FRONT COVER
The Tornabuoni Chapel frescoes, by Domenico Ghirlandaio(1449 – 1494) and many
assistants, were painted in four courses along three walls, in the choir of Santa Maria
Novella. The main subjects were the lives of the Madonna and St. John the Baptist. The
series on the life of Mary, executed with the utmost attention to realistic detail, appear to
represent domestic scenes from the contemporary life of Florentine nobility, rather than a
cosmic event. Ghirlandaio's full name is given as Domenico di Tommaso di Currado di
Doffo Bigordi.

A View from the Vicarage…
Dear Friends
ALONE
Have you seen the John Lewis Christmas advert on TV?
The warmth of a little girl's home contrasts with the
bleakness of the situation for an elderly 'man on the moon'. We're made to
realise that he is alone and a world away from brightness, colour and – what
almost everyone human being craves at least some of the time –
companionship.
The Ad is intended to highlight the problems of loneliness, especially
amongst the elderly, especially at Christmas. For that, if we are prompted at
all to remember the aged and to include the lonely, it has a good purpose.
ALONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
What I'm far less keen on is the fact that this loneliness can apparently be
helped out hugely by the gifts bought from John Lewis and flown over to the
moon by balloons. The old man knows someone is thinking of him.
Yes, that's true but it doesn't take the place of the warmth of human touch,
the sense of being included, the place of safety and security, the knowledge
that when Christmas Day is over, there might still be someone there
tomorrow and the next day.
NEVER ALONE
The point of Christ's birth was that he became 'incarnate' – he took on all
that being human meant. He came to share human existence. That included,
at the last, the sense of being utterly alone as he died, but still somehow
holding on to a hope of something new. He came, lived, died and rose from
death to show us a way that is about being loved, cherished and cared for, (Continued on page 7)

I applaud what's good in the John Lewis advert but let's not confuse
shopping and present-giving with the life-giving and much more costly gifts
of time, love and companionship that will make life better for many who
really need it.
May the peace and presence of Jesus Christ bless you this Christmas

‘KINDER PEOPLE’ by Pam Gee
Hayfield Civic Trust is delighted to announce the re-issue of Pam Gee’s
fascinating book ‘Kinder People’ which she first published in 1985.
Pam has lived in Hill Houses since 1959 and has always had a keen interest
in the history of this area. With the help of neighbours, she has collected
tales about families and farms in the Kinder Valley which reflect a way of
life which has now vanished. Many of the details reflect the character and
fortitude of these farming families, recounted in a most entertaining way.
The book costs £3.50 and can be obtained from Hayfield News or from
Sheila Booth [email protected] Tel. 01663 742872.

