IN presenting to the Subscribers this volume of Registers, I feel that my work in connection with writing the history of my native town is now completed. So long as these interesting records remained unpublished, the index appeared to be wanting to all that had pre- viously been written concerning the place. I feel therefore, that it is unnecessary for me to make any apology for this my last effort, or dwell at any length upon the value of manu- script records, such as the Topcliffe and Morley Registers. Suffice it to say, that I have no doubt this work will be found to possess a special interest, not only for the inhabitants of Moidey, but also for the anti- quary and the genealogist, who may not be so nearly allied to the families of whom the volume is a record. I have printed the Registers in their entirety (the original spelling of the names being retained), because to have eliminated, or altered what I might have deemed to be useless and uninteresting matter, would, in all probability, have destroyed the value of the book for historical and genealogical purposes. It seems likely that many of the descendants of "the rude forefathers of the hamlet," whose names are to be found in this volume, will in the future (as some have already done in the past, and the present), attain to positions of rank and distinction, and therefore I should be doing such persons an in- justice, had I limited my entries to those families, who have already attained a recognised social position.

For more than seven hundred year-, it was the only place for worship, or burial of the dead, for Morley and the surrounding villages, and during that long period, the Chapel was occupied at various times by Papists, Pro- testants and lYotestant Dissenters.

TIHIIE TOPCLIFFE, AND MORLEY REGISTERS. ®0pdiffe C0tt3r^ati0nal Cljapd. HIS small body of Congregational Dissenters, or Inde- pendents, was the first Congregational Church established in the West Riding, and owed its origin to a Mr. Chris- ' topher Marshall, who, whilst establishing this Church on Independent principles, occupied the post of Minister of the Parish Church of Woodchurch [Woodkirk] close by, from which he was ejected in 1662. After being ejected, he lived privately among his people, in a house of his own. Mr. Marshall was born in Lincolnshire; and "educated partly in Cambridge, and partly under Mr. Cotton, at Boston, in New England." During his connection with the Church at Topcliffe, he was, for a short time, " imprisoned, with several of his brethren, on account of a plot, but came clear off, there being nothing found against him." This would, in all prob- ability, have reference to the Farnley Wood plot, to which many of the ejected ministers in this neighbourhood were privy. After his ejection, it is probable that he preached to his flock in secret, and though the Five Mile Act drove him to Horbury, yet the meetings of his society were not suspended, and Marshall still met with thorn privately. During the ministry of Mr. Marshall, many distinguished persons were received into communion. In 1054, the year after the Church 2 TOPCLIFFE CHAPEL. .mi. -1. mention is made of Brother Gledhill* and Brother . Loth of whom were sent, subsequently, to Leeds, in 1072, .Imputation, to recogni/.e and congratulate the new Church, just formed in that town, under the pastorship of the Rev. Christopher MA. In lt'.7o, the Rev. David Noble, M. A. joined the Church. This eminent minister, ami schoolmaster, was born at Inverness, in Scotland, and educated at Christ College, Cambridge. His classical attainments were considerable. He taught a School in Morley, and amount his pupils were the two sons of Oliver Hey wood, who boarded in the house Of Thomas Dawson, probably lather of the minister at the Old Chapel. To this school, Joseph Lister, of Bradford, in 1079. sent his son. and in Mr. Lister's autobiography we read, " I was then at a loss, but I went to Morley, where Mr. Noble taught school at that time, and put my son (David) under his care, who was a diligent, faithful man. There my son profited much, and was soon fitted for University learning, but not having convenience of disposing of him at that time, he stayed another year and learned logic with him, in winch he was a good proficient." About 1078, Mr. Noble became ( haplain to — Woolhouse, Esq., of Glapwell, Derbyshire, and preached there and at Sutton. He died at Chapel Fold, November 2Gth, 1709, and was buried at Dewsbury. In 1001, Christopher Nesse, M.A. was admitted into Church-fellowship, and in the same year, Josiah Holds- worth. Nesse was born, December 20th, 1021, at North Cave, in the Riding, where his family had resided a considerable time, and w. re possessed of considerable wealth as shewn by the Wills at York. II.- wil educated at Cambridge, after which, he retired into the Country, during the Civil War, and preached for a while at Chile Chapel. He was at that time under the care of his Uncle, then Vicar of North Cave. He subsequently accepted a call to Holderness, and from thence removed to Beverley, where he kept a school, and preached occasionally. His next station appears to have been Collingham, the living of which was presented to him by Dr. Winter. In the course of a few years, he was called to Leeds, where he laboured with great suecess, as Lecturer at the Parish Church. He remained here during the Vicariate of Rev. William Styles, till 1000, and subse- quently during that of Dr. Lake, afterwards Bishop of Chichester, with whose High Church opinions, Nesse by no means agreed. Miall tells us that N.sse was at this time "avowedly an Independent in principle, having joined the Congregational Church at Topcliffe in the L661 : and the difference between his own teachings and that of Dr. Lake, became very marked and notorious. The Duke of Buck- ingham attempted to flatter him into Conformity after 1002, but Nesse was too high-minded to be cajoled. When the Five Mile Act was • In a Funeril Sermon, pnblishe 1 by Dr. Harris, 1719, for Mrs. Bathsheba Barker, (ilt'.lhill's daughter, he speaks of the eminent piety and holiness of this Gledhill. Hi* daughter, he says, felt it a singular honour to have descended from so good a man. NAYLOR, THE MAD QUAKER. 3 passed lie retreated to Clayton, and afterwards preached for a time at Morley, though that place was within the prohibited distance." In 1072, Nesse formed a religious society in Water Lane, Leeds, and became its first pastor. But when the persecution, which had been intermitted, was revived, Nesse became especially the object of attack. Seeing no probability of tranquility, he removed to London in 1675, where he preached to a congregation in Salisbury Court, Fleet Street. His death took place on December 2Gth, 1705, in the 84th year of his age, and he was buried in Bunhill Fields. Josiah Holdsworth, who joined the Church at Topcliffe, with Mr. Nesse, became the first pastor at Upper Chapel, Heckmondwike. He was educated at Cambridge, ejected from Sutton, and became chaplain to Sir Richard Houghton, of Houghton Tower, Lancashire, then an asylum for persecuted ministers. As he became a member at Top- cliffe in 1001, it is likely that he was ejected at the Restoration. In 1072, he went to reside at Heckmondwike, and received his dismissal from the Church at Topcliffe, August 24th, 1074, though he often preached at the old place, when it was without a pastor. Mr. Holdsworth died in 1085, aged 40. Calamy speaks of him as " a man of great piety, sincerity, strictness, and industry for the good of souls, and blessed with abundance of success. He was much beloved, and is still spoken of with great respect." He was buried at Topcliffe, but his tombstone exists no longer. James Naylor, the Quaker enthusiast, was originally a member of the Church at Topcliffe. He was brought before the Church on a charge of adultery. The meeting was held at Hague Hall, in the room called the Lord's parlour. Naylor went afterwards to London, and joined the Baptist Church of which Hanserd Knollys was minister, whence he was again expelled. The Church at Topcliffe was largely assisted by the ministrations of Oliver Heywood, B.A. as appears from the following entry in his "Event Book" under date "Munday, June 23, 1073. Some friends were with me from about Woodkirk upon a speciall occasion and John Koppindall told me before them all, and sd he was ingaged to declare it for my incouragemt that most of the persons that had been ad- mitted into Mr. Marshalls Church of late years, delivering their experiences, haue confessed that their first work was by my ministry, where they haue had occasion to hear me, in this sad and silencing time, and indeed I confesse god drew me out to preacli abroad at Hunslet, Bramley, Farsley, Pudsey, Morley, Idle — in publick, and multitudes of people flockt and were affected, and I now hear of some fruit. I hope there is more yet not discovered." In 1085, the society at Topcliffe was an important one, the heads of the families being about thirty in number, the chief of whom, were Madame Elizabeth Rokeby, Captain John Pickering, Mrs. Spencer. Mr. Isaac Balme, Mr. John Wordsworth, and a Mr. Samuel Craister. The last-named was no credit to the body, for we find the following [ TOPCUKFE CHAPEL. entry respecting him:— "Oct. Bl . 1677, Mr. Samuel Craister, excom- municated for drunkenness at Belby, Leeds, Pudsey— an iniquity too frequent with him." * The Church met for worship in Topeliffe Hall, then inhabited by Captain Pickering, a person in whom Cromwell expressed great confidence. ' No part of the Topeliffe (Impel now remains except a heavy oak door, which Mr. A. L>. Marker, the fanner there, had in 1 The hall was at one time the residence of Sir John Topeliffe, Chief Justice of Inland, and Master of the Mint, in the reigns of Henry Y1I. and V1I1., who was interred at West Ardslev Church, near Leeds. In the middle of the chancel floor of West Ardsley, Wood- church, or Woodknk, lies the tomb of Sir John Topeliffe, bearing an inscription round the edges, and a large carved cross in the centre, within which were the letters I.H.C. The cross is erected on live steps, and is not defaced ; but much of the inscription has become illegible. We are indebted, first to Dr. Whitaker, and later to Mi;. Scatcherd for preserving the words of this most interesting tomb. Sir John was a notable man in his time, being Chief Justice of the King's Bench, Master of the Mint, and a high officer in the households of Kings Henry VII. and VIII. He resided in his own house at Top- eliffe, in those reigns, and probably in the reign of Richard III. Much of his great house has disappeared ; much also remains, but no bed as in Mr. Scatcherd's time, nor anything that can be immediately connected with the Chief Justice. He died there in 1518 or 1514. Dr. Whitaker and Mk. Scavchhbd give these dates respect- ively. The slab covering his grave measures Gft. 9in. by 8ft. Sin. Mr. Scatc -herd says it was almost perfect in his time (1830), and that the following was the inscription : — " Orate pro anima Johannis Topeliffe, quondam Capitalis Justiciarii Domini Regis Henrici VII. • • VIII., in Hibernia, item magistri monetir, qui quidem obiit xii. die Decembris, Anno Domini MCCCCCXII : cujus animae propicietur Deus." Dr. Whitaker's reading differs slightly, he only giving the abbreviations of several words. In the absence of this inscription, it would be almost impossible to make out that this was Sir John Topcliffe's tomb. The chancel has been rebuilt over it ; and doubtless the workmen would do their work upon it, regardless of the injury they were committing. His daughter and heiress, Rose, was married in 1512, to Richard Bunny, of Bonny Hall, near Wakefield, who was buried in Wakefield Parish Church in 1585, near Rose, his late wife. • On Lord's day night, Sep. 15, 1678, I and my wife were nil night at Wilhn Wadsworths at Alverthorp, he came home from Topeliffe, and in onr discourse, we fell into a debate concerning church matters, they told mo that 4 or 5 were excom- municated out of that church for scandall, Marmadukc Reiner (an ancient member), Mr. Sam. Craister, Thomas Arundel, etc. — UnjicjodCs Diaries, (Turner) Vol. 2. page 243. t Banks's Walk* in Yorkshire, p. 530. TINGLEY burial GROUND. 5 From 1681 until 1684, the pulpit at Topcliffe was occupied by Mr. Holdsworth, Mr. Jollie, and other ejected ministers. In the Sessions Rolls, Heywood's Xoncon. Register, (Turner,) under date July 1689, Leeds, we find that " A congregation or assembly of Protestant subjects dissenting from the Church of England doe hold their meeting for religious worship on the Lords dayes in Toplife Hall, Woodkirk, and they hold other occasional meetings at J. Pickerings house at Tingley." " Jo Pickering, Thomas Atkinson." From 1684 to 1709, Mr. Thomas Elston was the pastor, when he was succeeded in his office by supplies from the ranks of the ejected ministers, until 1714, when Mr. Riley was pastor, and remained until 1727. At this period he was succeeded by a Mr. Lax who remained until 1736, and was, we believe, the last minister. In the last- named year, the Chapel at Topcliffe was converted into a dwelling- house, and a meeting house was built on the Upper Green, at Leefair. Topcliffe at that time was but sparsely inhabited, aiid the congre- gation at the chapel, as well as the funds for carrying on the work, had for many years been mainly supplied by the inhabitants of Morley, for the reason that after the passing of the Five Mile Act, Topcliffe was much resorted to by the ministers, both on account of its privacy, and its exempting them from the penalties of that Act, the chapel there being without the five miles radius of any church. There was, however, another cogent reason why Tingley* or Leefair should be selected as the site for the new chapel. It was a much more populous district, and in addition to this "Pastor Elston," in 1685, married Miss Mary Pickering, whose father had given " a handsome piece of ground at Tingley, for a burial place, and had wholly, or partly, built a wall round it at his own expense." It was, therefore, a matter of convenience that a chapel should be near to the last-named, and accordingly, when Mr. Hesketh was chosen as minister, a house and chapel were built for him on the Upper Green. This good man lived until 1743, when for want of adequate support, the Dissenting interest became extinct. * TntQLBl : — The field of Council. [In the earliest Memorial Rolls, at Wakefield, the name invariahly appears THING LAWE. — J.H.T.] Tin, ting, or thinge, is derived from the old Norse tinga, to speak, allied to the English word, think. In this word we prohably have a trace of one of the legislative institutions of the Northmen. The thinge was their great council, or popular assembly, where their laws were passed, and their chiefs elected. This council was held in the open air, on an island, hill, or promontory, and — probably to prevent any undue local influence from predominating — generally at a distance from any town or village. The Northmen introduced their "Things" into England, and from it wo derive Hustings, or house things, (hus, 0. E. house) the place where the election of a Member of Parliament is proposed by the householders qualified to vote. The following description of one of the judicial proceedings of a Danish " Thing " gives us a good idea of the commencement of an institution that now forms so important a part in our legal system. Tho " Things " wero held in the open air, and served both for the discussion of public affairs and the administration of justice. For the latter purpose, a circle called the doom-ring (dvmhringe) was formed with hazel twigs, 6 TOPCUFFE CHAPEL. The Burial Ground, at Tingley, is situate about half-way between Leeds and Dewsbury, on what is known as the Dewsbury Road, and near to the Mansion known as "Tingley Hall," owned by Henry Longbottom, Esq. In the Park, which surrounds the Hall, and just beyond the fence wall separating the Park from the above-named road, may be Been this •• God's Acre." Five of the gravestones which were placed over the members of the Topcliffe Ghuxeh, yet remain, and may be seen in the plantation near Tingley House. The following copies of the inscription on these stones I have taken recently. Mercy Sargan, departed this life the 18th day of November, 1676, being <;f age 26 years. " Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth." Hero lyeth the body of Judith Brooksbank, daughter of Joseph Brooksbank, of Ellaud, who was buried the 10th of July, 1686.

