and he with Hy. Bowdon, Esq., the Venerable. Archdeacon Hill, and Mr. John
Ludlow, are the principal owners. Here are also several smaller owners. The
Church, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, is an ancient edifice, partly in the
Norman and partly in the later style of architecture; it is situated about ¼ mile
E. from the village, and consists of side aisles, a square embattled tower,
with four pinnacles and three bells. The living

M.A., who resides at the Rectory, a commodious brick residence a short distance
from the church, and has 65A. 1R. 8P.
of glebe. Tithes have been commuted and thc parish lands were enclosed in
1780. The Wesleyan Methodists have a small neat stone chapel here, erected by
subscription in 1837, at a cost of £80, which will seat 60 persons. The
Wesleyan Association chapel, situated nearly in the centre of the village is a
neat brick building, and will hold about 100; and the Primitive Methodists have
a small stone chapel, erected in 1834, which will accommodate about 80. Here is
an Endowed school, erected in 1726,—(see charities),—a small ancient building,
situated at the east end of the village. Harlesthorpe
is a small hamlet and village, about ¾ mile, north, from the Church. Whitebrick-moor consists of several
scattered farms, of which two are in this parish. Romely House is a neat mansion, pleasantly situated about 3 miles
S. from Eckington. In the tastefully laid out pleasure grounds are two avenues
of yew frees, remarkable for their curious growth; the shrubberies contain a
great variety of beautiful fir trees; it is the property of the Venerable
Archdeacon Hill, and residence of Godfrey Croft, Esq. Southgate House, the seat and property of Henry Bowdon Esq., is a
handsome modern mansion, fronting the east on the Chesterfield and Worksop
road, 1 mile N.N.E. from Clown church, and 9 miles E. by N. from Chesterfield,
is delightfully situated in a fine and healthy country surrounded by thriving woods
and plantations; it is within the ancient manor of Harlesthorpe, of which Mr.
Bowdon is the proprietor. The family of Bowdon is of great antiquity, in the
county of Derby, and was resident for four centuries at Bowdon Hall, near
Chapel-en-le-Frith; that estate however, passed from the family, through an
heiress, in 1680. From that time the family has been chiefly resident either at
Beighton Fields, in the parish of Barlborough, or at Southgate House. Mr.
Bowdon is the representative of the family in male descent. The first of this
family we have on record is Thomas Bowdon, of Bowdon Hall, living in 1450,
although the family had been resident there from 1317, in which year they built
the chancel of the church at Chapel-en-le-Frith, and from that time it was
commonly called Chapel Bowdon. Thomas was succeeded by his son George, of
Bowdon, who married Barbara, daughter of Nicholas Bagshaw, of Abney. He left a
son, George, of Bowdon, living in 1550, who married Ellen, daughter of Austin
Pole, of Langley, who was succceded by his son Thomas, of Bowdon, who married
Anne daughter of Henry Bagshaw, of Ridge. He left with other children Nicholas
and George. Nicholas, the eldest, married the heiress of Barnby, and had three
sons, all of whom died without issue, when the Bowdon Hall estate passed to his
brother George, who left two daughters, and who carried the estate out of the
family. Thomas Bowdon, (the second surviving son of Thomas, who married Anne
Bagshaw,) married Ellen Shrigley, and settled at Whetstone; he left two sons,
Henry and John, the former of whom married the sister and heiress of John
Alleyne, of Whetstone Hall; John, his brother, married the daughter of Richard
Beard, of Beard Hall, and died of the plague in 1665, without issue. Henry left
a son (Henry) who however did not take any benefit from his uncle Alleyne’s
bequest of the Whetstone property, as the protestant
CLOWN PARISH. 733
heir succeeded in wresting the estate from
him by means of the penal law against Catholics then in force. The above
mentioned Henry married the only daughter and heiress of John Hewet, of
