| GLOSSOP
(or Glossop Dale) is a municipal borough, market and union town,
head of a county court district and petty sessional division, township
and parish, on the borders of Cheshire, with a station, 192½ miles
by rail from London by Great Northern railway, 9½
from Ashton, 24½ from Barnsley, 87 from Birmingham, 65
from Burton, 47 from Chesterfield, 58 from Derby, 41 from Doncaster,
87 from Leicester, 34 from Leek, 47 from Liverpool, 73¾ from
Lincoln, 13 from Manchester, 20 from Macclesfield, 74 from Nottingham,
30 from Sheffield, 66¼ from Stafford, 10½ from
Staleybridge, 11 from Stockport, 53 from Uttoxeter and 72 from
Wolverhampton. It is in High Peak hundred and High Peak division
of the county, rural deanery of Glossop, archdeaconry of Derby
and diocese of Southwell. The Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire
Railway Company's main line from Manchester to Sheffield is carried
across Dinting Vale on a lofty viaduct of sixteen arches, constructed
of stone, about a mile west from the Town hall, and there is
a branch line from Dinting to Glossop and Hadfield. The parish
contains the townships of GLOSSOP DALE, HADFIELD, PADFIELD, WHITFIELD,
CHARLESWORTH, SIMMONDLEY, DINTING, CHUNAL, LUDWORTH and CHISWORTH. The borough is divided into three wards, viz. : All Saints, Hadfield and St. James'. The corporation consists of a mayor, 6 aldermen and 18 councillors, who act as the Urban Sanitary authority. The borough has a commission of the peace and a police force. The water supply, derived from Peaknase moors, is collected in reservoirs at Swineshaw. The town is supplied with gas by a company formed in 1845. Portions of the old parish of Glossop All Saints, have been taken to form the ecclesiastical parishes of Whitfield, St. James'; Hadfield, St. Andrew's, and Dinting, Holy Trinity. The ancient parish of Glossop also contains the old chapels of Hayfield and Mellor, the new parish churches of Charlesworth and New Mills, Whitfield, and the new district church of Limedale, comprising the townships of Chinley, Bugsworth and Brownside. The ancient parish church of All Saints was pulled down in 1830. The present church is a modern edifice of stone, in the Early Gothic style, consisting of a chancel, nave, surrounded on three sides by galleries, aisles, south porch, vestry, organ chamber, erected in 1877, and a western tower with spire, containing a clock and 8 bells, re-hung in 1877 and a chiming apparatus attached, at a cost of £180; the spire was rebuilt in 1856: the stained east window is a memorial to a late Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, Robert Shepley esq. and John Wood esq. former benefactors : the old church plate bears date 1745, but in 1877 a new set of plate was contributed by the parishioners : in 1886 the nave was reseated with open benches by Daniel Wood esq. of Moorfield : the churchyard was closed against interments, with modifications, in 1857-8. The register dates from the year 1620. The living is a vicarage, average tithe rent-charge £283, net yearly value £270, with residence, in the gift of Lord Howard of Glossop, and held since 1889 by the Rev. Adam Pyle Hamilton-Wilson, of Cambridge University. The Rev. Christopher Howe, vicar 1793 to 1849, and for 40 years also incumbent of Woodhead, Cheshire, established a day school at Glossop, in which he personally taught, and partly rebuilt the parish church ; he died 1st Sept. 1849, in the 85th year of his age and the 57th of his vicariate of Glossop. Mr. Charles Winterbottom, for upwards of 60 years sexton and clerk of the parish of Glossop, died at the age of nearly 88 years. The Primitive Methodist chapel, Shrewsbury street, built 1855, has 730 sittings ; the Unitarian chapel, Fitzalan street, built about 1873, 300 sittings; the Free Methodist chapel, Hall street, built in 1860, 450 sittings: there is also a Wesleyan chapel, in High street west, built 1860, with 1,500 sittings and one in Wesley street, built in 1813, with 400 sittings. The Catholic chapel, dedicated to All Saints, a building in the Classic style, situated near Glossop Hall, was erected by Bernard Edward Duke of Norfolk, in 1837, and consists of chancel, nave and a belfry, containing one bell: over the altar is a fine copy of Domenichino's "Communion of St. Hyronome," the original of which is in the Vatican ; there are also valuable paintings representing the twelve apostles: there are 350 sittings. There is a cemetery of 6 acres, formed in 1859, with mortuary chapels and under the control of a burial board of 9 members. The Town Hall, with the Market House, was considerably enlarged in 1854. The Free Library and Public Hall, Fauvel road, erected in 1887 by Herbert Rhodes esq. and Captain Edward Partington, at a cost of about £4,400, on a site given by Lord Howard of Glossop, is a