I or with upright stones, to which were attached cords called vtbi'md, i.e., the conse- crated or sacred cords. Within this circle sat the Judges, the people standing on the outside, and in the middle stood the bidtsteinn, a huge stone with a sharp ridge, on which the backs of criminals condemned to death were broken. Each of the three godars or presidents of the Thing summoned twelve assessors or dooms- men (domsmenn) to sit with him within the forensic circle which thus formed a court of justice— if we may apply modern terms to ancient institutions — of three Judges and thirty-six jurymen. Any doomsman to whom either the plaintiff or defendant might object was to be instantly replaced by the godi who had nominated him. There was a ring called the Altar-ring for tho administration of oaths. Every one engaged in a law-suit, whether as plaintiff or defendant, as witness or compurgator or doomsman, was obliged to swear on this ring, " In the name of Frey, N jord, and the Almighty God, that he would fulfil the duty imposed on him — to give evidence, plead, or judge, as the case might be, conscientiously and to the best of his abilities." Here we have, evidently, the Scandinavian form of trial by jury, for which we are indebted to our Danish invaders. — Grkenwelt,. * The fine parchment pedigree of the Lords Eure, with special reference to the Pickerings of Tingley, the Heskeths, and the Swaincs, is preserved at Braboeuf Manor, Guildford. t The first entry in the Woodchurch register, now existing, records the baptism on the 4th November, 1652, of " Bethia tilia Dom. Johan Pickering and on 30th July, 1673, is an entry of her marriage to Joseph Sykes. On 12th May, 1654, also 18 entered tho baptism of " Bathshua ftlia Dom.

Banks. \ Banks's " Walks in Yorkshire," p. 531. LEE FAIRS. 7 We cannot conclude this notice of Topcliffe Chapel without referring to the historically interesting character of the immediate neighbour- hood, from whence the congregation at Topcliffe were drawn. Leefair, as its name implies, was the scene of one of the most remarkable of these annual gatherings. These fairs are of very old date. Mr. Batty, in a paper on the priory of St. Oswald at Nostel, says the Canons of Nostel received a charter from King Stephen to hold two annual fairs, but in the preface to the Woodkirk (or Wakefield) Mysteries (usually called the Townley Mysteries) it is shown that King Henry I. made the original grant, and Stephen confirmed it. The days fixed are given as "Feast of Assumption," and Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Mary," viz., 15th August and 8th September. How long these dates were adhered to we cannot determine, but the present fairs are nine days later, 24th August (St. Bartholomew's Day) and 17th September. Another important change has taken place with respect to these fairs, for, whereas they are now only held on the two days last-named, a century ago there was in reality but one fair, which lasted for three weeks, and was one of the most important in the kingdom. It was at that time, a mart for the sale of nearly all kinds of produce, as well as being celebrated for the size and importance of its transactions in horses and cattle. Fruit, onions, &c, were in abundance, and it is said that "multitudes came from towards Huddersfield and many other parts of the countj > purchase these articles, which were stowed in barns, and sold at booths by lamplight in the morning." If we are to believe the testimony of the " oldest inhabitant," " Lee Fair " of fifty years ago was a gathering, which, once seen, was ever remembered, having only its counterpart in the fun and frolic of " Donnybrook," in the sister isle. As to the origin of the name "Lee," Scatcherd derives it from the name of Dr. Legh, grantee of the site of Nostel Priory, in 1540. That the Legh family had a connection with West Ardsley is shown in Thoresby's Due. htod. t 221 in the Legh pedigree, where it names William Leghe, Esq., attainted 83 Henry VIII. , as seized of lands in West Ardsley and Westerton. This person was attainted of high treason with Edward Tattersal, a clothier, and Ambler, a priest, and was executed in 1541. An interesting notice of "Lee Fair " is to be found in the court rolls of the manor of Wakefield, and therefrom something is learned about the scenes which took place at this annual carnival. Notwithstanding that the fair at that time belonged to the Canons of Wodekirk, riot and disorder were not uncommon : — Alicia de Scardeby op. se versus Johannem de Heton, et quer ; quod die Lume, in Festo Nativitatis Beatje Marle, anno regis Edwardi nunc nono, idem Johannes insultum fecit in ipsam Aliciam et cepit ipsam per capillos capitis sui in nundinis de Wodekirk, et ipsam extraxit per capillos pnedictos, a parte boreali ex parte nunc praedict : quousque fossatum : Australi ex parte earun- dum. Et quia non potuit capillos predictos eradicare in hac fonna, emarcuit ped, suo in facie ejusdem. Alicia? causa eradicandi capillos 8 TOPCLIFFE CHAPEL. pndietos; et nihil hominus cepit quendem baculum et ipsam verberavit ultra humerus, lumbos, et corpus, et alia enormia et intulit, ad dampa sua solct inde perduxit sectain. The John do Heton named in this charge was the head of a great family living at Old Howley Hall, near Woodkiik. His wife Amabil was also concerned in this outrage, and complaint was made against both, and also against one John Graffard, in the same court. John de Heton was evidently a pugnacious character, for one John of Ni u castle also complained of him for an assault and battery at the same fair, to his damage of 100 shillings ; and one William (the) Carter also laid complaint that the said John de Heton had come into his stall at the fair and had overturned it, by which he had lost 20 gallons of beer, worth 2s. 4d., a cask valued 12d., and a sack valued 8d.; the covering of his stall was also torn, damage 12d., and other injuries; total loss 40s. — a great sum of money in those days. One thing more in the above extract is noticeable, namely, the distance from whence people came to this very celebrated fair to lay in their stock of necess- aries for the winter. Here we have two travellers, Alice (of) Scardeby and John of Newcastle — the one probably a thrifty housewife, and the other a dealer in cattle and wares. There is in this incident a fair illustration of how in these ancient chivalrous times, the great men of the day conducted themselves. John de Heton, in all probability, aided by his man Graffard, and wife Amadil, made valorous by the carter's good liquor, kicks up a row, overturns the landlord's stall, taps his casks, knocks down the Newcastle wight, and then falls foul upon the person of Alice de Scardeby. The fair at Woodkiik at this period (Edward II.) was reckoned amongst the most famous then held in the country, and to which it is said that merchants from France, Spain, Florence, the Low Countries, and even Germany came with their wares and merchandise to sell, and every family of consequence, as well as the religious houses, laid in their stock of necessaries for a whole year. In these accommodating days the priest and clerk stood ready all day, during the time of the fair, to marry in the neighbouring church all such as, during the mirth of the fair, were desirous to enter the matrimonial state. Another noteworthy circumstance connected with this celebrated fair must not be overlooked. On St. Bartholomew's Day, on which the fair ended, the scholars from the Grammar Schools of Leeds, Wakefield and other places, were brought to this place for disputation, or to ascertain their proficiency in classical learning, annually, down to the early part of last century. Whether these examinations were conducted on the Oxford and Cambridge models, or on that of the Science and Art Department, or Yorkshire Union of Mechanics' Institutes, there is no authentic data on which to found an opinion ; but St. Bartholomew, the patron or tutelary saint of scholars, held high carnival once a year at "Lee Fair." An amusing incident connected with one of these gatherings is related by an old man who died about 1780. He says, " My father, when a boy, was WOODCHURCH. 9 present during a disputation, and had well-nigh been knocked on the head by a beadle ; for happening to ask one of the boys who stood up improper questions, the gentleman in gold-laced robe and cocked hat applied his truncheon so forcibly to the ' pericranium ' of the catechiser as made him remember his impudence all his life afterwards." Of all the early English fairs, established by Koyal charters and privileges, for the sale or interchange of goods and produce, and for the hiring of men and maid-servants, when towns, villages, and hamlets were scattered and far apart, and the roads few and unsafe, Lee Fair was one of the earliest and best known. Our readers will have learnt by this time not to judge of what Wodekirk fair was, from what "Lee Fair" now is. In our early days it was of much more consequence than it has been for many years past, and musicians, actors, and jugglers, such as were brought to fairs to attract company, were present in large numbers. Woodchurch, is a place of great interest, pointing to Saxon times, with its cell of Black Canons, its " Mystery Plays," its " Frying-Pan Stone," its Poet, " Old Trash," and its ancient church, with its "Howley Hall," "Topcliffe," "Westerton," and "Hague Hall," seats telling of times when families of great note dwelt hereabouts. The name Woodchurch as applied to the sacred edifice, is thought by W. S. Banks to mean Church-in-the-Wood, but we are inclined to agree with Scatcherd, that it means wooden church. " Wood- church" designates a very ancient place of worship, composed of the usual materials of which sacred buildings were constructed in Saxon times, or in remoter ages. " Woodkirk," says Scatcherd, "originally a cell under Nostel Priory was formed in the reign of Henry I. (a.d. 1100-1135), although only a cell to the Priory, the remaining foundations prove it to have been of considerable extent. The church was conventual as well as parochial, and was supposed to be possessed of considerable sanctity. It was noticed by Leland (Henry VIII). On July 12th, 1831, the roof fell in, burying the nave, pulpit, and pews ; and as a result of this disaster, it was discovered that the ancient walls had been beautifully painted, lettered, and gilded, exhibiting roses (red and white), tulips, anemones, grapes, peaches, leaves and other decorations. The colours were still beautiful, but we should like to know why they were plastered over. The tower of the church is supposed by some to have been rebuilt, since the days of the Black Canons ; but I am inclined to think that such is not the case, as from the characters of the mountings and carvings, it evidently belongs to the twelfth century and the tran- sition perio-1, when the semicircular arch of the Norman style was giving way to the pointed arch. There are no buttresses now, but an embattled parapet round the top. The three bells in the tower are dated 1713. One bears the words "Deum Lamhtmm" another ••/'. Gloria" but the third has no inscription. We cannot say that the interior of the chui'ch at ihe present time is of a pleasing character, 10 TOPCLIFFE CHAPEL. though there are some fine specimens of old carving, conspicuous among which aro the ends of the stalls in the chancel, all of the kh century — the remnants, no doubt, of the seats once used by tin Hlack Canons. These seat ends are remarkably perfect, having the outer face richly relieved by rectilinear tracery, and are each sur- rounded by a finial or poppy head, on which is carved a wheat sheaf, vine leaves and grapes, dividing over a curious monogram of the Saviour composed of the letters I and S coupled with a chord, so disposed as to complete the I II S, and with its ends crossed, the whole device aptly symbolising the bread and wine, the significant memorials of the passion and (loath of Christ. If the casual observer will go to the east end of the church, he can see where the Canons had their fishponds in a deep hollow. These reservoirs for the Canons' fish were in existence in Dr. Whitaker's day. In the churchyard, close to the path leading from the entrance on the road-side to the porch, is a stone — a curious relic, known as the Frying-pan Stone. It bears the design of a wheel, cross-wheel, and shaft ; and about this stone there is a strange legend, to which, however, we attach no credence." The registers of the church commence in 1G52, and include some interesting parchments, many of them bearing the Great Seal df l.ngland. Two of these seals — one of Queen Elizabeth and one of King Charles I. — are in good preservation, Another interesting fact connected with Woodchurch can be gathered from one of the volumes of the Surtees Society's publi- cations, on the Tonneh'u Myttoriea. From this work it may be learned that there were three sets of mysteries — one at Chester, another at Coventry, and a third at what was described at Wydkirk. It is believed that the latter had been performed, if not written, at Wood- church, for they contained local references and West Riding expressions. For instance, allusion is made to " Horbury Shroggs." In all prob- ability these miracle plays were written at the monastery at Woodkirk, and acted in the church on the occasion of the fairs. The object of these mysteries or plays was to bring religion home in a tangible form to the frequenters of the " Lee Fairs " of that day. Duxxixiii.KY, within half-a-mile due east of Topcliffe, is noted as being the birthplace of Christopher Saxton, an eminent choro- grapher, and also as containing the residence of a sweetheart of Neviaon, the highwayman. In Dr. John Dee's diary, 159G, appears this entry : — " July 10th, Manchester town described and measured by Mr. Christopher Saxton." Mr. J. E. Ba.ii.ey, writes of this as follows : — " This Manchester survey which would be a valuable addition to our local topography, is not now known to be in existence, i \ton was the author of the first maps of Britain from actual survey. The series of maps was nine years in preparation and was first issued as a complete atlas of maps in 1579. Thoresby remarked that the maps had never been surpassed, scarcely equalled for e xactness.* Each ma p contains the arms of the Queen, who gave • Loidit and Elmete, Ed. 1816, p. 240. DUXXIXGLEY. 11 Saxton a patent for publishing the charts for ten years, and of Thomas Sackford, Master of Requests, in whose employment, Saxton was at the date of the patent. Saxton was also encouraged by Sir William Cordel, Master of the Rolls. His skill as a chorographer is set forth in his epitaph." Thoresby says that in all probability he was buried in Batley Church.* Dunningley at the present time, consists of a few farm-houses, not remarkable for their antiquity or picturesqueness. The entries in the Topcliffe register commence in 1656, and end in 1736, a period of eighty years, and the entries refer to members of the congregation residing in Morley, as well as at Topcliffe, and the immediate neighbourhood. When the Act of Uniformity became law, though the Presbyterians kept possession of the lease of the chapel, they had to leave the premises, and for twenty years at least, they worshipped at Topcliffe chapel, until in 1689, they built the old parsonage in Morley, and obtained a license to perform worship therein. Scatcherd gives it as his opinion, that the Old Chapel was restored to the Nonconformists in 1698, but if this is correct it is somewhat singular that the register contains no entries referring to the Old Chapel, between 1691 and 1736, when the Topcliffe chapel was given up. But remembering that the Topcliffe chapel, and the Old Chapel were as one this lends additional hiterest to the register. * In Dogdale's " Visitation of Yorkshire,'' 16G6, " Birkbeck of Sheffield and Castleford" — Christopher Saxton, the geographer, here called Surveyor and Compiler of Maps of England, is said to have been of Dunningley. The Saxtons were to be found at Mirfield, &c, a century afterwards. $!)* ®oprliffe Register of ^Baptisms. T Chukch Members' Infants Baptized . Child's Name. Father's Name. Date.

