DEDICATION I Would Like to Dedicate This Book to the Memory of All Those Faithful Members and Ministers Who Have Served Their Lo DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this book to the memory of all those faithful members and ministers who have served their Lord and this Church over the years; to those who are with us today, serving faithfully and belonging to the Church family; and to those countless others who will follow on. To God be the Glory! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to place on record my indebtedness to Ruth Abbott, who has devoted so much of her time to painstakingly type out this manuscript, for creating order out of the chaos I gave her, and for making the entire thing both presentable and readable. Thank you Ruth for your patience! And to my good friend Michael Lucas for his proof reading. To the Rochdale Local Studies Library for the loan of several photographs (and patience with my unending questions!). To several church members for the loan of their personal photographs. And to my old and valued friend Derek Eaton, for his expertise and advice regarding the printing of this book.

Our honest sexton tells- “’Tis a tall building, with a tower and bells!” So said the author George Crabbe in the early part of the 18th century. But I would strongly disagree with him, and I hope that by the time you have read what follows this Foreword, you will disagree with him too! Because a church, this church or any church, has very little to do with towers or bells and everything to do with people! And I speak with the authority and experience of someone who has the privilege of being the minister of a church where people matter. ‘Twas ever so at Bamford Chapel. As you read this amazing story of the birth, growth, and development of Christ’s body here in Bamford, you can only, as I have been in writing it, be amazed at the faith and the fortitude, the courage and the convictions of so many saints. Because “saints”, they most surely have been. From those days in the late 18th century, when a few people gathered in Ralph Holt’s home, through times of typhoid and cholera, and the Industrial Revolution and the heyday of the Sunday School, to the 20th century with its world wars and the consequent cynicism and doubting of so many, Bamford Chapel has stood here at the centre of the local community. Indeed to rephrase another author: “Before Bamford began, the Chapel already was!” On at least two modern maps that I have seen, there is no sign of the Chapel! But Bamford Chapel has made its mark on many more things than local street maps. Many thousands of people have had cause to thank God for the influence this church has had on so many lives, both young and old. Here, within this sanctuary, generations have worshipped, many individuals have heard God’s call to them, and people have been served and helped, healed and restored, strengthened and comforted, blessed and inspired. My wife, my children, and I have so much to be thankful for as regards Bamford Chapel. And we have only been members of this local Church for just over four years! How much more some of you, who have worshipped and witnessed here for much longer, should have cause to thank God for what you have known and experienced. Margaret and I still find Bamford Chapel hard to take in. Because it really is so different from the average church. And we have spent all of our lives and ministry in those average churches, where members struggle each week to keep the doors open, where there are few if any children, where the church at present is but a shadow of what it used to be, and where the future seems very dark, and at times almost non-existent. So please share in this story of Bamford Chapel. Because you are part of it. It has, with the influence of the Holy Spirit, changed thousands of lives, including yours. And ours! To God be the glory! Rev David Wiseman January 2001 1. STORY OF BAMFORD CHAPEL It really all began with a wedding. Two leading families in this part of Lancashire in the late 18th century were the Kays and the Fentons. The Kays were a major force in the Independent Chapels in Lancashire, particularly around Ramsbottom and Bury, whilst the Fentons had been