Hayfield in the olden times, 700 years of Hayfield history. (#9)
Based on a series of articles that appeared in the High Peak Reporter
between June and December 1909. Extracted by Keith Holford and kindly
offered to our magazine.
Part IX . August 7 1909.
Joseph Hague the Benefactor
Before making allusion to one of Hayfield’s most distinguished persons, we
cannot but notice Joseph Hague, who may well be denominated Hayfield’s
benefactor. But so much has been said, and so often, concerning this worthy
that anything said here might savour of repetition, hence brevity. Born at
Chunal in 1695, he was one of the men who began life with the traditional
two and six pence, and attained to the opulence of Croesus.
Joseph Hague’s first transactions were done trudging over the hills as a
pedlar with a few small items in a basket. Then he bought a donkey, at 21 he
settled in London and became a wealthy merchant. Indeed he became
fabulously rich, and in the years of his retirement came to reside in Park Hall
were he died in 1786, aged 90. Strange to say, all his 12 children, ten sons
and two daughters all died in their minority, and he adopted and left fortunes
to a big family named Doxon, of Padfield. Eight years before he died he
built and endowed the Charity School at Whitfield. He left interest on £1000
to be laid out in clothing for twelve poor men and twelve poor women out of
the eight poor townships of Glossop Dale for ever. He endowed the
Whitfield School with a house and land at Low Leighton, in Bowden
Middledale, left a guinea a year to the vicar of Glossop for preaching a
sermon annually on the 26th of August, 5s for the clerk, and 15s 6d, towards
repairing and keeping clean his vault at Glossop, Interest of £105, to the
trustees of the school at Hayfield, this interest to be applied towards the
education of ten poor children for ever. These sums accounting to £1,627
were laid out in the purchase of in 3% Consols, which in 1846 stood in the
name of Thomas Wagstaff, of Highgate. The dividends amounted to £48
15s. 2d, of which, £37 5s 4d was paid to Glossop Dale School, £3 414s 6d to
Whitfield School, £3 18s 2d to Hayfield School, £1 1s to the vicar of
Glossop, 5s to the clerk, and £2 12s. 2d. per annum formed a fund for the
repair of the testator’s vault whenever it should be required. Joseph Hague’s
charities are still being strictly administered.
21
In Hayfield Church there is a sonorous mural monument in marble to Joseph
Hague’s memory. It appears that the beautiful monument was first erected in
Glossop Church, where the good man it commemorates is buried. The
chancel of this edifice was to be rebuilt, and the churchwardens were sorely
exercised as to the removal of the Hague memorial to a place of safety.
Fearful lest it should be stolen [it cost £420, and was the work of the famous
sculptor, Bacon], these sagacious Dogberrys placed it in the lock-up. When
thus ‘in durance vile’ the occupancy of the cell was shared by a violent
“drunk and disorderly,” who, in a state of liquid lunacy, commenced a
violent attack on the white and silent bust. The monument to this day bears
marks of the disfigurement. So discreditable a transaction excited the
indignation of Captain White, of Park Hall, who had succeeded to the Hague
estate, and he caused the monument to be at once taken out of custody, and
erected in Hayfield Church, where it has received better treatment than it
met with at Glossop. That is 80 years ago.
There is a strange sequel to this strange story, which is not without a tender
touch of pathos. Many years afterwards an elderly stranger sought the parish
clerk of Hayfield, and desired admission into the church to see the Hague
monument. After gazing at the memorial with reverent earnestness for some
time he expressed his satisfaction at seeing it so well cared for. The verger,
concluding that the visitor was connected with the family, told him of the
inglorious incident of the lock up. With tears in his eyes, the stranger
stopped the recital of the story. ”Nobody knows that better than me,” he
said, “I was the drunken man who knocked the monument about in the
Glossop lockup. I have since been abroad for many years, and have only just
returned to England. The damage I did to the monument often troubled my
conscience and I have determined that as soon as I set foot in England again
I would at once journey to Derbyshire to see what had become of it, and now
I am satisfied.” It is an interesting story, and quite true.

