Colliers and Christianity: Religion in the Coalmining Communities COLLIERS AND CHRISTIANITY: RELIGION IN THE COALMINING COMMUNITIES OF SOUTH WALES AND THE EAST MIDLANDS c1860 TO 1930s WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON THE RHONDDA VALLEYS IN SOUTH WALES AND THE HUCKNALL AND SHIREBROOK AREAS IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE AND DERBYSHIRE MARGARET ELEANOR KIDGER, BA (Hons), MTh Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy JULY 2012 Wilford Parish Church, Nottingham Clifton Colliery in the background Undated photograph iii Abstract Many studies that have examined the issues of ‘secularisation’ and ‘religion and the working class’ have been based on large cities. This study, after first reviewing the debate on these issues, looks at institutional religion in coalmining communities in the East Midlands and South Wales from 1860 to the 1930s. It focuses particularly, though not exclusively, on Hucknall and Shirebrook in the East Midlands and the Rhondda Valleys in South Wales. The difficulties faced by the churches in providing for the needs of the rapidly growing mining communities are then outlined; the progress made by Nonconformity, Anglicanism and Roman Catholicism is examined and the contribution that the churches made to the lives of both church members and communities is assessed. The study also looks at the contribution of the miners themselves to institutional religion. The final chapter focuses on the inter-war years and assesses possible reasons for the widespread decline in religious commitment during that period and in so doing examines the extent to which the churches themselves may have inadvertently contributed to their own decline. Overall this study argues that institutional religion made a significant contribution, at least until 1914, to the life of the mining communities. It was mainly in the interwar period that, for a variety of reasons, secularisation in these working class communities increased. iv Acknowledgements I wish to thank my tutor Dr Frances Knight for her continual encouragement and support since the autumn of 2000 when I commenced a part-time MTh course in church history at the University of Wales in Lampeter. This course gave me the desire to continue with academic study. I am very grateful to Dr Knight for suggesting that I should seek to upgrade the MPhil thesis I was then researching to a PhD thesis. Needless to say her subsequent move to Nottingham has been very convenient for me! I am, however, also grateful to the academic staff at Lampeter, particularly for the residential courses they organised for part-time PhD students which were very helpful. I thank Lampeter too for its generosity in awarding me a grant sufficient to cover the fees for one academic year. Without the existence of Archives collections at Nottingham, Cardiff and Matlock, the Catholic Archives in Nottingham and the public libraries in the communities I have been researching, it would have been impossible to access the material I needed. I acknowledge particularly the staff at public libraries who have set up their microfilm readers to enable me to consult issues of local newspapers dating back to the relevant periods. My thanks also to the library staff at Regent’s Park College Oxford, the Congregationalist headquarters in Nottingham, the Wesley Centre at Oxford Brookes University and the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth for enabling me to consult the handbooks/ yearbooks/ Conference reports of the v Baptist, Congregationalist, Methodist and Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Churches for denominational statistical information. I am particularly grateful to the staff at the National Library of Wales; their knowledge of the Welsh language enabled me to make use of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist yearbooks written wholly in Welsh! The staff of the South Wales Miners’ Library at the University of Swansea were very helpful; I particularly valued the opportunity to study the transcripts of interviews of former miners. Also in Wales is the residential library of St Deiniol’s (now Gladstone’s Library) at Hawarden. This has provided me with a comfortable, peaceful environment in which to read, write and generally make progress with my work. My thanks also to the staff there and at the Hallward Library and the East Midlands Collection Library of the University of Nottingham for their help in locating and obtaining the necessary books and answering queries. The University has also provided excellent supporting facilities for PhD students, for which I am grateful. I have very much valued the cooperation I received from Rev Peter Gale, Vicar of Ystrad Rhondda. He not only let me borrow relevant minute books of St Stephen’s Church and St Cynon’s Church but also showed me the permanent damage that mining subsidence had caused at St Stephen’s, and he took my husband and myself for a tour of the upper Rhondda. Father David O’Donnell, parish priest of the Catholic Church in Tonypandy, also kindly gave me access to archival material held in his parish. vi I have appreciated the interest in my study and the encouragement I have received from fellow PhD student Margaret Turnham and from members of Wilford Parish Church, Nottingham, which I attend. I am grateful for the sum of £200 which I received from Wilford Church a few years ago to help with my research costs. I thank Wilford churchwardens Eddie Mason and Simon Massarella for allowing me to use an old photograph in the Church archives as my frontispiece and for providing the digital version and inputting it into my work. I also thank Roger Periam for constructing graphs from the data I provided, Laura Jarvis and Simon Massarella for their skill in adjusting these graphs to fit