Beighton Fields, from whom he acquired that estate, and which still remains in
the family. He left a son John, who had three wives, leaving issue by all of
them, the eldest son (John) by the first wife Mary, daughter of John Barker, of
Barlborough House, married Alice, daughter of George Johnson, of Shelfield, in
Warwickshire, an elder sister of his father’s third wife, and left a son, Henry
Bowdon, of Southgate House and Beighton Fields, he married Mary, daughter and
heiress of Joseph Erdeswick, of Hartley, representative of the ancient family
of that name of Sandon Hall, in Staffordshire; he left an only son, John Bruno
Bowdon, of Southgate House and Beighton Fields, who married Mary Martha, eldest
daughter of Edward Ferrers, Esq., of Baddesley Clinton, in Warwickshire,
representative in the mail line of that ancient and noble family. The above
named John B. Bowdon served the office of high sheriff in 1841, be left at his
death in 1850, two sons and four daughters, Henry the eldest,, a magistrate and
deputy lieutenant for the county of Derby, married in 1853, Henrietta Matilda,
daughter of Michael Henry Blount, Esq., of Mapledurham by his wife Elizabeth,
daughter of Charles, tenth Lord Petre, and has a daughter Alice; John the
second son, inherited the Pleasington Hall estate, Lancashire; by the bequest
of his cousin, Mary Anne Butler, and married in 1849, Amelia, daughter of
George Whitgreave, Esq., of Moseley Court, Staffordshire, and has a son,
Erderswick, and other children. He is a magistrate and deputy lieutenant of
Lancashire. Helena, the eldest daughter, married Peter Constable Maxwell, Esq.,
third son of Marmadule C. Maxwell, Esq., of Everingham Park. Barbara married
Edward Wright, Esq., of Kelvedon Hall. Fanny is a nun in the convent at
Oulton, in Staffordshire.
CHARITIES.—Elizabeth Slater, in 1706, left £5, whereof £2 was employed in building the poor’s seat
in the church—3s. in respect of the remainder is paid out of the estate of
Henry Bowdon, Esq.
Rev. Francis Gisborne’s charity.—(See Bradley.)—The annual sum of £5 10s., received by the incumbent, is
laid out in warm clothing and given to the poor.
SCHOOL—John Slater, in 1727, gave 40s. yearly,
charged on Hooker Pitts close and Gascoyne Pingles, to poor widows, until there
should be a schoolmaster in Clown, and then for the instruction of six
children.
Charles Basseldine, in 1730, surrendered certain lands in Bolsover, and
directed the rents to be given to a schoolmaster. The property belonging the
school consists of a house, orchard, and croft, together about 3 acres,
Damsbrook Meadow closes, called Stone Top and the Esps, with an allotment of
5A. 1R. 6P. in lieu of common right, in consideration of the rents, the master instructs
20 children, and 4 for Slater’s donation.
Church Lands.—In the parish book there is a statement of various
lands left for the repairs of the church, the whole contains about 5A., let for
£3 6s. 8d. which is carried to the churchwardens’ general account.
William Wilkson, in 1666, left a rent charge of £5 out of the moor close, in the parish
of Bolsover, to be given to the poor.
Edward Woodhead, in 1697, gave to the poor 20s. yearly, out of Romely close.
Andrew Clayton, in 1701, left 20s. yearly, out of lands at Romely. The poor have also 5s. per annum, from the bequest of
John Watkinson, left in 1704, and 10s. left by Richard Johnson, in 1714.
Frances Tomkin, in 1705, gave to the poor Saffer’s close, let for £3 per annum; the
land was open to an adjoining field, but stones are fixed to mark the boundary.
Elizabeth Denham, in 1720, left a house at Clown, the rents to be divided amongst poor
widows of Clown and Eckington. A house and croft in Clown, occupied by a widow
named Lowde, and claimed as her own, are the premises supposed to be given by
Mrs. Denham. It appears Mrs. Lowde’s mother,
a poor woman, was by the parish permitted to occupy them rent free, many years,
till the daughter claims them as her own. An allotment of 1A. 3R. 1P. was
awarded at the enclosure, now let for £1 18s. per annum, which is divided
between the two parishes.

