TIDESWELL is a market town and parish 2½ miles north
from Miller's Dale station on the Ambergate and Manchester section
of the Midland railway, 7 north-north-west from Bakewell, 7 east-by-north
from Buxton and 157 from London, in the Western division of the county,
in the hundred of High Peak, Bakewell union, petty sessional division
and county court district, rural deanery of Buxton, archdeaconry of
Derby and diocese of Southwell. The town is supplied with water derived
from springs on Tideswell Moor, and lighted with gas from works on
the Buxton road, the property of the Tideswell Gas Company. The church
of St. John the Baptist is a cruciform building of stone, belonging
almost exclusively to the Decorated style of the latter half of the
14th century, consisting of an unusually large chancel, clerestoried
nave, aisles, transepts, a south porch with parvise, and a lofty embattled
tower at the west end, with battlemented turret-like pinnacles at
the angles, terminating in crocketed spirelets ; the tower contains
a clock with chimes, erected at a cost of over £300, and 6 bells,
the 4th of mediæval date, the 2nd, 3rd and 5th dating from 1659
: the chancel has three stone sedilia and a crocketed piscina, and
on the north side are two low arches ; the ancient stone reredos,
which stands 5 feet from the east window and is flanked on either
side by canopied niches with crocketed pinnacles, extends completely
across the east end and has a door on the north side leading to the
sacristy; there is also an elaborately carved oak reredos in the form
of a triptych immediately above the communion table : the stained
east window was inserted in 1876 by Cecil G. Savile Foljambe esq.
in memory of his 1st wife Louisa (Howard), d. 1871, and of
the Foljambe family, who were great benefactors to the church and
the Lady chapel in the 14th century : the innermost bay of the south
transepts was anciently the "Meveril" or, as it now called,
"De Bower Chapel ;" in its south wall is a high canopied
niche, with a piscina beneath it ; the adjoining chapel, being a continuation
of the south aisle, belonged to the manor of Litton or Lytton and
to the family of that name ; both these, as well as the other chapel
in the north transept, being once inclosed by a wooden parclose :
the portion of the north transept corresponding with the Litton chapel
appears to have belonged to the manor of Wheston, the transept proper
forming the Lady chapel or Guild chapel, and having a piscina in the
eastern wall : an ancient stone pulpit, or more probably some access
to the chancel screen, was removed in 1824, when a new western gallery
was built : the beams and principals of the nave and transept roofs
are part of the original roof of the Decorated period ; the rest has
been carefully renewed in oak and the whole covered with lead : the
font is an ancient octagon, carved with various devices : on the moulded
shafts in the jambs of the south doorway are two small incised crosses,
3 inches in length and bifurcated at the ends : the old chancel screen,
reduced in 1724, when a faculty was granted for the erection of a
gallery, has been successfully restored from plans by Mr. J. D. Sedding,
architect, of London, the cost being defrayed by a bequest of £300
by Mr. Harrop for this purpose : the earliest monuments in the church
are two effigies in the north transept,
both females and probably of the 14th century : on the north side
of the chancel is a slab with the effigy in brass of Sir Thomas Foljambe,
ob. 4 Aug. 1358, with arms and inscription, which has been
restored by his descendant, the present Mr. F. G. S. Foljambe ; three
other brasses of this family from 1283 to 1323, existing in the early
part of the 17th century, have disappeared : in the south transept
is a large raised tomb of stone and alabaster, with effigies to Sir
Thurstan de Bower and Margaret his wife ; the figures are clad in
the costume of the 14th century, the knight wearing a collar of SS,
and there is a marginal inscription and one recording the restoration
of the tomb and south transept in 1876 by J. Bower Brown esq. J.P.
of Woodthorpe Hall, Sheffield : in the centre of the chancel is a
large altar tomb to Sir Sampson Meverell, ob. 1462, the upper
slab of Purbeck marble bearing a variety of symbolical brasses with
inscriptions and an inscribed marginal ribbon of brass, comprising
a biography of the knight ; the lower portion or the tomb is open
and contains the effigy of an emaciated corpse, carved in stone, with
angels supporting the head : on the floor of the Litton chapel is
a brass to Sir Robert Lytton and his wife Isabella, with an inscription
(1458-83), and excavations have shown that the leaden coffins of both
rest immediately beneath the eastern portion of this chapel : westward
of the Foljambe tomb is the fine brass of Robert Pursglove or Silvester,
prior of Gisburne and seventh and last provost of Rotherham College,
dissolved about 1550, and consecrated suffragan Bishop of Hull in
1538, ob. 1579 ; the figure is in eucharistic vestments bearing
a pastoral staff on the left shoulder and below is a doggrel epitaph
of later date ; the corners of the slab bear evangelistic symbols,
and there is a marginal inscription, dated 1579 ; in the south transept
is a monument to Capt. Thos. Statham, an officer of cavalry with Charles
I. during the civil war, and immediately below is the vault in which
many of this family were buried : the restoration of the church has
been going on since 1874 and is still (1890) incomplete : in 1884
new oak seats for the choir were placed in front of the chancel screen
and a fine oak reredos, communion table and oak eagle lectern erected
: a small desk and chair, finely carved, have been executed and presented
to the vicar by Mr. Advent Hunstone, of Tideswell, who has also been
employed on the carved work of the organ screen and that of the north
transept : there are 800 sittings. The register dates from the year
1635. The living is a rectory, tithe rent-charge £159, gross
yearly value £270, with 121½ acres or glebe and residence,
in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield, and held since 1864
by the Rev. Samuel Andrew M.A. of St. Bees and of St. John's College,
Cambridge, prebendary of Southwell, rural dean of Buxton and surrogate.
