Discusses inability of tenants Peter Flint and Mary Watson to pay arrears but thinks Jonathan Grey and Jonathan Flint will pay shortly. Argues for a rent reduction because of the decrease in valuation of agricultural stock and the considerable increase in parochial assessments since 1813 (when last inspected) According to the Overseers Accounts of 1813 and 1818 there was no increase in assessments.

1823 | In the last issue, there was a short piece concerning the old Dore Chapel and I thought I would elaborate with details from my files. No doubt other readers may wish to add to the information below. However I think there was a misprint about the Rev. Frank Parker, he appears to have taken over as curate in 1809 not 1800. THE OLD CHAPEL(S) OF EASE IN DORE The hamlets or townships of Dore and Totley were in the ecclesiastical parish of Dronfield. ONE CHAPEL OR TWO? The building in 1828 of Christ’s Church in Dore replaced a very ancient and low, mean building, with a rotten roof, which was a Chapel of Ease (called this because it was easier to visit than the Parish Church at Dronfield four and a half miles away). The Rev. Gibson in his History of Dore assumes that, after reading Cox’s Churches of Derbyshire, the Chapel was standing in pre-reformation times ie. 1530AD. The parliamentary commission appears to suggest that there was a place of worship in 1650 for it recommended grouping Dore, Totley and Beauchief together as one parish for ecclesiastical purposes. “Beachliffe, an Abbey place without cure of souls. We think that these places fitt to be united and made a parish, and the minister to officiate in Beachliffe and Dore alternately.” However in 1683 Cornelius Clark left the Tithe of Dore to support the Chapel and Curate of Dore. Then in the 1698 Glebe Terrier for Dronfield, the Churchwardens state “ There is nothing at all that we can hear or learn that belongeth to this (Dore) Chapel” and this statement is followed by a discussion on the Easter Roll Dues in aid of the Chapel. In the Glebe Terrier for 1701, the statement is repeated with the further comment that Dore and Totley baptised their children, whilst marrying and burying at Dronfield .There is a comment in 1705/6 (source to be checked) that “Dore Chantry was demolished and a chapel built which was taken down in 1828”. It seems quite likely then that there were two chapels, first the Chantry built either in the 16th or 17th century and pulled down in 1705/6, to be succeeded by the Chapel. This appears to be confirmed by the Glebe Terrier for 1719 which refers to Dore Chappel being pulled down about 13 years previously “ Dore Chapel did nothing belonging until 1711, one house at Dore Town Head was left by Francis Camm of Hathersage towards maintenance of the curate”. The living was in 1720 and 1777 augmented with Queen Anne’s Bounty to meet benefactions –1810 with £200 – and in 1820 with a £600 parliamentary grant. EARLY CURATES Curates associated with the Chapel were Thomas Stanley who came to Dore around 1632 from Handsworth before moving on to Eyam, Mr. Glossop 1760/73, Mr Webb 1773/1809 and Francis Parker 1809/28. At the time of the opening of the new Church in 1828, it was said that the Chapel had been built about 200 years ago. There is an early baptismal register, dated 1734 and in the hands of the Church authorities (according to Brelsford). As far as I know, there are three illustrations of the Chapel; a picture of 1820 is hanging in the vestry of the present Church ( Brelsford), a crude copy was made of it, and there is‘A South East View of Dore Chapel in 1785’. The latter differs from the others in that it shows what appears to be a belfry yet the following 1823 description of the Chapel quite definitely refers to a bell in an old shed. Had the belfry fallen down between 1785 and 1823, or had the belfry been imagined? There appears to be a plaque over the door and the roof slates are not the heavy ones described below. The Chapel stood approximately on the site of the Hare & Hounds car park, close to the Old School, and to the stocks. DILAPIDATED What seems to be indisputable is that the Chapel was in an appalling state when Rawlings, author of books on Derbyshire Churches of that time, recalled. “When I visited it on 28th August 1818, I found it in so ruinous and dilapidated a state that the inhabitants could not assemble in it for Divine Worship; but met together in the schoolroom adjacent, where it was performed. The pews were nearly all broken down, and scattered around; as was the ceiling to so great an extent, as to be no preventative against the fury of the descending storms