into my work and Simon Massarella for his help with printing. My greatest thanks are due to my husband Michael for his unfailing encouragement, support and very practical help in proof reading, constructive criticism, inputting all my statistical tables, and accompanying me on my visits to so many places in search of relevant material. Without his support this study could not have been completed. vii Abbreviations DRO Derbyshire Record Office GRO Glamorgan Record Office ILP Independent Labour Party NA Nottinghamshire Archives NLW National Library of Wales NMA Nottinghamshire Miners’ Association NMIU Nottinghamshire Miners’ Industrial Union NUM National Union of Mineworkers RC Roman Catholic SWMF South Wales Miners’ Federation SWMIU South Wales Miners’ Industrial Union SWML South Wales Miners’ Library viii Table of Contents Abstract iii Acknowledgements iv Abbreviations vii Table of Contents viii List of Graphs ix List of Tables x List of Illustrations xi Introduction 1 Chapter 1 The Key Issues Debated: A Literature Survey 8 Chapter 2 Coal Mining: Industry, Communities and the Challenges for the Churches 60 Chapter 3 The Strength of Nonconformity in the Two Coalfields Prior to 1914 100 Chapter 4 The Anglican Church in the Mining Communities 164 Chapter 5 The Roman Catholic Church 210 Chapter 6 1914 – 1918: The Watershed Years? 234 Chapter 7 The Inter-War Years and the Problems of Decline 259 Conclusion 326 Appendix Statistical Details for Individual Churches in the Rhondda 337 Bibliography 377 Total wordcount 95,221 (includes footnotes, appendix and bibliography) ix List of Graphs 3:1 Baptist Church Membership – Rhondda 1901 – 1937 125 3:2 Congregationalist Membership – Rhondda 1901 – 1937 126 3:3 Calvinistic Methodist Membership – Rhondda 1901 – 1937 127 3:4 Baptist Membership Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire 139 3:5 Congregationalist Membership Derbyshire and Notts 140 4:1 – 4: 9 Pie charts showing proportion of denominational membership in Rhondda parishes 1906 171 – 172 5:1 Roman Catholic Membership in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire 1921 – 1937 225 6:1 First World War Membership Statistics 249 7:1 – 7:7 Show membership statistics for 1905 – 1915 and 1925 – 1935 for both adults and Sunday school pupils so that they can be compared 7:1 Hucknall Baptist Church 263 7:2 Porth Tabernacle English Baptist Church 264 7:3 Hucknall Congregational Church 265 7:4 Shirebrook Congregational Church 266 7:5 Bodringallt Welsh Congregational Church 267 7:6 Porth English Congregational Church 268 7:7 Hucknall Anglican Church (Sunday school only) 269 x List of Tables 2:1 Mining Disasters in Rhondda Collieries 1856 – 1905 85 2:2 1881 Census (Selected Streets) Showing Proportion of Miners Born in Hucknall 92 3:1 Baptist Churches in Nottinghamshire – Membership Statistics 141 3:2 Baptist Churches in Derbyshire – Membership Statistics 143 3:3 Congregationalist Churches in Nottinghamshire – Membership 144 3:4 Congregationalist Churches in Derbyshire – Membership 145 3:5 Methodist Churches in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire – Adult Membership Statistics 146 4:1 Anglican Progress in the Rhondda Deanery 168 4:2 Llandaff Diocesan Statistics 1883 – 1896 174 4:3 The Anglican Church in Shirebrook 1885 – 1921 181 4:4 Anglican Statistics of some Mining Villages in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire 183 – 185 5:1 Roman Catholic Statistics, Hucknall and Shirebrook 227 6:1 Statistics of Individual Churches – First World War Period Calvinistic Methodist Churches – Rhondda 250 Congregationalist Churches – Rhondda 251 Congregationalist Churches – East Midlands 252 Baptist Churches – Rhondda 253 – 254 Baptist Churches – East Midlands 254 Anglican Sunday School Pupils – Nottinghamshire Mining Parishes 255 Appendix Tables of Rhondda Nonconformist Churches Grouped under Anglican Parishes, with Brief Details of Anglican Churches (Arranged in Alphabetical Order of Parish) 337 – 376 xi List of Illustrations

  • The Material Culture of Late Medieval Religion in Wales
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of South Wales Unit of Assessment: D30 Title of case study: The Material Culture of Late Medieval Religion in Wales 1. Summary of the impact Much of Madeleine Gray’s recent research focuses on the visual and material culture of religion in late-medieval and early modern Wales. This has led to invitations to work as a consultant on several major heritage and community regeneration projects as well as numerous public lecturing engagements, newspaper articles and appearances on network television, notably the BBC’s award-winning ‘The Story of Wales’. This media activity and heritage consultancy has repositioned the academic and wider public’s sense of Welsh identity away from the traditional focus on nonconformist chapel culture and towards a wider awareness of Wales’s European heritage. 2. Underpinning research Dr Gray’s underpinning research into the visual and material evidence for late medieval religion in Wales led to the publication of Images of Piety (submitted for RAE in 2001). This provided an overview of the evidence, setting it both in the wider European context and in the context of the evidence of medieval Welsh vernacular poetry (a very rich and comparatively unexplored source for religious belief). Many of her more recent publications in peer-reviewed journals and academic collections (some submitted for RAE in 2008) have focused on the material culture of medieval religion and the impact of the changes of the sixteenth century, developing and expanding on themes initially discussed in Images of Piety. She has also further developed the use of vernacular poetry to interpret the material evidence, a subject on which she is currently supervising a PhD thesis.

