And I answered, O Lord God, Thou knowest—Ezekiel 37.S. Copyright (C) John Dunstan, 1968 2 FOREWORD As I read this excellent book, I remembered my first service at “ Little Totley ”—a Harvest Festival. It was a mellow autumn afternoon. The chapel was ablaze with masses of flowers, and sweet with the scents of harvest. From the pulpit one had an incomparable view. The land fell away into the wooded valley; beyond were the purple moors and rolling hills. Somehow inside and outside were one and indivisible. It is a memory I shall never forget. That day the little church was full. On another occasion I conducted a service, with sermon and Holy Communion, complete with gleaming chalices, and then we all got into my car—a four-seater— preacher, organist, and congregation, and went home. This also had been true worship. Totley was always a “ real ” church. It was loved by its people, and it exercised a true ministry. It could not command larger numbers because of its position on the edge of the village. It was defeated at last by the old building which had become unsafe. Defeated? No. It was an honourable closure. The work had been done, and well done, across the years. Other “ spiritual homes ” were able to receive our seven members. We are fortunate to have had so excellent an historian as Mr. John Dunstan to research into our history and tell our story. In relating this small village cause to the larger movements of Methodist history he has given us a record of more than local importance. John A. Clayton. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The length of this little book bears no relation to the number of people I have to thank. I am indebted in the first place to Mr. Ben Morton, of Totley, for his unfailing co-operation, warm encouragement and useful suggestions, and to the Rev. John A. Clayton, Superintendent of the Fjcclesall Circuit, for the interest he has always shown, not. least in allowing me to inspect deeds and other docu­ ments in liia custody and consenting to write the foreword. I should also like to thank: Rev. Dr. Oliver A. Beckerlegge, Superintendent of the Roseland Circuit, Cornwall; Dr. Keith Blackburn, of Totley; Dr. John C. Bowmer, Connexional Archivist; Rev. W. R. E. Clarke, Superintendent of the Sheffield Brunswick Circuit; Mr. and Mrs. George Green, of Keighley; Rev. H. C. C. Lannigan, Superintendent of the Sheffield Carver Street Circuit, and Mrs. Bell; Mr. E.

The picture of George Wainwright was painted in 1809 by the Leeds artist Charles Henry Schwanfelder (1773—1837) and presented in 1920 by W. C. Mitchell Withers to the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire, who retain the copyright and whose permission to reproduce the portrait is gratefully acknowledged. It was photo­ graphed under difficult technical conditions by Mr. Lambert Smith. The drawing on the cover is from the original by James Everett. The plan of Totley is based on George Sanderson’s Enclosure Award map. The photographs of Totley Chapel are by Mr. Ben Morton. John D unstan. 4 CHAPTER ONE At the crack of dawn on Monday, June 14th, 1742, a little parson, returning on horseback by a zig-zag route from his first evangelistic tour in the north of England, set out once again. “ Having a great desire to see David Taylor, whom God had made an instrument of good to many souls, I rode to Sheffield; but not finding him there, I was minded to go forward immediately; however, the importunity of the people constrained me to stay, and preach* both in the evening and in the morning.” In fact, John Wesley preached four times. David Taylor, of Fulwood, converted under John’s Oxford Methodist contemporary, Benjamin Ingham, had been doing spare-time evangelistic work in Sheffield and the villages on its southern fringe since 1738; this had evidently been fruitful, but was suffering from the lack of a proper follow-up. For all the people’s pleading, it was not until the fourth time, on the Wednesday morning, that John felt God’s Spirit at work among them. We can take June 16th, 1742, as the date of the true beginning of Methodism in Sheffield. One wonders whether any of the folk who were to become the first Methodists at Totley and Woodseats were among those who entreated and those who were moved. George Wainwright, the 28-year-old Bamford-born weaver, now plying his trade in Dronfield, and destined to become the father of Methodism in Totley? Sarah Green, of Totley, who was to suffer so much indignity for her beliefs? Eighteen-year-old Elizabeth Booth, formerly of Summerley near Dronfield, recently married to a Woodseats sicklesmith and small farmer and in due time to have the joy of being the means of his conversion and with him to become host to John Wesley and his preachers and a real power for good in the district? In all, John made some thirty-eight visits to Sheffield. He would have come fairly near to Totley—probably over the moors between Dore and Ringinglow—on four occasions between 1744 and 1753 when riding into Sheffield from the Peak; his nearest route from Chelmorton and * The mteeting house was in Cheney Square, traces of which survive in the name of Cheney Walk, alongside the Town Hall. The famous allusion to “ the largest congregation I ever saw on a weekday ” in Paradise Square dates from Wtesley’s 29th visit to Sheffield on iBth July, 1779. 5 Taddington, the early centres of High Peak Methodism, would have been via Longstone, Hassop, Calver and Grindleford. The turnpike roads had yet to be built. On June 5th, 1753, he mentioned a visit to Jonathan and Elizabeth Booth at Woodseats. According to John Austen, Booth Farm lay where Fraser Road now joins Holmhirst Road, 200 yards north of Woodseats library. The young wife had first found her husband very hostile !o Method lam, but this did not deter her. In his lliirmiurvu. Hkktciikh ok Wesleyan Methodism in SiiKi'i'iKM* James Everett remarks: “ She generally attended preaching at Shellield at five o’clock in the morning, carrying the child in her arms that she was then nursing.” Altogether she nursed nine of them between 1743 and 1762, five girls and four boys, all but one of whom survived infancy. Her firstborn, also called Elizabeth, when nearly ten, fell a victim to a mysterious and violent mental and physical illness affecting her for almost five months and then vanishing without trace. She was perfectly restored to health and later was to marry John Oliver, for a time one of Wesley’s itinerant preachers. Wesley heard the whole story of her torment from the Booths a month after her recovery; he was impressed enough to record the episode in his Journal, and not surprisingly it seems to have had a traumatic effect on the father. Doubtless his wife’s deep faith also exerted no small influence on him. Mrs. Booth, for all her family commitments, was very active in attending prayer meetings and exhorting over a wide area, including Totley; now her husband joined her in the work and evidently made it. his special duty to guide the travelling preachers on their way to the local preaching places. With the accretions of the last hundred years, it is not easy for us to cast our thoughts back in time and picture the village of Totley as it was in the mid-eighteenth century. Imagine an L-shaped bridleway with the original hamlet clustering round the outside of the right- angle and extending south a little way down Totley Hall Lane. To the north, the way ran past Oldhay, through Dore with its chapel-of-ease attended by the faithful of Totley and the place where their children were baptised, along Limb Lane, up the dark and mysterious path which can still be glimpsed from Whirlow Bridge, behind Whirlow Hall, and so eventually to Sheffield. To the east 0 it went down Mickley Lane, athwart the hill on the other side, that is to say between the present Wollaton Road and Longford Drive, and thus to Bradway and Greenhill.

