1821 The land enclosed on Totley Common ( See 1753/1720) for the provision of a school wasnever carried out and the rent paid to the schoolmaster of Dore until 1821 for instructing 6Totley children. In that year it was determined to establish a school in the Township ofTotley and a subscription was paid for that purpose. The plan was however abandoned and aschool built by D’Ewes Coke on his own land and at his expense, it was proposed to investthe sum of £125 raised by subscription in the name of Trustees and to apply the interestthereof in increasing the schoolmistress’s salary. The land on Totley Common was then letto Thomas Hopkinson, as yearly tenant, at a good rent of £6 and this sum was paid to aschoolmistress, who instructed 6 children in reading without any charge to their parents.See later details of field rentals for school.

1823In the last issue, there was a short piece concerning the old Dore Chapel and I thought Iwould elaborate with details from my files. No doubt other readers may wish to add to theinformation below. However I think there was a misprint about the Rev. Frank Parker, heappears to have taken over as curate in 1809 not 1800.

The Church inDerbyshire in 1823/4MatLib

Brian Edwards’s Dore & Totley Transcripts: 1800-1900THE OLD CHAPEL(S) OF EASE IN DOREThe 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, meanbuilding, with a rotten roof, which was a Chapel of Ease (called this because it was easier tovisit than the Parish Church at Dronfield four and a half miles away). The Rev. Gibson inhis History of Dore assumes that, after reading Cox’s Churches of Derbyshire, the Chapelwas standing in pre-reformation times ie. 1530AD. The parliamentary commission appearsto 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, anAbbey place without cure of souls. We think that these places fitt to be united and made aparish, 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 Curateof Dore. Then in the 1698 Glebe Terrier for Dronfield, the Churchwardens state “ There isnothing at all that we can hear or learn that belongeth to this (Dore) Chapel” and thisstatement is followed by a discussion on the Easter Roll Dues in aid of the Chapel. In theGlebe Terrier for 1701, the statement is repeated with the further comment that Dore andTotley baptised their children, whilst marrying and burying at Dronfield .There is acomment in 1705/6 (source to be checked) that “Dore Chantry was demolished and a chapelbuilt 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 besucceeded by the Chapel. This appears to be confirmed by the Glebe Terrier for 1719 whichrefers to Dore Chappel being pulled down about 13 years previously “ Dore Chapel didnothing belonging until 1711, one house at Dore Town Head was left by Francis Camm ofHathersage towards maintenance of the curate”. The living was in 1720 and 1777augmented with Queen Anne’s Bounty to meet benefactions –1810 with £200 – and in 1820with a £600 parliamentary grant.EARLY CURATESCurates associated with the Chapel were Thomas Stanley who came to Dore around 1632from Handsworth before moving on to Eyam, Mr. Glossop 1760/73, Mr Webb 1773/1809and Francis Parker 1809/28. At the time of the opening of the new Church in 1828, it wassaid that the Chapel had been built about 200 years ago. There is an early baptismalregister, dated 1734 and in the hands of the Church authorities (according to Brelsford). Asfar as I know, there are three illustrations of the Chapel; a picture of 1820 is hanging in thevestry of the present Church ( Brelsford), a crude copy was made of it, and there is‘A SouthEast View of Dore Chapel in 1785’. The latter differs from the others in that it shows whatappears to be a belfry yet the following 1823 description of the Chapel quite definitelyrefers to a bell in an old shed. Had the belfry fallen down between 1785 and 1823, or had thebelfry been imagined? There appears to be a plaque over the door and the roof slates are notthe 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.DILAPIDATEDWhat 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 notassemble in it for Divine Worship; but met together in the schoolroom adjacent, where itwas performed. The pews were nearly all broken down, and scattered around; as was theceiling to so great an extent, as to be no preventative against the fury of the descendingstorms of snow and rain from entering”. I guess that sets the scene some five years before aVisitation, so unless radical work was undertaken in the intervening period, the place musthave been dreadful.VISITATIONIn July 1823, an inspection of Dore Chapel was taken and the report was referred to inAnswers to the Visitation of Dore Chapel of Ease. (As neighbouring Totley had neitherchurch nor chapel at that time, I would guess that the humble Dore building was used byTotley people too). At that time the Patron was Earl Fitzwilliam and the Improprietor wasthe 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 supportingthe bad, double-pitched roof of heavy, decayed (stone) slates; it lets in wet and the ceiling isquite ruinous. The walls are of stone, cracked at the west end and bulging out in variousplaces, especially at the south west corner. There is no steeple or tower, only a shed