of snow and rain from entering”. I guess that sets the scene some five years before a Visitation, so unless radical work was undertaken in the intervening period, the place must have been dreadful. VISITATION In July 1823, an inspection of Dore Chapel was taken and the report was referred to in Answers to the Visitation of Dore Chapel of Ease. (As neighbouring Totley had neither church nor chapel at that time, I would guess that the humble Dore building was used by Totley people too). At that time the Patron was Earl Fitzwilliam and the Improprietor was the Duke of Devonshire. QUITE RUINOUS This is the gist of the content of the Visitation Report: “It is an old stone building with three frightful wooden pillars down the centre supporting the bad, double-pitched roof of heavy, decayed (stone) slates; it lets in wet and the ceiling is quite ruinous. The walls are of stone, cracked at the west end and bulging out in various places, especially at the south west corner. There is no steeple or tower, only a shed containing one bell. The floor is tolerably even but some stones are damp and decayed. There is no porch, no chancel and there are no vaults. The windows are whole but there are no casements (no wooden opening frames). The doors are rotten and although the pulpit is sound but mean, the floor of the desk is very bad, very bad; the hangings are tattered. There are neither altar nor ornaments. The Bible is good but the Prayerbook is only tolerable. Almost all the seats are wretchedly worn and decayed. There is a gallery at the west end for singers, and a few private seats in tolerable repair. The font is stone with a worm-eaten cover and there are three benefaction tablets recording all the charities (these may be the ones now in the Old Schoolhouse). The surplices are tolerably good but there is no linen or plate. The chest for papers is sufficient and there is an iron chest for the register which, despite being left loose in the church, records baptisms (marriages and funerals took place at Dronfield Parish Church), commencing 13th January 1813, (there is, according to Brelsford in his History of Dore & Totley, an earlier baptismal register dated 1734). There is space for a congregation of 300, but no place for the poor. The cleanliness is very indifferent (!) and there is very great damp. The Chapel is 45 feet x 30ft (not much for 300!). There is good fencing around the Chapel although the churchyard is not consecrated and even the ground is not ascertained to belong to the Chapel. It would be of great advantage to have a burial ground here as the dead are carried to Dronfield four and a half miles off over wretched roads”. (I guess the pall bearers must have been dead tired). DRAINLESS “The gates are good but there are no drains, Divine Service is conducted once - mornings and evenings alternatively – prayers and sermon (probably weather permitting). Services are also held Christmas Day and sometimes Good Friday; there is no sacrement or catechism. The incumbent is Francis Parker A.M., (a perpetual curate from 1807-40), who is not resident. The parsonage is a wretched, much dilapidated, cottage – perfectly unfit for the residence of a clergyman”. Writing to the secretary of the Queen Anne’s Bounty about the lack of a parsonage house in Dore, he said “I am obliged to live in the Parish of Norton (5 miles away); this together with the badness of road and the steep hills that I have to climb is a great drawback on the discharge of my Pastoral Duties. Indeed it is quite impossible for me to visit my people in the winter season without injuring my health” (Perhaps that is why he finished that year). Parker performed all duties. The gross value of his salary was £70pa and he was granted no surplice fees. Easter dues and small payments were received by the Vicar of Dronfield, but on two occasions Parker had received the Queen Anne’s Bounty (this was a fund for augmenting poor benefices). In 1841 Earl Fitzwilliam had a handsome, large brick parsonage built for the new incumbent Rev. Richard Martin, who was followed in 1849 by the Rev. Aldred. Benefactions concerned some 8a2r30p of land and 28 new enclosures. There was an endowed school next door and a subscription day school, teaching reading, writing and arithmetic to about 50 boys and girls, which was combined with the Sunday School that had 150 to 200 children; The township population is quoted as 850 in 1823. RICHARD FURNESS The parish clerk at that time was appointed by the trustees (including the minister) and was called Richard Furness, later to be schoolmaster, writer and architect (in 1828) of the