Entries for the area of the Ancient Parish of Glossop.
GLOSSOP.
Glossop is a municipal
borough and parish at the north-western extremity of the county,
adjoining Cheshire, 14 miles E. from Manchester, 24 N.W. from
Sheffield, and 50 miles N.N.W. from Derby. The Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincolnshire railway passes through the parish, and has stations
at Hadfield and Dinting. From the latter there is a branch line,
about one mile in length, into the town of Glossop.
The old parish of
Glossop was of vast extent, stretching lengthwise about 16 miles, and
from five to eight miles crosswise. It included the townships and
hamlets of Glossop, Chinley, Bugsworth and Brownside, Charlesworth,
Chisworth, Chunall, Dinting, Hadfield, Hayfield, Ludworth, Mellor,
New Mills, Padfield, Simmondley, and Whitfield, covering upwards of
50,000 acres. For the convenience of the few widely scattered
inhabitants there were chapels at Charlesworth, Hayfield, and Mellor.
These subsequently became parochial, and other parishes have been
carved out of it in recent years. The area of the township of Glossop
is returned at 18,430 acres, of which about 8,000 acres are moorland.
At the time of the
Domesday Survey, Glossop was part of the lordship of Longdendale,
which then belonged to the Crown. A few years later Henry I. granted
it, with the rest of his extensive domain of the Peak, to William
Peverel, but on the attainder of his grandson it reverted to the
Crown. In 1157, Henry II. gave the manor and church of Glossop, with
all its appurtenances in free and perpetual alms, to the Cistercian
Abbey of Basingwerk, in Flintshire. Both manor and church remained in
the possession of the abbey till the dissolution of monasteries, when
they were bestowed by Henry VIII. upon Francis Talbot, fifth Earl of
Shrewsbury. On the death of Gilbert, seventh earl, in 1616, one of
his daughters and coheiresses conveyed Glossop in marriage to Thomas
Howard, Earl of Arundel, from whom it has descended to the present
owner, Lord Howard of Glossop. The noble family of Howard, of the
ducal house of Norfolk, claims descent from Hereward, who lived in
the reign of King Edgar, whose son, Hereward le Wake, held the
Normans at bay when the rest of England had submitted to their rule.
The late Lord Howard, second son of the 13th Duke of Norfolk, was
deputy Earl Marshall from 1861 to 1868, and was created a peer in
1869. Glossop Hall is a handsome mansion, standing within extensive
grounds a little N.E. of Old Glossop.
The town is seated in a
valley on the sides of the lofty hills that environ it on all sides.
The scenery around is wild and picturesque, and had not commerce
seated itself here in later years, Glossop might have become a
popular pleasure resort. It was incorporated in 1866, and within the
borough boundary are included Dinting, Dinting Vale, Hadfield,
Padfield, Simmondley, Waterside, and Whitfield. The borough is
divided into three wards, which form a civil parish under the Parish
and District Councils Act. Each ward returns six guardians. The
rateable value of the borough is £58,884, and the population
22,414. The cotton trade is said to have been introduced here in
1784, but previous to this there were woollen factories and fulling
mills. Some of the mills are on a gigantic scale. The Howardtown
Mills, belonging to John Wood & Brothers, Ltd., cover 14 acres,
and contain 221,000 spindles and 3,500 looms, giving employment to
5,000 or 6,000 persons when in full work. At the Wren Nest Mills,
Francis Sumner & Co., Ltd., proprietors, there are 123,000
spindles and 2,541 looms. The Shipley Mill Cotton Manufacturing Co.,
Ltd., have 43,000 spindles. There are other mills of less magnitude.
Another very important industry is the paper manufacture. The paper
mills of Messrs. Olive & Partington (sole proprietor, Edward
Partington, Esq., J.P.) at Turn Lee, cover several acres of ground
and give employment to about 600 hands and a large staff of clerks
besides. The machinery is all of the latest and most approved
principle, and the machines used in several parts of the process, are
the special patent of the firm. The paper is made from wood pulp. The
timber is imported from Norway in six feet lengths, and after passing
through various processes is reduced to pulp and converted into
paper. Upwards of 120 tons of paper are turned out weekly. Another
industry that gives employment to a large number of the inhabitants
is calico printing ; and a considerable trade is also done in the
manufacture of spring mattresses.
Old Glossop is a quaint
looking village, picturesquely seated at some height on the hill side
overlooking the valley below. Beyond it, stretch heath-clad hills
abounding with grouse. New Glossop or Howard Town is situated in the
valley, and is sometimes called Glossopdale. Here are located the
cotton factories, the shops and business premises, and the great mass
of the inhabitants. All the houses and mills are built of stone, and,
though some of them date from the early part of this century, they
still retain much of their original freshness of colour. A market was
established under powers of an Act of Parliament obtained in 1844,
and is held on Saturdays. The Town Hall is a handsome building of
stone in the Italian style, with covered market behind, erected in
1838 at a cos; of £8,500, and opened as a market on the 19th
July, 1845. It was enlarged in 1854. Gas Works were erected the same
year by a company with a registered capital of £6,000 in £10
shares; and Water Works were constructed in 1854 by the Duke of
Norfolk, at a cost of £4,000. The reservoir, about five acres
in extent, is situated at Swineshaw, l½ miles from the town.
Fairs for cattle, horses, etc., are held on May 6th, and the first
Wednesday after October 10th.
The parish church of
All Saints’, at Old Glossop, is a large edifice in the Gothic
style, consisting of chancel, nave, side aisles, and tower containing
eight bells. The old church, having become ruinous, the nave and
aisles were rebuilt, and two galleries added in 1831, at a cost of
£2,000. The chancel was rebuilt a little later by the Duke of
Norfolk, the lay impropriator of the tithes ; and in 1855 his grace
rebuilt the tower and spire. The Howard arms are carved in stone
above the west doorway of the tower. The Hague monument, now in
Hayfield church, was formerly in the chancel of All Saints, from
which it was removed when the chancel was rebuilt, and never
replaced. The east window, of three lights, is a memorial of the late
Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, Robert Shipley, Esq., and John Wood,
Esq. Two of the eight bells were added by the parishioners when the
tower was rebuilt. Two tablets record feats of bell-ringing : one on
the 13th March, 1858, when a peal of Kent Treble Bob Majors of 7,040
changes was rung in 4 hours and 5 minutes; another, on the 7th
November, 1863, when a peal of Kent Treble Bob Majors of 5,280
changes was rung in 3 hours and 9 minutes to the memory of Alderman
Cubit, chairman of the Cotton Famine Committee. The bells were
re-hung in 1877, and a chiming apparatus added at a cost of £180.
Old Glossop has also achieved some fame in hand-bell ringing, and
three years in succession—1871, 1872, and 1873—the
Glossop men carried off the first prize at Belle Vue, Manchester. The
living is a vicarage, worth £231, with residence, in the gift
of Lord Howard of Glossop, and held by the Rev. A. P. Hamilton
Wilson.
Opposite the church
gates is an ancient cross, about nine feet high, and still in good
preservation.