value, £2,828 8s. 9d. The Duke of Devonshire is lord of the manor and principal
owner. The Exors. of the late D’Ewes Coke, Esq., Henry Hancock and R. N. Shaw,
Esqrs., are also owners. The Church, dedicated to Christ, is a small neat
Gothic stone structure, with a low embattled square tower, and was rebuilt on a
more convenient site, in the year 1828, for which land was given by the Duke of
Devonshire, the cost, £1,000, was partly raised by rate and partly by
subscription, aided by a grant of £300 from the Church Building Society; it
contains 600 sittings, of which about one half are free. The living is a perpetual curacy, value £90,
and in 1720 and 1777, was augmented with Queen Anne’s bounty to meet
benefactions—in 1810, with £200,—and in 1820, with £600 parliamentary grant.
Earl Fitzwilliam is patron, and the Rev. J. T. F. Aldred, M.A., incumbent, who
resides at the Parsonage, a large handsome brick mansion, erected in 1841 by
Earl Fitzwilliam; it is situated a short distance from the church. At the
enclosure, 94 acres of land were awarded to the vicar of Dronfield, for tithe
and other land to the impropriator. Here is a Free school,—(see charities),
built 1821, on the site of the old chapel, and endowed by the Rev. Robert
Turrie, and others. The master receives £40 per annum, for which he instructs
as many poor children as that sum will pay for at 3d. per week. Here are a few

enclosure has been greatly improved by cultivation; the population has kept
increasing with the improvements in agriculture, by which they are mostly
employed. In 1839, the tithe of the old enclosure was commuted for £18 6s.
11d, to the impropriator, and £2 7s. to the vicar of Dronfield, and the new was
exonerated by allotments at the enclosure. Near the Sheffield road is an

acres, was conveyed to trustees, in order that a school might be erected upon
it, the intention was never carried into effect, and the land is let for £6

his own land. A sum of £125, raised towards building the school, was expended
in the purchase of land, at Coal Aston, now let for £6 per annum, which is also
given to the schoolmaster or schoolmistress, for the instruction of six other
poor children.

DRONFIELD is an extensive parish, forming the north-west extremity of the Scarsdale Hundred, having Yorkshire on the north, and consists of the five townships of Dronfield, Little Barlow, Coal Aston, Holmesfield, and Unstone. The whole parish contains 10,570A. 2R. 27P. of land, and in 1851, had 1,073 houses and 5,23l inhabitants, of whom 2,841 were males and 2,390 females; rateable value £14,610 5s. 1d. The townships of Dore and Totley were formerly in this parish, but by order of council, 31st January, 1844, they were united in a distinct parish for all ecclesiastical purposes.
DRONFIELD is a considerable
and ancient village and township, pleasantly situated in a romantic valley, on
the Chesterfield road, 6 miles S. by W. from Sheffield, the same distance N. by
W. from Chesterfield, and 156 miles N.N.W. from London. The township contains
2,414 acres of land, and in 1851, had 515 houses and 2,469 inhabitants, of whom
1,336 were males and 1,133 females; rateable value £6,340. The manorial rights
are vested in the Cecil family, and the land belongs to various owners. The air
is said to be remarkably salubrious, and in the village are some fine springs
of water. The place is fast improving, and becoming quite a populous
neighbourhood; several old cottages have been taken down and new ones erected,
principally at the north end of the village, but other places in proportion.
The inhabitants participate largely in the edge-tool, scythe, and sickle
manufactures; and here is an iron foundry, chemical works, corn mill, and
spindle and flyer manufacturers, &c.
The vicinity is noted for its superior coal, greatly in request for
converting and refining steel. It formerly had a market, but from its proximity
to Sheffield and Chesterfield, has long been disused. In 1854 the old Market
Cross was taken down, and a monument of stone, to the memory of Sir Robert
Peel, was erected on its site, at a cost of about £30, raised by subscription.