There is a parish library of 200 volumes. The small Catholic chapel
here is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Congregational
chapel, built in 1888, affords 300 sittings ; the old chapel is now
used as a school. The Wesleyan chapel, built in 1889, has 250 sittings.
The Primitive Methodist chapel will seat 150. There is a police station,
with 4 cells for prisoners. The inhabitants are partly employed in
agriculture, some in weaving and others in the
neighbouring cotton mills and stone quarrying. Lime kilns and stone
quarries are in the neighbourhood : the lead mines are for the present
closed. A market, to be held on Wednesdays, was granted as early as
the year 1250 to Paulinus Bampton, and is still held on that day,
a cattle market being held the second Wednesday in every month, and
fairs on March 24th, May 15th, last Wednesday in July, second Wednesday
in September, and October 29th, for cattle, horses and sheep. Bishop
Pursglove directed that any sums remaining over, from time to time,
out of the income of the Grammar School, after paying the master and
providing for keeping the farms and premises in proper repair, should
be distributed in doles to the poor and needy of the parish of Tideswell
and especially to such as should be "aged, impotent, blind, lame
and most needy ;" a new scheme for the management of this charity
received the royal assent on the 12th August, 1876, by which the fixed
sum of £50 a year is directed to be given away to the poor,
in doles. The Rev. Francis Gisborne, rector of Staveley, left a sum
of money in 1818 to be invested and the interest yearly applied in
the purchase of flannel for the poor of certain parishes in Derbyshire,
and directed that the incumbents of the parishes, or in their absence
or through their failing to act, the churchwardens should distribute
the same according to their discretion : £6 15s. is yearly paid
to this parish and regularly given away by the vicar. Miss Downes,
of Sheffield, by her will in the year 1811, left £100 to the
poor of Tideswell ; this sum is received in the month of February,
but advanced by the vicar in order to make the dole on the 1st of
January. Hodgkinson's charity, paid by the Duke of Devonshire K.G.
amounts to £1 15s. a year, and is expended in flannel for the
poor. In 1736 Nathaniel Hammersley left £100, the interest of
which was then £5 a year, and directed the same to be applied
as follows :-£3 12s. to the vicar, £1 4s. to be expended
in bread for the poor, and 4s. to the sexton ; the amount was invested
in the Sheffield Turnpike Trust, and by a vote of the vestry £36
has been accepted as a composition. Ann Rossington left by will, in
1737, £20 to the poor; William Holmes £60, to be given
in bread, and some person unknown £20. This was also invested
in the Sheffield Turnpike Trust and a composition of £36 accepted.
Robert Mellor left by will in 1736 the sum of 10s. a year, to be distributed
on Christmas eve. Bagshaw Hall, situated in the Market square, and
erected in 1872, at a cost of about £2,000, on a site given
by the Duke of Devonshire, was the gift of the late John Bagshaw esq.