replacement church. He, not only designed the present church but also acted as clerk of works and worked on the ornamental stonework and without pay! The Churchwarden was John Shearwood who noted that D’Ewes Coke, agent to the Duke of Rutland, was to be seen regarding repairs if the Chapel was not to be rebuilt. It would then have a new stone floor and ceiling, the bulging wall on the south side and south west end rebuilt, the roof and gutter inspected and effectually to be repaired, window casements made, new door and new cover for the font, drain around the Chapel and seats & floors of the reading desk to be repaired. The estimated cost of the alterations was £208 15s. However if the whole was to be rebuilt and Mr. Coke’s (or was it Furness’s) plan adopted, the Chapel yard would be consecrated & the sacrement administered four times a year. It is no wonder that a new building was preferred! As it was the whole of the material from the Chapel was used in the building of the Church which cost £1000, sixty percent of which was raised by church rates and the rest by subscriptions. At the time of the bankruptcy of Parker, Shore and Co., Bankers, one hundred and twenty pounds were still owing by Dore Church, which was written off as a bad debt. Afterward, on the sale of the remainder of Newton Shore’s land at Dore, that gentleman made the church a present of Cat Croft to enlarge the graveyard. This land was drained and fenced off out of church rates; J. Hancock being designer and clerk of works, spending much time and attention free of charge. The site of the Chapel and the vacant surrounding land was sold to John Wilson for £30. Three roods of land were given by Newton Shore Esq., as a site for the Church and Graveyard. The replacement remained as a Chapel of Ease until 1844 when it became a Parish Church separate from Dronfield but including Totley. In 1876, with the expanding population, helped by the provision of a railway station and the erection of St. Johns, Abbeydale Road South, another ecclesiastical parish was created out of the parish of Dore. Totley was split away on the building of All Saints in 1924.

| 1828 | Charity Commissioners’ Report gives full details of Totley School charity and Greens Charity. Totley School We have on our account of Dore School, given the particulars of the gift of Rev. Robert Turie, of whose legacy one third being £13 6s8d was paid for enclosing land on Totley Common. By indentures of lease and release, bearing date 10 and 11 October 1753, between Francis Lord Middleton, Lord of the Manor of Totley of the first part, and Edmund Offley and five others of the other part; reciting, that the said E.O. and others, were the principal freeholders or inhabitants within the said manor, and had rights of Common on all commons and waste ground within the said manor; and being desirous of erecting a school house and making a provision for the teaching of such children, as thereinafter mentioned; had applied to the said Lord M. to grant such a piece of the said commons, as thereinafter mentioned, the said Lord M. granted to E.O. and others and their heirs, a piece of ground, commonly called the Croft Heads, being part of the waste belonging to the manor of Totley, estimated at 4 acres, in trust, for erecting a school or school house upon the same, and to receive the rents and profits of such school or school house, and of the premises thereby granted, and to apply the same for the teaching of English, and in the Church Catechism, six poor children, boys or girls, of and belonging to the liberty of Totley, such as the said trustees for the time being should think proper to nominate for that purpose; and it was provided that Lord M and his heirs should be always trustees and whenever two only of the trustees should be living, the survivers should appoint other freeholders of the manor, and convey the premises to the use of themselves and such new trustees, and Lord M and his heirs. In addition to the sum of £13 6s8d paid on account of the gift of Robert Turie and applied in inclosing the land mentioned, it appears that William Green adanced £25 for which interest was paid to him for some years, and in discharge of which he ultimately, in 1795, accepted a lease for 21 tears at the rent of £4. The original intention of building a school on this land was never carried into effect; and until 1821, when the Dore Enclosure was nearly completed, the rent of this land was paid to the schoolmaster at Dore, for instructing six children who were sent to him from Totley. In 1821 it was determined to establish a school in the township of Totley, and a