On an eminence near the
hall is the Catholic Church of All Saints, erected by the Duke of
Norfolk in 1836, at a cost of £3,000. It is of the Classic
style of architecture, with projecting roof and pediment supported on
Tuscan pilasters. Above the altar is a painting of St. Jerome, a copy
of one in the Vatican at Rome. The windows are filled with stained
glass, executed in the highest style of art. St. Andrew, St. David,
and St. Patrick are represented. On one window is depicted the
Blessed Philip Howard, Earl of Arundel, who, for his adherence to the
old faith and for sheltering priests, was fined £10,000,
committed to the Tower, and finally sentenced to death, but died in
1595 whilst awaiting execution. On another is Father Nicholas
Garlick, a native of Dinting, who suffered death in the reign of
Elizabeth for exercising his priestly functions.
The Church of St. Mary
occupies a commanding site off St. Mary’s Road, and is without
doubt one of the finest Catholic churches in the north of England. It
was built by the heirs of the late F. J. Sumner, Esq., J.P., D.L., of
Park Hall, Hayfield, and Wren Nest Mills, Glossop. The deceased
gentleman died suddenly, intestate, in 1884. Mr. Sumner had often
expressed his intention of building a church for the convenience of
his co-religionists, and his heirs very generously carried out his
intentions. Out of the vast wealth which came unexpectedly into their
possession, they set apart the sum of £17,000—£12,000
for the fabric and £5,000 for the endowment. The site was given
by Lord Howard, and the plans were prepared by Mr. Dempster,
architect, Birmingham. The church is in the Early English style, and
consists of chancel, nave, and north and south aisles. The length is
123ft. 6in., and width 60 feet. The nave is separated from the aisles
on each side by eight lofty arches with decorated borders. The
sanctuary is a pentagonal apse, and on each side is a small chapel,
divided by a handsome stone screen. The organ stands in one chapel,
the other contains the Lady altar. The high altar is an exquisite
piece of sculpture in alabaster, marble, and Caen stone ; and the
Caen stone pulpit is of a very handsome design, rich in tabernacle
work that harmonises with the altar. The aisles have two-light
windows, with tracery heads ; the windows of the chancel and side
chapels are of a different design. The west window is divided into
six lights by moulded mullions, and the tracery is a combination of
all the other windows in the church very ingeniously worked out. The
fourteen stations of the Cross chat adorn the walls were executed by
Meyer, of Munich. The figures stand out in high relief and are very
realistic. Each station was a special gift, and on a brass plate
beneath is inscribed the donor’s name. The baptistry is a
unique feature in the church. It is a projection under the west
window, similar to the apse at the east end, with vaulted ceiling,
and lighted by three small cusped windows. The organ is a fine
instrument, by Messrs. Gray and Davison, of London. The turret
contains one bell, and is surmounted by a spire.
In connection with the
church are schools, taught by the Sisters of Charity of St. Paul.
The Wesleyan Chapel at
Old Glossop was erected in 1813, and enlarged in 1830. It is a very
plain building, capable of seating 500. A second chapel, situated in
High Street, Howard Town, was built in 1844, at a cost of £600,
and in 1860 it was considerably enlarged, at an expense of nearly
£2,000. It contains an excellent organ, by Young, of
Manchester. This chapel is the head of the circuit, and in connection
with it are good day schools. The Wesleyan Reform Chapel, in Howard
Street, was built in 1854, and will seat 700. The Methodist New
Connexion Chapel, in Simmondley Lane, is a plain stone building,
erected in 1860, at an expense of about £1,000. There is
accommodation for 300. Adjoining the chapel are the schools, which
cost about £1,300. There are two departments, mixed and
infants, with a total accommodation for 100; average attendance, 125.
The chapel is in the Staley Bridge circuit. The Congregational
Church, Mount Pleasant, is an elegant structure, built in 1868, to
seat 650. Schools and classrooms were added in 1875, at a total cost
of £3,200. The Gospel Union Mission Hall, in Edison Street, is
a substantial building, erected at a cost of £1,000. There is
accommodation for 1,000 persons, and only total abstainers are
admitted to membership. There are also chapels belonging to the
United Methodist Free Church and the Unitarians.
The Grammar School (Old
Glossop) was rebuilt by the Duke of Norfolk in 1852, at a cost of
£2,000, and endowed by his Grace with £4,000 in the 3 per
cent, consols, now £4,200 at 2¾ per cent. It is open to
all denominations. There is an efficient staff of teachers; and, in
addition to a commercial education, technical instruction, under the
scheme of the County Council, is also given.
Few towns of the same
magnitude possess such an extensive and beautiful Park as Glossop.
The land, about 13 acres in extent, was given by Lord Howard, and
Mrs. Wood generously bore the expense of laying out the grounds, &c.,
which cost about £6,000. The situation is delightful, affording
a beautiful prospect of the amphitheatre of hills and moorlands that
surround it. The grounds were laid out by Mr. Milner, the eminent
landscape gardener, who has produced a very diversified and
picturesque effect. A lake, with a miniature island and waterfall,
lends additional charms. Facing the main entrance is a beautiful
white marble monument, symbolising the principal industry of the
town. It represents a factory girl, life-size, holding a shuttle in
her hand, whilst beside her are bales of cotton. The granite base
forms an ornamental fountain. The monument was erected in 1889, in
memory of Daniel and Samuel Wood, Esquires.
At the north-western
corner of the Park is the Hospital, erected by D. Wood, Esq., at a
cost of £5,000, and endowed by the same benevolent gentleman
with £20,000. The premises consist of three blocks, united by a
corridor, the ground plan resembling the letter E, the upright line
being the corridor. The centre limb contains the apartments and
offices belonging to the administrative department, and the other two
are the wards for men and women respectively. There is accommodation
for sixteen patients. The domestic and sanitary arrangements of the
hospital are on the latest and most approved principles. Detached
from the hospital are the boiler-house, washhouse, porter's lodge,
coachhouse, and stables.
A handsome suite of
Baths stands at the southern extremity of the Park. These Baths were
the gift of Samuel and Ann Kershaw Wood, who expended about £15,000
on their erection. Architecturally they are quite an ornament to the
Park. The swimming bath is 80ft. long by 32ft. wide, and the
semicircular roof, at its highest point, is 50ft. above the water.
Two fine palm trees give a pleasing effect to the interior.
Twenty-seven dressing-boxes are ranged along the side, and in an
annexe a small bath is provided, in which each intending bather must
wash his feet—a rule most rigorously enforced. There are nine
slipper baths, a shower bath, vapour bath, a fully-equipped Turkish
bath, and several of the appliances used in hydropathic treatment.
The charges are moderate, but the baths do not receive that amount of
patronage one would have expected in a manufacturing town.
