  • THE ROTHWELL, LOFTHOUSE, OULTON with WOODLESFORD and METHLEY with MICKLETOWN TEAM BROCHURE
    Holy Trinity Church, Church Street, Rothwell, LS26 0QL Parish Profile THE ROTHWELL, LOFTHOUSE, OULTON WITH WOODLESFORD and METHLEY WITH MICKLETOWN TEAM BROCHURE January 2018 1 Holy Trinity Church, Church Street, Rothwell, LS26 0QL Parish Profile THE OPPORTUNITY We are looking and praying for a Team Rector who will lead us, and bring new energy to support us in collaborating our Mission & Ministry across our four parishes. THE TEAM, ITS PARISHES AND THE AREA TEAM LOCATION All four parishes cluster around the M1/M62 intersection in easy reach of both Leeds and Wakefield. Many of our people have coal mining in their blood and the Benefice encompasses the world-famous Rhubarb Triangle. DIVERSITY ACROSS THE TEAM For all our geographical closeness, each community has a distinct character. Rothwell was a large mining village which has grown into a significant suburban centre and feels like a small town. Lofthouse is a ribbon development of mining and agricultural communities along a main road where in recent decades many housing estates have grown up. Oulton with Woodlesford combines historic housing of the wealthy with some challenging estates and has a good selection of shops and other facilities. Methley is a large village set amidst the estate of its aristocratic lords of the manor which is joined with the mining centre of Mickletown where most people live. TEAM HISTORY Two parishes are in the Domesday Book, but all owe their population growth to coal mining and associated industries. They all now attract commuters into the cities and so all communities within the Team continue to grow.

  • Methley Records
    METHLEY 1443 - 1614 Edited by C. E. McGee Introduction Methley village and the adjacent Manor of Methley were located about eight miles southeast of Leeds near the confluence of the River Aire and the River Calder. The rivers, being navigable, facilitated the movement of people and goods, especially wool, which was the cornerstone of the local economy. Coal mining was sufficiently important from at least the early 14th century, that the Manorial Rolls had a section recording details of its extraction. In 1410, Robert Waterton, who held several important offices during the reigns of Henry IV and Henry V, acquired the Manor of Methley from the Hospital of St. Nicholas of Pontefract in exchange for manors elsewhere. When he died in 1425, his grandson Sir Robert Waterton (1408-1476) became lord of the Manor of Methley. Knighted in 1434 and appointed High Sheriff of Yorkshire in 1441, he held the manor at the time of the celebration of Hogmanay recorded in the first of the following documents. The document is an account submitted at Michaelmas 1444 by Richard Whitwood, one of the collectors of farms for Sir Robert (as noted by R.E. Yarwood, "Hogmanay 1443 in West Yorkshire," Folklore 95 [1984]: 252-4). Most payments in his account are for repairs and most receipts are for rents, but because Whitwood also happened to be the supervisor of the lord's household that year; as a result, we have these unusual records of performance at Methley. Richard Shann (1561-1627) of Methley kept his miscellany or 'commonplace book' as an annual recording of national events, weather conditions, developments in his garden, and local events.