subscription was raised for erecting a building for that purpose. The plan, however, has been since abandoned, and a school has been built by D’EWES Coke Esq,(of Totley Hall)on his own land., and at his own expense; and it is proposed to invest the sum of £125., which had been raised by subscription, in the names of the trustees, and to apply the interest thereof in increasing the schoolmistress’s salary. The land on Totley Common is now let to Thomas Hopkinson, as yearly tenant, at a good rent of £6 and this sum has since 1821 been paid to a schoolmistress who has instructed 6 children in reading, without any charge to the parents. Lord Middleton is now the only trustee under the deed of 1753. The management of the land has been left principally to Wm., Green nephew of William Greenat whose expense the enclosing of the land was principally effected. | Charity Commisioners Report 1828 Report page 759 MatLib B.E. copy |

| 1846 | Derbyshire Directory gives the following: Totley is a township within the Parish of Dore G B Greaves – D’Ewes Coke Esq. are considerable owners. Lord Middleton is Lord of the Manor. In 1839 the tithe of the old enclosure was commuted for £18 6s11d to the improprietor and £2 7s6d to the Vicar of Dronfield This was formerly a bleak moory district which since the Enclosure has been greatly improved by cultivation. It contains about 500 acresof land (this seems very low! B.E.) 83 houses and 408 inhabitants of whom 226 are males, 182 females; population in 1801, 206, 1831,357. Rateable value £921. The population has kept on increasing with the improvements in agriculture, by which they are mostly employed. Near the Sheffield Road is an ancient cupola for smelting lead occasionally worked by Mr Sorby (solicitor) of Sheffield. An infanr school was built by D’Ewes Coke in 1827 The Feast is the first Sunday after Mid-summers Day. By indentures 1753 about 4 acres of wasteland was conveyed to the Trustees, in order that a school may be erected upon it, the intention was never carried into effect, and the land is let for £6pa, which is paid for the instruction of six poor children. Some time ago the inhabitants proposed to build a school, by subscription, the plan however was abandoned, and a school has been built by D’ewes Coke on his own land. A sum of £125 raised towards building the school was put out to interest for the use of the schoolmaster. William Green 1786, left a rent-charge of 12s yearly, out of his house and croft in Totley, for a distribution of bread at Dore Chapel every fourth Sunday. Robert Turie gave £40 for the benefit of the Chapelry of Dore two thirds of this sum was expended in 1747, in enclosing a piece of Common on Dore Moor Side, the remainder was laid out in enclosing land on Totley Common, the proceeds are given to the schoolmaster.

| 1888 | Tunnel Friday evening, Rock Mining Co. of London tried experiment to test their new machinery in a field at Totley Bents. Boring machinery weighed over 4 tons constructed to work by compressed air (although it wasn't tested well enough yet). But had to use steam power drills 20ft long, 3.5" diam. and gave 350 blows to the minute, 36" apart and working in a triangle. Additional apparatus can befitted to drill up to 7 holes at a time. The first 3 holes went in 10ft & were charged with 20 lbs. of Nobles gelignite (just introduced). The report was heard a mile away. Capt. Penrose, Head of Rock Mining and Mr. T. Eaton, mining engineer of Totley, Manager of Works, descended shaft and ascertained that gelignite had reduced the rock to small pieces which can easily be removed with pick & shovel. On Friday, when fractured rock was removed, it was found that the rock had been shattered for 5ft. beyond the 10ft. holes, and 45 tons were made removable. The experiment was considered highly satisfactory and Rock have therefore decided to immediately use the compressed air equipment. 6 Oct. Activities increasing at the Chinley end - cottages being sought by many navvies. Materials & plant arriving daily with horses stabled at Chapel-en-le-Frith.

Preparing for an explosive charge, three holes had been drilled into rock which had to be filled with gelignite which was affected by the frosty weather and became hard. Griffiths used long stick to push gelignite into holes thus causing an explosion. His head was smashed and body badly hurt. Two men raised him to the surface and medical men summoned. Griffiths died shortly after - Bembridge was unhurt except for a black eye. The following March - see 1889 - a fund-raising concert was held in Dore | Ch. Lib. Derbyshire Times 25 Aug. 1888. D.T. Ch.

