  • The Poor Law of Lunacy
    The Poor Law of Lunacy: The Administration of Pauper Lunatics in Mid-Nineteenth Century England with special Emphasis on Leicestershire and Rutland Peter Bartlett Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University College London. University of London 1993 Abstract Previous historical studies of the care of the insane in nineteenth century England have been based in the history of medicine. In this thesis, such care is placed in the context of the English poor law. The theory of the 1834 poor law was essentially silent on the treatment of the insane. That did not mean that developments in poor law had no effect only that the effects must be established by examination of administrative practices. To that end, this thesis focuses on the networks of administration of the poor law of lunacy, from 1834 to 1870. County asylums, a creation of the old (pre-1834) poor law, grew in numbers and scale only under the new poor law. While remaining under the authority of local Justices of the Peace, mid-century legislation provided an increasing role for local poor law staff in the admissions process. At the same time, workhouse care of the insane increased. Medical specialists in lunacy were generally excluded from local admissions decisions. The role of central commissioners was limited to inspecting and reporting; actual decision-making remained at the local level. The webs of influence between these administrators are traced, and the criteria they used to make decisions identified. The Leicestershire and Rutland Lunatic asylum provides a local study of these relations. Particular attention is given to admission documents and casebooks for those admitted to the asylum between 1861 and 1865.

Printed on a single folio size sheet, they typically cost a penny and often achieved wide circulation. As we will illustrate, hidden within collections of Victorian street literature can be found the last remnants of the medieval King and Commoner tradition.

  • St John the Evangelist, Birkby Christ Church, Woodhouse
    THE BENEFICE OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, BIRKBY AND CHRIST CHURCH WOODHOUSE PARISH BROCHURE ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, BIRKBY CHRIST CHURCH, WOODHOUSE THE VICARAGE ACCOMMODATION: The vicarage is in a pleasant area and is quite close to Christ Church, approximately one third of a mile. It is purpose built to the highest standards and was constructed approximately seventeen years ago. The accommodation includes a large study where PCC meetings have been held on a regular basis. It also has attractive gardens which have been used for parish events. WELCOME The PCCs and congregations welcome you to the Parish Brochure of the United Benefice of St John the Evangelist, Birkby and Christ Church, Woodhouse. We are pleased you would like to know more about us and hope the information we have given about our Benefice will inspire you to join us. We thought, as we are two different churches, it would be useful to provide a brief insight into each one and we hope you will come and see our churches for yourself. INTRODUCTION TO THE CHURCH AND PARISH OF ST JOHN’S, BAY HALL, BIRKBY ON the 18th October 1851, the Huddersfield Chronicle reported the laying of the foundation stone of St. John’s Church, Bay Hall, Birkby, Huddersfield, by Sir John William Ramsden. It was built by the trustees under the will of the late Sir John Ramsden on a site presented by the Hon. Isabella Ramsden. The Architect was Mr. W. Butterfield of London, and the builder was Mr. Joseph Kaye of Huddersfield. It was built in local stone from the quarries of Crosland Moor and Cowcliffe.

  • Cadmans at Roundhay St John, Leeds by Celia E Moss
    Cadmans at Roundhay St John, Leeds by Celia E Moss 1. Introduction The crypt at Roundhay St John holds a vault where members of three generations of a Leeds family called Cadman are buried. These are Thomas Cadman and his wife Ann née Oastler; their two eldest-born children and their daughter-in-law Amelia née Rhodes; and five of their grandchildren. The Cadman vault was first set up in 1830, relatively soon after the church was first consecrated in 1826. This is the story of these Cadmans and their connections to two other Yorkshire families, the Oastlers of Thirsk and Leeds, and the Rhodes of Leeds and Roundhay. These connections are sketched below, with the people who are buried in the Cadman vault underlined. 2. Thomas Cadman and Ann Oastler Ann Cadman was born Ann Oastler in Thirsk in 1778, the eldest daughter of Robert Oastler and Sarah Scurr. The family portrait of 1791, reproduced below, shows Ann standing to her father's left. Robert Oastler was born in Kirby Wiske in 1748, the Oastlers having been yeomen farmers in the Moorhouse district of Newsham for several generations1 . At the age of 16 he became a fervent Methodist and quarrelled so seriously with his father in consequence that he left home and took refuge in Thirsk with his uncles John and Samson Oastler, both prominent Methodists who had helped to finance the new Wesleyan chapel in Thirsk. Robert grew up as the ward of his uncle John. He often met John Wesley as a guest in his uncle's house and "their acquaintanceship ripened into a more than common friendship2".

Their two lives spanned the dramatic century of Huddersfield's growth, from a small straggling village in the mid-18th century to a major industrial town by the time of the Great Exhibition. Father and son-in-law had much in common, beyond their family ties. Both were stalwarts of the parish church and of the Commissioners for Lighting, Watching and Cleansing of 1820 to 1848, Huddersfield's first 'municipal' institution. Both were businessmen - Godfrey with fingers in many pies, Thomas less so, for he was primarily a doctor. Though less well-known than some leading contemporaries, such as Richard Oastler or even Joseph Kaye, their lives - interesting in their own right - have much to tell us about Huddersfield's century of rapid change.