[E ancient Church, or place where our forefathers wor- shipped for centuries, must of necessity have an historical value beyond that of any other relic of antiquity which a town or village may possess, and we are prepared to state that there are circumstances about the ecclesias- tical history of Morley, and more particularly of its ancient Church of St Mary's, which, we believe, do not appertain to any other district in England. If we could fathom all the details of its career, we should find that around it has centred the main history of the village, and associated with it are incidents interesting to the student and the antiquary. To what secular as well as religious uses St. Mary's may have been put during the past ages it is now difficult to determine, but as Churches were often used during civil strife, as a depository for arms and a refuge during pressing dangers, it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that when the Scots wintered at Morley, and during the Civil )War. and at many other times the walls of St. Mary's may have been a shelter and protection for other than the Christians of those times. Certain it is that the Chapel has been used as a school-house and a tithe-barn, and a place for the discussion and settlement of parish affairs. We do not claim to be able to settle the point as to when a place for public worship was first planted upon the site of St. Mary's, but it is more than likely that after the first rude and primitive cross was planted as a rallying point for the faithful, a Saxon Church was in all probability built, perhaps wattled, staked and thatched, or of wood. In Anglo-Saxon times the Church on this site, by whatever name DOMESDAY BOOK. 25 it was called, served as the Parish Church for the whole district. Scatcherd says that there was a Church here during the Saxon Heptarchy, but so far as building materials are concerned, there are no traces to be found to justify this theory. We are inclined, however, to think that the surmise is a correct one, and for the reason that, after the conversion of Edwin to Christianity, and the destruction of the images by Coifa, in the kingdom of Northumbria, the people fol- lowed the example of their ruler, and after incessant wars with the neighbouring kingdoms, we find Christian people copying the example of Wilfred, Bishop of York, who built several Churches in his diocese before the end of the eighth century. Leaving the speculative, we can affirm with certainty that a place of worship occupied the site of St. Mary's as early as the eleventh Morley Old Chapel, a.d. 1830. century, for Domesday Book records the fact ; but independent of this testimony, we have in the garden of Osborne House portions of two Norman arches, and the keystone of one of them. The Norman decorations on these stones are similar to those which are to be found at Hartshead and Adel Churches. The stones were found embedded in t!io foundations of the Old Chapel when it was pulled down in 1875, to make way for the present handsome building. On a piece of one of these arches there is the chevron work, which has its counter- part in some ancient buildings in Canterbury, which are said to have been built in the year 1110. On the arch is the Norman tooth work, identical with the newer portions of the buildings to which we have just referred. The chevron work was generally done by the axe, and 20 MORLEY OLD CHAPEL. the toothwork by the chisel. These are unerring evidences of a Norman Church having existed at Morley soon after the Conquest. Other stones are in company with those to which we have just referred, which also possess historical interest, and to which we shall refer subsequently. " When Edward II. found himself in the possession of plenary power, he resolved to wipe out the disgrace of Bannockburn and win back Scotland to his crown. He addressed a letter to the Pope, stating that he was engaged in preparing to invade Scotland, but the Scots, anticipating the coming war, entered England and penetrated to Lancashire, but subsequently returned laden with booty. Meanwhile EdwaM was marching towards Scotland, but he was seriously menaced in the rear by the Scots who remained in England." Referring to the latter, Dr. Whitaker says: "In the year 1822 a large division of the Scottish army, which spread devastation and havoc wherever it went, wintered at Morley, and threw the inhabitants of Leeds into such a panic that they buried their treasures, some of which being the coins of that period were found in the early part of the last century." In the records of Nostel Priory it is stated in the defence of Henry H. Abberford, one of the Priors, that Morley had to support an army of Scots for fifteen days, some years before the re- bellion of Lancaster. We can readily believe that at this time Morley was a place of some consequence, and no doubt the Church would figure prominently in the scenes of those stirring times. Before they left the town there is reason to believe that they destroyed the principal buildings, including the Church, which they are understood to have burnt down. This is very likely, as on the stones to which we have already referred, there are marks which clearly show that they have been subjected to intense heat. The Church so burnt down was not, however, the Norman Church which was in existence when the Domes- day Book was compiled. Soon after the Conquest the Church of St. Mary's was made a dependent Chapel to Batley, by Robert de Lacy, and this must have been previous to the year 1120, for in that year Lacy founded the Priory of Nostel, to which he gave the Church at Batley, and in all probability, the Church of St. Mary's at Morley along with it. There is some evidence that the Church was not in existence when Henry III. ascended the throne in 1216 ; but be that as it may, we do not believe that for any great length of time the site was unoccupied by a place for worship. The nave of the " Old Chapel," as nearly as can be ascertained, was erected about the year 1560, and was used, doubtless, for the tithe-barn of the lord of the manor. When the tithes came to be compounded for, it became useless for this purpose, and was converted into a place of worship about the time of James I. or Charles I. The nave was enlarged about the year 1710, by the addition of two side aisles. When the nave was altered from the tithe-barn into a "chapel," we believe that the chancel was converted into a school, if not a dwel- /^yJ&?A //c<*r*<&* «— Ac: Qrowfket dm? f%&& Autographs of Trustees of St. Mary's, a.d. 1721. 28 MORLEY OLD CHAPEL. ling, and was an integral structure down to the era of the Revolution, in 1088. At any rate it was the village school in 1GG8, the master being the celebrated Republican officer, Captain Thomas Oates, or one of his sons, Ralph or Samuel, the former of whom had taken his degree of M.A. in one of the Universities. Scatcherd says that "it is most likely that it was the vestry as well as the village school after the Restoration, but I am convinced it was not laid open to the chapel till after the Revolution in 1688." In 1825, on removing the white- wash from the walls of the nave, an interesting discovery of ancient scrolls was 'made, bearing inscriptions which were very suggestive. These writings were, in all probability, copies of others which had been on the walls of the nave previous to its enlargement, and which were put up soon after the time of the Commonwealth. At that time it was common to affix upon walls passages from Scripture calculated to keep up a feeling of loyalty. Scatcherd gives it as his -opinion that the inscriptions in the Old Chapel were levelled at Major Great- head, Captain Oates, and all those who had been privy to the Farnley Wood Plot, in 1668, and also as a rebuke to the Republicans through- out the land. This is probable, as in close proximity to the following inscription, " My Son, fear thou the Lord and the King, and meddle not with them that are given to change," was the Royal coat of arms, with the letters " C.R." on each side of the crown, and also above the lion's head, and the date 1664 underneath the whole. This ancient and spirited symbol of royalty is still preserved to us. Outside the Chapel was an ancient clock and bell turret, the ponderous and anti- quated mecnanism of the former proving it to be of an early date. The bell on which the hour was struck is dated 1694, and the motto, " Soli Deo Gloria ," shows that it was intended for the service of the sanctuary, though tradition says that it was the' dinner bell at Howley Hall. We shall now say something respecting the people and the times more immediately connected with the change from the Romish service tg the Puritan form of worship. The exact date when this took place we cannot determine, but the first minister of whom we have any record was the Rev. Samuel Wales, a Presbyterian, who occupied the pulpit in 1627. During his ministry the congregation increased rapidly, and the influence of its pastor and chief members obtained such coun- tenance that Thomas Viscount Savile, Earl of Sussex, who was then living at Howley Hall, gave a lease of the Chapel and premises to the following trustees of the Presbyterian denomination :—" Edward Birtbie, of Scholecroft ; Thomas Oates, John Rayner, John Ellis, William Ward, John Crowther, Thomas Greathead, of Morley ; John Smith, Wm. Bancke, Jos. Greathead, of Gildersome ; Robert Paulden, and William Burnhill, of Churwell, in the county of York." A copy of this interesting document may be seen in " Smith's Rambles about Morley." Several of the trustees above-named were famous in their day and generation, and left themselves a name and a place in the THE MANOR HOUSE. 29 page of history. They lived in eventful times, and were no idle spec- tators of the circumstances by which they were surrounded. They gained for the village of Morley a notoriety which has outlived their own days. In the year 1663, immediately after the ejectment or passing of the Act of Uniformity, there arose a disaffection amongst the people of the West Riding, which culminated in the " Farnley Wood Plot." The Morley and neighbouring Nonconformists, and some of their pastors even, were privy to this rising, and several of them were present on the occasion. Many will remember that the object of this plot was to reinstate the ejected pastors, to restore the rebel Parliament, and to remit the taxes. Government was made aware of the movement by some who were in the secret, and steps were taken to entrap and secure the offenders. The actual date when the meeting took place in Farnley Wood seems to be a disputed point, as Miaia in his " Congregationalism in Yorkshire," gives the 10th of *«"*&*£:;' -- Manor House, Morley. October, while Scatcherd states that it took place a little before mid- night on the 12th of that month. In the " Calendar of Domestic Papers," we find a letter, sent on the 13th October, 1663, from Edward Copley, to Sir Geo. Saville, to this effect : — 1663, Oct. 13. Fear surprise, as many passed through Leeds on horseback last night, and 40 more from Holbeck, Huns'et, &c. 300 are in Farnley Wood, three miles from Leeds. They intend to take Skipton Castle. Captain Oates, of Morley, is thought to bo with them. They are very numerous Scatcherd erroneously speaks of some thirty persons as forming the band of conspirators, whilst Miall also says that " the number as- sembled amounted in all to about twenty persons." In face of the above letter, these writers can only refer to the leaders of the plot, of whom twenty-one were executed, whilst the bulk of those who were present made their escape. We cannot stay to give a detailed history 80 MOBLEY OLD CHAPEL. of the origin, progress, and failure of this rising, but we will refer to the Morley conspirators who took part in that memorable plot. Captain Thomas Otes, or Oates, one of the Old Chapel trustees, and the leader of the insurrection, is thus described by Scatcherd : "Captain Oates, being an old Republican officer, had, doubtless, distinguished himself on the same fields with Major Greathead, Captains Hodgson and Pickering, and many others who lived in this vicinity. At the call of his country he first took up arms, and probably laid them down when the army under Lambert was disbanded. At any rate, after the Restora- tion he was the village schoolmaster, and he taught his scholars in the chancel end of the Chapel of ' St. Mary-in-the-Wood.' From aged people I have learned that upon his boys giving warning of the approach of military, he fled, and was seen no more at Morley ; which is not improbable, as the Chapel-yard commands a distant view of the road from Leeds, and as, it is certain, he was taken and executed." Captain Oates, lived in the Manor House, Morley, a substantial dwel- ling-house, memorable since the Captain's days as the birthplace of one of Yorkshire's merchant princes, the late Sir Titus Salt, Bart. The house still remains, and is occupied by Dr. Steele. The Captain was aided in the plot by Ralph Oates, a clergyman, his son, who assisted his father in the school, but of whom it is said that he was a man of no reputation. He was taken prisoner, when he turned king's evidence, and declared the existence of a widely-spread conspiracy. The captain was tried at York, and afterwards executed. John Ellis, another of the trustees connected with the Old Chapel, some of whose descendants are still living, also had been a soldier and trumpeter in the army of the Parliament. Having acquired some property he lived upon it, at or near where Tingley Hall now stands. This property was seized by the Crown, and Ellis was hanged, drawn, and quartered. Amongst the other conspirators connected with this plot were the following, who were members of the congregation worshipping at the Old Chapel. John Fozzard, who had been a cavalry soldier under Fairfax, and was at the time of the plot " the servant of Abraham Dawson, who lent him a horse." Fozzard was a faithful servant, for he was induced to join the conspirators at the instigation of his master, and to his honour it is recorded that " he might have saved his own life by the sacrifice of his master's, but he disdained the thought," and in gratitude for his constancy, his widow and children were almost wholly supported by the Dawsons, who then lived at the Hall in Morley. Joseph Crowther, commonly called " Corporal Crowther," from his holding that position in the Parliamentary army, occupied a house on Banks' Hill, Morley, to which the agitators often resorted. The house is still standing, and is a fair specimen of the architecture of the seventeenth century. Crowther does not appear to have been executed, and the probability is that he fled his country or turned King's evidence. Several others of the Morley conspirators escaped with their lives, amongst them being Atkinson and Dickenson, the a - i silt ; Mm m 82 MORLEY OLD CHAPEL. latter after lying long concealed with the former in coal pits, near Gildersome, went one night late to his own house, and, rapping at a window, asked for some shoes and stockings, which having received, he and his partner in crime travelled to London, and subsequently made their escape to Holland. Joshua Asquith, alia* Cardmaker, aliaM Sparling, descendants of whom are still living, also escaped with his life by turning informer, for we find that a letter was sent by Sir Thomas Wentworth to the Duke of Buckingham to the following effect : — Mr. Boulton's evidence of a rising is confirmed by Askwith and William Tolson (another of the Morley conspirators), who were asked to get horses and join a meeting at Morley. After the mee'ing at Farnley 100 horses marched forward to Bradford Moor, and the rest dispersed ; they only waiting the disarming of the other side to act their part. Oct. 16, 1663. An interesting notice of the part Asquith took in this plot is to be found in the "Depositions at York," published by the Surtees Society. It is to this effect : — Oct. 28th, 1663.— William Hage (Haigh), of Woodchurch, husbandman, said that on Monday the 12th October last, he mett William Askwith, alia* Sparlinge, abonte 8 of the clocke at night, nere Howley Parke, to soarch for two horses of Sir Richard Tankard's, and that they did intend to have rise with Captain Thos. Oates. About two days after this the informant apprehended him upon the late plott, and he told this informant that on the night after they parted he went to Morley to Oates, his house, that Oates was gone to Farnley Wood, and beinge too late to goe, he returned homo againe. And one, Samuel Ellis did confesse to this informant t':at he went to Morley to be a trumpitcr to a troope of horse under Captain Oates, and had the Lord Castleton's trumpctt with him. John Aveyard, saith, that he apprehended John Fawcet, for the late plott, and he did confesse, that he was in armes in Farneloy Wood with Captain Oates and others, to the number of 25 persons or thereabouts. Sparling (Askwith) was a prisoner in York Castle for a long time, but escaped the gallows. Returning to the Old Chapel trust deed, we find another name which we must not omit, viz., that of Major Greathead, who fought bravely against the Royalists at the battle of Adwalton Moor. The Major was born about 1G15, and lost his father when little more than seven years of age. A brother of his, named "Peter, was a man of some consequence, being an eminent woollen manufacturer in Morley. In early life the Major married Susan, daughter of Mr. Ralph Crowther, of Gildersome, a man of some fortune, by which lady he had four sons and three daughters. At the commencement of the Civil War the Major was possessed of but a small estate, though enjoying a high character for patriotism and honour. About six months after the engagement at Adwalton he was, in January, 1044, when between twenty-eight and twenty-nine years of age, appointed Major of a regiment of foot, commanded by Colonel Richard Thornton. Subse- quently, and in particular after the death of his Colonel, who is supposed to have fallen at Marston Moor, or before Pontefract Castle, he was still further advanced in the service, and we find him ulti- mately chosen by the Republicans to be General in the West Riding.