The Public Hall and
Free Library was the gift of H. Rhodes, Esq., of Thorncliffe Hall,
Hollingworth, and Captain Partington, of Easton, Glossop, who each
contributed £2,000 towards its erection. It is situated at the
corner of Fauvel street and Talbot street, on a site presented by
Lord Howard. The style of architecture is light and pleasing,
resembling the late Gothic work erected
during the reign of
James I. The front projection is octagonal, and from one side rises a
tower, with pinnacles at each comer and a slated spire. The external
walls are faced with parpoints, and the quoins, labels, and strings
are surmounted by a very fine parapet in ashlar work. The library and
reading room on the ground floor is a large apartment, measuring 72
feet by 36 feet, well lighted, and fitted throughout in pitchpine.
Above is the Public Hall, capable of accommodating upwards of 1,000
persons. These several gifts of the Park, Hospital, Baths, and Public
Hall were given to the town in commemoration of the jubilee of Queen
Victoria, and the memorial stones were laid with great jubilation on
the 30th of July, 1887.
Glossop Poor-Law Union
comprises the three parishes of Glossop, Charlesworth, and Ludworth
and Chisworth, containing 20,781 acres. The Workhouse, which is
situated a little above Old Glossop, was erected in 1831, by the lord
of the manor, at an expense of £1,500, and has recently been
purchased, together with some adjacent land, from Lord Howard for
£900. There is accommodation for 144, and there are usually
about 85 paupers in the house.
Whitfield is a hamlet
and village containing 1,500 acres of land, now included in the
borough of Glossop. The land is chiefly freehold. The manor of
Whitfield belonged to Thomas le Ragged, who, in 1330, conveyed it to
John Foljambe; it has long been held with the manor of Glossop. The
Garlicks possessed landed property here in the 15th and 16th
centuries. Charlestown and Littlemoor are villages in Whitfield
hamlet. A church dedicated to St. James was erected at Littlemoor in
1845 at a cost of £4,500, and a parochial district comprising
3,009 acres was allotted to it. The living is a vicarage worth £270,
in the gift of John Wood, Esq., Mrs. S. Wood, and S. H. Wood, Esq.,
and held by the Rev. H. T. Dudley, M.A. In connection with it are
mission rooms in Talbot street and George street. Mr. Joseph Hague,
amongst other philanthropic deeds, built and endowed a Charity School
at Whitfield in 1778. The Wesleyan Chapel dates from 1810. A
commodious Sunday school was built in 1885 at a cost of £1,000,
chiefly subscribed by the working men of the district.
Dinting is a hamlet
comprising 584 acres of land lying about one mile west of Glossop,
but now included in the borough. Here is a station on the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire railway, from which there is a branch
line to Glossop. At Dinting Vale are the calico printing works of
Messrs. Potter & Co., Ltd. The business was commenced in 1825 by
Mr. Potter, who was subsequently M.P. for Carlisle, and was largely
instrumental in obtaining the removal of the duties on prints and
materials used in their manufacture, thus putting the business of
calico printing on a commercial footing. Favoured with water
possessing remarkable bleaching qualities, and the employment of the
very best skill, the business has steadily increased, the premises
have been extended, and to-day the Dinting Vale print-works are the
largest in the world. There are 52 printing machines, and about 1,000
workers are employed in the various departments. The distributing
centre of the business is in Manchester, with branches in London,
Paris, and New York. The firm was converted into a private limited
liability company in 1892.
A handsome church,
dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was erected in 1872, the whole cost of
which, upwards of £12,000, was defrayed by the Messrs. John,
Daniel, and Samuel Wood. The edifice is an elegant Gothic structure,
comprising chancel, nave, side aisles, organ chamber, south porch,
and a square embattled tower, surmounted by a hexagonal spire. The
chancel has a groined roof of polished pitchpine, and is separated
from the nave by a lofty pointed arch of granite, and massive pillars
of the same material, six on one side and five on the other, divide
the aisles from the nave.
The chancel is lighted
by three two-light windows, in the eastern gable, the centre one
being filled with stained glass in memory of John H. Wood, who died
in 1869, and two circular ones in the north and south walls. The
windows of the aisles are two lights, and those in the clerestory are
in groups of three each. The pulpit is of granite, octagonal in shape
and elaborately carved and rests on clustered columns of polished
granite, supported by a base of the same material. A brass plate
bears the following inscription:—“This pulpit has been
erected by the parishioners and friends in loving memory of John
Wood, J.P., Daniel Wood and Samuel Wood, J.P., Esqrs., patrons and
founders of this church, November, 1888.” The organ is a fine
instrument, presented by Mrs. Wood in 1882. The fount is a very
handsome one of granite and marble, and elaborately carved. The
living, a vicarage, worth £320, with residence, is in the gift
of Mrs. S. Wood, S. H. Wood, Esq., and John Wood, Esq., J.P., D.L.
A school was built at
the same time as the church for the accommodation of 430 children.
Hadfield is a
considerable village and township containing 357 acres of land, lying
on the south bank of the river Etherow, and now forming one of the
wards of the borough of Glossop. The principal industry is cotton
spinning and weaving, which is carried on to a considerable extent in
the district. The church, dedicated to St. Andrew, is a handsome
edifice of stone consisting of nave, chancel, transept, porch, and
belfry containing one bell. On each side of the nave, three or four
feet from the wall, is a row of iron pillars from which spring wooden
arches that support the roof. The style of architecture is Gothic,
and the total cost of the building was £4,174. The organ, which
stands in the chancel, is a fine instrument, by Wadsworth Brothers,
of Manchester, and cost £650. It was presented by James
Sidebottom, Esq., J.P., in 1879, in memory of his wife. The font was
presented by James Sherriff, stonemason, formerly sexton at
Tintwistle Church, who emigrated to Australia, whence the font came.
On one side is inscribed “ St. Paul writeth, according to His
mercy God saved us by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the
Holy Ghost.” On another is' “Jesus said, except a man be
born again of water and of the Holy Spirit he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God.” The living is a vicarage worth £260 with
residence, in the gift of five trustees, and held by the Rev. J.
Hadfield, who is Rural Dean of Glossop.
A school, in which
church service was held previous to the erection of the church, was
built in 1855 at a cost of £850.
The Catholics also have
a church here, dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo, erected by the late
Lord Howard. It is a handsome stone structure, consisting of nave,
aisles, sanctuary, sacristy, and western tower containing one bell.
Built on an eminence, this church has a picturesque appearance,
seated amidst shrubberies which are graced here and there with
statues, crosses, etc. The style of architecture is Gothic, and the
church contains a handsome pulpit, presented by public subscription
about a year - ago. The presbytery adjoins the church.
The Wesleyan Chapel,
erected in 1878, is a large edifice of stone in the Norman style,
seated on the crest of a hill, whence there is an extensive view of
the surrounding landscape. It is well lighted by circular-headed
windows, and comfortably furnished to seat 900. In connection with
the chapel is a Sunday school. The total cost was about £5,000.
A day-school was established by the society in 1808, and rebuilt in
1854. There is accommodation for 300 and an average attendance of
180. The United Methodist Free Church is a plain oblong building,
lighted by windows of the Gothic type. It was erected in 1876, at a
cost of £600, raised by voluntary subscriptions. The Primitive
Methodists built their present chapel in 1876. Attached is a burial
ground.