of Tideswell, to the "Humane Friendly Indefatigable Union Society,"
established in 1764 and of which he was a member, its object being
the relief of sickness and payment of funeral expenses of members
; it is a fine building of limestone in the Italian style ; the hall
itself is about 50 foot long,. 36 wide and 21 high, and has a gallery
supported by five arches : there are reading and committee rooms,
a large platform, and an illuminated clock over the entrance : since
the death of Mr. Bagshaw the residuary legatee has claimed the hall
and taken possession of it under the Mortmain Act. The town is considered
extremely healthy, and is seated in a valley nearly surrounded by
bleak and naked hills, with a clear stream of water running through
it, furnished by the overflow of the reservoir from which the inhabitants
are supplied. The ebbing and flowing well, from which it is asserted
the town took its name, is still in existence, but has long ceased
to ebb. Upon the summit of the hill near the town is a stone of rude
workmanship, embedded in the earth, with a deep socket, in which a
cross was inserted. In the vicinity is Monsal Dale, celebrated for
its romantic scenery and picturesque beauty. Eccles Hall, the residence
of the Rev. Walter Coombe M.A. is situated near the church. The Duke
of Devonshire K.G. is lord of the manor and principal landowner. TIDESWELL DALE, leading to Litton Mill, is a romantic spot, diversified with huge rocks, covered with luxuriant ferns and surrounded with a tangle of bushes, through which runs a small stream. About 500 yards above the town on the west side is a hill called "Summer Cross," affording an extended view ; about half-a-mile north, on the same ridge, is Weston Bank, whence, on a clear day looking west, the hills above Buxton and the famous Axe Edge can be sighted : south-west, are Hindlow, Chelmorton Low, Priestcliffe Low and Taddington church : to the south is Stang Wood, above Stanton village, a distance of about 13 miles, and Haddon Hall, nearer to Bakewell, Colton pastures being also in view : south-east a fine view is obtained of Curbar and Froggatt Edge, and above Great Hucklow can be traced a road, which many years ago was the great coaching road from Cheshire to Yorkshire, along the Sir William hills, with a descent of three miles to Grindleford Bridge ; this road is now little traversed and is nearly overgrown with grass : far to the east can be seen Winnil Knowl, beyond it Hope; a little to the right Bamford Edge, with the spire of Bamford church and Stanedge Pool on the same range, near Redmere dams, which supply Sheffield with water; somewhat to the left of Winnil Knowl can be seen Loose Hill, further beyond, the Woodland Hills and the top of Mam Tor : to the north lies Coombs Mast, beyond this Chapel-en-le-Frith and Rushop Edge ; while on the way from Tideswell to Litton-about mid-way-is a grand view of Taddington Hills, Great Fin and Sheldon ; the Wheeton Bank is a favourite resort of tourists in the summer season. The soil is loamy and light, on limestone. The area of Tideswell is 3,160 acres ; rateable value, £4,793; population in 1881 was 1,985; and of the parish 2,830 ; area of the parish 10,351 acres. The parish embraces the hamlets of LITTON, CRESSBROOK, WHESTON and MILLER'S DALE. Litton (or LYTTON), a township, hamlet and village, is three-quarters of a mile east from Tideswell. The base of an old cross occupies the centre of the village. Divine service is conducted here every Sunday and Wednesday evenings in the Church National school-room, by the vicar of Tideswell and his assistants, and there is a Wesleyan chapel. The charities amount to 7s. 6d. yearly. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in agriculture and stone and lime quarrying. The principal landowners are Lord Scarsdale, who is lord of the manor, and the Duke of Devonshire K.G. The soil is light, on limestone, and is chiefly in grass. The area is 1,639 acres; rateable value, £2,374 ; the population in 1881 was 727, including Cressbrook. Cressbrook, a village in the township of Tideswell, is two miles south from Litton and three south from Tideswell ; here in a glen on the banks of the Wye are the extensive cotton mills carried on by the Cressbrook Mill Co. Limited ; the inhabitants are principally employed in the mills. Here is a mission church, with a turret containing 2 bells, in connection with Tideswell church : divine service is held here every Sunday : there are 150 sittings. Cressbrook Hall is an Elizabethan stone mansion, on the rather steep slope of a well-wooded mountain side, on the banks of the Wye and surrounded by pleasure grounds, about a mile north-west from Monsal Dale station on the Midland railway. Wheston is a township and hamlet, 1½ miles west. Here is an ancient stone cross, 7 feet in height, on a pedestal 4½ feet high and richly and curiously carved. Newton's charity amounts to £5 yearly. The Duke of Devonshire K.G. who is lord of the manor, Thomas Shaw Ashton and Samuel Howe, of Woodley, Stockport, esqrs. are the principal landowners. The area is 1,394 acres ; rateable value, £995 ; the population in 1881 was 73. Miller's Dale is a hamlet partly in the parish of Wormhill and partly in this parish, with a station on the Midland railway ; a fine iron viaduct supported by massive stone piers, about 100 feet high, carries the Midland railway over the river Wye and the road and forms a boundary between the two parishes. About a mile from the station, by the river side, in the direction of Cressbrook, are the ex-extensive [sic] mills till recently occupied by Messrs. Wood and Brearley, manufacturers of quilts and toilet covers, but now closed. Miller's Dale school church, erected in 1880 is a chapel of ease to Tideswell, is a building of stone in the Gothic style, with a tower containing a clock which chimes the quarters : there are sittings for 120 persons. Chee Tor, a huge rock rising from the valley of the Wye to the height of 350 feet, is near this place. Parish Clerk, Edwin Slater. POST, M. O. & T. O., S.