The Major subsequently lost his fair fame, and his laurels became tarnished, not only by his submission to the Government of Charles, but by his acceptance of a mercenary office under it. When the Act of Uniformity became law, the then minister of the Old Chapel con- formed, and by this act the Established Church then obtained pos- session of the Chapel, but the Presbyterian trustees still kept possession of the lease of the property. The fact of the possession of the Chapel is proved by the "Royal Arms " being set up in the nave, in 1064, and also by the service book used about that time and still preserved, which contains the liturgy of the Church of England. In this service-book are "prayers for James, for Mary Catherine, the Queen Dowager ; Mary, Princess of Orange ; and the Princess Ann of Den- mark," and at the beginning in an old-fashioned hand, we find the entry, " Morley Town's Book Common Prayer." This book was not used after 1688, for in the prayers no substitution of the name of King William for that of James occurs. The Chapel was restored to the Nonconformists somewhere between 1698 and 1698, for we know that in 1686 the Dissenters built the present parsonage, and three years afterwards obtained a license to perform religious worship therein, which they would not have done had they regained at that time possession of the Chapel. This certificate of license appears to have been obtained after the passing and by virtue of the Toleration Act, and is to the following effect : — At the general quarter sessions of the peace of onr Lord and Lady the King and Queen, held at Leeds, adjournment from another place in the West Riding, the 13th day of July, in the first year in the reign of our said Lord and Lady William and Mary, now King and Queen of England, hefore Sir John Kay, Baronet ; Marmadukc Wentworth and William Lowther, Knights; Wm. Norton, John Townley, and Robert Ferrand, Esquires, and other justices; these are to certify that the house built by the inhabitants of Morley, within the said West Riding, was recorded at the sessions above-siid, for a meeting-place for a congre- gation or assembly for religious worship according to the form of the statute in that case made and provided. The above license was accepted on behalf of the congregation at Morley by two of the members. In 1875 the Church of St. Mary's-in-the-W T ood was razed to the ground, and a handsome new edifice erected on the site. Previous to this the Chapel had undergone "restoration" in 1865, but it was subsequently found that the roof and other parts of the structure were unsafe, and it was ultimately decided to remove it altogether, much to the regret of many of the inhabitants. The Registers of the Old Chapel commence in 1756, so far as the separate entries of Baptisms and Burials are concerned, as distinct from the joint entries in the Topcliffe Register. We trust that the perusal of these Registers may afford gratification to our readers, especially to those who are natives of our newly incorporated Borough, and whose ancestors have dwelt there during many generations. We are aware that there is a prejudice against the study of genealogy, PARISH REGISTERS. 35 happily however, decreasing day by day, and it is spoken of as simply a harmless pastime, without any real bearing upon any matter of importance : but we hold a more exalted idea of the value of this study, believing that a correct and exact knowledge of family history is the first step to the true knowledge of the history of a country. And the same is true in a lesser degree of the history of a town or village, and though the old families of such a small village as Morley was, two centuries ago, may not all have become famous in the history of England, yet, many of them, as we shall see bye and bye, did good work in their day and generation, and took their share, may be, a modest one, but not an unimportant one — in forming the character and habits and reputation of the Morley of the past. We look upon it, therefore, as a matter of much interest to pry into this old Register, Morley -Old Chapel, 1870. and to notice what families now amongst us had representatives settled here two hundred years ago. When we come to mention the names of these families, it must not be taken for granted that in every instance the modern holders of the name are descendants from their namesakes of the seventeenth century, but it may safely be said that it is the case in most of the examples. We shall also have occasion to make refer- ence to the residence here of other families who have now altogether disappeared, families too of some consequence in their day. Parish Registers were established for the identification of individuals and to avoid confusion. They were ordained by mandate of Thomas Cromwell, the Vicar General, to be kept in every Parish, and the order M MORLEY OLD CHAPEL. was pretty generally obeyed. They were to specify the dates of baptisms, marriages and burials. " This information may appear to be of a most scanty nature and so it was, and yet, the Parish Registers of England constitute the substratum of the social and domestic history of every Parish, because they record the names of all those persons who have played a part, be it humble or distinguished, in the annals of the district in which they lived, or possibly became famous in a world-wide sense, for learning, piety, enterprise or valour ; besides they are oft- times the only proofs of a man's existence." When Vicar Cromwell, in 1588, ordered the keeping of Registers, ho stipulated that the entries were to be made weekly by the Clergy- man, in tho presence of the Churchwardens, and a fine of 8s. 4d. was imposed for neglect, the fines to be employed in the repairs of the Church. In 1547, a second order was issued, similar to the first, except that the penalty was directed to "be paid to the poore men's box of each parish." What has become of the Register of St. Mary's for the first one hundred years after these orders were issued, it is impossible for us to determine, but it is greatly to be regretted that it is not to be found. It is also to be deplored that the original Register (of which the present volume is only a copy) was not kept, for, after a careful examination of the copy, we have come to the conclusion that the work of transcribing has been very slovenly done. From evidence taken from the book itself, we find that the copy of the Register-i)ook would be made between the years 1884 and 1840. The entries in original Register commence in 1668 and would continue to the date of transcription, with some slight intervals to be accounted for. The copying has been done by several different writers, and in some instances without any regard to order or regularity, and we are afraid without much regard to veracity. In many Parishes the Register served as a kind of note-book for the Minister, and in addition to the ordinary prosaic chronicles of the living and the dead, it often contained memoranda of local interest, brief and pithy notes on passing events, and the ever-varying circumstances of parochial life, recalling past scenes and incidents with a vividness that required only the warm heart to give the actual throb of life. In the Register of St. Mary's, however, little beyond the short tale of baptism and burial is told. In one or two instances, mention is made when a death has been caused by accident or violence, or some poor homeless wanderer has met his or her death while passing through the village. In 1759, it is recorded that " A traveling Man Unknown where he came from Died at Matthew Ellis house at Morley, Died, Nov. 22nd, 1759." Another entry reads as follows : " Joseph Buckley, of Morley, died August 13th, 17G8, he was slain by a cart near Ardsley." In 1708, we are told that a A poor travelling woman died at John Gammells, of Churwell, Nov. 10, her name unknown." In a few instances, in list of baptisms, the exact time of the birth is recorded, probably to give facility to the Astrologer who might afterwards wish to " cast the PARISH REGISTERS. 87 nativity," or tell the fortune of the child. In 1679, we are told that " Elisha, son of Mr. Joseph Sykes, born 4th March, about two in the morning, and baptised loth of the same month." This Mr. Joseph Sykes had doubtless satisfactory reasons for being so particular as to the moment of birth, for we find that on one page of the Register, and from the year 1675 to 1693, he had no less than twelve children baptised, to each of which entry is added the time of birth. The principal families in Morley at the present day, whose names occur in the Register for more than two centuries, are the Scatcherd's, Rayner's, Brook's, Bradley's, Tetley's, Sykes's, Marshall's, Jackson's, Asquith's, Brooksbank's, Rhodes's, Baxter's, Dawson's, Clark's, Pickles's, and some few others. By far the greater number of names which appear from 1656 to 1700 have disappeared, and are unrepre- sented at the present time. We may name a few chosen at random : Linley, Smallwood, Pickering, Riddlesden, Angrom, Wadsworth, Thornton, Holdsworth, Cloudesley, Heald, Balme, Gargrave, Arundel, Storey, Barras, and many others. From these lists we learn how some family names endure in the same place for centuries, whilst others become extinct or worn out in a much shorter period. The names of Rayner, Webster, and Asquith have been connected with Morley from time immemorial we may almost venture to say. Mr. Scatcherd says that " the name of the first person whom I can discover living at Morley is Richard Webster, married in 1575 to Johan Watson." In 1600, was born in Morley, Mr. Edward Reyner, who became an University M.A., and a most distinguished preacher and author. About 1640, he was settled at Lincoln, but was invited to Leeds by the magistrates and principal inhabitants, who pressed him with the consideration of its being his native county which needed his help. This exemplary and worthy member of a family, which is -well represented in Morley at the present day, was the author of several good books on " Christian Practice," " Marriage," " A Vindication of Human Learning," " The Being and Well-being of a Christian," and a little book, which is in our possession, dated 1656, and is said to be printed by R. I. for Thomas Ne ub et ijf , and are to be sold at his shop at the Three Lions, near the Exchange, London. The title is "Rules for the Government of the Tongue," and from a perusal of its interesting pages, we feel sure that a reprint of the work might serve a useful purpose at the present day if it was read. The first entry of the name of Reyner is in 1657, three years after the Register commences, and strange to say the name is spelt with the <( as at the present day, though the Edward Reyner of whom we have been speaking, spelt his name " Reyner." For a century the a remained in the name, until in 1758 it changes back to e, and also to a variety of spellings such as lienor, Reynor, Reynar, Reiner, and one or two others. We shall now proceed to notice the Christian Names which appear in the early entries of St. Mary's Register, but before doing so, we will 88 MORLEY OLD CHAPEL. refer to the names in vogue for some considerable period before the Register commences. " The earliest class of names are the British, but none of these can be found in Morley at the present time. Gwendolin, Malvina, Mona, Sabrina, and Una, were amongst the number. The second class were known as Roman -British ; when the Romans con- quered England, it became customary for every man and woman to have a British and Latin name, the one having the same meaning as the other. Thus Agnes became Nest in British, Claudia became Gladys, Helena became Ham, and Julia became Guala. Then came the Saxon period to which belong such names as Alice, Bertha, Edith, Kimna, and Winifred. When William the Conqueror took possession of England there were no Scripture names in use, but with him he brought Bible names, Saints names and his own Teutonic names. About the year 1300, in every Community of one hundred English- men, there was an average of twenty Johns and fifteen Williams, then followed Thomas, Bartholomew, Philip, Simon, Isaac and Peter, from the Scriptures ; and Richard, Robert, Walter, Henry, and some few others from the Teutonic list. Of female names, Matilda, Isabella, and Emma, were first favourites. Now, it is a somewhat singular, and to us an almost incomprehensible fact, that at the time of which we are writing there were no surnames, and the personality of John or William it was not easy to fix. It was in the fourteenth century that the surname was adopted, and at first there were .such names as John the Wheelwright, John the Bigg, John the Carter, and Richard the Gardener. In the early part of the fourteenth century, nearly one- third of the male population living in England were known either by the name of William or John. Then arose what is known as the nick form and pet-name epoch ; that was the curtailment of the name, say from Emma to Emm, or the addition to Emma, making it Emmott. This will be better understood if we give one familiar illustration. Where a number of boys went to school and each of them were named Bartholomew, they would be known as Bat, Bate, Batty, Bartle, Bartelot, Batkin, Tolly, and Tholy. This was done to fix the identity of the boys, and these several forms of Bartholomew were treated as so many proper names." * Passing on to the Eve of the Reformation, in relation to the- Bible, there were then in existence fbur classes of names, namely : — Mystery names, taken from the characters in the sacred plays given under the supervision of the Church. An interesting account of these "mysteries" as performed at York and Woodchurch will be found in the pages of OU Yorkshire. \ To these plays we can attribute the popularity of such names as Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and others. The second class of names came from the Crusaders, who gave us Baptist, Ellis or Elias, Jordan, and John, which became very popular. • Bardslet'b KnylUh Surnames. t Vol. V., p. 136. PURITANICAL NAMES. 