The Congregational
Church, situated at Brookfield, is a substantial structure of stone,
in the Gothic style, erected in 1883,, at a cost of £4,000,
part of which was raised by public subscription, and the remainder
was a donation from W. Shepley, Esq., J.P.; and the organ, built by
J. J. Binns, of Leeds, cost £250, was presented by Mrs.
Shepley. All the woodwork is pitchpine, and the windows are filled
with stained glass of various designs, geometric, floral, and
conventional. There is sitting accommodation for 350 in the body of
the church, and a gallery above the entrance will seat 100 more.
Adjoining the church is the day school, comprising one large room and
seven classrooms, erected in 1888, at a cost of £1,200,
defrayed by Mr. Shepley. There is an average attendance of 160.
The Liberal Club is a
commodious structure, erected in 1877. The premises Comprise two
billiard rooms, a bar, a well stocked library, and a hall measuring
about 80 feet by 34 feet, in which lectures, concerts,
entertainments, &c., are given. The Conservatives also have their
club, erected in 1876.
Building stone of
excellent quality is abundant and is extensively quarried at
Mouselow, a little east of the village, and an old planting near by
is the traditionary site of Mouselow Castle, but not a vestige
remains to prove that it ever existed.
Waterside is a
manufacturing village on a small brook near the Etherow. Here are the
extensive mills of Messrs. T. H. Sidebottom & Co., Ltd.,
containing 297,000 spindles and 4,800 looms. Mersey Mills, near
Etherow, the property of Thomas Rhodes & Co., Ltd., contains
81,000 spindles, and 1,647 looms. The Hadfield Mills, owned by Thomas
Rhodes & Son, contain 75,126 spindles and 1,345 looms, and employ
about 950 hands in the various departments.
Woolley Bridge is a
village that takes its name from the bridge that here crosses the
Etherow.
Padfield is a large
village and hamlet containing 650 acres of land lying near the
Etherow, and included in Hadfield Ward of the Borough of Glossop. The
inhabitants are chiefly employed in the cotton mills of Messrs. Edwd.
Platt & Son. The Wesleyans have a chapel here, a neat stone
structure, built in 1880, at a cost of £2,000, in lieu of one
erected in 1828, and the Independents have also a small chapel. A day
school was erected in 1887, by Messrs. Rhodes, owners of Hadfield
Mill, for the accommodation of the children of their employees. There
is an average attendance of 200.

4,000 acres and 2,327 inhabitants. It is in the hundred of High Peak;
county court district, petty sessional division, poor law union and
deanery of Glossop.
The township of
Charlesworth contains 15,261 acres of land lying on the south-west
side of Glossop. For the purpose of carrying out the Local Government
Act of 1894 eight parish councillors have been assigned to
Charlesworth, and the township divided into two wards, No. 1 Ward
comprising Charlesworth parliamentary polling district, and No. 2
Ward the rest of the parish. The former elects two guardians and two
district councillors, and the latter one of each.
Charlesworth, at the
time of the Domesday Survey, was known as Cheveneswrde, and
then formed part of the crown lands. In 1294 Peter de Charlesworth
died seized of certain lands in this township and elsewhere in the
parish of Glossop, which he held for the Abbot of Basingwerke. In
1308 Robert de Charlesworth gave to the said abbot 80 acres of arable
land in Charlesworth, in addition to smaller endowments in Simondley
and Chunal. In consequence of this gift, the abbot established a
grange here, in which resided one or more monks of the order, whose
duty was to look after the interests of the monastery. He also
erected a chapel, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen, which was probably
at first served by one of the monks from the grange. In 1329 the
abbot obtained the royal permission so establish a market at
Charlesworth on Wednesdays, and a yearly fair to be held on the
festival of the patron saint of the chapel.
Local tradition assigns
another origin to the chapel. According to this legend, a traveller
on his way from Manchester to London was benighted, and lost his way
on the Charlesworth moors. Unable to proceed, he prayed to God and
the Virgin Mary for protection, and vowed that, if he were delivered
from his danger, be would build a chapel on the spot. Scarcely had
the vow been uttered when a shepherd passing that way found him, and
conveyed him to a neighbouring house. He accomplished his journey in
safety, and on arriving at his home in Ireland, he made an
oak--timbered roof, brought it over to England, and, in fulfilment of
his vow, built the chapel on the brow of Charlesworth hill. Popular
traditions have substratum of truth in them, and it is possible that
the old chapel may have been restored as a thank-offering by some
traveller who had been providentially saved whilst crossing these
moors.
The monks of
Basingwerke retained possession of the land till the Reformation, and
their memory is perpetuated in an old road over the hill, which is,
to this day, known as Monk's Road.
In the early years of
the reign of Henry VIII. a chantry was founded in the chapel of
Charlesworth by William Wolley, of Riber. in the parish of Matlock,
who left certain lands in Chesterfield, Newbold, Tapton, and
Dronfield—which lands had been given to him by Ralph Heathcote,
bell-founder, of Chesterfield—to provide a priest to say mass
for his soul. This endowment escaped the lynx-eyed commissioners who
drew up the chantry roll; but shortly afterwards, in the second year
of Elizabeth, the land was taken from the chapel and conferred on Sir
George Howard. The chapel also appears to have been transferred with
the land to the Howards and as they remained firm in their attachment
to the old faith it is probable that no effort was made either to
preserve the fabric or to provide for the performance of the reformed
service. The parliamentary commissioners of 1650, report of
Charlesworth that it is fit to be disused and the place united to
Glossop. from which it would seem that it was then occasionally used
for service, which at that time was Presbyterian.
After the Restoration
of the monarchy, the chapel was allowed to remain in the hands of the
Presbyterians by the Howards, who themselves, under the severe
penalties of a cruel and unjust law, could only hear mass by stealth,
when some priest in disguise secretly visited their mansion. The
Presbyterians subsequently became identified with the Independents,
and at a later period they became known as Congregationalists. In
1797 the chapel was entirely rebuilt, and not a trace of the original
edifice now remains. Several small endowments have been left to this
chapel for the benefit of the dissenting minister, and, should there
be no dissenting minister, the said endowments are to be applied to
the poor or to educate children. In connection with the chapel is a
school, with accommodation for 250, and an average attendance of 99.
The parish church,
dedicated to St. John Baptist, was erected in 1849, at a cost of
£2,700. It is a cruciform structure, comprising nave, chancel,
north and south transepts, and tower, but possesses no architectural
beauty. The living is a vicarage, worth £180 yearly with
residence, in the gift of the Crown and the Bishop of Southwell
alternately, and held by the Rev. G. W. Collins, M.A. A commodious
National School, with master’s house, was erected in 1850, at
an outlay of £530. There are 63 names on the books, and an
average attendance of 44.
The Particular Baptists
have a chapel, erected in 1835 at a cost of about £700. It will
seat 300.
