I decided that it seemed silly not to have any info about Glossop, my place of birth and residence, not by any means a village but given a page here for convenience. There are 3 pages so far, detailed below.
The best books on the history of Glossop are: Glossop Dale, Manor and Borough by JScott, JH Smith and D Winterbottom, first published in 1973 and re-issued after being out of print for a number of years. (My copy has no ISBN number) The Book of GLOSSOP by JHanmer and D Winterbottom (1991) ISBN 0 86023 484 3 Annals of Glossop. The Years 1-2000 AD by Peggy Davies (1999) There are details of other books on G.Hadfiels's site (see below) back to top of page

Parish
records There are many gaps in the earlier years, late 1600s and early 1700s, and in the baptisms around 1780; all three (bapt., marr. and burials) stop at the end of 1837. The originals are held at Matlock if you need years after this There are some chapel records, I will add details later.