  • Railway and Canal Historical Society Early Railway Group
    RAILWAY AND CANAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY EARLY RAILWAY GROUP Occasional Paper 251 BENJAMIN HALL’S TRAMROADS AND THE PROMOTION OF CHAPMAN’S LOCOMOTIVE PATENT Stephen Rowson, with comment from Andy Guy Stephen Rowson writes - Some year ago I had access to some correspondence originally in the Llanover Estate papers and made this note from within a letter by Benjamin Hall to his agent John Llewellin, dated 7 March 1815: Chapman the Engineer called on me today. He says one of their Engines will cost about £400 & 30 G[uinea]s per year for his Patent. He gave a bad account of the Collieries at Newcastle, that they do not clear 5 per cent. My original thoughts were of Chapman looking for business by hawking a working model of his locomotive around the tramroads of south Wales until I realised that Hall wrote the letter from London. So one assumes the meeting with William Chapman had taken place in the city rather than at Hall’s residence in Monmouthshire. No evidence has been found that any locomotive ran on Hall’s Road until many years later after it had been converted from a horse-reliant tramroad. Did any of Chapman’s locomotives work on south Wales’ tramroads? __________________________________ Andy Guy comments – This is a most interesting discovery which raises a number of issues. In 1801, Benjamin Hall, M.P. (1778-1817) married Charlotte, daughter of the owner of Cyfarthfa ironworks, Richard Crawshay, and was to gain very considerable industrial interests from his father- in-law.1 Hall’s agent, John Llewellin, is now better known now for his association with the Trevithick design for the Tram Engine, the earliest surviving image of a railway locomotive.2 1 Benjamin Hall was the son of Dr Benjamin Hall (1742–1825) Chancellor of the diocese of Llandaff, and father of Sir Benjamin Hall (1802-1867), industrialist and politician, supposedly the origin of the nickname ‘Big Ben’ for Parliament’s clock tower (his father was known as ‘Slender Ben’ in Westminster).

  • Church in Wales Review July 2012
    Church in Wales Review July 2012 The September 2010 meeting of the Governing Body was notable for the number of contributions from members with a common message: “The Church in Wales cannot go on doing the same things in the same way; some things need to change and we are open to – and indeed encourage – that possibility”. The Standing Committee and Bench of Bishops responded to this call by appointing an external review of the Church, with particular reference to its structures and use of resources, to increase the effectiveness of the Church’s ministry and witness. The Review Group’s members are prominent thinkers with a blend of experience in dealing with matters ecclesiastical and organisational: Lord Harries of Pentregarth, the former Bishop of Oxford; Professor Charles Handy, the eminent writer and adviser on business and organisational theory (and son of a Church of Ireland archdeacon); and Professor Patricia Peattie, former Convenor of the Scottish Episcopal Church’s Standing Committee and the first chairwoman of the Lothian University Hospitals NHS Trust. The aim was to commission a review that could move quickly to gather and assimilate information about the state of the Church in Wales, then provide independent advice on how the Church might reshape itself to be more effective in the twenty-first century. Given the extent of its members’ other commitments, the Review Group has pursued its task with extraordinary vigour and dedication. The Group determined its own approach and programme. It has visited every diocese in Wales, meeting with the Bishop and Diocesan team in each and holding an open meeting for Church members to express their views.