The village, which is
of considerable extent and once had its market, is situated on the
Marple road, two miles S.W. from Glossop and one mile from Mottram
station, on the M., S. & L. railway. There are two extensive
manufactories of rope, twine, and cotton banding. Hole House Mill is
the property of James Rowbottom, and the same firm carry on cotton
doubling at Chew Wood Mill, Chisworth, and cotton spinning at Hurst
Mill, Glossop. Messrs. John Booth & Son employ a considerable
number of hands in the manufacture of cotton bands, ropes, and
twines.
About a mile N.W. from
Charlesworth is the hamlet of Gamesley, comprising several farms
extending to the borders of Cheshire. Here are the vestiges of a
Roman camp, known as Melandra Castle, from which a Roman road led
over the moors to the station at Brough.
Ludworth and Chisworth
forms a joint township containing about 2,550 acres of land,
belonging chiefly to Lord Howard of Glossop. Under the Parish and
District Councils Act, Ludworth and Chisworth form a parish divided
into two wards—Ludworth and Chisworth—each co-extensive
with its own highway district. The former ward returns three
guardians and three rural district councillors, and the latter one
guardian and one rural district councillor. There are eight parish
councillors.
Marple Bridge is a
thriving village on the banks of the river Goyte, which here divides
Derbyshire from Cheshire. The scenery in the district is very
attractive, and the village is much frequented by pleasure seekers,
The Congregational Church is a handsome structure in the
Perpendicular Gothic style, built in 1887, at a cost of about £3,000.
The old chapel, built in 1787, is now used as a Sunday school and for
technical educational purposes, and is known as the Congregational
Hall. The first chapel was erected shortly after the passing of the
Act of Uniformity in 1662, through the labours of the Rev. Win.
Bagshaw, the Apostle of the Peak, one of the 2,000 ministers ejected
from the Church of England. The Catholic Church, dedicated to St.
Mary, was erected by Lord Howard, in 1859. It possesses few
architectural pretentions, but the interior decorations are handsome.
A lofty Gothic arch separates the chancel from the nave, and on
either side is a smaller arch leading to a side chapel. These arches
spring from clustered granite columns, and spanning the central one
is an alabaster screen elaborately sculptured. The decorated walls
and roof of the chancel are rich in gold and colour. On the north
wall is represented the Ascension, and on the opposite side the
Annunciation. Behind the altar is an oil painting of considerable
merit, representing Christ restoring sight to the blind man. The
windows are filled with stained glass, exhibiting full length figures
of various saints ; and handsome statues of Our Lord and the Blessed
Virgin Mary stand on pedestals on either side of the sanctuary. The
decorations cost £1,400. In connection with the church is a day
school, attended by about 50 children. The Primitive Methodists have
a chapel on Compstall-road, rebuilt in 1893, at a cost of £1,800.
It is a handsome building of stone, with a Sunday school on the
ground floor. Attached is a burial ground.
Lane Ends, Holly
Bank, Limefield, and Mill Brow are small villages in Ludworth.
Chisworth is a
scattered village and hamlet, four miles S.W. from Glossop. A
Wesleyan Chapel was erected here in 1891, at a cost of £1,000.
It is a handsome edifice in the pure Gothic style; the interior is
bright and cheerful, and elegantly furnished throughout in pitch
pine. There are several stained-glass windows on each side, which
admit a flood of tinted light. Attached is a small graveyard, in
which lie the remains of James Coope, one of the founders of the
society.
Compstall Road is a
considerable village on the Derbyshire side of the river Etherow,
which is here crossed by a bridge, on the other side of which is
Compstall in Cheshire.

HAYFIELD.
This is an extensive
township and chapelry in the wide-spreading parish of Glossop,
containing 7,919 acres of land, and 2,856 inhabitants. Its rateable
value is £13,692. For all civil purposes it forms a district
parish, and is the head of a poor law union. The Duke of Devonshire
is lord of the manor, and Francis John Sumner, Esq., Leamington Spa,
Warwickshire, is the principal landowner. There are many small
freeholders. Under the new Local Government Act eight parish
councillors have been assigned to Hayfield, and five district
councillors.
The district is of a
wild alpine character; moorland eminences, scantily covered with
vegetation, and hills of considerable altitude are plentifully
scattered about. On the eastern border rises Kinder Scout, the
culminating point of the Peak range. Its summit is occupied by a
flat, boggy tableland, only a trifle short of 2,000 feet above the
sea level. The sides of the hill are deeply furrowed by numerous
romantic ravines, locally called cloughs, through which streams flow,
forming picturesque waterfalls. “A great part of Kinder Scout
and the adjoining moors,” says the Guide, “were, until
lately, what is known as the ‘King’s Land,’ over
which the public might ramble at their pleasure; but about the year
1830, the whole of these lands were surveyed, and allotted to the
various owners of contiguous lands according to the size of their
holdings.” Access to the hill is now prohibited, though it was
formerly open to the public.
The romantic village of
Hayfield is prettily seated on the north bank of the Sett, 4½
miles N. from Chapel-en-le-Frith, 11 miles from Stockport, and is the
terminus of a branch of the Midland railway.
The church, dedicated
to St. Matthew, consists of chancel, nave, with side aisles, and
tower at the west end, containing a peal of six bells. Above a low
doorway, on the north side, is preserved the date of the original
erection “1386.” The chapel having become very ruinous,
the inhabitants, in 1814, obtained a Brief for its restoration, and
with the funds thus obtained, supplemented by the contributions of
the parishioners, the chapel was rebuilt on the foundations of the
old one, at a cost of £2,000. The building was completed in
1818. The new floor was raised several feet, and the pillars of the
side aisles were shortened to about six feet to act as props for the
timbers that support it. The church is in the Gothic style, but
display's the absence of taste that characterizes the buildings of
the early part of this century. The tower was rebuilt a few years
previously in 1793, and contains a peal of six bells. In 1894 it was
raised about 11 feet to receive a clock with four dials. The interior
of the church is galleried round. The aisles are lighted by stained
glass windows, and there is a very handsome one of three lights in
the chancel. The brass lectern is of a very elaborate and beautiful
design.
The interior was
thoroughly cleaned and beautified in 1892, and the communion table
enlarged and furnished with a handsome altar cloth, altar cross, and
flower vases, at an expense of £200. At the east end of the
south aisle is a handsome mural monument, inscribed:—“Sacred
to the Memory of Joseph Hague, Esq., whose virtues as a man were as
distinguished as his character as a merchant. Favour’d with the
blessings of Providence, he enjoy’d the fruits of his industry
at an early period, and by the most indefatigable pursuits and
extensive connections in trade acquired an immense fortune, which he
distributed amongst his relatives with such liberality as to give
affluence to all in his own lifetime. He was born at Chunall, in this
parish, in the year 1695, and in 1717 settled in London, where he
married Jane, the only daughter of Edmund Blagge, of Macclesfield, in
Cheshire, by whom he had 10 sons and 2 daughters, who all died in
their minority. He built and endowed the Charity School at Whitfield,
in the year 1778, and died at Park Hall, in this parish, on the 12th
day of March, 1786, aged 90 years, leaving the annual interest on
£1,000 to be be laid out in clothing 12 poor men and 12 poor
women out of the eight townships of Glossop Dale for ever; besides
other charities bequeathed to Glossop and the chapelry of Heafield.”