Brian Edwards’s Dore & Totley Transcripts: 1800-1900containing 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 areno casements (no wooden opening frames). The doors are rotten and although the pulpit issound but mean, the floor of the desk is very bad, very bad; the hangings are tattered. Thereare 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 forsingers, and a few private seats in tolerable repair. The font is stone with a worm-eatencover and there are three benefaction tablets recording all the charities (these may be theones now in the Old Schoolhouse). The surplices are tolerably good but there is no linen orplate. 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 placeat Dronfield Parish Church), commencing 13th January 1813, (there is, according toBrelsford in his History of Dore & Totley, an earlier baptismal register dated 1734). Thereis space for a congregation of 300, but no place for the poor. The cleanliness is veryindifferent (!) 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 andeven the ground is not ascertained to belong to the Chapel. It would be of great advantage tohave a burial ground here as the dead are carried to Dronfield four and a half miles off overwretched 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 - morningsand evenings alternatively – prayers and sermon (probably weather permitting). Services arealso 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 notresident. The parsonage is a wretched, much dilapidated, cottage – perfectly unfit for theresidence of a clergyman”. Writing to the secretary of the Queen Anne’s Bounty about thelack of a parsonage house in Dore, he said “I am obliged to live in the Parish of Norton (5miles away); this together with the badness of road and the steep hills that I have to climb isa great drawback on the discharge of my Pastoral Duties. Indeed it is quite impossible forme to visit my people in the winter season without injuring my health” (Perhaps that is whyhe finished that year). Parker performed all duties. The gross value of his salary was £70paand he was granted no surplice fees. Easter dues and small payments were received by theVicar 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 followedin 1849 by the Rev. Aldred. Benefactions concerned some 8a2r30p of land and 28 newenclosures. There was an endowed school next door and a subscription day school, teachingreading, writing and arithmetic to about 50 boys and girls, which was combined with theSunday School that had 150 to 200 children; The township population is quoted as 850 in1823.RICHARD FURNESSThe parish clerk at that time was appointed by the trustees (including the minister) and wascalled Richard Furness, later to be schoolmaster, writer and architect (in 1828) of thereplacement church. He, not only designed the present church but also acted as clerk ofworks and worked on the ornamental stonework and without pay! The Churchwarden wasJohn Shearwood who noted that D’Ewes Coke, agent to the Duke of Rutland, was to be seenregarding repairs if the Chapel was not to be rebuilt. It would then have a new stone floorand ceiling, the bulging wall on the south side and south west end rebuilt, the roof and gutterinspected and effectually to be repaired, window casements made, new door and new coverfor 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 rebuiltand 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 waspreferred! As it was the whole of the material from the Chapel was used in the building ofthe Church which cost £1000, sixty percent of which was raised by church rates and the restby subscriptions. At the time of the bankruptcy of Parker, Shore and Co., Bankers, onehundred and twenty pounds were still owing by Dore Church, which was written off as abad debt. Afterward, on the sale of the remainder of Newton Shore’s land at Dore, thatgentleman made the church a present of Cat Croft to enlarge the graveyard. This land wasdrained 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 vacantsurrounding land was sold to John Wilson for £30. Three roods of land were given byNewton Shore Esq., as a site for the Church and Graveyard. The replacement remained as aChapel of Ease until 1844 when it became a Parish Church separate from Dronfield butincluding Totley. In 1876, with the expanding population, helped by the provision of a