landowners in Bamford for well over 200 years. And in 1789, Joseph Fenton, aged 24, of Crimble Farm married Ann Kay, then of Limefield House in Bury. Until this time, the Fentons had worshipped at St Luke’s Church in Heywood, and many of the family were baptised, married and buried there. The Kays, who had made their fame and fortune out of cotton, had been instrumental in founding the Park Congregational Church in Ramsbottom in 1798, and with the encouragement of Robert Kay (Ann’s brother), the Rev Benjamin Holmes of Ramsbottom began preaching at Ashworth in 1796. Two years later, Robert Kay encouraged John Windsor of Bury to preach in and around Heywood. No doubt, these areas were very familiar to Mr Kay, as he came to visit his sister, Ann Fenton, now living at Crimble. In November 1799, John Windsor requested that Thomas Hackin, an itinerant preacher from Ossett in Yorkshire should join him at Heywood, and for some time, Mr Hackin preached twice every Sunday. The new group of Independent worshippers tried to erect a chapel, but because of local opposition in Heywood, their meeting room was taken away, and the number of hearers diminished. As no other room could be obtained in Heywood, Robert Kay proposed that the worshippers in Ashworth and Heywood be united in one congregation, and Bamford was chosen as a central spot. A house was obtained in Bamford by Mr Kay to be used both as a Sunday School and a temporary preaching place. During this time, Mr Hackin continued to visit the area, often linking his visit to Bamford with one to the nearby village of Spotland. During 1800, Mr Hackin gained permission from Ralph Holt of Bamford, to preach in his barn, and later in his house, so that soon, services were being held twice during the week and up to four times every Sunday. Mr Holmes continued with his work at Ashworth, and by October 1800, it was deemed more necessary than ever to erect some local place of worship. And so it was, that in January 1801, a subscription fund was started, to raise money for the building. Mr and Mrs Joseph Fenton, who by now had moved to Bamford Hall, gave a portion of their land at Butterworth Fold, and building began almost immediately. 1801 George III was in his 41st year as King, William Pitt resigned after 17 years as Prime Minister. Lord Nelson sank the Danish fleet at the Battle of Copenhagen. Rochdale numbered 11,000 inhabitants. Heywood numbered 4,283. We need to pause and recall what local living conditions were like in 1801. There were very few people living in Bamford, roads as we know them were unknown, and people existed without benefit of gas or water supplies. The road from Rochdale to Bury was by way of Broadhalgh, Arthur Pitts, Diggles’, Dixon Fold, Hollin Lane, behind Bamford Hall to Simpson Clough, then by way of Grizlehurst through Birtle. There was no post, no newspapers, no radio or telephone, and very few means of communication. The stagecoach between Rochdale and Manchester had only begun in 1790. The journey by coach to London took five days. Highwaymen were a common threat. Extreme poverty was the norm, very few people could read or write, and the majority of the local population earned their living by working on the land or spinning wool or cotton at home. The small cottages where people lived were barely furnished, and conditions that we take for granted two centuries later, like health, education and holidays, books, schools and shops were unknown. Illness and disease were rife, and life was hard. The “Evangelical Magazine” for 1801 gave the following account: “On Wednesday, September 30th, a small, neat chapel was erected and was opened at Bamford, near Rochdale, in Lancashire. Mr Ely of Bury introduced the service by prayer and reading the Scriptures. Mr Littlewood of Rochdale gave thanks unto God for the erection of this house for His service, and prayed for the successful dispensation of the Gospel therein. Mr Roby of Manchester, preached from Psalm 26.8, and Mr Blackburn of Delph from 1 Corinthians 1.23. Mr Coles of Stand concluded. The erection of this chapel was occasioned principally by the successful itinerant labours of Mr Hackin. The expense is defrayed by the liberal subscriptions of a few individuals.