  • Aristocratic Whig Politics in Early-Victorian Yorkshire: Lord Morpeth and His World
    ARISTOCRATIC WHIG POLITICS IN EARLY-VICTORIAN YORKSHIRE: LORD MORPETH AND HIS WORLD David Christopher Gent Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of History 2010 ABSTRACT This thesis explores the provincial life of George W. F. Howard (1802-64), 7th Earl of Carlisle, better known as the early-Victorian Whig aristocrat and politician Lord Morpeth. It challenges accounts which have presented Whiggery as metropolitan in ethos, by demonstrating that Morpeth strongly engaged with the county of Yorkshire as a politician, philanthropist and landlord. It provides the first dedicated account of how Whiggery operated, and was perceived, in a provincial setting. An introduction summarises the current historiography on the Whigs, and establishes the rationale behind the study. Chapter One details the pivotal influence of Morpeth’s Christian faith on his thought. It suggests that his religious values shaped both his non- political and political actions, ensuring a correlation between them. Chapters Two and Four are concerned with Morpeth’s career as M.P. for Yorkshire (1830-32) and the West Riding (1832-41, 1846-48). They suggest that Morpeth played a key role in building an alliance between the region’s liberals and Whiggery, based around the idea that the Whigs would offer political, economic and ecclesiastical reforms. However, they show how this alliance gradually splintered, partly owing to differences between the Whigs and some of the region’s nonconformist liberals over issues of Church and State and the Whigs’ social reform policies. Chapter Three details Morpeth’s activities as a philanthropist in the county. It suggests that this maintained his links to his supporters, shaped his views on social questions, and enhanced his political reputation.

Few historians, however, have questioned his toryism. As this article suggests, labelling Oastler an ‘ultra-tory’ or a ‘Church and State Tory’ obscures more than it reveals. There were also radical strands in Oastler’s ideology. There has been a tendency amongst Oastler’s biographers to treat him as unique. By comparing Oastler with other tories – Sadler, Southey and the young Disraeli – as well as radicals like Cobbett, this article locates him much more securely amongst his contemporaries. His range of interests were much broader (and more radical) than the historiographical concentration on factory and poor law reform suggests. While there were periods when Oastler’s toryism (or radicalism) was more apparent, one of the most consistent aspects of his political career was a distaste for party politics.

  • Independence and Deference: a Study of the West Riding Electorate, 1832-1841
    Independence and Deference: A Study of the West Riding Electorate, 1832-1841 Sarah j9ardson Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD The University of Leeds School of History September, 1995 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. Abstract The importance of the Great Reform Act and its positive effect upon the development of popular, participative politics has recently been challenged. This study seeks to rehabilitate the 1832 Act and to examine the consequences of this major piece of franchise reform upon the electorate of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The central focus is the twin themes of independence and deference; the two are not necessarily opposing forces. Both were essential elements in the electoral politics of the region and both had clearly defined and demonstrable boundaries. The region under investigation, the West Riding, portrayed a range of electoral experiences in the early nineteenth century and thus provides an important local case-study which can add a further dimension to perceptions of electoral politics in the nation as a whole. A comparative examination is made of the pre-existing small boroughs of the West Riding; the smaller new boroughs under varying degrees of influence; the large independent boroughs and the county electorate. The thesis concentrates on the voting populations of these constituencies - an analysis of over forty thousand individuals. A separate chapter is devoted to a psephological appraisal of the West Riding electorate which emphasises the voters' heightened motivation, partisanship and participation in the decade after 1832.

  • JOLLY BOYS FIRST VISIT to BRIGHOUSE THURSDAY 5THAUGUST 2021 Recce-17Th June
    JOLLY BOYS FIRST VISIT TO BRIGHOUSE THURSDAY 5THAUGUST 2021 Recce-17th June Bridge over the River Calder on the Huddersfield Road Brighouse, (pronounced Briggus) not surprisingly is in Calderdale, in the former West Riding of Yorkshire. They don’t call them Ridings any more because the administration areas now have a South Yorkshire and Riding means ‘third part’! Brighouse means on or near the bridge across the River Calder, which refers to the predecessor to the one above. Brighouse was famous for its Flour and textile mills, given a boost by the opening of the Calder and Hebble Canal in the 18th Century. Formerly thought to have been on the Roman route from Wakefield to Manchester (though there is no mention of this in Margary’s book Roman Roads in Britain or the Historical OS Map published in 2001). Home to the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band formed in 1881. Brighouse had two stations from 1881 until 1952. The first station opened in 1840 as part of the Leeds and Manchester Railway, which became a constituent of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rly in 1923 and closed on 1st January 1970. A new station was opened in 2000 located between Huddersfield Road and Gooder Lane. Streetmap have managed to show the location of the station as it was from 1840 until 1893! The other station was Clifton Road, which was on the cut off line that would take you straight to Bradford via Bailiff Bridge and Wyke, avoiding Halifax, opened in 1881 by the L&Y. The whole line closed in 1952 due to the unsafe condition of Wyke viaduct.