A fair is still held on April 25th, and a hiring for servants is also held on
the 3rd of November. The Church, dedicated to St. John Baptist, is a vicarage,
valued in the King’s book at £10 2s. 1d., now £224. In 1730 it was endowed with
£200 benefactions, and £200 Queen Anne’s bounty, and and in 1811, with a
subscription of £200, and a parliamentary grant of £600. The Lord Chancellor is
the patron, and the Rev. W. D. B. Bertles, M.A., incumbent. The Church is a
large and handsome gothic structure, 132 feet long, situated on an eminence,
and has nave, chancel, side aisles and tower; (in which are six bells,)
surmounted by a spire of the
738 SCARSDALE

same height. In 1843, Mr. Saml. Lucas, being
then churchwarden, presented a new dial for the church clock, which cost about
£50. In the church is a small but powerful organ, which has been removed from
the west end to the body of the church. In 1855 the church was thoroughly
repaired and re-pewed, at a cost of £1000, when 100 additional sittings, all
free, were obtained. It formerly had a chantry, which stood on the site of the
Green Dragon Inn, and was appropriated to Beauchief Abbey. In the church, are
brasses, representing members of a branch of the Eyre family, and in the
chancel, is a gravestone into which are inserted the figures of two priests,
engraved on brass plates, they are habited in copes, the borders of which are
ornamented with quartre-foils, between them is the figure of a bugle horn, and
beneath them are two latin inscriptions. In the south aisle is an altar tomb of
alabaster, enriched with figures of angels holding shields, upon it lies the
statue of a Knight, clothed in plate armour of the 15th century, without
helmet. In the west end of the church, is a stained glass window, representing
St. John the Baptist, and our Saviour. The tithes were mostly purchased by the
landowners, about eight years ago, for about £10,000; land was awarded in lieu
of small tithes in 1842. The township was partly enclosed, under an act passed
1842. The General Baptist Chapel, erected in 1853, at a cost of £130, raised by
subscription, is a neat stone building, with seats for 150 hearers, of which
100 are free. The Independent Chapel, erected by subscription, at a cost of
£1000, is a good stone building, with galleries, and will accommodate 500;
attached to which, is a day school, built in 1826, at a coat of £100, which
will hold about 100. The Wesleyans have also a chapel here, erected by the
Society of Friends, several years ago; it is a large square handsome building,
with galleries, and will hold about 300. The Grammar School is an ancient building, a short distance from the
church; it is endowed with lands, &c., left by Henry Fanshawe, in 1567, now
worth about £230 per annum. It is open to all the children of the parish, 30 of
whom are instructed free. The number of scholars at the present time is 51. The
Rev. John Cockerton, M.A., is the head master, and Mr. John Garland, second
master. The Mechanics’ Institution, established
October, 1850, consists of a library and reading rooms for all classes. The
library contains 404 volumes of carefully selected books in various branches of
literature, besides 191 periodicals, which afford the means for social,
intellectual and moral elevation. The news room is constantly supplied with
daily and weekly papers. The number of members are at present about 40, each of
whom pay 1s. 6d. per quarter subscription. Mr. Samuel Lucas is the secretary,
and Mr. John Rowe, librarian. The Gas
Works, situated on the turnpike road from Sheffield to Chesterfield, is a
small neat brick building, commenced, November, 1855, and completed, May, 1856,
at a coat of about £1,700, (and including the apparatus, £2,000,) raised by 400
shareholders of £5 each. The
gasometer holds 4,900 cubic feet, which is sold to the inhabitants at 6s. 6d.
per 1000 cubic feet. Mr. Geo. Brookes, is the resident manager.
The manor of Dronfield
belonged to the crown till the reign of King John, when it was granted to
William Briewer; it was afterwards successively held by the Cromwell, Hastings,
Seliokes, Morewoods, Burtons, and Rossingtons. Samuel Rotherham died seized of
it in 1795; he was sheriff in 1773. His sister and heir bequeathed it to Mr.
Joseph Cecil, in whose family it still remains.
COWLEY is a small village, 1
mile S.W. Woodhouse is another small
village, 1 mile N.W., where the Wesleyan Methodists have a chapel, built, 1844.
Here are several collieries. Summerwood
Top consists of a few scattered farms. ½ mile N.W. Mickley, 2 miles N.W. contains three farms and a few cottages. Hill-Top, consists of a few scattered
farms ½ mile S.
