Head with care-hide each fault you see, And when you've done, I pray remember me. The Contrast by J AMES WILLS, 1827. PUBLISHED BY JOSEPH KEN WORTHY, STRETTON VILLA, DEEPCAR, NEAR SHEFFIELD. 1915. (All Rights Reserved.) To THE MEMORY OF MY DEAR BROTHER, BENJAMIN KENWORTHY, who worked with others in re-building Bolsterstone Church, where pillar, arch, and font, and many a memorial-stone besides, bear witness to his skill and rectitude in the work' Thou gavest him to do.' Preface. T has been said that no small book can ever really teach great things. I But this is not a small book. On the contrary, it is one of several parts of a large work, which amongst other' great things' is to assist the reader to grasp the inner meaning of Manor and Church, and of their relation to each other, and to the development of the nation and the empire. The importance of such an understanding is ably shewn by Mr. S. O. Addy, in his Church and Manor. where he says,-' No treatment of the economic history of these islands can be satisfactory unless it includes the church-building and the benefice within its scope. the church was not only the place of worship but also the seat of local gover-nment.' In fact, if this fundamental truth could be properly assimilated by the average Englishman, the nation would be able to dispose of such a problem as Disendowment, which of necessity includes Di!:;establishment, in a spirit worthy of the theme, and the principles involved in an equitable settlement. Further, when it is fully realized how Prussian ascendancy, in the German Empire, is seeking to overthrow the more enlightened civiliza- tion of British rule in the same ruthless fashion as their ancestors,-the Northmen and Huns-broke up the Roman Empire, and destroyed European civilization from the fifth to the tenth centuries of the Christian era, the reader needs to know that Feudalism saved Europe in general, and England in particular, from being utterly crushed by such incursions. Feudalism was an inevitable phase in the evolution of the Western nations,~and it ought neither to be idealized nor execrated. Its great merit, as so well expressed by Mrs. Armitage in her useful work on Early Norman Castles, was, that in an age when the decay of mutual trust was the worst evil in society it laid stress on individual loyalty and insisted that personal honour should consist in the fulfilment of obligatiens. In conclusion, the author offers his best thanks to Mr. R. T. Wilson, M.A., of' Waldershaigh,' and to Mr. C. R. Wilson, B.A., of Middlewood Grange, for the photographs and drawings they have so kindly placed at his disposal. His thanks are also offered to The Badminton Magazine for permission to reproduce th~ frontispiece, and to Messrs. Elliott & Fry, Limited, for the use of their copyright photo of R. H. Rimington- Wilson, Esq. He would also thank Mr. Morgan, of Sheffield, for leave to reproduce three picture-cards emanating from his well-known studio; Mrs. T. Stanley, of Underbank, for the loan of an excellent likeness of the late Mr. C. Macro Wilson; the Editor of the Sheffield Weekly News for permission to copy an interesting cartoon of the late Law Clerk to the Cutlers' Company of Sheffield, which appeared in that journal on January 27, 1900; Mr. John Bradbury, of Deepcar, (subject to his patron's approval, which was duly obtained), for an interesting portrait of Mr. Charles Ward, of Broomhead ; Mr. Horace Heath, of Oughtibridge, for information from the Bradfield lnclosure Award, and other friends who have assisted in making this memoir worthy of the subject, and of the regard of all who dwell within the sound of Bolsterstone Bells. You that seek what life is in death, Now find it air that once was breath. New names unknown -old names gone; Till time end bodies, and souls none.

  • Bradfield: the Eleven Guide-Stoops Walk

    Bradfield: the Eleven Guide-Stoops Walk

    THE ELEVEN GUIDE STOOPS OF BRADFIELD A 17 ½ mile Anytime Winter Challenge Walk This is a hilly walk with 2,989 ft of climbing, very scenic and mainly on quiet roads designed for those winter months as an alternative to wading through mud. It can of course be attempted at any time of year and indeed, there are 3 footpath alternatives (shown in red) for purists or those averse to road walking. These footpath alternatives are attractive and do not add any extra mileage. I have counted at least a dozen horse troughs by the roadsides, indicating that apart from a layer of tarmac, these byways have changed little since the invention of the petrol engine. There must also be a record number of seats on this route, most with extensive views – well done Bradfield Parish Council. I hope you will find the walk full of interest as you discover the 11 guide stoops of the Parish of Bradfield, reputedly the second largest in England. I cannot, however, claim all the credit for this walk – the inspiration was a fascinating booklet entitled The Guide Stoops of the Dark Peak, published and printed privately by Howard Smith. The reason I took a walk to seek out these guide stoops for myself was due entirely to the foot and mouth epidemic of 2002 when, of course, footpaths were out of bounds. What are Guide Stoops? These are the earliest form of signposts which each Parish had the responsibility to maintain. They date from the 18 th and 19 th centuries and were usually carved from gritstone.

  • Hillsborough Hall & Hillsborough Park

    Hillsborough Hall & Hillsborough Park

    HILLSBOROUGH HALL & HILLSBOROUGH PARK The Steades Thomas Steade was the builder of Hillsborough Hall. He was the son of Nicholas Steade and Anne Micklethwaite and was born on 16 March 1728 at Ecclesfield. He married Millicent (Meliscent) Pegge, who was the daughter of Strelley Pegge of Beauchief and Mary Broughton from Lowdham, on 30 April 1768. He was a magistrate and he died in 1793. Hillsborough House was built in 1779 as a dwelling for Thomas and his wife Meliscent who had been living in nearby Burrowlee House, which is situated just 250 metres to the east. The Steades were a family of local of landowners whose history went back to the 14th century. At the time of construction the house stood in rural countryside well outside the Sheffield boundary. Steade named his new residence in honour of Wills Hill who at the time was known as the Earl of Hillsborough (later Lord Downside of Hillsborough, County Down), an eminent politician of the period and a patron of the Steades. Steade acquired more land and the grounds eventually had an area of 103 acres (0.42 km2). They were much more extensive than the present Hillsborough Park, stretching north to the current junction of Leppings Lane and Penistone Road and included the site on which Hillsborough Stadium now stands. It extended further south encompassing the site now occupied by the Hillsborough arena. The grounds had areas given over to agriculture but there was also extensive parkland featuring a lake, two lodges and a tree lined avenue. There was also a walled garden, which still exists today, which provided fresh produce for the house’s kitchens.

A Conservation Area is defined as an area of ‘special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’ (Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990). Each Conservation Area has a unique character shaped by a combination of elements including buildings, materials, spaces, trees, street plan, history and economic background. The aim of Conservation Area designation is to ensure that this character is not destroyed or undermined by inappropriate changes. Conservation Areas in the Peak District National Park There are 109 Conservation Areas in the National Park. Most contain groups of traditional buildings. Others include Historic Parks and Gardens, such as Lyme Park, or industrial sites, such as Cressbrook Mill. Conservation Areas generally have an aesthetic quality that makes them desirable places in which to live.