Surmounting the monument is an admirable bust of Joseph Hague,
executed by the eminent sculptor, John Bacon. The worthy merchant was
buried in Glossop church, and there this monument was originally
erected ; but when the chancel was rebuilt by the Duke of Norfolk the
Hague memorial was placed for safety in one of the cells of the
Lock-up, where it was allowed to remain neglected after the
completion of the work. One night a drunken man, confined in the
adjoining cell, broke through the partition wall and mutilated the
tablet, but the bust, which was carefully packed in straw,
fortunately escaped without injury. When this piece of vandalism
reached the ears of Captain White, of Park Hall, who had inherited a
considerable share of the Hague property, he took possession of the
monument, and caused it to be erected in Hayfield Chapel, where it is
the principal object of attraction. There are a few other memorials
of departed worth.
The living is a
perpetual curacy worth £180, in the gift of the resident
freeholders, and held by the Rev. R. R. Ricketts since 1877. John
Hyde, by will dated 8th September, 1604, gave certain premises to the
Merchant Taylors’ 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 parsonage was erected in 1869 at a cost of £1,200,
raised partly by public subscription.
The National School was
built in 1830, at a cost of £461, raised by subscription. An
infants’ room and other additions were made in 1879, at an
expense of £500. There is a total accommodation for 229, and
there are 200 names on the books. The school possesses an endowment
of £26 per annum.
The Wesleyan Chapel is
a substantial stone edifice, erected in 1782, and opened by John
Wesley. It was re-roofed in 1839, and enlarged in 1868. A gallery is
carried round three sides, increasing the accommodation to 350. The
style is quasi-Norman. In the centre is a bell turret surmounted by a
ball. Adjoining the chapel is the Day School, built in 1884, at a
cost of about £1,000. There are two large rooms for seniors and
infants, and two class-rooms, having a total accommodation for 300.
The average attendance for the past year was 64.
The Free Church
Methodist Bethel was rebuilt in 1866, on the site of a former chapel,
at an expense of upwards of £1,000. There are two
storeys—chapel above and school below—with sitting
accommodation for 400. The interior is neatly furnished in pitchpine.
An organ was added in 1874 at a cost of £200.
The Primitive Methodist
Chapel is a good stone building flanked by buttresses, erected in
1867 at a cost of about £500, including the adjoining
class-room. There is accommodation for about 400.
A School Board was
formed in 1881, but was practically a school attendance committee
till 1888, when they erected a Board School, at a cost of £1,300.
There are two departments, with accommodation for 183.
There is nothing
attractive in the appearance of the little town. The houses are all
built of stone, with no pretensions whatever to architectural
display; the streets are narrow, and not too well paved. The
manufacture of cotton and wool was introduced at an early period.
Formerly a good deal of twine was made at Hayfield ; and the late
Wright Turner, Esq., an influential Manchester merchant and twice
mayor of Salford (1864-5 and 1865-6), began his career here in the
making of twine. There is abundance of coal, and also a copious
supply of excellent water, which afford great facilities for
manufacturing purposes. A cotton mill has been carried on at Little
Hayfield, a small village three-quarters of a mile distant, for
upward of a century. There are the two extensive paper mills of John
Slack, and three printworks, employing a considerable number of
hands. Stone is abundant, and extensively quarried at Birches Quarry,
Hadfield Bank, and Watery Hey.
The Liberals and
Conservatives have each a club in the village, with comfortably

Hayfield Poor Law Union
comprises the townships of Hayfield, New Mills, Mellor, and Disley,
containing 17,085 acres and 12,873 inhabitants. The Workhouse,
situated at Low Leighton, was erected in 1841, at a cost of £2,700,
to accommodate 87 inmates.
Little Hayfield is a
small village about three-quarters of a mile north. The Primitive
Methodists have a chapel here, built in 1851, at a cost of about
£200. Clough Mill, the property of Edward Platt & Son,
cotton manufacturers, Hadfield, has been in operation about a
century. There are 18,000 spindles, and about 300 hands are employed.
At Birch Vale, one mile
west of Hayfield, are the extensive calico printing works of Messrs.
John Bennett & Sons, erected in 1851, which give employment to
about 500 men, women, and children. The business of bleaching and
sizing cotton yarns is carried on in a portion of the works by C. E.
Bennett & Co., who employ about 80 hands. Here, at Birch View, is
a chapel belonging to the Free Church Methodists, built in 1873 at a
cost of £750.
Park Hall is a large
mansion pleasantly embosomed amongst a dense mass of wood, about one
mile north of Hayfield. It was the property and residence of Joseph
Hague, Esq., in the later years of his life, from whom it descended
to the late Captain White. It was purchased by the late Francis James
Sumner, Esq., of Glossop, and now belongs to Francis John Sumner,
Esq., of Leamington.
The township of
Hayfield consists of three hamlets, viz. :—Great Hamlet, which
includes a large portion of the village of Hayfield ; Phoside or
Foreside Hamlet occupies the southern portion of the township, and
Kinder Hamlet the eastern side.

CHINLEY, BUGSWORTH, AND BROWNSIDE
Form a joint township
in the ecclesiastical parish of Glossop, and Chapel-en-le-Frith
Union. Under the Local Government Act of 1894 they constituted a
civil parish, with a council of seven members, for the management of
parochial affairs. The total area is 3,835 acres, rateable value
£9,911, and the population in 1891 was 1,542. The land belongs
to several proprietors, the following being the largest owners:—Rev.
F. Gawthorn, Joseph C. Braddock, John Braddock, Joseph Broadhurst,
Christopher Slack, Mrs. Goodman, Mrs. Hadfield, W. H. G. Bagshawe,
J.P., John Hadfield, John Drinkwater, and William Hadfield.
The surface is roughly
broken into bold eminences, the highest of which— Chinley
Churn—attains an elevation of 1,493 feet above the sea-level.
Crowning the summit are the remains of a Roman camp, from which a
magnificent view of the surrounding country is obtained.
Chinley is a village
and extra parochial liberty, situated about 2½ miles N. by W.
from Chapel-en-le-Frith, and near the station of its own name, on the
Manchester branch of the Midland railway The village is small, and
possesses nothing of interest except the old Nonconformist Chapel
built in 1711. The congregation was originally formed through the
efforts of the Rev. Wm. Bagshaw, better known as “ The Apostle
of the Peak,” who died in 1702. A few charities connected with
the chapel are thus noticed on a Benefaction Board:—(1) Thos.
Moult, of Chinley Maze, departed this life on 16th May, 1751, and
left £5 to be put out to interest, and the interest arising
from it to go towards repairing this place. (2) Samuel Wood, of
Bowden Hall, died 15th April, 1764, and left £200 to be put out
to interest for charitable purposes, yearly, for ever, and to be
divided equally into four parts—1st, in bread amongst poor
widows and fatherless children belonging to Chapel-en-le-Frith; 2nd,
in bread at Chinley Chapel every Sunday to similar persons; 3rd, in
woollen cloths to the poor of Bowden Edge; 4th, to the minister of
Chinley Chapel for permitting six poor widows free sitting on the
north side of such chapel for ever. This charity commenced the 5th
day of May, 1765.