CHARITIES.—Henry Fanshawe, in 1567, left four years’ profit of his lease of the parsonage, and
certain lands, for building a school and maintaining a schoolmaster and usher
at Dronfield; a few small exchanges have been made, which appear advantageous
to the charity, and, the property now consists of a house, school, garden, and
croft, occupied by the head master, a house and yard occupied by the usher,
46A, of land. in Dronfield,
DRONFIELD PARISH. 739
26A. in Chesterfield, and seven acres in
Eckington, producing a rental of £230, of which two-thirds are paid to the head
master, and the remaining third to the usher, who instructs thirty children of
the parish free. Previous to 1809 a suit was pending in Chancery, having
originated in the appointment of the vicar to the office of schoolmaster, and
to a refusal on his part to instruct the free scholars in anything except the
classics. In consequence of this the school was for a time discontinued; but
in 1809 the Rev. William Spencer was appointed to the vicarage, and on his
application the suit was dismissed, and the costs of £1,100 were paid out of
the estate, for which purpose timber and beds of coal on the charity lands were
sold.
Richard Stevenson, in 1577, directed half a hundred of herrings and the bread from a
strike of wheat, to be distributed on every Friday in lent; he also left thirty
pence, to be given to the same number of poor persons. Edmund Stephenson left
33s. 4d., to be given to the poor yearly. These sums are charged upon a farm in
Unston quarter.
James Swift, in 1610, left a rent charge of £3, issuing out of a messuage in
Southwark; the amount is given in small sums to the poor.
Godfrey Godley, 1619, bequeathed 30s. yearly, charged on land in Handsworth, to be
distributed to the poor of the parish.
Penny Acre Dole. A sum of 17s. is received by the churchwardens from Holmsfield, in
respect of some land called the Penny Acres.
Rev. Lawrence Banks, in 1662, gave certain lands in Dronfield, for the benefit
of the poor. The property consists of 5A. 0R. 7P., let for £11 11s. a year,
besides which the getting of stone is let at the rate of £150 per acre. The
proceeds are distributed on Good Friday.
John Revell, 1659, gave the profits
of certain lands called the Nether and Over Deck Riddings, to the poor of the
parish. There are now three closes, about nine acres, let for £14 per annum,
which is distributed at Midsummer and Christmas.
Dorothy Hall, in 1711, bequeathed £100, to be invested in land, and the profits to be
given to the vicar, for preaching four sermons on certain days. We have not
been able to ascertain whether this was ever so laid out; but the vicar
receives £2 as the gifts of Dorothy and Richard Hall, and retains £1 15s. for
preaching sermons on Good Friday and Midsummer day, when he distributes 5s. in bread to the poor.
Andrew Morewood, in 1686, left the rents of a certain piece of land on trust; £2 thereof
to be given to the vicar, and four nobles each to Dronfteld, Coal Aston, and
Unstone, for the instruction of poor children. The property consists of 15A.
0R. 11P, of land, let for £10 10s. per annum. £2 is paid to the vicar, £1 6s.
8d. to three schoolmistresses, who instruct six children each, and the residue
is distributed amongst the poor of Coal Aston.
George Cooper, in 1763, left a rent charge of £2 12s., issuing out of his estate in
Ditch lane, for a distribution of bread amongst twelve poor persons, every
Sunday, of Dronfield, Unstone, and Coal Aston quarters, alternately, for ever.
Rev. Francis Gisborne’s charity (see Bradley).
The annual sum of £5 10s., received by the vicar, is laid out in warm
clothing, and given to the poor about Christmas.
Lost Charities. A sum of £3 per annum, left by Rebecca Wright in 1675,
and two other charities mentioned in the returns of 1786, we have not been able
to obtain any information of.
Thomas Taylor, in 1681, left his messuages and lands on trust, the profits thereof to
put forth poor children of Dronfield quarter apprentices.
Elizabeth Richardson, in 1684, devised certain lands on trust, to pay one
half of the yearly profits thereof to the vicar, to preach a sermon on the 5th
of August, and the other half for providing two coats for poor women. The
property is let for 36s. a year, which is given as directed.
Elizabeth Dale, in 1743, gave the yearly sum of 10s., to be distributed to ten poor
widows on St. Andrew’s day.
