Chesterfield, &c. three times a week PARISH lies within the liberty 01 Hallamshire, and is -very extensive, stretching more than 11 miles in length, from Chapeltown to the confines of Derbyshire, above Broomhead and Midhope, and averaging from 3 to 5 miles in breadth. It is in the Upper division of Strafforth and wapentake, Wortll1y union, Sheffield county court, district and petty sessional division, Southern division of the Riding, York diocese and arch­ deaconry, and Ecclesfield rural deanery. The two townships of Ecclesfield and Bradfield, into which the parish is divided, comprise many villages and hamlets, and contain 49,617 acres of land. Their total population amounted in 1841 to 15,150; in 1851, to 16,870; in 1861, to 21,568; in 1871, to 26,423; and now about 30,000; though in 1801 it was only 9216. The Duke of Norfolk is lord of the manors of Ecclesfield, Bradfield, Grenofirth, Southey-and­ Wadsley, and Westnall-and-Waldershelf, which comprise the whole parish, except Aldwark, Bolsterstone, and Midhope. The Duke owns much of the land and several extensive woods. The parIsh is watered by the river Don, and the Loxley Rivelin, and other rivulets, and coal, ironstone-, aud black and fire-brick clay are found here. Some of the cutlery and nail manufactures are carried on here, and it has large collieries; iron and steel works; tilts and rolling mills; some paper mills, &c. The Sheffield and Manchester Railway crosses it in the picturesque valley of the Don; and the line traverses its eastern side, near Ecclesfield and Chapeltown. . ECCLESFIELD VILLAGE stands upon an eminence, near the Barnsley road, 5 miles N. of Sheffield, and has a station (opened in August 1876) on the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway. In Domesday Book it ~B called Ecclesfelt, and is represented as having had six Saxon lords-Ulfac, Elsi, Godric, Dunninc, Elmor, and Norman; but it was then the undivided property of Roger de Busli. In 1871 its township had 15,171 inhabitants, and contains 11,192 acres. It embraces many.villages and hamlets, of which Chapeltown, Ecclesfield, Grenoside, Shire Green, Wadsley, and Wincobank are the principal. The PARISH CHURCH was formerly called the' Minster of the Moors,' and was partially restored at a considerable expense a. few years ago, and several of its windows have recently been filted with beautiful stained glass. A stained glass window was inserted in 1874, in memory of Mrs. Gatty. The church is dedicated to St. Mary, and has many handsome monuments; but some of its ancient stained glass disappeared during the civil wars. Four new bells,. making an excellent peal of eight, in the key of F, were hung in 1846. A new oak pulpit has been erected by the surviving daughters of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Dixon, as 1Io memorial of their parents. The new oak choir stalls are the gift of the late J. J effcock, Esq., J.P., and the lectern of the late Mr. W. H. Strouts, of Grenoside. The transept and a portion of the nave is about to be seated with massive oak benches by B. Wake. Esq., of Sheffield, on the condition that the whole of the seats be free and unappropriated. Mr. Henry Pawson is patron of the vicarage, which is now valued at £573 per annum, and is in the incumbency of the Rev. Alfred Gatty, D.D., sub-dean 'of York Cathedral and rural dean of Ecclcsfield. The INDEPENDENTS, the WESLEYANS, and the NEW CONNEXION METHODISTS have each a chapel in the village. The FEOFFEES' SCHOOL is conducted on the National system, and the INFANTS' SCHOOL, built and endowed by the late Miss Rawson, was enla.rged in 1878. Near the village is a. Jews' burial-ground. A POLICE STATION has been erected here by the county magistrates, and contains a residence for the sergeant, an official room, and two good cells. ECCLRSFIELD AGRICU:LTJJRAL ASSOCIATION was established many years ago, and has a large number of members. In the village are the CHURCH WORKERS' INSTITUTE (Mr. F. Hague, secretary), and the READING ROOMS, of which the Rev. A. J. Durrad, B.A., and Mr. Butt~rworth are the secretaries. POST OFFICE at Mr. Joseph UUey's.