| 1889 | 9 Feb. See full report in Derbyshire Courier which reads as follows: (I only precised this in my book) The work in connection with the construction of the Dore & Chinley Railway at Dore end is progressing rapidly. Delay has been caused by by a landowner not giving up some land to the contractors which they required. Since they obtained possession a fortnight ago, considerable progress has been made. A new signal box erected and sidings put in off main line which runs into a field adjacent to Dore Station and which is now being used as a contractors storeyard. Stables, workshop and other buildings have been erected. An overland line has been commenced which goes from the storeyard and crosses the highway opposite. Should open weather continue, a temporary line will be completed and ready for use in a week and will thus take an amount of heavy traffic off the roads. There are upwards of 200 navvies employed in making the open cutting up to the tunnel mouth at Totley Bents. The soil which has been removed out of the cutting up to now has been used for for the overland line to be raised down Totley Brook. At the tunnel mouth a shaft has been sunk upwards of 60ft. deep to level of line. A 10ft. heading has been driven 300 yards in a tunnel in N.E. direction. When miners had driven about 80 yards it became necessary to sink another shaft owing to quantity of water which came upon them and this shaft (No.1) is being used for pumping operations. A 25H.P. boiler has been fixed and used to supply steam to work pump. Pumping operations are continuous both night and day and at times not sufficient to keep down water for miners to continue work. About 100 yards from this is shaft No2 which is used for workers to descend. A steam crane is here employed (see photo B.E.) to draw out the bind, metals having been laid and crane after drawing bind to surface is set in motion and thus runs on the metals to any particular place required to deposit stuff and this saves a large amount of manuel labour. About 200 yards further on is No.3 shaft. The miners here have been busily engaged in sinking and have commenced driving a heading. A number of miners huts have been erected near to No.4 shaft (Rifle range now) and will be used by navvies as soon as they are ready. Navvies huts have also been erected at Totley Bents and those completed are now occupied. Provision stores were opened Saturday. At present there are 400 persons have been employed on works and in the course of 3/4 weeks several hundred will be added. The Totley Moor Brickyard Co. have now completed a tramway from their yard along the foot of Totley Moor to No.4 shaft and have commenced to deliver bricks on a contract to deliver several million bricks in a stipulated time. | D.C |

| Totley 100 Years Ago. In 1896 the Parish Council decided that the pinfold in Hillfoot Road was the place for depositing rubbish. You may think that the choice was not ideal being at the side of the school playground! The Totley Parish Council wrote to the Midland Railway asking them to erect a passenger station near the signal box at Totley Bottoms. Presumably this was the area by the footbridge on Totley Brook Road. As readers will know this request was made again by various people in more recent years. All to no avail! In 1896 the Parish Council received an estimate from the Sheffield United Gas Light Company of £94. 3s. 1d. for providing 25 lamps and posts on Abbeydale Road from Totley Brook to the end of the company's gas main. I'm not sure where that end was but presume that it may have been near the Cross Scythes. Anyway despite periodic complaints about poor street lighting, the Parish Council turned down the offer. Alf Tilley was lighting gas lamps in Totley, riding through the district on his bicycle carrying a short ladder, until the 1950s. Locals will remember that Alf later served as "Parkie" at Greenoak. It was in 1896 when the Parish Council discussed the relaying of the cricket pitch at the recreation ground in Totley Bents. They agreed to accept a tender from Mr. Holding for winter eating of the grass by his sheep for £1. It is only in the last year or so that David Holding stopped cutting the grass with his mighty bat playing for Totley Cricket Team. Incidentally, the 1896 Directory still lists Victoria Gardens at Totley Rise although I am sure that it was not still flourishing as a pleasure ground. However the maps about this time noted that Abbeydale Club occupied some of the ground. | ||