1828 Charity Commissioners’ Report gives full details of Totley School charity and GreensCharity. Totley SchoolWe have on our account of Dore School, given the particulars of the gift of Rev. RobertTurie, of whose legacy one third being £13 6s8d was paid for enclosing land on TotleyCommon. By indentures of lease and release, bearing date 10 and 11 October 1753, betweenFrancis Lord Middleton, Lord of the Manor of Totley of the first part, and Edmund Offleyand five others of the other part; reciting, that the said E.O. and others, were the principalfreeholders or inhabitants within the said manor, and had rights of Common on all commonsand waste ground within the said manor; and being desirous of erecting a school house andmaking a provision for the teaching of such children, as thereinafter mentioned; had appliedto the said Lord M. to grant such a piece of the said commons, as thereinafter mentioned, thesaid Lord M. granted to E.O. and others and their heirs, a piece of ground, commonly calledthe Croft Heads, being part of the waste belonging to the manor of Totley, estimated at 4acres, in trust, for erecting a school or school house upon the same, and to receive the rentsand profits of such school or school house, and of the premises thereby granted, and to applythe same for the teaching of English, and in the Church Catechism, six poor children, boysor girls, of and belonging to the liberty of Totley, such as the said trustees for the time beingshould think proper to nominate for that purpose; and it was provided that Lord M and hisheirs should be always trustees and whenever two only of the trustees should be living, thesurvivers should appoint other freeholders of the manor, and convey the premises to the useof 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 landmentioned, it appears that William Green adanced £25 for which interest was paid to himfor some years, and in discharge of which he ultimately, in 1795, accepted a lease for 21tears at the rent of £4.The original intention of building a school on this land was never carried into effect; anduntil 1821, when the Dore Enclosure was nearly completed, the rent of this land was paid tothe 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 subscriptionwas raised for erecting a building for that purpose. The plan, however, has been sinceabandoned, and a school has been built by D’EWES Coke Esq,(of Totley Hall)on his ownland., and at his own expense; and it is proposed to invest the sum of £125., which had beenraised by subscription, in the names of the trustees, and to apply the interest thereof inincreasing the schoolmistress’s salary.The land on Totley Common is now let to Thomas Hopkinson, as yearly tenant, at a goodrent of £6 and this sum has since 1821 been paid to a schoolmistress who has instructed 6children in reading, without any charge to the parents.Lord Middleton is now the only trustee under the deed of 1753. The management of the landhas been left principally to Wm., Green nephew of William Greenat whose expense theenclosing of the land was principally effected.

1846 Derbyshire Directory gives the following: Totley is a township within the Parish of DoreG B Greaves – D’Ewes Coke Esq. are considerable owners. Lord Middleton is Lord ofthe Manor. In 1839 the tithe of the old enclosure was commuted for £18 6s11d to theimproprietor and £2 7s6d to the Vicar of Dronfield This was formerly a bleak moorydistrict which since the Enclosure has been greatly improved by cultivation. It containsabout 500 acresof land (this seems very low! B.E.) 83 houses and 408 inhabitants ofwhom 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, bywhich they are mostly employed. Near the Sheffield Road is an ancient cupola forsmelting lead occasionally worked by Mr Sorby (solicitor) of Sheffield. An infanr schoolwas built by D’Ewes Coke in 1827The Feast is the first Sunday after Mid-summers Day. By indentures 1753 about 4 acresof 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 forthe instruction of six poor children. Some time ago the inhabitants proposed to build aschool, by subscription, the plan however was abandoned, and a school has been built byD’ewes Coke on his own land. A sum of £125 raised towards building the school was putout to interest for the use of the schoolmaster. William Green 1786, left a rent-charge of12s yearly, out of his house and croft in Totley, for a distribution of bread at Dore Chapelevery fourth Sunday. Robert Turie gave £40 for the benefit of the Chapelry of Dore twothirds of this sum was expended in 1747, in enclosing a piece of Common on Dore MoorSide, the remainder was laid out in enclosing land on Totley Common, the proceeds aregiven to the schoolmaster.Mentions Cannon Hall as a farmhouse.

