Memorial Inscriptions the Parish Church St Mary, the Virgin Deane Memorial Inscriptions Memorial AtInscriptions At The Parish Church The ParishOf Church Of StSt Mary,Mary, TheThe VirginVirgin Deane Deane BoltonBolton (Second Edition 2018) (Second Edition 2018) PREFACE This edition of the Monumental Inscriptions of Deane Church has been transcribed from an earlier version produced by the Bolton & District Family History Society in April 1983. It was typewritten and therefore of limited circulation. It was thought that Deane Church did not hold a copy in its archives and therefore the only way to retrieve the inscriptions was to re-run the project. Fortunately a copy was discovered in Bolton Museum archives and photographed. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software was used but due to the limited facilities available, much of this material was not suitable for the process. As this is such a valuable source of information, the decision was taken to manually enter the text. This process was a labour of love which covered many months. To ensure this does not need to be repeated, digital copies are to be deposited with Bolton Museum, Manchester Library , Bolton and District Family History Society and available from the website www.deanechurch.co.uk Eric Morgan 15th July 2018 FOREWORD The ancient church of St Mary the Virgin, Deane, Bolton, Lancashire has perhaps the most interesting history of any in these parts. It is for this reason that the Bolton and History Society decided to list the monumental inscriptions of the older parts of the churchyard and also in the interior of the church. It dates from at least Norman times and probably earlier. The earliest written reference appears in a charter circa 1205 naming "Robert the Chaplain of St Marie Dene". It was then a chapel in the large parish of Eccles and did not become a parish in its own right until granted a charter by Henry VIII in 1542 Ministers of St Mary's, Deane c 1205 Robert "chaplain of St Marie, Dene". pre 1227 Thomas "clerk of Eccles". 1227 William "clerk of Eccles". 1230 William of Eccles, junior. 1240 Thomas of Haulgth. 1275 Robert of Burnden. 1290 Thomas “parson of the Dene". 1294 Roger "the clerk". Chaplains 1388 Richard of Workesley (Worsley). 1471 Wilfred of Whalley* 1506 Peres Crompton c 1516 Thomas Strete 1520 William of Cledesham* 1522 Jamys Laithwaite 1522 Wilfred of Catherall* 1531 Theodore of Paslew* 1541 Hamlet Mabon 1542 William Rothwell 1569 Richard Grimshaw - Successor not known 1575 David Dee M.A. 1593 Lancelot Clegge 1636 Richard Hardie M.A. 1643 John Tilsley M.A. 1663 John Angier M.A. 1673 Richard Hatton 1712 James Rothwell B.A. Vicars 1767 Thomas Withnell M.A. 1776 Robert Latham M.A. 1818 Thomas Brocklebank 1830 Edward Girdlestone M.A. 1855 Francis Henry Coldwell M.A. (later Thicknesse) 1868 William Bashall M.A. 1877 Henry Sheridan Patterson 1912 John Russell Line M.A. 1927 Robert Catterall Worcley M.A. 1950 Kenneth Mackay Bishop M.A. 1974 Roger Brumby Jackson B.Sc. Rector 1980 Roger Brumby Jackson B.Sc. *Note:- The four names marked should be taken as being very dubious. The only reference to be found is in Whittles History of Bolton (1855), an author well known for his flights of fancy. The first mention of a graveyard was in a document of 1276 it was not until 1813 that an extension of the old burial ground was carried out on the southern side. Further extensions on the north side were made in 1857, 1876, 1896, 1921 and 1928. Parts of the old Vicarage garden were consecrated in 1940 and 1956. Although many of the oldest gravestones have simply initials and family names, the oldest legible dated stone appears to be of 1608 to the west of the main path. Many quaint and interesting epitaphs are to be found and for those Latin we have attempted a translation. Where broken or partly illegible stones are found, it may be useful to consult the three volumes of Deane Parish Registers printed by the Lancashire Parish Register Society. These volumes can be consulted in Bolton Reference Library and are numbered 53, 54 and 79 covering the period 1604 to 1812. In addition there are hand-written transcripts from 1604 to 1886. How to use the transcripts - 1. The inscriptions have been listed in alphabetical order of the first surname mentioned on the gravestone. NOTE On the old stones with three initials only, the centre one is the surname with the man and wife's initial to left and right respectively. 2. Where more than one such surname exists, the first Christian names are alphabetically listed; then in date order. 3. Each inscription is given a number so that other surnames on the same stone can be found in a supplementary index. 4. To enable the researcher to find the grave in the churchyard, each entry gives a section number 1 to 5. These sections are shown on a plan of the churchyard. Also the type of stone is indicated: ‘F’ (flatstone), ‘H’ (headstone), etc. 5. A separate list of plaques, tablets, stained glass window memorials, etc., inside the church has also been appended. Finally, thanks must be given for the facilities given by the Rector of Deane, the Rev. R.B. Jackson, and to all the members of the Society who worked so tirelessly on this project.

These were informed by a trip to SIM’s Textiles Gallery and a walking tour of Bolton town centre. The finished sculptures will be exhibited as a 3D map alongside the walking tour so that other students can share the experience. Project Rationale To provide a way for the students to connect with their surroundings. It was identified by their citizenship teacher, Ms Helliwell, that students were aware of global concepts such as slavery and the rights of the child, yet not how they have directly impacted their local landscape. To create a project alongside the students so that they felt they were co-collaborators. The end outcomes were chosen and designed by each group as a way to share the information they had gathered informally. Project Rationale To prepare students with a grounding of what courses and careers are available for them if they were interested in pursuing an art based pathway, and in addition highlight the crossover opportunities between disciplines.

    PRESS RELEASE: June 2015 Curious Minds, Octagon Theatre Bolton, Bolton Museum, Ladywood Primary School and Rumworth School present: SLiCE Project to Promote Access to Culture in Additional Needs Education North West Bridge organisation Curious Minds are working with a number of Bolton organisations to encourage better involvement and access to cultural education for children with special needs, through interactive historic events at Smithills Hall from Friday 3 July. Held at Smithills Hall, one of the oldest and best preserved manor houses in North West England, the project will take place from Friday 3 – Friday 10 July, beginning with an action-packed introductory event which will include activities and games, food and drink, and live-action performances by actors depicting the various people who might have lived and worked in the Hall since its construction in the early 1300s. The project; A House Through Time , will explore the past through drama workshops led by the Octagon Theatre’s Associate Director Lisa O’Neill-Rogan , the present through visual art workshops led by Suzanne Harlow , and dance workshops led by dancers Darren Pritchard and Paul Adams from Z Arts Manchester , who will be using Microsoft Kinect sensors to create interactive dance performances based on students’ thoughts regarding their future. Throughout the week, non- verbal stimuli such as piped smells of baking bread, carbolic soap and coal fires, sign language, and symbols will be used to explore additional methods of accessibility. As part of the Curious Minds SLiCE (Specialist Leaders in Cultural Education) fellowship, the organisations involved will be researching how educational access to cultural sites and activities can be improved for students and young people with additional needs, including sensory and physical disabilities.
