600 children; the
average attendance is 60. There is also a night school which is
attended by about 100 ; Mr. Wm. Hymers, master. 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. The Primitive
Methodists' is a handsome chapel, situated in Howard Town, erected in
1855.

in the Town Hall, was established 3rd Apl, 1844, under the patronage
of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk. The balance owing to depositors on
the 20th Nov., 1855, amounted to £13,981
17s 5d., of which sum 556 depositors had £13,319 3s, 8d.; 7
charitable institutions £195 0s. 3d., and two friendly

about £4000. Swineshaw
Reservoir, the
source from whence the town is supplied is situated about 1½
mile
from Howard Town, and is about 5 acres in extent. It is conveyed from
there in 7 inch mains, and one half of the town is already supplied
with that necessary and useful article at a very moderate cost;
besides which that portion of the hamlet of Whitfield called Little
Moor is also supplied, a boon which cannot be too highly prized by
the inhabitants, considering the great inconvenience they have at
various times suffered for the want of it. Indeed, the whole
neighbourhood has been greatly benefitted by its introduction into
the town; Mr. Chas. Jno. Hadfield, manager.
The
Grammar School, Old

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 £3710s.,
placed out at interest on a turnpike security at 5 per cent. The late
Duke of Norfolk, who had a considerable estate in this parish,
annually made a voluntary donation for the support of the school, and
is supposed to have the appointment of the master. No children were
instructed free. In 1852, His Grace the late Duke of Norfolk had the
old school taken down and the present handsome structure erected on
the site, at a cost of £2,000, and which he munificently
endowed with £4000, 3 per cent, consols. It is termed the
Grammar or Head school, and is capable of accommodating .550
children; the present attendance is above 400, viz., Upper school, 59
boys and 79 girls; Second school, 133 boys; Infants' school, 130. The

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 codocil annexed to his will, dated 7th of
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 £8 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 £6 yearly for ever, to be paid out of two

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's day to the poor.

preached there; and if no dissenting minister there, the said £20
should go in like manner as the above-named £50; he also gave

E. by S. from Manchester, contains 7,204 acres of land, and in 1851
had 397 houses, and 1,757

the principal owners are, John White, Esq., B. H. Bamford, Esq., Mr.
John Marriott, Executors of the late Mr. Thos. Marriott, Mr. John
Gee, and Executors of the late Peter Slack, Esq., besides several
smaller owners. The Church, dedicated to St. Matthew, is parochial,
and is situated in the centre of the village, 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, and the Rev. Wm. John Brock, B.A., incumbent. In 1819,
the church was rebuilt, except the tower, by the inhabitants,
unassisted by any public grant, at a cost of £2,000; it is in
the modern Gothic style, and has a peal of six bells, The
chapelry
formerly consisted of Great Hamlet, Phoeside, Kinder, Beard,
Ollerset, Thornsett, Chinley, Bugsworth, and Brownside; of these,
Beard, Ollersett, Thornsett, and Whittle, 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 in a
very humble sphere, and afterwards 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, ho 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 by the late Duke of Norfolk, and placed
in one of the cells of the Lock-up for security, but a person of the
name of "Marsden," who was confined in the adjoining cell
for a breach of the peace, (and who was, as it was afterwards shown,
insane,) during the night broke through the partition wall and
mutilated the tablet, but the bust which was carefully packed in
straw was preserved from injury. It was, however, rescued from
untimely destruction by John White, Esq., of Park Hall, and is now
deservedly the pride of Hayfield, and the chief ornament in the
church. The School, a good substantial building, was erected in 1830, at
a cost of £422,
raised by subscription; and here are three Sunday schools. The
Wesleyan and Association Methodists have each chapels here. A Library

two extensive paper mills, three cotton band, and three woollen
manufactories, and three calico print works. 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 Cundy'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

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.

