Acknowledgements 50 © Dr Michael Nevell: Heritage Statement: Former Quaker Chapel, Monyash, Derbyshire Dales, May 2020 Summary In April 2020 Dr Michael Nevell, archaeology consultant, was commissioned by Mr Neil Gould to produce a Heritage Statement for the Quaker Chapel, Monyash, Derbyshire Dales, an area that is part of the Peak District National Park (centred on NGR SK 14993 66703). The Quaker Meeting house was built in the period 1711 to 1717 and documentary and structural evidence indicates that it was adapted from an earlier cottage/farmhouse on this site. The building is a Grade II listed heritage asset and is situated on the northern side of the village of Monyash on Chapel Street, within the conservation area. This document has been produced to support a Planning Application for the conversion of the former community building into an open market priced house. This document aims to provide sufficient heritage information to allow the Peak District National Park Authority to determine the application. The relative significance of the building has been considered with reference to the four areas of heritage values outlined by Historic England (formerly English Heritage) in their Conservation Principles Policies and Guidance, and the Secretary of State’s criteria for assessing the importance of national monuments. However, this heritage appraisal should be read in conjunction with the plans and other technical reports which together comprise the application. The results of the heritage appraisal have concluded that the impact of the proposed works would be overall minor. It is considered that the proposed domestic conversion has an overall minor impact on the existing fabric of the former Quaker Chapel. Most of the external impact is negligible in terms of visual impact, and elsewhere is minor. The internal impact is regarded over all as minor to moderate, with a new internal staircase inserted, an earlier staircase removed, a leanto building rebuilt and the insertion of a first floor over most of the former meeting space in G1. The impact on the overall historic fabric is minor, affecting little of the significant decorative/vernacular features except for the insertion of the first floor in room G1 which is considered a moderate impact. © Dr Michael Nevell: Heritage Statement: Former Quaker Chapel, Monyash, Derbyshire Dales, May 2020 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Planning Background The Quaker Chapel lies on Chapel Street in the village of Monyash (SK 14993 66703), Derbyshire Dales. It was originally built as a farmhouse/cottage and converted in the years 1711 to 1717. It is a Grade II listed and is situated on the northern side of the village of Monyash, within the conservation area (DHER 1498552). It lies within the Peak District National Park. This document has been produced to support a Planning Application for the conversion of the former community building into an open market priced house. The purpose of the Heritage Statement is to comply with the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, February 2019) and the National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) in respect of heritage issues. This report sets out: • The relevant national and local heritage planning policies; • An historical background of the building, the site and surrounding area; • An appraisal of the historical significance of the building; • An assessment of the potential or actual impact of the proposed works on the significance of the building, surrounding heritage assets, including the nearby listed buildings. © Dr Michael Nevell: Heritage Statement: Former Quaker Chapel, Monyash, Derbyshire Dales, May 2020 2 2. Method Statement The principal objective of the heritage appraisal was to examine the history, development and significance of the building and through this to assess the impact of the proposed works on that significance. This was achieved by carrying out desk-based documentary research based on primary and secondary sources, including maps, drawings and reports. In addition, a visual inspection survey of the building and its environs was undertaken on 30 April 2020. The visual inspection was intended to provide the minimum of information needed to identify the building’s age, type, broad chronological development, and, crucially, significance; it was not intended to provide a detailed survey of the building. 2.1 Government and Local Planning Policies 2.1.1 National Planning Policy Framework The significance of the heritage resource identified within this report has been assessed as recommended in the revised National Planning Policy Framework (Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, February 2019). The NPPF sets out the Government’s planning policies and outlines the presumption in favour of sustainable development, which is defined by three principles: economic, social and environmental. Of the core planning principles underpinning decision making, conserving heritage assets ‘in a manner appropriate to their significance, so that they can be enjoyed for their contribution to the quality of life of existing and future generations’ is one. Section 16 specifically deals with this historic environment (paragraphs 184-202), and local planning authorities should consider: • the desirability of sustaining and enhancing the significance of heritage assets and putting them to viable uses consistent with their conservation; • the wider social, cultural, economic and environmental benefits that conservation of the historic environment can bring; • the desirability of new development making a positive contribution to local character and distinctiveness; and • opportunities to draw on the contribution made by the historic environment to the character of a place. Paragraph 189 states that local planning authorities, when determining applications, should require the applicant to describe the significance of any affected heritage assets, including any contribution made by their setting. ‘The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance. As a minimum the relevant historic environment record should have been consulted and the heritage assets assessed using appropriate expertise where necessary. Where a site on which development is proposed includes, or has the potential to include, heritage assets with archaeological interest, local planning authorities should require © Dr Michael Nevell: Heritage Statement: Former Quaker Chapel, Monyash, Derbyshire Dales, May 2020 3 developers to submit an appropriate desk-based assessment and, where necessary, a field evaluation’. Paragraph 196 states that where a development proposal will lead to less that substantial harm to the significance of a designated heritage asset, this harm should be weighed against the public benefits of the proposal including, where appropriate, securing its optimal viable use. Paragraph 199 states that local planning authorities should require developers to record and advance understanding of any heritage assets to be lost, in a manner appropriate to their importance and impact, and to make this evidence publicly accessible. 2.1.2 Local Development Framework NPPF outlines the need for local planning authorities to create local plans and frameworks to implement NPPF at a local level. The Peak District National Park adopted supplementary planning guidance on agricultural developments within the park in 2003 (PDNP 2003). In October 2011 the PDNP adopted a Local Development Framework Core Strategy. This stated in para 13.16 that: ‘Businesses are encouraged to re-use existing traditional buildings of historic or vernacular merit wherever possible. However, in line with national policy statements, more modern agricultural buildings may be re-used if development management criteria are satisfied. It may be possible to replace an existing building with a smaller new building, if siting and design can achieve enhancement. However, business use in existing or new isolated buildings in more remote areas of the countryside will not be permitted. Decisions will take full account of factors including the character of the surrounding landscape, the degree of separation from other buildings or settlements, and the nature of road access. Proposals to redevelop a business site or building in the open countryside for other uses are not likely to be acceptable unless enhancement can be achieved.’ Further guidance was provided in May 2019 when revised Development Management Policies were adopted. Pages 29 to 42 deal with the conservation and enhancing of cultural heritage assets within the Park (paras 3.43 to 3.48), including a section dealing with the identification of heritage assets and assessing the impact of development on designated and non-designated heritage assets and their settings (paras 3.49 to 3.65). Policies DMC5, DMC6, DMC7, DMC8 and DCM9 deal with the impact, respectively, of development on non-designated heritage assets, scheduled ancient monuments, listed buildings,