building of stone in the Gothic style, containing a reading room and library of 530 volumes, lecture hall and a public hall: over the main entrance a tower with pinnacles rises to a height of about 80 feet. There are Conservative and Liberal clubs, each having news and recreation rooms. The Public Baths, Howard Park, erected in 1887, by Samuel Wood esq. and Mrs. Wood, of Talbot House, at a cost of about £15,000, comprise a swimming bath, four private baths for males and a like number for females, and vapour and Turkish baths: the buildings include a ventilating tower 100 feet high. Two newspapers are published here on Friday. Here are cotton manufactories, and in the neighbourhood, calico printing establishments and paper mills: some of the former, and especially those of Messrs. John Wood and Bros. Limited, and Messrs. Francis Sumner and Co. Limited, are very extensive, employing in ordinary times from 5,000 to 6,000 workpeople. The first cotton mill was erected about the year 1784, but previously to this a few woollen factories and fulling mills had been in operation ; one of these, The Gnathole mill, now covered with ivy, still remains, but it is at present (1891) unoccupied. At Dinting Vale are the large calico printing works developed by the skill and energy of the late Mr. E. Potter, and now carried on by Messrs. E. Potter and Co. Hurst brook and Whitfield brook, two feeders of the Etherow, take their rise on the adjacent moors ; the water of the latter possesses bleaching properties, which was taken advantage of in establishing the works at Charlestown. There are quarries producing building and paving stone. The principal market day is Saturday. Fairs are held on the 6th May, also the first Wednesday on or after the 10th day of October, for the sale of horses and cattle. The L, M & N Companies of the 4th Volunteer Battalion, Cheshire Regiment, have head quarters in the town. There are charities of £60 yearly value, distributed among the poor on St. Thomas' day, in money and clothing, by two representatives of the eight original hamlets of Glossop Dale. The Wood's Hospital, Howard Park, founded and endowed in 1887, by Daniel Wood esq. of Moorfield, at a cost of about £6,000, the endowment fund being £19,000, is a structure of brick, cased externally with stone, and comprises two male and two female wards, holding about 16 patients, with kitchens &c. and an administrative block, containing the offices, store rooms &c.: to the west of the hospital is a detached laundry, with lodge keeper's residence. Howard Park, North road, formed in 1887, at the joint expense of Lord Howard of Glossop, Samuel Wood esq. and Mrs. Wood, of Talbot House, is situated on an eminence, commanding a fine view of the town and neighbourhood ; it is about 12 acres in extent. At Old Cross, Old Glossop, are the remains of an ancient stone cross, about 10 feet in height and still in a fair state of preservation. Glossop Hall, the seat of the Right Hon. Lord Howard of Glossop, is a noble building, in the style of a French Château of the 18th century, and stands on gently rising ground above Howard Town, surrounded by trees : it was much enlarged and improved by Henry Charles, 13th Duke of Norfolk, grandfather of the present owner. The town and hamlets now comprising the manor of Glossop appear to have been divided in the time of Edward the Confessor into several parts among different Saxon proprietors, but in the Domesday Survey the whole of Glossop is put down as forfeited to the Crown ; and the Conqueror afterwards gave it to his natural soil, William Peveril, whose son Richard, however, being disinherited by Henry I. Glossop was again confiscated to the Crown, and in 1157 was granted by Henry II. together with the advowson of the church to the Abbey of Basingwerke, "in free and perpetual alms for ever," and this abbey had acquired before the 15th century nearly all the hamlets now comprising the Glossop estate; Glossop remained the property of Basingwerke Abbey till the dissolution of the lesser abbeys in 1536, when Henry VIII. seized it with other conventual property and afterwards granted it to the Earl of Shrewsbury, who in turn exchanged it with the Duke of Norfolk for estates in Ireland, and in this noble family it has remained to the present time: the present proprietor, lord of the manor and principal landowner, is the Right Hon. Lord Howard of Glossop J.P. cousin to the present Duke of Norfolk. The land is partly moor and pasturage. The acreage is 40,136, being one of the largest parishes in England; of the township, 18,432; rateable value, £18,971; the population of the township in 1881 was 6,153 ; the population within the municipal borough in 1881 was 19,574 ; Glossop Dale population in 1881 was 21,393, including 4 officers and 61 inmates in the workhouse.