It was said that a can of gunpowderwas thrown through his dwelling room window at Greenoak Toll Bar at Totley and that agreat deal of damage was done to his house and furniture. As it turned out, it appeared tobe a case of "private malice" rather than a trade union outrage.

1888 Tunnel Friday evening, Rock Mining Co. of London tried experiment to test their newmachinery in a field at Totley Bents. Boring machinery weighed over 4 tons constructedto work by compressed air (although it wasn't tested well enough yet). But had to usesteam power drills 20ft long, 3.5" diam. and gave 350 blows to the minute, 36" apart andworking 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 (justintroduced). The report was heard a mile away. Capt. Penrose, Head of Rock Mining andMr. T. Eaton, mining engineer of Totley, Manager of Works, descended shaft andascertained that gelignite had reduced the rock to small pieces which can easily beremoved with pick & shovel. On Friday, when fractured rock was removed, it was foundthat the rock had been shattered for 5ft. beyond the 10ft. holes, and 45 tons were maderemovable. The experiment was considered highly satisfactory and Rock have thereforedecided to immediately use the compressed air equipment.6 Oct.

1889 Feb./March. Samuel Ward summoned for beating his wife Fannie - interesting reading. D.C.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 endis progressing rapidly. Delay has been caused by by a landowner not giving up some landto 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 offmain line which runs into a field adjacent to Dore Station and which is now being used asa contractors storeyard. Stables, workshop and other buildings have been erected. Anoverland line has been commenced which goes from the storeyard and crosses thehighway opposite. Should open weather continue, a temporary line will be completed andready for use in a week and will thus take an amount of heavy traffic off the roads. Thereare upwards of 200 navvies employed in making the open cutting up to the tunnel mouthat Totley Bents. The soil which has been removed out of the cutting up to now has beenused for for the overland line to be raised down Totley Brook. At the tunnel mouth a shafthas been sunk upwards of 60ft. deep to level of line. A 10ft. heading has been driven 300yards in a tunnel in N.E. direction. When miners had driven about 80 yards it becamenecessary to sink another shaft owing to quantity of water which came upon them and thisshaft (No.1) is being used for pumping operations. A 25H.P. boiler has been fixed andused to supply steam to work pump. Pumping operations are continuous both night andday and at times not sufficient to keep down water for miners to continue work. About100 yards from this is shaft No2 which is used for workers to descend. A steam crane ishere employed (see photo B.E.) to draw out the bind, metals having been laid and craneafter drawing bind to surface is set in motion and thus runs on the metals to any particularplace required to deposit stuff and this saves a large amount of manuel labour. About 200yards further on is No.3 shaft. The miners here have been busily engaged in sinking andhave commenced driving a heading. A number of miners huts have been erected near toNo.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 nowoccupied. Provision stores were opened Saturday. At present there are 400 persons havebeen 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 thefoot of Totley Moor to No.4 shaft and have commenced to deliver bricks on a contract todeliver several million bricks in a stipulated time.

1896 Whites DirectoryTotley 100 Years Ago.In 1896 the Parish Council decided that the pinfold in Hillfoot Road was the place fordepositing rubbish. You may think that the choice was not ideal being at the side of theschool playground!The Totley Parish Council wrote to the Midland Railway asking them to erect a passengerstation near the signal box at Totley Bottoms. Presumably this was the area by thefootbridge on Totley Brook Road. As readers will know this request was made again byvarious people in more recent years. All to no avail!In 1896 the Parish Council received an estimate from the Sheffield United Gas LightCompany of £94. 3s. 1d. for providing 25 lamps and posts on Abbeydale Road fromTotley Brook to the end of the company's gas main. I'm not sure where that end was butpresume that it may have been near the Cross Scythes. Anyway despite periodiccomplaints 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 bicyclecarrying 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 therecreation ground in Totley Bents. They agreed to accept a tender from Mr. Holding forwinter 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 hismighty bat playing for Totley Cricket Team.Incidentally, the 1896 Directory still lists Victoria Gardens at Totley Rise although I amsure that it was not still flourishing as a pleasure ground. However the maps about thistime noted that Abbeydale Club occupied some of the ground.