  • George Abbot 1562-1633 Archbishop of Canterbury
    English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century: A Work in Progress Listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. The Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland (2006) contains much relevant information in this field, summarising existing scholarship, and references to this have been included in individual entries below where appropriate.

  • Reminiscences of a Former Master Cutler (1851-1947) Introduction by Pauline Bell
    Reminiscences of a former Master Cutler (1851-1947) Introduction by Pauline Bell. In August and September 1933 James Dixon wrote five long articles that were published in the Sheffield Telegraph. These are only accessible on microfilm which when photocopied produces a copy of very indifferent quality. The smaller the print in the photocopy, the clearer it is but then the print is so tiny it is difficult to read without a magnifying glass! I am not a skilled typist but felt these articles were extremely important not only in relation to Mr. Dixon’s life but to the social, local and national history of the period of his life span. Can you imagine middle class parents allowing their primary school-age children to take a picnic and go out for the day on foot walking some 3 miles or so (Fulwood to Beauchief in Sheffield)? In addition, I think it gives quite an insight into travel both business and leisure at a time when it was by sea and by horse drawn vehicles and some train as this means of transport became available. I have used a voice recognition programme to type these which works well for normal vocabulary but not for foreign place names. I have tried to ensure these are correct with the help of ‘google’ but I suspect there may still be some errors. As far as possible what follows is in his own words though sometimes I was reduced to guessing the occasional word or phrase and hope that I have at least conveyed his meaning as he intended.

  • The Chancellors of the Diocese of Rochester
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 160 ) THE CHANCELLORS OE THE DIOCESE OE ROCHESTER. BY A. A. ARNOLD, E.S.A. THROUGH the kindness of a friend, a member of our Society, I was lately placed in the possession of a MS. hearing the title, " A List of Chancellors of the Diocese of Rochester," said to be written by Dr. A. C. Ducarel; but on examining the handwriting I am strongly of opinion that the list and notes were compiled and written by Dr. John Denne (Archdeacon of Rochester 1728—176*7), and were only corrected and annotated by Dr. Ducarel. The fact that such numerous references are made in the MS, to entries in the Registers at Rochester, to which the Archdeacon would have had ready access, confirms this view, and it is supported by other internal evidence, and espe- cially by a note which occurs with regard to Dr. Wm. Llewyn (Chancellor 1580—1598), in which the an- notator, whom I take to be without doubt Dr. Ducarel, directly refers to the Archdeacon as the writer of tbe memoir. In preparing the MS. for the press I have abso- lutely adhered to the original spelling of tbe names of persons and parishes, and I have only added a few notes, and some slight account of the Chancellors who have held office since Archdeacon Denne's time, so as to bring the list down to the present day. As to the first three names (which were added to the list in CHANCELLORS OE DIOCESE OE ROCHESTER.

It was, however, far inland, off the main highway network and twenty miles from the nearest navigation. One might say that with those disadvantages its future looked distinctly unpromising. A century later, Sheffield was a maker of plated goods and silverware of international repute, was en route to world supremacy in steel, and had already become the world's greatest producer of cutlery and edge tools. How did it happen? Internal economies of scale vastly outweighed deficiencies. Skills, innovations and discoveries, entrepreneurs, investment, key local resources (water power, coal, wood and iron), and a rapidly growing labour force swelled largely by immigrants from the region were paramount. Each of these, together with external credit, improved transport and ever-widening markets, played a significant part in the town's metamorphosis. Economic and population growth were accompanied by a series of urban developments which first pushed outward the existing boundaries. Considerable infill of gardens and orchards followed, with further peripheral expansion overspilling into adjacent townships. New industrial, commercial and civic building, most of it within the central area, reinforced this second phase. A period of retrenchment coincided with the French and Napoleonic wars, before a renewed surge of construction restored the impetus.