  • The Theological Socialism of the Labour Church
    ‘SO PECULIARLY ITS OWN’ THE THEOLOGICAL SOCIALISM OF THE LABOUR CHURCH by NEIL WHARRIER JOHNSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The thesis argues that the most distinctive feature of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder, John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for members of the Labour Church, who are referred to throughout the thesis as Theological Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about God working through the Labour movement. By focussing on Theological Socialism the thesis challenges the historiography and reappraises the significance of the Labour

  • The Labour Party and the Idea of Citizenship, C. 193 1-1951
    The Labour Party and the Idea of Citizenship, c. 193 1-1951 ABIGAIL LOUISA BEACH University College London Thesis presented for the degree of PhD University of London June 1996 I. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development and articulation of ideas of citizenship by the Labour Party and its sympathizers in academia and the professions. Setting this analysis within the context of key policy debates the study explores how ideas of citizenship shaped critiques of the relationships between central government and local government, voluntary groups and the individual. Present historiographical orthodoxy has skewed our understanding of Labour's attitude to society and the state, overemphasising the collectivist nature and centralising intentions of the Labour party, while underplaying other important ideological trends within the party. In particular, historical analyses which stress the party's commitment from the 1930s to achieving the transition to socialism through a strategy of planning, (of industrial development, production, investment, and so on), have generally concluded that the party based its programme on a centralised, expert-driven state, with control removed from the grasp of the ordinary people. The re-evaluation developed here questions this analysis and, fundamentally, seeks to loosen the almost overwhelming concentration on the mechanisms chosen by the Labour for the implementation of policy. It focuses instead on the discussion of ideas that lay behind these policies and points to the variety of opinions on the meaning and implications of social and economic planning that surfaced in the mid-twentieth century Labour party. In particular, it reveals considerable interest in the development of an active and participatory citizenship among socialist thinkers and politicians, themes which have hitherto largely been seen as missing elements in the ideas of the interwar and immediate postwar Labour party.

  • A History of Women in the Civil Service
    A History of Women in the UK Civil Service This paper draws heavily on research carried out by Bea Morgan when working with Home Office Women. She now works in DCMS where she can be emailed at [email protected] . Bea in turn acknowledges the support of her partner who passed on her love of history and gave Bea confidence in herself, and also the support of Home Office Women who allowed her time to carry out this research. The 1700s and Early 1800s The general view in this period was that women should remain passive and docile and in the home, where she would be treated as subordinate to men. Any woman away from the domestic sphere and not behaving in this way was considered to be unfeminine and therefore in moral danger. Women were considered to be not much more than children with decisions made for them by fathers; husbands and when a woman was in service, her employers. There were few opportunities open to women at the time and these would have been limited to; governess; needlework; mill industry; laundry and domestic service. All work required women to be unmarried except for factory or home working for the working classes. The title of Mrs for the cook in a large household was an honorary title. Work was not considered a possibility for middle class married women. In the lower classes, married women did work, of necessity, in the mills and factories or take in ‘home working’, which would include making matchboxes, needlework or laundry. Where women did work they were considered to be a cheap and flexible labour force.

THE GROWTH OF THE COTTON INDUSTRY AND SCOTTISH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, 1780-1835. ABSTRACT This study is intended, first of all, to be an examination of the growth of the cotton industry in Scotland from 176*0 to 1835. During this period, it became the largest and most important sector of the Scottish industrial economy, producing over 70% of the country's exports by value. There is, however, a subsidiary problem, that of placing the industry's growth within the general context of Scottish economic development in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The choice of terminal dates was to some extent dictated by the availability of material.

  • Chemical Glasgow and Its Chemical Entrepreneurs, 1760–1860
    MAX-PLANCK-INSTITUT FÜR WISSENSCHAFTSGESCHICHTE Max Planck Institute for the History of Science 2015 PREPRINT 472 John R. R. Christie Chemistry through the ‘Two Revolutions’: Chemical Glasgow and its Chemical Entrepreneurs, 1760–1860 Chemistry through the ‘Two Revolutions’: Chemical Glasgow and its Chemical Entrepreneurs, 1760-1860* John R. R. Christie University of Oxford Introduction The principal focus of this essay, the town of Glasgow and the chemical works of St. Rollox, is local, but has a general resonance, for St. Rollox has at times been regarded as a paradigmatic case of industrialized chemical production within the encompassing orbit of the Industrial Revolution. Here, inarguably it seems, are to be found the kinds of research-based, knowledge-induced technical innovation, entrepreneurship, growth rates, scale transformations, employment and wage patterns, which allow assimilation to some or other historiographical normativity of industrialization, at least in British terms. One may note in passing here, that although St. Rollox’ development is known well enough in outline, and with some quantified information, this is not known directly from archives of company records, or from any detailed history of the company, for few such records, if they still exist, are currently available to the historian.1 Information is derived rather from sources such as the New Statistical Account of Scotland, and other contemporary observers.2 Some informal local or parish histories, and biographical and family- history treatments of the two principal figures of the early history of St. Rollox, Charles Tennant and Charles Macintosh are also useful. The most recent and conceptually sophisticated, albeit relatively brief treatment of St.