In mediaeval times, the clergy, monks and canons sang the eight daily offices standing in their stalls. By the tenth century the stalls were partly enclosed with wooden sides and backs to protect the occupants from the cold and draughts of an unheated building. The word "stall" means a place to stand. We still use the term in "cattle stalls". Although fold-up seats were introduced in the eleventh century, these could be used only for the Epistle and Gradual at Mass and the Responses at Vespers. By the twelfth century, small ledges on the undersides of seats were referred to as indulgences, or in Latin misericordia, meaning acts of mercy.

  • Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated.

  • Wright, Paul (2018) Anglo-Saxon Lead from the Peak District
    UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM Department of Archaeology ‘Anglo-Saxon lead from the Peak District; where does it lead? A new approach to sourcing Anglo-Saxon lead’ By Paul Wright, BSc., PhD. MRSC. Module MR4120 Dissertation presented for MSc (by research) in Archaeology September 2017 1 I certify that: a) The following dissertation is my own original work b) The source of all non-original material is clearly indicated c) All material presented by me for other modules is clearly indicated. d) All assistance has been acknowledged 2 ABSTRACT The lead industry, like others, declined and then collapsed at the end of Roman Britain and both the Romano-British and Anglo-Saxons recycled metal for a long period before fresh lead appeared. A new methodology has been developed, which uses tin as a marker for recycled Roman lead. Analysis of lead artefacts shows that along the Derwent/ Trent/ Humber corridor recycled Roman lead was continuing in use in the 5th-7th centuries, and plentiful fresh lead first appears in the record in the 9th century, with no tin. There is a widespread gap in artefacts from the 8th century, which implies that recycled lead had been exhausted. The main source of Anglo-Saxon lead in this region is probably the Derbyshire Peak District, but the lead isotope analysis is not definitive, due to the normal constraints such as the overlap of ore field signatures. Also the analytical method gives a broad peak, which reduces discrimination. The recent method of Pollard and Bray, which asks about what differences in lead isotope ratios show rather than provenance have been employed.