39 < The third class of names came from the Saints' Calendar, and James, Nicholas, Thomas, with all the Apostles save Judas, became household names. The fourth and remaining class of names came from the festivals of the Church ; as when a child was born at Easter, or Christmas, or Whitsuntide, it received the name of the day, viz : — Easter, Nowel, or Pentecost. These classes of names were in the full tide of prosperity when the Bible printed into English, and set up in our Churches, became an institution. Of this period Bakdsley, a learned authority, says, " what is known as the 'Vulgar Tongue' Bible revolutionized our nomenclature within the space of forty years. No such crisis surely ever visited a nation's register before, nor can such possibly happen again. Every home felt its effect. The Puritans at once rejected all names, Pagan or Popish, under the first head, class- ing all names that could not be found in the Scriptures ; and under the second head all names that had been employed by the Church as a foundation for their system." And now, passing on to the time when the Registers of St. Mary's commence, we see the influence of the stern Puritanism of the times in the Christian names which are found in the first ten or twenty pages of the book. In these pages there are about 150 entries and the names run as follows : — Bathshua, eight times ; Lydia, six times ; Elyezer, five times ; Jacob, five times ; Mehelabal, four times ; and of those which appear twice or more are Abigail, Dorcas, Deborah, Mercy, Tamar, Defience, Ruth, Naomi, Rachel, Bethiah, Hannah, Rebekah, Sarah, in the female list ; and Ichabod, Japheth, Ephraim, Moses, Benjamin, Jacob, David, Joshua, Samuel, Isaac, Jeremiah, Josiah, Caleb, Timothy, Abraham, Barriah, Jabesh, Stephen, Noah, and Gamaliel. This, to our mind, is a most interesting feature of the Registers, as showing the character of the people who dwelt in this place at that period in our history. In its religious aspect, how much we may learn of the stubborn independence and deep-seated convictions of the inhabitants ! A most interesting account of the introduction of Bible names into Yorkshire is given by Mr. Bardsley, and our readers will, we feel sure, pardon us if we reproduce it. " In Yorkshire, Puritanism made early stand, though its effects on the names of the people were not immediately visible. It was like the fire that smoulders among the underwood before it catches flame, it spreads the more rapidly afterwards. The Genevan Bible crept into the dales and farmsteads, and their own primitive life seemed but to be reflected in its pages. The Patriarchs lived as graziers, so did they. There was a good deal about sheep and kine in its chapters, and their own lives were spent among the milk-pails and wool shears. The women of the Old Testament baked cakes, and knew what good butter was. So did the dales' folk. By slow degrees Cecilia, Isabella, and Emma lapsed from their pedestal, and the little babes were turned into Sarahs, Rebekahs, and Deborahs. As Nonconformity gained ground, Guy and Miles, and Peter and Philip became forgotten. The 40 MORLEY OLD CHAPEL. lads were no sooner ushered into existence than they were transformed into duplicates of Joel and Amos, and Obadiah. The measles still ran through the family, but it was Phineas and Caleb, not Robert and Roger, that underwent the infliction. Chosen leaders of Israel passed through the critical stages of teething. As for the twelve sons of Jacob they could all have answered to their names in the dames' schools, through their little apple-cheeked representatives which lined the rude benches. On the village green every prophet, from Isaiah to Malachi, might be seen of an evening playing leap-frog ; unless, indeed, Zeph- aniah was stealing apples in the Garth. If we look over the pages of the Directories of West Yorkshire and strike out the surnames, we could imagine we were consulting anciently inscribed registers of Joppa or Jericho. It would seem as if Canaan and the West Riding had got inextricably mixed." This description is in every respect applicable to the registers of St. Mary's. Another feature in these registers is the absence of double Christian names, for with two exceptions a double Christian name does not occur until the year 1800. Previous to this date John, Thomas, James, and William ; Mary, Sarah, Ann, and Jane were found to be amply sufficient for all practical purposes. The custom of giving double Christian names came from France, and there, as in England, it was for a long time confined to the Royal and aristocratic circles. It was not until the end of the 18th century that names of this character came into general use amongst the well-to-do people, and in our register the first instance is that of our esteemed historian, the entry reading as follows : " 1779, July 2nd, Norrisson Cavendish, son of Watson Scatcherd, Esq., of Morley was born, and baptised July 25th, by the Rev. M. Fountain his grandfather." The second instance is in 1782, and refers to a member of the same family, namely, " Watson Samuel, son of Watson Scatcherd, Esq., was born and baptised July 8th." It was not until some years later that any member of the lower classes dreamt of aspiring to such a daring innovation. The first entry in the register relating to the adoption of a double Christian name by people in the humbler walks of life is in 1816, and refers to the baptism of " Sarah Ann, daughter of John and Ellen Knightson of Morley." We shall now notice the "surnames attached to the entries of two hundred years ago, or rather refer to some of those names, which are represented at the present time in Morley and we will endeavour to give their derivation, in the hope that we may stimulate some of our readers to prosecute a most interesting and at the same time, in- structive and amusing study, that of the derivation of words, whether they be surnames, place-names, or personal names.* One of the very first surnames in St. Mary's register is that of Barker, a name still common amongst us. This surname was * Most of the derivations here given, are from Bakdsley's English Surnames. DERIVATIONS OF StHlNAMES. 41 originally given to the person who stripped the bark off the trees and prepared it for use, so that the tanner might ply his calling. Bark is derived from an old Danish verb, barka, to cover with a skin, hence the exterior covering of a tree. The word Er signifies an agent, or man, and from the frequency of the surname in ancient times, we may judge how important was the preparation of bark for the tanner's yard. A very common name at the present day, and one which has been represented in Morley for centuries, is that of Senior, and we have some of the family who are, as a byword, called "Swinyerd," to this hour, and yet, it may be news to many to learn that Senior is but a corruption of Swineherd or Swinherd. In the register we find that in 1770 was born, " Samuel, son of Samuel Swinyerd." This some- what prolific family have their origin in the Swineherds of the " good old times." Time was, when the rustic villagers of Morley, as of other places, lived upon bacon, and the care of the swine was a lazy may be, but nevertheless an important occupation. It is to the im- portance this unsavoury-looking animal held in the eyes of early rustics we have to attribute the fact of so many names coming down to us connected with its keep. Another interesting and equally common name is that of Foster, whose ancestors were the foresters of their day, i.e. they had to keep the wilder beasts within their prescribed limits ; to prevent them from injuring the tilled lands, and in general, to guard the common interests of the lords and tenants of their day. Associated with the merry greenwood was the forester, or man of the forest. Forest is a middle English word (13th-15th cent.), derived from the Low Latin foresta, a wood ; forestis, an open space of hunting ground (Mediaeval writers oppose the forestis, open hunting ground, to the pa reus, enclosed park). The origin of the word is in the Latin foris, out of doors, an adverb allied to fores, doors. Forster and Foster are merely abbreviative forms of forester." The surname Clark, is one of long standing in Morley, and originally signified one who ministered by God's appointment. The title is now used to designate certain laymen who assist in the services of the church, and also a man employed in an office ; also an official in various capacities. Before the Reformation and for some time after, clerks were clergymen, or men in holy orders who assisted the offici- ating priest. The word clerk should be pronounced as it is handed down to us in our Morley surname, namely, Clark. Webster, a surname well known amongst us for generations, refers as many of our readers will be aware, to the cloth manufacture, an occupation in Morley, almost as old as its hills. Webb, is an old English word, signifying a cloth, tapestry; a texture of anything woven. The word Er a man, or agent, signified a male weaver, or Webber, which ultimately merged into Webster, though the ster was a feminine suffix, and meant a female weaver. With the Websters 42 MORLEY OLD CHAPEL. you would be sure to meet with the Walkers, who derive their sur- name from wealcere, O.E. one who trod upon the cloth to thicken it. The root-word is wtaloetn, to roll, turn, tumble, revolve, turn up and down, hence M to walk." This was tho mode of thickening cloth, before fulling stocks and milling machines were invented. In the Statutes of the Realm, temp. Edward IV. (1401), we find the following statement : — " Hats, caps, and bonnets hitherto have been made, wrought, fulled, and thickened in the wonted manner, that is to say, with hands and feet," but now " the use of mills brings inferior articles into the market." A walk mill was a thickening mill. With regard to the surname Smith, which appears on the first page of the register, and can be met with on most of the pages in the book, the surname is not, by any means confined to the Morley register, but, on the contrary, it pervades every part of the English speaking world. In England, Smith was applied as a suffix to almost every hard material on which the artisan was employed. Hence we have blacksmith, silversmith, goldsmith, and many others. In proportion to the many "smiters" connected with the various trades, there sprung up a corresponding hosts of " Smiths." As a very old writer says : — " From whence comes Smith, all bo he Knight or squire, But from the Smith that forgeth at the fire." The bearers of this good old Saxon name, were, in ancient times, closely connected with the fabrication of instruments of war, as well as those for rural and industrial life. In fact, so useful was the smith as a citizen, that he is said to have been, as it were, the rivet that held society together, and in rural districts like Morley, he was often the sole mechanic of the district, and besides being a toolmaker, a farrier, and agricultural instrument maker, he doctored cattle, drew teeth, practised blood-drawing, and sometimes officiated as parish clerk and general newsmonger, for " the smithy was the very eye and tongue of the village." The name of the occupations of our forefathers and iovem others is given us in Thackray (not the Morley whitesmith of to-day) but the thacker and thackster of centuries ago. Thacker signified one who thatched, or covered buildings and stacks with straw thrashed out, or in the sheaf, having the heads cut off. In those far-off days, nay, within our own recollection, the villager's homestead had but little decorative refinement about it. He was content if he could keep out the cold blast and the driving rain, and have a warm corner by the fireside. His roof was in nine cases out of ten composed of thack or thatch, and every village had its " thatcher." But this useful member of the male population had not the business of thatching all to himself, for we find the word thackster to have been in use, and to perpetrate an Irishism, this thackster was a woman thatcher. Marshall is a surname familiar in St. Mary's Register, and is derived from the French marechal, and signified a horse groom, a DERIVATIONS OF SURNAMES. 48 blacksmith, or farrier. The word was afterwards applied to designate the chief officer at arms, an officer who regulated combats in the lists ; one who regulated rank and order on public occasions ; a harbinger, a pursuivant. He was also a person who ordered the position of guests in the hall. It would be very difficult to assign the exact period when the surname of Brook was first used in Morley, but no doubt some William or John at the brook, would be the ancestor of the present bearers of that common name. In the earlier usages of the name it is entered as John of the brook, John at the brook, John above the brook, Richard below the brook, and Peter behind the brook ; the situation of the home of the owner giving his personality. The surname of Scarth, a very common name in Morley for centuries, is said by Mr. D. Scarth (Morley) to belong to that class of names which are of foreign origin ; was brought to England and the Orkney Islands by our Norse ancestors — the Scandinavian invaders, or Danish Vikings. Like most other names it has experienced many variations in spelling, the result of which is that there are two or three forms of surname extant, viz., Scarth, Scarfe, Scafe, and I am inclined to think Skaife has emanated from the same source. The name is said to come direct from one of those " Skartha," the friend and companion in arms of King Sweyn, of the tenth century. Scarth, or Skarth, according to the old spelling, means a rocky valley. There are several places named Scarth in Iceland ; one hill or valley in Cumberland ; one or two places in Lancashire and Yorkshire, called Scarth-in-Well, Scarth-in-all ; one place in Lincolnshire, not far from Grimsby and Cleethorpes, named Scarths. The nomenclature and geographical positions of these places point with unerring certainty to their Danish origin ; instance the two last, Grimsby with its "by," and Cleethorpes with its "thorp." It may reasonably be inferred, from the position occupied by the men bearing this name, that they would be selected as leaders of those expeditions which used to visit these shores ; and that, having made settlements and built their " bys " or homesteads, they would, in course of time, be called after the name of the owner. I think there is abundant evidence to prove that there is one class of surnames from which place-names have been derived, and another derived from place-names. It is well known to most students of history that the Orkney Islands for a considerable number of years belonged to the Danish Crown, and that they were early seized by the Northmen. Not far from Kirkwall is a place called Bin Scarth ; on this estate are a number of valleys named Howes Scarth, Hind Scarth, Cotter Scarth, Scttis Scarth, &c. In 1544, this estate was owned by Andrew Scartii, Pothman or Magistrate of Orkney, who seems to have inherited it from his conquering ancestor. It appears to have since passed out of the family, but was again repurchased by one of the descendants in 1800. From the above-named Andrew, descended a William Scarth, a Hull shipowner, from whom have 44 MORLEY OLD CHAPEL. descended most of the Scarths in the Leeds and Morley district. To a James Scarth, who was born in 1070, and whose remains now rest in the graveyard at Wood Kirk, near Wakefield, I can trace in a direct line most of the