The Wesleyans have a
chapel at New Smithy, and a Preaching Room at Four Lane Ends.
Bugsworth is a village
and hamlet three miles N. from Chapel-en-le-Frith, and ten miles from
Glossop. Coal underlies the district; it is excellent for lime
burning, and is largely worked for that purpose. For the convenience
of the inhabitants a chapel was erected in 1874 and dedicated to St.
James. It is a, handsome edifice, in the Gothic style, capable of
seating 280 persons, and consists of chancel, nave, porch, and
belfry, containing one bell. The three windows in the east end are
filled with stained glass. The Rev. James Bower is the
curate-in-charge. The Primitive Methodists and Congregationalists
have chapels here. The former built in 1878, at a cost of £1,300,
is a large stone edifice in the Gothic style. The services are
conducted by local preachers.
Brownside comprises the
hamlets of Upper Fold and Shireoaks. The land is elevated, but yields
good crops of grass.
The educational affairs
of the parish are managed by a School Board, by whom commodious
schools have been erected, at Chinley and Bugsworth.

MELLOR.
This is a parish in the
High Peak hundred, Hayfield county council electoral division, union
and rural district; county court district of Hyde, Cheshire, petty
sessional division and deanery of Glossop, comprising an area of
2,353 acres, rateable value £5,736, and population 1,096. Under
the new Local Government Act seven parish councillors have been
assigned to Mellor, and three district councillors. The landowners
are Jonas Craven, Esq., J.P., Mellor Hall, who is lord of the manor;
Jonathan Jowett, Esq., Lower Hall, Mellor; Frederic Charles
Arkwright, Esq., Willersley, Cromford ; Lord Howard of Glossop; Lord
Egerton, and a number of small freeholders. The soil is clayey, and
is chiefly laid down in grass. Most of the inhabitants are employed
in the cotton mills and collieries.
The early owners of the
manor were the Mellors, descended from a younger son of Simon de
Montford, from whom it passed by marriage to the Radcliffes. In 1686
the ancient seat of the family was bought by James Cheetham, Esq. In
1797 the estate was again sold, the appointment of the minister
having already been bought by Mr. Thornton, of Clapham.
The village is
pleasantly situated on the Hayfield and Stockport road, about eight
miles S.W. from Glossop, and seven miles from Stockport. The Church,
dedicated to St. Thomas, was, with the exception of the tower,
rebuilt about 70 years ago, when little attention was bestowed on
ecclesiastical architecture. The Gothic tower has been recently
repaired, the old pews replaced by open seats of pitchpine, and the
chancel furnished with carved oak stalls and sedilia, and the walls
lined with carved oak panelling. Galleries on the south and west
sides of the nave increase the accommodation, but do not improve the
internal appearance. The east window is inscribed :—“ To
the Glory of God and to commemorate the confirmation by the Lord
Bishop of Lichfield of Mary Beatrice and Margaret, daughters of
Frederick and Mary Anne Cooper, of West Tower, Marple, July, 1874.”
A curious old font stands in a recess at the west end. It is
circular, cut out of a block of sandstone, and ornamented with three
quaintly incised figures of strange proportions. One represents a
human figure on horseback, but what it was intended to symbolize it
is impossible to say. Another relic of the old church is a
beautifully carved oak pulpit, of which Dr. Cox gives a drawing in
his “Churches of Derbyshire.” The living is a vicarage,
worth £140 yearly, in the gift of and held by the Rev. T. M.
Freeman since 1859.
The United Methodist
Free Church is a neat, substantial stone building with gabled front,
erected in 1846. It is well lighted with semicircular-headed windows,
and comfortably furnished with pews of painted wood. The chapel, with
the gallery, affords accommodation for 250.
The Primitive Methodist
Chapel, built in 1827, and situated in Mellor Moor End, is a plain,
oblong stone structure with accommodation for about 200 worshippers.
The earliest provision
for educational purposes was made by Thomas Walklate, who died in
1639. In accordance with his will a Free Grammar School was erected
in the churchyard, and the premises were rebuilt in 1806. This
building was taken down in 1880, and a new school erected on another
site without the churchyard, by the School Board, to which the
endowment, about £20 yearly, has been transferred.
Mellor Hall, the seat
and property of Jonas Craven, Esq., J.P., is a handsome cut-stone
mansion, nestling amidst a profusion of luxuriant trees on an
eminence overlooking the Marple Valley. It is lighted by pendicular
stone-mullioned and square-headed windows. On an adjoining building
are these initials : I C (James Cheetham) 1688.
We may mention two very
praiseworthy institutions located here. One is a holiday home for
girls employed in mills ; the other is “The Manchester
Cathedral Cottage Home,” for invalids of both sexes belonging
to the Church of England.
Part of the hamlet of
Brook Bottom is situated in this parish.

NEW MILLS.
New Mills is an
extensive modern parish, containing 4,890 acres of land, lying on the
border of Cheshire, from which it is separated by the river Goyt. It
is in the hundred of High Peak, police district of Chapel-en-le-Frith
and Glossop; county council electoral division of New Mills; county
court district of Buxton; union of Hayfield, and deanery of Glossop.
The total rateable value of the parish is £21,899, and the
population in 1891 was 5,498. The Duke of Devonshire, F. J. Sumner,
Jonathan Jowett, Lord Egerton, Turner and Brentnall, Joseph
Handfield, and Mrs. John Mackie are the principal landowners. The
Duke of Devonshire is lessee of the manor from the Duchy of
Lancaster.
New Mills is under the
control of an urban parish council whose district also includes
Beard, Ollersett, Thornsett, Whittle, and Newtown. The latter is
situated on the Cheshire side of the river and, under the Parish and
District Councils Act, forms a separate urban parish returning one
guardian. New Mills parish, embracing the rest of the urban sanitary
district, returns five guardians.
The village of New
Mills, or we might say the busy little town, is situated on the bank
of the river Goyt, from which the houses and factories rise tier
above tier on the hill side to a considerable height. It is eight
miles from Stockport, 11 miles from Buxton, and 43 miles from Derby.
It is skirted by the Manchester and Derby branch of the Midland
railway, and the London & North-Western line approaches within a
mile. The church, dedicated to St. George, was erected in 1831, at a
cost of £2,500. It is a handsome Gothic edifice comprising
nave, chancel, side aisles, and a pinnacled tower surmounted by a
lofty octagonal spire, but the interior aspect is somewhat
disappointing. The chancel is lighted by three tall single-light
lancet windows which have been filled with stained glass at the
expense of Mrs. Mackie. Windows of the same character, seven on each
side, light the nave and aisles. Two on the north side bear
representations of our Saviour and St. John the Baptist, and Moses
and Aaron. On a brass is inscribed “In memory of the Rev. John
Rigg, M.A., vicar of New Mills for 20 years, who finished his work
November 10th, 1868, aged 56 years. His parishioners and friends have
placed these windows to record their appreciation of his labours.”