  • YOULGREAVE, MIDDLETON by YOULGREAVE, MONYASH We Had
    Today's Journeys by Michael and Patricia Spencer YOULGREAVE, MIDDLETON BY YOULGREAVE, MONYASH We had toyed with the idea of going to Ashbourne to see our grand daughter but had put that off because the family had mentioned shopping at Chesterfield, so we decided to go to Chelmorton Flagg area. We got the 6.1 out of Matlock towards Bakewell. Matlock is very busy right now with a new road by passing the town being constructed. So if you know Matlock on a good Summers day without the hold ups, and just the roundabout you can imagine the traffic jams being caused. I was glad I wasn't called in for Statute Duty. The Surveyor of the Highways would have to find a substitute if I had been. The driver manoeuvres carefully around cyclists in Darley Dale risking life and limb on a busy A6 while across the broad valley on the hillside the sleepy hamlet of Stanton Lees looks on, far from the madding crowd. Who had all gone to Bakewell to escape the chaos in Matlock. We had a good half hour or so to wait for our connection and it was going to be tricky trying to stay out of the shops, especially when Patricia noticed a sale at the first shop we pass after getting of the bus. "It's going to be hot today, we need to stock up on water, " I said. We go to a shop where supplies of the stuff have virtually run out. We look for a bowser. All this is nicely making the seconds tick away.

    markerstones for the millennium markerstones for the millennium Parish of Middleton and Smerrill CELEBRATING LANDSCAPE - DEVELOPING IDENTITY www.sitesofmeaning.org.uk markerstones for the millennium markerstones for the millennium About Sites of Meaning Sites of Meaning is a millennium project of Middleton and Smerrill in the Derbyshire Peak. It marks the seventeen entrances to its parish with boundary stones each inscribed with a text chosen by members of the parish. A public manifestation of private thoughts and feelings at the start of a new century. Started in 1999 and fi nished in 2006,Sites of Meaning was run by a team of parishioners who raised funds, Middleton by Youlgrave collected text for the inscriptions, commissioned stones from artists and masons, and installed the fi nished boundary markers. Over two hundred people took part in Sites of Meaning, including the local community and primary school, schools and colleges throughout the region, local and national artists and other professionals. At fi rst funding was raised more or less on a stone to stone basis. But as the project gathered momentum and the team gained experience and confi dence, larger funds were sought as projects were designed Longdale to involve more of the surrounding community. The Sculpture Residency in 2002 saw Amanda Wray carve a stone for site 8 in the village playground. Other Stones – Other Meanings explored local history and archaeology, and generated poetry through Youlgrave Primary School. InscribeNOW completed Sites of Meaning with a photographic residency and workshops, the generation of publicity and educational material, and a fi nal celebration re-uniting all those who have worked on Sites of Meaning.

  • The Growth of Geological Knowledge in the Peak District Trevor D
    The Growth of Geological Knowledge in the Peak District Trevor D. Ford Abstract: The development of geological knowledge in the Peak District from the 18th century to the present day is reviewed. It is accompanied by a comprehensive bibliography. Introduction lead miners made practical use of geological principles as early as the 17th century (Rieuwerts, Geology has changed in the last two centuries from 1984). In the 18th century the course of the initial a largely amateur “gentleman’s” science to a part of Cromford Sough followed the strike of the professional vocation. The results of professional limestone/shale contact where excavation was easier investigation in the Peak District have been built on through shale. The position of the contact was the amateur foundation and the works cited in this obtained by down-dip projection from the outcrop review demonstrate the change in approach. The showing that the soughers had some appreciation of Geological Survey commenced a professional concealed geology. The lead miners also used the approach in the 1860-1880 period, continued basic principles of stratigraphy and structure to during World War I and in the 1950s, but it was not predict whether or not they would intersect until the 1970s that some intensive economic toadstones in driving other soughs in the 18th investigations were pursued. The Geological century (Fig. 1). Survey’s activities in the 20th century were concurrent with the development of Geology Whilst most of the lead miners’ knowledge was Departments in the nearby Universities, where never written down, some of it has been preserved in research grew slowly after World War I and more the appendix to “An Inquiry into The Original State rapidly after World War II.