Rachael
Stafford by
will bequeathed £30, the yearly interest thereof to be bestowed
in cloth towards apparalling the most necessitous. By indenture,
1793, this sum was vested on mortgage upon premises now the property

trustees, which is laid out in the purchase of linen and distributed
amongst the poor of the township of Mellor.
New
Mills,
near Stockport, an ecclesiastical chapelry and township, which
comprises the hamlets of Beard, Ollersett, and Whitle, extends nearly
four miles east, north, and south, from New
Mills; which
is a considerable village, near the river Goyt, on the Hayfield and
Stockport road, 2½ miles
S.W. from Hayfield, 43 N.W. from Derby, and 170 from London, and
together contains 4,890 acres of land, of which 400 acres are moor
land, soil various, but principally pasture,
and in 1851 had 935 houses and 4,366 inhabitants, of whom 2,230
were males and 2,136
females; rateable value £10,000. Beard hamlet,
extends south from New Mills, and contains 73 houses and 313
inhabitants, of whom 153 were males and 160 females. Ollersett hamlet,
extending E. from New Mills, 87 houses and 493 inhabitants, of whom
253 were males and 240 females. Thornsett hamlet,
extending N.E. from New Mills, 192 houses and 869 inhabitants, of
whom 474 were males and 395 females. Whittle hamlet
extends N. and N.W. from New Mills, and contains 583 houses and 2,691
inhabitants, of whom 1,350 were males and 1,341 females. The Queen,
in the rights of the Duchy of Lancaster is lady of the manor, and the
principal owners are W. T. Egerton Esq., M.P., W. G. Newton, J.
Jowett, J. Ingham, R. Bennett, J. Taylor, H. Lees, Esqrs., and The
Hon. W. H. F. Cavendish. The Church, dedicated to St. George, is a
perpetual curacy, endowed by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners with
£144 per annum. Vicar of Glossop, patron; Rev. John Rigg, M.A.,
incumbent. The Church, a handsome Gothic structure in the style of
Edward III., with nave, chancel, side aisles, and lofty spire with
one bell, is in a commanding situation in the hamlet of Beard, and
will seat about 1000 persons, of which upwards of 400 are free; it
was erected at a cost of £3,500. Of this sum £2,500 was
paid by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and £1000 raised by
subscription, The Earl of Burlington gave land for the site, stone
for the building, and £160; Geo. Wm. Newton, Esq.., gave £200;
Wilbraham Egerton, Esq., £150; John White, Esq., £50. It
was consecrated by Bishop Ryder, of Coventry, (who had also given
£50) July 26th, 1831. A Parsonage house is now about being
erected, which will cost about £800, subscriptions have been
entered into, and grants from the Commissioners of Gally Knight's
Fund of £300, and from the Lichfield Church Diocesan Extension
Society of £200 have been obtained, conditionally, that the
undertaking be carried into effect without delay, The Hon, W. H. F.
Cavendish has given the site, and subscriptions have been received
from J. Ingham, Esq., of £50, Chas. Yates, Esq., £20,
besides several smaller sums. A National school was erected in
1845, at a cost of £800, for which the Hon. Wm. Hy. Fdk.
Cavendish gave land for the site and stone for the building; Humphrey
Nicholl, Esq., of Broughton, near Manchester, gave £100, with
other subscriptions, aided by grants from the Committee of Council
for Education, and the National Society; it is a good stone building,
will hold about 500, of whom 110 attend; there is a house attached
for the master. The large tithes were commuted in 1841 for £107
10s. from which the vicar of Glossop receives £80; the
remainder is paid to the Hon. William Henry Frederick Cavendish. Mrs.
Harriet Wake, of Sheffield, Andrew Brittlebank, J. Roston, and Henry
Lees, Esqrs., receive the small tithes. The Catholic Church of the
Annunciation, erected 1846, at a cost of £4000 is a handsome
structure in the decorated style of English architecture, and a
perfect revival of an ancient parish church. It is situated on an
eminence; and 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 cast 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
chiefly raised by the unwearied exertions of the late Rev John Joseph
Collins. Messrs. Weightman and Hadfield, of Sheffield, were the
architects. The Rev. Bernard O. Donald,
priest. The Wesleyan Methodist chapel was erected in 1810; it is a
good stone building, with one bell and clock. In 1844 a day school
was added, which is taught on the Glasgow training system, and was
opened Sept. 29th, 1845. The Association Methodists have a neat
stone chapel, erected in 1838, which, with four cottages, cost £700;
and the Primitive Methodists have a good one, built in 1827, at a
cost of £500. The Independents have one at Whittle, a good