Two on the south side are also memorials. On the north wall of the
nave, under the gallery, is a marble tablet inscribed “In
memory of James Ingham, Esq., J.P., of Watford villa, New Mills, who
departed this life, May 8th, 1868, aged 67 years,” and on a
brass underneath is “ The above tablet was erected by his
neighbours and friends in acknowledgement of the liberal support he
rendered to this church, and the Bequest of £500 contained in
his will, the interest of which is paid towards educating and
clothing the poor of this parish.” The Font, which stands in
the middle of the nave, is a beautiful piece of sculpture, erected by
the parishioners and tenants of Lord Egerton’s estate in
Lancashire, in memory of John Taylor, J.P. The living is a vicarage,
worth £300 yearly, with residence, in the gift of the Vicar of
Glossop, and held by the Rev. F. W. Newman, M.A.
The Church schools form
a pretty block of stone buildings, with teacher’s residence
attached. There are two departments, mixed and infants, with an
average attendance of 220.
The chapel-of-ease,
dedicated to St. James the Less, and the almshouses to which it is
attached, were erected in 1880, by the late John Mackie, Esq., J.P.,
and Mary his wife, in memory of the parents of the latter—the
late Mr. and Mrs. Ingham. The edifice consists of nave and apsidal
chancel, and is in the style of architecture that prevailed in the
latter part of the 13th century. In the apse are three lancet
windows, filled with stained glass from the studio of Mr. Kempe,
Beaumont street, London. A three-light window, with traceried head,
in the south wall, and two large two-light windows in the west wall,
are also pictorial. Frescoes by Mr. Powell, of Leeds, illustrating
events in the life of Our Lord, adorn the north wall. A beautiful
marble panel has been placed on the same side by Mrs. Mackie, in
memory of her late husband. The total cost of the church was £2,750.
The Ingham Almshouses
consist of six handsome cottages of stone, containing a good
sitting-room, a bedroom, and a small scullery. The houses are divided
by a covered porch, with pointed arches resting on circular pillars,
with sculptured capitals. In front is a beautifully laid-out piece of
garden ground. The church and almshouses occupy two sides of a
quadrangular plot of land adjoining Spring Bank.
The Catholic Church,
dedicated to St. Mary, occupies a commanding situation in High Lee.
It is a handsome edifice of stone, in the Decorative Gothic style,
erected in 1845-6 at a cost of £4,000, and comprises sanctuary
with a chapel on either side, nave, north and south aisles, south
porch, and western tower surmounted by a spire. The interior aspect
is solemn and impressive. The arcade on either side of the nave rests
on low, massive, octagonal columns ; and the noble chancel arch
springs from similar responds. The east window is a three-light one,
filled with stained glass representing scenes from sacred history.
Beneath this is the high altar, a very fine one of alabaster and
stone, given by Mr. Denis Lane, of London. Statues of various saints
adorn the walls, as well as a very fine set of stations of the Cross,
in high relief and richly coloured, against a back ground of gold. In
connection with the church is a day school, attended by about 80
children.
The Wesleyan Chapel, in
St. George’s road, erected in 1813, is a good stone building,
seated on an eminence and approached by a flight of 24 steps. A
gallery is carried round three sides, which increases the
accommodation to 340. The chapel is provided with an excellent organ,
built by Hardy, of Manchester, at a cost of £400. Adjoining the
chapel is a small cemetery. There is a large day school in connection
with the chapel, situated in High street. The Congregational Church,
in Chapel street, is a substantial building of cut stone, with Sunday
school and classrooms on the basement, erected in 1823. A gallery
surrounds it on three sides. The interior is furnished with open pews
of pitchpine to seat 500. There is another church belonging to the
same sect in Thornsett. The United Methodist Free Church, Spring
Bank, erected in 1892, at a cost of about £2,700, is a spacious
structure, lighted by semicircular-headed windows, and is furnished
throughout in polished pitchpine. There is sitting accommodation for
450. A handsome organ stands in a deep recess in the western gable,
beneath which is the rostrum upon an elevated platform. Adjoining the
church is the Sunday school, comprising one large room and four
classrooms.
The Primitive
Methodists have a chapel in Spring Bank, built in 1876 at a cost of
£2,700. It is a substantial edifice of stone in an attractive
style of architecture, and is furnished with open pews of pitchpine
to seat 350. On the basement are the Sunday school and classrooms.
They have another chapel in Thornsett, built in 1867 at a cost of
£2,900.
A School Board of seven
members was formed in 1876, and handsome and capacious schools have
been erected at Spring Bank, Hague Bar, and Thornsett. In addition to
providing an excellent elementary education, the Board has
established a technical department under the scheme of the Derbyshire
County Council.
The town has its Public
Hall and its Victoria Market Hall. The former was erected in 1870, by
public subscription, at a cost of over £2,000. The latter is
private property. There are several cotton mills, calico printing
works, engineering works, engraving works, and chemical works.
This district was
formerly known as Middlecale, and embraced a number of hamlets
extending from Kinderscout to the banks of the Goyt. In accordance
with manorial privilege all the inhabitants were compelled to grind
their corn at the common mill at Hayfield. About a century and a half
ago a re-arrangement of the hamlets took place, three being added to
Chinley, three to Hayfield, and the remainder, Beard, Ollersett,
Thornsett, and Whittle, were formed into a township. A new mill was
built on the river Sett, in the hamlet of Ollersett, and hence arose
the name New Mills.
Beard is a hamlet
extending southwards from New Mills. The surface is beautifully
diversified by hill and dale, and richly wooded. Hague Bar is a small
village on the Marple road. From the rising ground to the right there
is a beautiful view of the country on the Cheshire side of the river
Goyt. Ollersett hamlet stretches eastward from New Mills. Low
Leighton is a small village between New Mills and Hayfield. Here is
the Hayfield Union Workhouse. Here also is a Friends’ Meeting
House, erected in 1717, though there are no resident Friends in the
village. Coal and gritstone are worked in the district. Thornsett
hamlet extends N.E., and contains a portion of New Mills, including
the Parish Church, Congregational Chapel, Garrison Bleach Works, &c.
Coal is worked on a small scale. At the eastern extremity of the
hamlet on the border of Hayfield parish is Lantern Pike—a hill
of considerable altitude, commanding from its summit an excellent
bird’s-eye view of the surrounding district. A portion of Birch
Vale extends into Thornsett hamlet. Birch Vale House, the property
and residence of Thomas Bennett, Esq., J.P., is a substantial
structure, pleasantly situated on rising ground above the river Sett.
It is surrounded by four acres of pleasure grounds.
Rowarth is a scattered
village in this hamlet, a little N.W. of Lantern Pike. It was once a
busy little place, and could boast three or four cotton mills, but
the only industry now is a bleachworks. There is a United Methodist
Free Church. On a stone above the door is inscribed “ Sunday
school for children of all denominations, A.D. 1824.”
Whittle is another
hamlet in this township, extending N. and N.W. from New Mills.