Scarths in this neighbourhood. Scattered throughout the register, the name of Mortimer is met with, and Greenwell tells us that legitimately or illegitimately, the blood of old Norman knights run in the veins of the possessors of the designation, although in some cases the appellation may have been assumed. The name appears in Leland's copy of the Roll of Battle Abbey, and there seems to be no reason why the appellation there given should not be accepted as the correct one. Mortimer, i.e. de Mortuo-Mari, or in other words, "of the Dead Sea," but why it was bestowed on the valiant knight, we leave for future research. Ranulph de Mortuo-Mari was one of the followers of the Conqueror, and from him derived a branch which held an important position in Southern Wales for centuries. From it or the elder branch the present race of Mortimers descended. Bailey, from "a bailiff, baillie, bailey, or as we now call him, a steward, acted as his master's deputy. His place was one of honour and trust. The unjust steward in the parable is in Wickliffe's Bible called a baylyf and a baylye." Bail had and has the meaning of security. Bailler was an old French law term, which signified to secure, to keep in custody, hence bailiff and Middle English (13th-15th centuries), one who keeps in ward. Fletcher. The fletcher in ancient days, was one whose business it was to feather the arrows. To fledge is to furnish with feathers. A fledgling is a young bird ready to leave the nest. The last surname we shall allude to, and of which many examples occur in the Morley register, is the name of Oldroyd, Holroyd, Oldrut, etc. D. Scarth, says the word seems to have had its origin as a place- name. Our own district furnishes abundant evidence of this. There are place names of this description almost innumerable. There is scarcely a town, village, or hamlet, that has not a " royd," or " royds," in the shape of a farm, field, or a certain part within its boundaries known by that name. The name exists -in Booth Royd, which speaks of a long-ago occupant ; Monk Royd tells of an owner and a religious order of things long since passed away ; Harper Royd tells of an owner who in all probability would be the village harper ; Miller Royd would, no doubt, be owned by the man who would grind the corn for the village rustics. We might go on enumerating these names almost indefinitely — Gill Royd, Far Royds, Low Royds, Hanging Royd, Bin Royd, Raven Royd, May Royd. The last furnishes memories of a time when the lonely farmstead would be hedged round with hawthorn or may, In remote times, some Saxon Thane, Danish Viking, or landed proprietor may have measured out a part of his estate by the rod for one of his dependents, and it would be known ever after as the Royds. When sons and daughters multiplied and herds and flocks increased, AUTOGRAPHS OF MINISTERS. 45 new homes or settlements would have to be made, hence the old one would become " Oldroyd." The old people in the course of time taking the name of the homestead, would be called " Oldroyds." I have a strong impression that the surname of Rhodes, so numerously represented in the West Biding, comes from the same source, the old way of pronouncing it, if not spelling it, being Roydes. We shall now briefly allude to some noteworthy individuals whose burials are recorded in the Register : — In 17G9, Samuel Clark was buried, and Morley lost a worthy citizen. Samuel, when living, was a drysalter, and accumulated money, and he was of some importance as a town's official in days when incorporation Autographs of*Mii»isters of St. Mary's, a.tk 1840-6 was not in the reckoning. He was chief constable in 17G0, and those who remember John Hollings will know what an important personage the constable was in ancient times. They were, indeed, a terror to evil-doers, and the mere mention of his name was sufficient to cower the youth of the village. Samuel was Churchwarden in 1766, though we are at a loss to know in what his official duties consisted, seeing that Morley had no church until 1880. He was also overseer of the poor in 1768, long before the Union House at Staincliffe had an exist- ence, and in" the days when the poor were kept in their own township and looked after by those who best knew their necessities. Samuel had also been surveyor of the highways, and to give our readers some idea of what the duties were of a town's official, we have a rate-book 40 MORLEY OLD CHAPEL. for 1794, thirty years after the time when Samuel Clark was surveyor, and we leani from this insignificant little book that there were only 100 ratepayers, and the rate at sixpence in the pound realised £80 15s. 3d. ; the rateable value being £1,888, as against £58,000 in 1888. Clark was a man whose opinion had weight with his neighbours ; he was given to hospitality, and no doubt left this world amid the regrets and lamentations of his many friends. Among the entries for 1778 in the Register we find the " burial " of the Rev. Timothy Aldred, a minister who was universally respected. He was an accomplished Latin scholar and an erudite Biblical critic. He was Pastor at the Old Chapel for 54 years, and during all that time was only once absent from his pulpit. It is said that in 1715 his hearers amounted to 450, a number which puts to shame the attend- ance in 1888, especially when we consider the increase in population. During his ministry the chapel was underdrawn and otherwise " restored," and we can well understand how the hard headed Puritans who lived in Morley nearly two centuries ago would flock to listen to this worthy divine, of whom it is said that he "approved himself in polemical debate to be no less a polished gentleman than an elegant scholar and profound theologian." During Mr. Aldred's ministry, Joseph Haigh was appointed clerk, and following the example set him by his superior in office, he kept to his post for half-a-century, though we have no record to show that he attended to his duties with the same regularity as his pastor. His burial took place, as the Register testifies, in 1770. In the time of Mr. Haigh, and until the year 1847, the ministers at St. Mary's retained the services of a clerk who occupied a seat below the pulpit, and who acted as precentor and gave out public and other notices. Besides giving out the psalms and hymns, the clerk made public many secular matters in which the congregation were expected to take an interest. It was no unusual thing to hear the clerk drawl out a notice as follows in his sing-song style : " I am desired to give notice that a rate of one shilling in the pound for the township of Morley has been allowed by Thomas Blank and John Blank, two of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of York, one whereof is of the quorum." In a similar way sales by auction, acts of trespass, and town's meetings were duly made known. In 1781, we find the following entry in the Register of Burials : — Feby. 14th. Lady Loughborough, daughter of John Dawson, Esq., aged 80. This lady, whose maiden name was Betty Anne Dawson, became the wife of Alexander Wedderburn, who was born in 1733 ; was Solicitor-General, in 1771 ; Attorney- General, 1778 ; Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, 1781 ; created Baron Loughborough, 14th June, 1780. The tombstone of Lady Loughborough is on the South side of the Chapel, but the inscription upon it is illegible, and it is desirable that steps should be taken to have the letters re-cut, so that this memorial of a member of a family to whom Morley was greatly indebted should not perish altogether. ST. MARY S CHOIR. 47 The Kev. Thomas Morgan, whose death occurred in the last year of the last century, must not be passed over without our paying a tribute to his many excellent qualities. He was a native of Wales, and was known as the " Welsh Cicero." His abilities and virtues have been summed up as follows: — "He was well-informed, serious and diligent ; his matter was sound and appropriate, his language clear and well- selected, his demeanour dignified and reverend, his figure majestic and venerable, his countenance most expressive ; and it is said further, that he addressed his congregation in the earnestness of faith, with the language of a scholar, with the learning of a deep divine, and the manners of a courteous and accomplished gentleman." This character given of Mr. Morgan by one who knew him in the flesh, leaves nothing for us to add. Choir at St. Mary's, a.d. 1786. ["(''The last of the notabilities, whose names are in the Register, that we shall notice is Ben Foster, who was the sexton and chapel-keeper, and the son of one who held office as " dog-whipper " at St. Mary's — a term applied to one whose office was to keep the chapel clear of stray dogs, who at times succeeded in gaining an entrance and would join in the responses in a way calculated to upset the gravity and decorum of the worshippers. In those days it was customary in many churches 48 MOBLEY OLD CHAPEL. for this functionary to go round the edifice during service, carrying a long staff, at one end of which was a fox's brush, and at the other a knob ; with the former he gently tickled the faces of the female sleepers, while on the heads of their male compeers he bestowed with the knob a sensible rap. During the time Foster filled the offices of sexton and grave-digger, the funerals at the Old Chapel were numerous, and the fees from this source formed an important part of his income. If there happened to be, as he termed it, "a slack time," he often wished that "somebody as buries at the place would be sharp and die." When complaining to the minister, as he often did, that some one or other had not treated him as he deserved, he always ended by saying, "You know that I am the third man in the chapel; you know it is parson, clerk, and sexton ; there is only you, sir, and George Smifli (the clerk), before me ; — I am sexton ; — you know, I always give you the pre-eminence ; but I am the third man." " Old Ben " died Feb- ruary 21st, 1841, aged 78 years. From a study of the Register, we think, we may learn one or two useful lessons. In reading over the bare catalogue of the names of those who for the last two hundred years occupied a place in Morley in much the same manner and for much the same purpose as we do, we are reminded of the vanity of human ambition ; for, whatever they may have been or done, except in a very few instances, all knowledge of them individually has gone ; all their acts of generosity and benevo- lence have borne their fruit and passed away ; those whom they helped in their sad hour of trial are gone also ; nothing material is left to us concerning them, and there is no living witness to sing their praises. Some, indeed, to whom we have alluded, and others who might have been named, who have been benefactors both to St. Mary's and to the town, we cannot willingly forget. If their bones have long since crumbled to dust, they have been laid in the God's Acre which sur- rounds the Chapel, and the dear old stones which testify to their worth remind us of them, their deeds, their hopes, and their fears. The history of bygone times as read in our Chapel register, furnishes us with many illustrations of talent and piety, and self-denial, all of which might advantageously be imitated now. Of St. Mary's and its graveyard, which contain all that remains of many generations of men, women, and children of this ancient town, we can say with the poet : — *' Where soars that spire, our rude forefathers prayed : Thither they came, from many a thick-leaved dell Year after year, and o'er those footpaths strayed, When summoned by the sounding Sabbath bell, — For in those walls they deemed that God did dwell. And still they sleep within that bell's deep sound. Yon spire doth here of no distinction tell : O'er rich and poor, marble and earthly mound, The Monument of all — it marks one common ground." The graveyard connected with the old Chapel, cannot fail to be an object of interest, when we remember that for one thousand years it ANCIEXT TOMBSTONES. 49 has, in all probability, been the resting-place for the remains of former inhabitants of this and the neighbouring villages. Before proceeding to speak of the tombstones, we would correct an error into which Scatcherd has fallen with regard to non-interment in that portion of the graveyard situate on the north side of the Chapel. He explains what he calls "this singularity," by references to the writings of eminent archaeologists and antiquaries, who, however, differ very materially in their conclusions ; and certainly their opinions do not warrant us in supposing that any superstitious motives caused the inhabitants of Morley to avoid the interment of their dead on the north side of the Old Chapel. When the Chapel was taken down in 1875, it was found that on the north side of the interior there were a number of graves having slabs over them, four of these having brass plates with inscriptions. These graves must have been at one time in the graveyard, for the dates on the inscriptions are prior to 1700, and the enlargement of the Chapel, which brought in these slabs and graves, did certainly not take place before 1720 or 1780. As we wander amongst the graves we are reminded what a parish history is beneath our feet. Here we can trace generations of Greatheads, Scatcherds, Websters, Asquiths, Smiths, Dawsons, and many other well-known local family names. There are many gravestones dating from 1007 to the end of the seventeenth century, and these have curious designs and rudely-carved inscriptions upon them, and are well worthy the inspection of those persons curious in such matters. Two of the oldest stones have inscriptions as follows : — Heare lieth the body of William Tompson, who departed this life July 5, 1667. " Precious is the death of the sants in the ies of the Lord." — Psl. 11 6 vr. Here lieth the body of Stephen Tompson, of Morley, who departed this life the 5th day of December, in the 62nd year of his age, in the year of our Lord 1675. " Whom have I in heaven but thee, and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee." Nothing further is known of these worthies beyond the fact that they were father and son, and both were at one time members of the congregation at the Old Chapel. Another stone of the plainest character records the burial of one of the ejected ministers, as follows : Here resteth the body of Abraham Dawson, of Morley, who departed this life the 19th November, 1671, aged 61. Abraham Dawson was a person of some consequence, and possessed of considerable means. He was privy to the Farnley Wood Plot, and was denounced by Ralph Oates as such, but escaped any unpleasant consequences. Here lyeth the body of Alice, the wife of Samuel Baily, of Morley, who was buried the 22nd day of June, Anno Domini 1674.