stone building, will hold 550, and has a day school attached. Sunday
schools are attached to all the chapels. The Parochial school in
Thornsett hamlet was built by subscription, in 1832, at a cost of
£350; it is a good stone building and will hold about 300, the
average attendance being about 80; a house for the master and
mistress is now in course of erection which will cost about £100.
The New Mills branch of a London circulating library was established
in 1845, at Mr. Robt. 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
260 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
in Cheshire. About 2,000,000 feet of gas is consumed annually. The Ancient Order of
Shepherds, and
Odd Fellows have lodges here. A
fair is held on the 11th of May, and the Feast first Sunday after
September the 19th.
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 and
one paper mill. The Wesleyan Methodists have a small chapel here.
Here is also an Endowed school, where about 40 children receive
instruction. 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; 6 cotton spinners and
manufacturers, and 7 candle manufacturers; Grove Mill, Rock Mill,
Strine's Works, Torr and Torr-Top Mills are on the river Goyt; Beard
Mill, Garrison Print-works, Bower's 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 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 side of Kinderscout, and its confluence with the river Goyt
near the Torr, at Hibberts'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 the ten hamlets of Beard, Ollerset, Whittle,
Thornsett, Great Hamlet, Phoeside, Kinder, Chinley, Bugsworth, and
Brownside; about a century ago it was subdivided, when three of the
hamlets were attached to Hayfield, three to Chinley, and the
remaining four formed this 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 four townships, having seventeen guardians, who meet every other
Monday at 2 o'clock, at the Workhouse, a
substantial stone building, erected in 1840 and 1841, at a cost of
£2,700, to accommodate 87 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,
which form a joint township, 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 29,712 souls, of whom
14,850 were males and 14,862 females. There are at present 56 in and
140 out door paupers. Chairman
to the Board of Guardians, John
White, Esq.; Clerk
and Superintendent Registrar, Mr.
John Slater; Master
and Matron, Job
and Betty Harrison; Surgeon, Mr.
Thomas Richard Jackson, New Mills; Relieving
Officer and Registrar of Births, Deaths, and Marriages,
Mr. Job Harrison.
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 barn and out buildings, 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, 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 6s. a year to a
schoolmaster at Chinley school, to be paid from Estmeats estate, in
Chinley, and likewise 6s. 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, £6. 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. 64. 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 Sept., 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, for teaching grammar in a 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 Hayfield. £2 10s, is paid yearly 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.
Hague'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. This place has since been sold, and the money applied
in building a new school, which cost. £422. Fifteen children are
taught reading, writing, and accounts, without any charge - 4 in
respect of Trickett's, and 11 of Hague's charity.
John
Hague, Esq., by
will dated 19th Feb., 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 Barns' Fold, near Hayfield, which
was purchased by Mrs. Dorothy Hague, and that, by her will, she
directed that the yearly payment thereout should be increased to £16.
Joseph
Hague, 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, Phoeside, and Kinder, to be distributed on
Christmas day, for ever. The estate belongs to John White, Esq., of
Park Hall, by whom the 40s. is paid to the churchwardens, 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, Phoeside, 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. The whole has been distributed as above, by Mr. Gee, the
executor. He also left £2 2s. per annum to, and for a minister
performing service
in the Wesleyan Methodist chapel.
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, Phoeside, and Kinder. The sum of £2 5s. 0d. is
distributed in sums of 5s, to the most needy, by Mr. John Gee.
John
Baddeley Radcliff's Charity, - (See Chapel-en-le-Frith.) The
sum of £2 13s. 4d. was left annually to the poor of this
township, but is lost.
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.