WORKING TOGETHER FOR A
GREENER FUTURE
ONE REPORT, TWO REQUESTS –
AND MANY WISHES
1. THE REPORT - Many thanks to those readers
who braved a windy night in mid-November to join
us for Professor Kevin Anderson’s climate change presentation at The Royal
Hotel.
An audience of almost 100 from all over High Peak heard warnings about
the risks of uncontrollable climate change and the challenges facing the
world’s leaders at the forthcoming Paris international climate summit. His
presentation highlighted the urgent need for us all to cut our carbon
emissions.
Professor Anderson outlined his own doubts that, even now, there is enough
far-sightedness amongst nations’ leaders to take the required steps to cut
steadily increasing carbon emissions, and curb rising global temperatures.
But he also identified some steps that could be taken to make a real
difference. This magazine’s editor was among those present and called it ‘a
masterly presentation’.
Sustainable Hayfield expected a good turnout but numbers exceeded our
expectations. Prof. Anderson held the audience’s rapt attention throughout.
It was a very impressive, and sobering, presentation, with much food for
thought. Every copy of a guide we had about how individuals can cut their
own carbon emissions was taken. This shows the extent of local concern
about this issue.
Linked to the event, Sustainable Hayfield has now joined with other
Derbyshire groups to petition the Derbyshire Pension Fund, which controls
pension investments for employees of 170 Derbyshire-based public sector
organisations - including the county and district councils - to begin to
disinvest in fossil fuel industries. It is the burning of these industries’
products which the world scientific consensus holds is a major source of the
greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change.
We’re doing this because, with viable alternative sources of energy now
23
increasingly being developed, we need to see investment redirected into
more productive technologies. Currently, Derbyshire Pension Fund currently
has £290million invested in fossil fuel industries. This is unsustainable.
We’re petitioning for the Fund to cease new investments in the sector, and
gradually and prudently withdraw these investments over five years. As it
is, they look increasingly out of date and poor value for pensioners.
Universities and public bodies across the world have already taken similar
action to achieve this, as have other UK councils.
Details of the petition, and its rationale, are at: https://
campaigns.gofossilfree.org/petitions/divest-derbyshire
2. TWO REQUESTS
First, news has reached us that Primrose Court is looking for some
‘nostalgia displays’ for its laundry area. So, if you have an old dolly tub,
washboard, pack of carbolic soap or even old washing powder packets (or
anything else returning us to days of yore), contact the Scheme Manager
Jacky Blackshaw at Primrose Court (01663 795461 or 07710 922759 or
As it’s good use for old – maybe unwanted – things, Sustainable Hayfield is
happy to promote this!
?????????????????
Second, each issue of the magazine we try to bring readers up to date with
what we’re doing, all in the aim of trying to lessen our footprints on this
marvellous but fragile planet and help ensure it’s in a fit state to pass on to
our children, our children’s children and so on down the generations. But are
there things we’re missing? Should we be doing something we’re not? Have
you any suggestions for future focus for Sustainable Hayfield? We’d be
delighted to hear any ideas you may have. Please let Laurie James know if
you’ve something you think we should be doing. He’s at 01663 745940, and
07867 578326 or at [email protected]. Sustainable Hayfield’s
website will also bring you up to date with our ‘goings-
on’ (www.sustainablehayfield.com). Thanks!
3. FINALLY, MANY BEST WISHES to all the magazine’s readers for a
happy Holiday period and, we hope, an even more sustainable New Year!
24
From our South East of England correspondent…
It hardly seems possible that another year is drawing to a close…. I wonder
what the last twelve months have been like for you. Probably the year has
been a little like the curates egg – some good times and some not so good.
We have enjoyed some lovely days with the family, caught up with ‘old’
friends and spent time with new friends. It has been great to welcome
visitors to our ‘new’ home. A good number of the visitors came from the
Hayfield direction! We really appreciate the way in which people have kept
in touch – the telephone is a wonderful invention along with Skype and Face
Time!
Recently Ann and I visited a lovely National Trust Property the trees were
displaying some stunning autumn colours. What a wonderful thing nature is.
One of the downsides of autumn is the ‘mess’ in the garden, plants that a
few weeks ago were full of lovely flowers are now simply wet and soggy!
The squirrels too are making their presence felt. Not to mention all those
leaves – swept up one day with tree times as many on the ground the
following day!
But of course peoples thoughts are turning to Christmas, having said that,
when Ann was recently reading a special Christmas magazine that she had
been given, she commented that there was not a single mention of the birth
of Jesus. Jesus gave up so much to come to this earth to live and die for us.
We are reminded of this fact in the book addressed to the Philippians
Chapter 2 verses 5-8
Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ who did not
consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
I am sure you will have seen one of those car stickers, proclaiming ‘A Dog
Is Not Just For Christmas’. Well neither is Jesus and He has promised to be
with us all the time – if we want Him to be.

The alternative speaker who came to HAYFIELD & DISTRICT WI’s November
meeting was a great success. Kevin told us about some of the gardens in Cheshire
where he had spent a number of years tending them, together with their beautiful
house, being raised to the ground to be replaced by modern houses with no soul.
He had clients who thought nothing of spending thousands of pounds on plants, one
who even spent £30,00.00 importing and having planted a 30ft. tree. Footballers
who only wanted all blue or all red flowers because of the team they played for.
But he also showed us some beautiful slides of some of the more unusual plants he
propagates at his Nursery in Hazel Grove. Members enjoyed purchasing some of
his plants and I am sure they will be paying a visit to the Nursery when the spring
comes.
Mildred and myself spent a pleasant morning at Whitestones in Chapel-en-le- Frith
where we talked with the clients and told them a little of what we do at Hayfield
WI. Amongst them was Betty Titterton who had been a member with us for many
years. It was good to see how well the staff cared for them and the pleasant
surroundings in which they live.
We are now coming to the end of this, our Centenary year, with just one more
meeting to come. On Wednesday 16th December we will be welcoming a speaker
from the Nepalese Children’s Trust to tell us about the work they are doing in
Melamehighyang, a village affected by the earthquake earlier this year, where
everyone (about 500 – 600) were made homeless. With the help of the Trust
everyone now has some form of shelter. Please come along to hear about this
inspiring work and enjoy Mulled Wine and Mince Pies with us.
The Kinder Group will be holding their Christmas Celebration at Trinity Church,
Whaley Bridge on Thursday 10th December at 7.30pm. All are welcome.
Our first meeting of 2016 will be on Wednesday 20th January when we will be
showing the video of the May Madness event we performed in at Glossop.
May we wish you all a Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