This lady was a dwarf, and was sent down to Morley for her health.

He was the poet who wrote flatteries in rhyme, addressed to Cromwell and Charles the Second, and who, when the latter remarked that his poetical panegyric of the Protector was the best composition of the two, excused himself by saying " that poets are most successful in fiction."

It is much to be regretted that one whose manuscripts consisted of sermons, critical essays, and some Latin compositions, has not left us rome memorials of the ancient church with which he was so long connected, and with the history of which there is reason to believe he was well acquainted. Mr. Aldred was energetic in opposition to Wesley's doctrine of Christian perfection. He departed this life August 21st, 1773, and was buried in the Old Chapel graveyard, where a stone was erected over hi* grave bearing the following inscription : — " Here lyeth interred the Rev. Mr. Timothy Aldred, pastor of the congregation of Protestant Dissenters at Morley 54 years, who departed this life, August 21st, 1773, jEtatis, 88th." Mr. AldreJ had resigned his pastorate in 1763. Neal describes him as having 450 hearers in 1715. — Scatcherd'b Unrley. f Burials, not deaths, now recorded. REGISTER OF BURIALS. 121 Mary, dau. of Robert Jackson, Jan., bur.

December 22, aged 85 * In the "good old times" the minister retained the services of a clerk, who occupied a seat below the pulpit, and who acted as precentor, and gave out public and other notices. In those days the duties of the clerk were not confined to simply giving out the psalms and hymns, for the art of printing was then in its infancy in country villages, and our simple-minded forefathers made public through this important functionary, after the sermon, all those secular transactions in which the villagers were expected to feel an interest. In this way sales by auction, acts of trespass or damage, and towns' meetings were duly mqde known. A person of the name of Stainer was the first chapel clerk of whom we have any record, and his immediate successor was one John Kayner. In 1726, Joseph Haigh was ap- pointed to the office of clerk, and retained it until 1776, when he died, aged 85 years. In 1777 Nathaniel Slack was elected, and held the appointment until 1804, when he was succeeded by George Smith, who diligently performed the duties of the office for upwards of forty years. — Smith's Morley : Ancient and Modern.

He appears to have left this charge because his people thought that he was not fully Evangelical (it may be pre- sumed he was a Baxterian), and he created the same feeling among some of his flock at the Old Chapel. He was under- no suspicion of heterodoxy as it regnrds tho Atonement, for among other tracts he wrote "An Appeal to the Common Sense of Plain and Common Christians on behalf of the Old Christianity of the Gospel," which drew the famous Dr. Priestley, then at Leeds, into the conflict through the columns of the Leeds Intelligencer. "Mr. Morgan died July 22nd, 1799, aged 80 years ; after having faithfully discharged the office of pastor here, from October 23rd, 17(53, to September 28th, 1794, when it pleased God to suffer his power of speech and active usefulness to be destroyed by a paralytic stroke." Mr. Morgan's son, the Rev. Thomas Morgan, LL.D., and a daughter, the late Mrs. John Wetherill, his only children, long survived their worthy parent.

For thirty years he practised as a harrister, hut he was hest remembered by our elders as the magistrate who held his Court in a parlour at the Nelson's Arms. Here did Win. Wilkinson, the village constable, bring before his "Worship" the refractory drunkard, the ne'er-do w» -el of the village, the poacher, and the incorrigible of every class ; and hero did the magistrate dispense his even-handed justice, tempering it with merer, to the law- breaking neighbours amongst whom it was his lot to dwell. He was a native of whom wc have reason to he proud,— ever kind to the poor, generous to a fault, aud, as his son says of him, " never guilty of an immoral action or even an improper expression. Of immorality in every form, he was a severe censor, but he never forgave the man who offended his delicacy." 152 MORLEY OLD CHAPEL.

October 80, aged 89 * Samuel Wetherill, trustee of the Old Chapel, was one of a family of that name who lived many years at Millshaw. He was a well-informed man, remarkably con- versant in the ecclesiastical history of the seventeenth century, with a taste for antiquities, and an excellent memory, which caused his society to be much sought after. He was the beau-ideal of a genuine antiquary, for it was no unusual thing for him to spend a great portion of the night, poring over manuscripts, copying old parish registers or copies of documents that had been leut to him, or entering up his collection of facts relating to the ecclesiastical history of the county. Nor did he, miser-like, keep his acquisitions to himself, for he was ever ready with the most kindly good nature to answer all enquiries, and, as our historian informs us, he, as well as other antiquarian students, perpetually made use of Mr. Wetherill's useful advice and counsel, and to one and all he was alike ready to tell what he knew, and in return to accept any small contributions^ information his visitors might be able to impart. Unlike some modern enthusiastic lovers of antiquity, he was scrupulous in preserving and returning everything that was lent to him ; and had he possessed the faculty for collecting, arranging, and editing his materials, he would, no doubt, have left to posterity, many volumes of most interesting matter. A friend says of him that " he was still more distinguished for the equality and sweetness of his temper, and the propriety and consistency of his conduct." — Smith's Morley. 160 MORLEY OLD CHAPEL.

March 2 * The Rev. Abraham Hudswell, whose name and teachings are still remembered with affection by some of the older inhabitants of the village, commenced his stated ministry, at the Old Chapel, on the first Sunday in January, 1817. His congre- gation was small, and yet it contained diverse elements, " the poor members being the most evangelical, the richer holding very doubtful sentiments." In the prime of life, and with great mental and physical energy, full of activity, with a great love for his work, he determined, if possible, to win over the whole people to decided evangelical sentiments. As a preacher, it has been said of him that "he was a most pious and gifted man, a zealous and able preacher of the pure faith, deeply read in theology, orthodox in his views, eloquent and impressive in his delivery, with a clear metaphysical mind, capable of nice discernment." His plain, earnest, effective ministry rallied the congregation, and re-established evangelical sentiments, bringing the church once more into union with other bodies of the Congregational order. At the latter part of his ministry the congregation had greatly improved, for there was one thing the bulk of the people of Morley were remarkable for, namely, the extreme strictness with which they kept the Lord's day. It was considered very wrong to "go for a walk" f . r mere recreation or pleasure on that day; and, like their predecessors the Puritans, they did as little housework as possible, and cooked no victuals, the whole time being devoted to meditation and prayer. We are ftlad to find that Mr. Hudswell, confined his sermons within thirty-five minutes, for this is much shorter than was the case the century previous, when wo are told that seven w 170 MORLEY OLD CHAPEL.

There was the frequent carrying of coffins and passage of funerals through the streets ; and we well rememher watching the burial of several of the victims in the south corner of the churchyard, where lime was shovelled on to the coffins, and the faces of the few attendants aud the white robes of the clergyman looked ghostlike in the flickering glare of the huge pan of pitch which had accompanied the mournful procession. Many of the funerals took place after the long summer day had faded into darkness. The villagers, in their great alarm, were afraid to strip their dead ; hence, numbers were buried in their clothes. All the old funeral customs were set aside, for the last breath was hardly gasped out before the coffin was sent for, and in a few hours the corpse was on its way to the graveyard. Sufficient bearers could seldom be found to carry it in the old decorous fashion ; and tbe coffin was, in most instances, placed in a cart, behind which a pan of boiling pitch formed part of the funeral cortege. As the cases of cholera increased, and the fear and peril grew from day to day, the means to counteract them grew also. A committee was formed, and a fund of £60 subscribed, which was expended in alleviating the misery of the sufferers, and affording aid where human help was possible. Clergy and laity met daily, to plan fresh precautions, and to grant relief in the most abundant measure. The Earl of Dartmouth, with a commendable liberality, sent several subscriptions to the fund, besides contributing £15 to be expended in clothing and bedding for the sufferers, and also placing £4 per week for three months at the disposal of the com- mittee to be paid to the widows, orphans, and others, who stood in the greatest need. We cannot record the sad account of those fearful weeks during which the pestilence was in our midst, without mentioning the valuable services rendered by the Rev. John Morris, at that time minister of the Old Chapel. Throughout the whole period of the visitation, the disease was of the most malignant character, horrible in its symptoms, and rapid in its destruction ; and, though the deaths were not so numerous, in proportion to the population, as at Hunslet and many other places, yet it was probably more keenly felt, for each case was known throughout the village, and each death was more or less a grief to numbers of old friends, or neighbours, or relations. — Smith's, Morley, Ancient and Modern.

November 5, aged * Norrisson Cavendish Scatcherd was born at Morley House, on the 29th of Feb- ruary, 1780, and was the son of Watson Scatcherd, who for thirty years practised as a barrister, and served the public as a magistrate. Young Norrisson was educated at Marylebone and Hipperholme Schools, and, graduating at Cambridge, was called to the bar on the 28th of November, 180(5. He practised only for a very short time, and then betook himself to literature and antiquarian pursuits. It was not his social position that gave Mr. Scatcherd a name and a place in the annals of his native village ; nor the humble simplicity and goodness of his private life ; but his marvellous industry and care as a topographical and historical collector. His History of Morley contains many most noteworthy facts concerning a district which has always been interesting, and is now of considerable importance. To the compilation of this work Mr. Scatcherd brought a large amount of assiduous research and patient enquiry, extending even to the legendary recollections of " oldest inhabitants," who related to him what they knew of the history of the villnge and district. In addition to these sources of information, he hunted up all the facts he could obtain from authors and from neighbours, and in this way the History became a labour of life, and a labour of love. Our historian also wrote " Memoirs of the cchbra'ed Eugene . -Irani, who was executed for the murder of Daniel Clark, at Knaresborough, 1759 ; with some account of his family, and other particulars, collected for the most part above thirty years ago," two editions; Gleanin aged 8 mos.

Nov. 13, aged 83 * Helliwell was a man of singular activity, courage, and sagacity. These traits of character he displayed in a remarkable manner on one occasion, when (about four o'clock in the morning of February 7th, 1822) he and his family were alarmed by the cry of fire, and soon perceived that the stacks in the farmyard were in flames. The fire had burnt a stack of clover and one of corn, and had reached the threshold of a barn and mistal in which were thirteen head of cattle, when the neighbours arrived at this critical moment and saved the property from further destruction. A Blight snow had just fallen on the ground, sufficient for tracing the footsteps of a man who appeared to have worn remarkable shoes. One of them had evidently been repaired with a clumsy strip of leather on the sole, and both of them left the impression of their nails so perfect that not only the number but the shape of them was manifest. The incendiary had clearly come np a field on the north-east side, had tried to enter the mistal, and had come into the fold by getting over the fence wall ; no other foot- steps were visible. Helliwell noticed all these peculiarities, and, rousing himself to almost superhuman energies, he flew from place to place to restrain the wanderings of those who he feared might obliterate the footmarks; and, hunting the enemy backward to his house in Neepshaw Lane, and thence to Morley and Beeston, with the fleotnes8 of a bloodhound he overtook and seized him. with the very shoes upon his feet, before eight o'clock on the same morning. John Vickcrs, the delinquent, was a fellow of the vilest and most dangerous description, and he had committed this atrocious act simply in revenge, because Helliwell had pointed out his dwelling to an officer who was instructed to make a distress for rent. Vickcrs was transported to Botany Bay, much to the annoyance of our historian, who deemed him worthy of a much more sevcro punishment. — Scatcheiu/s Minify. 181 MORLKY OLD CHAPEL.

In trivial cases of assault, or summon* cases arising out of neighbours' quarrels, John's services were invaluable. His practice was to smooth the troubled waters, by speaking kindly to the offended ones, and terrifying the wrongdoers into making amends, rather than to " make a case " for the magistrates. 100 MiiKLEY OLD CHAPEL.

George Southey, B.A., who was a native of Warwick, received his edu- cation at Spring Hill College, and remained there six years. He matriculated the first year he entered college, and in the second year he obtained his B.A. degree first-class, and also passed two Scriptural examinations in Hebrew, for which he received two prizes. In May, 1866, he accepted the call to the pastorate at the Old Chapel. His pulpit ministrations were very acceptable, and his sermons were characterised by earnestness of faith with the language of a scholar. To the great regret of his people, his earthly career was cut short by death on the 17th of February, 1875, in the forty-first year of his age, and the ninth year of his ministry here. A monument to his memory is in the graveyard.— Smith's Alorley. REGISTER OF BURIALS. 199 Hannah Maria Briggs, bur. January 29, aged 8 mos. 1876 Mary, dau. of Henry Hebden, bur.

Mr. Rayner's work, so carefully edited by Mr. William Smith, is of more than passing interest ; of permanent value to the student of Yorkshire county history. The book is most profusely illustrated with portraits, landscapes and facsimiles of documents. * * * Altogether the work is one which does honour to the memory of its author, and the sympathetic care of its no less industrious editor. Leeds Mercury. This handsome volume. ***** The text of the work shows wise planning. We have the story of the town told in a series of distinct parts — one relating to the early civil history of the district, and others to the ecclesiastical and political history of Pudsey. Then follow chapters on etymologies, topographical features, local Government, bio- graphical sketches, folk lore and superstition, local customs, manufactures, etc. Altogether, the work gives a most acceptable presentation of local history. There are not many places in Yorkshire, or indeed in England, which have had so much justice done to their origin, development and antiquity, as has Pudsey, now that this volume has appeared. Sicord and Trowel. (Rev. C. H. Spurgeon.) This is a noble volume. How comes Pudsey to be so favoured when many a larger place is left unhonoured and unsung? We have a weakness for these topographical books: they are the gossip of history, the chit-chat of geography. Better far than tales of battle are the records of the peacelul growth of village and township, and the rise and decay of families. The annals of our forefathers, the pictures of their antique abodes, the descriptions of their manners — all these have a quiet charm about them, and help to make hours of leisure, bright, cheerful and useful. Pudsey News. It is impossible in a brief paragraph to do more than indicate a few of the treasures of this work, which, as a book of reference, is invaluable. * * * The book taken as a whole, is highly creditable, praiseworthy and valuable in its contents, and is well printed and bound in a very handsome style. Suffolk Records. The compilation is so good that we doubt whether few parochial histories can compete therewith, and the book should be purchased just as a specimen of what a local history should be. Western Antiquary. The typography is excellent, the engravings are above the average, and the woodcut* are equally good. Hereafter we shall rank Pudsey amongst the many notable Yorkshire towns having a history, and that history well told. Mrs. Rayner will send the work on receipt of Postal Notes for the amount.

OPINIOXS OF THE PRESS: " In this (second) volume we have the Registers of Calverley from 1 649 to 1 680, together with a History of the Church, and copies of the monumental inscriptions remaining in it. Many very useful notes of wills, entries from other registers, gravestones, &c, have been added to the Registers ; and in " Additional Notes," which come at the end of the book, will be found much relating to the Calverley Family, and the ancestry of the poet Longfellow. The Longfellows appear to have been settled at Otley as early as i486, and to have been a family of the yeoman class Although Mr. Margerison has collected a mass of Inter- eating details, he has not yet succeeded in making out clearly the missing link, but he has come so near it that we (eel that there is every reason to think he may yet be able to discover the direct positive prcof now wanting. We spoke in terms of commendation of the first volume of this work, and the one now before us is certainly in many respects an improvement on its predecessor. Mr. Margeri- son is doing, and doing well, a laborious task, and one which, when completed, will, we trust, gain for him that esteem he well merits." — The Genealogist, October, 1883. " We reviewed the first volume of the Calverley Registers some time ago (6th S. ii. 400) We spoke highly of Mr. Margerison's labours at that time, and are bound to repeat what we then said. We have, indeed, seldom met with documents of this nature edited with such reverend care. The time has passed by when it was thought a sensible thing to make fun of persons who devoted their time to the study of genealogy. The student of " musty old manuscripts" was once thought of a5 a harmless imbecile ; now even the densest persons have attained to the notion that there is bo:h pleasure and profit to be gleaned by the se who will intelligently study the registers of the humblest village church. Genea- logists of former days were in some degree to blame for the slight esteem in which they were held. When the pedigrees of men of rank were alone thought worth chronicling there was much excuse for those who looked upon such, studies as time misspent. The modern school of genealogists know well that a parish register, to be of any service for bistorical purposes, must be given entire, and that it is as silly to publish excerpts only as it would be to treat a chronicle or a poem that existed only in one copy in a similar manner. We have read every word of this Calverley Register, and feel assured that it will be found very useful for many purposes but remotely connected with the history of Yorkshire families. The present volume extends from 1 649 to 1680. The account of the church is short, but sensibly written, and there is a useful appendix, containing information as to the families of Calverley, Longfellow, and several others. The monumental inscriptions in the church, and a list of the churchwardens from 1653 to 1881, is also given." — Notes and Queries, Nov. 3, 1883. "The second volume of these interesting and valuable registers has just been published by Mr. Samuel Margerison. The volume contains the register of baptisms, marriages, and burials of the interesting period 1650 to 1680, and the second part of a well-written history of this ancient parish church. The register is interspersed with historical notes on the wills, &c, of the persons named therein. There are numerous notes at the end of the volume on the Calverley family, as well as other local families of Pudsey, Idle, &c, all interesting and valuable to the genealogist and historian. Considerable interest has been shewn [lately] on the subject of the ancestry of the poet Longfellow, whose ancestors emigrated from this part of Yorkshire to America in the seventeenth century, and this volume contains the most complete collection of notes, extending over thirteen pages, on this subject, hitherto published. The volume, which is illustrated, also contains a valuable index, and altogether it reflects the highest credit upon Mr. Margerison for his painstaking and praiseworthy work." — Leeds Alercury.
