Mellor is a village in Greater Manchester, England, lying between Marple Bridge and New Mills, Derbyshire. [1]

Contents

Buildings in the village include St. Thomas' Church, a primary school, golf course, sports club, a riding school, three pubs (the Royal Oak, [2] The Devonshire Arms [3] and The Oddfellows Arms [4] ) and the late-17th-century Mellor Hall.

The village was a civil parish in the county of Derbyshire until 1936, when it was transferred to Marple Urban District in Cheshire. [5] In 1974, it became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport in Greater Manchester.

History

The origin of the name Mellor is uncertain. In one Celtic dialect, the term would translate to "the bare (or rounded) hill" [ citation needed ]. The name Mellor does not appear in the Norman-era Domesday Book, although the neighbouring settlement of Ludworth (recorded as Lodeuorde) is listed. [6] It is possible that Ludworth originally included Mellor and that they split into two distinct areas at a later date.[ citation needed ]

The Saxons built a church at the southernmost end of the Iron Age settlement at some point in the 7th or 8th centuries. The church was subsequently destroyed and rebuilt, possibly several times.[ citation needed ] St. Thomas' Church has the oldest known wooden pulpit in Britain, possibly the world. [7] Dating from the reign of Edward II (1307–1327), it is octagonal and carved from a single piece of wood. [8] The church also has a 12th-century font. [9]

According to local legend, Mellor Hall is built on the foundations of the house of a Norman nobleman.[ citation needed ] During excavations of the Iron Age hill fort, a 13th-century hall was discovered. [10] [ citation needed ] By the time of the English Civil War, Marple had become important in the region, so much so that John Bradshawe, Lord President of the High Court of Justice and Lord of Marple Hall, was the first to sign the death warrant of King Charles I. [11]

A model of Mellor Mill and the 'Roman Lakes'

Samuel Oldknow [12] was a significant businessman [13] and mill owner [14] in Mellor during the Industrial Revolution. Just across the River Goyt are the "Roman Lakes". [15] [16] [17] These are not Roman, but were water reservoirs for Samuel Oldknow's Mellor Mill, [18] a cotton mill that was a major employer in the area during the Industrial Revolution. The mill was destroyed by fire in November 1892.

Another major figure in Mellor at this time was William Radcliffe, a mill owner who invented many devices [19] for improving the textile industry.

At the height of the Industrial Revolution, coal-power supplanted water-power as the driving force and minable coal seams were found in Mellor. Relatively recently, British Coal strip-mined the seams that still contained commercially viable coal.

Before it expanded in the Victorian era, Mellor was a small village of a few houses, including the hamlet of Moorend, now considered part of Mellor.

Geography

Mellor lies in the foothills of the Pennines, just outside the area of Derbyshire known as the High Peak. Nearby villages include Rowarth, Marple Bridge, Ludworth and Mill Brow. The town of Marple lies across the River Goyt. A little further away are the towns of Romiley and New Mills, and the villages of Hayfield and Strines. Mellor Church and Mellor Hall are on a ridge, separated from the bulk of the village by a gully and stream.

The oldest part of inhabited Mellor runs alongside the River Goyt, stretching from the oldest parts of Marple Bridge up the hill and spreading out where the slope becomes gentler. Newer parts of the village run down Longhurst Lane, the old turnpike road, and into former farmland released for building by Townscliffe Farm. At the very top of Mellor is the junction of Five Ways; one of these roads runs to Mellor, a second to Rowarth, a third to Strines and New Mills, the fourth to a water treatment plant and a fifth to many farms on the edge of Mellor. Spoil heaps indicate mining operations here; coal was mined in the general area during the Industrial Revolution.

Due to its topology, Mellor lies on one of the easier points for entering the Pennines from the Mersey Basin by road or foot. It is also on the flight path for air traffic into Manchester Airport.

Geology

Mellor is within a gritstone area in a part of the Peak District referred to as the Dark Peak; in contrast, the limestone region of the Peak District is referred to as the White Peak. The underlying geology of the area belongs to the Carboniferous Millstone Grit series, which outcrop as the Middle Grit. Below this are shales, mudstones and older Gritstones, such as the Kinder Scout Grit which forms the Kinder Plateau to the east. Boulder clay, left from the Ice Age, can usually be found just below the surface-level soil. At one point, all of the Peak District – Mellor included – was submerged beneath relatively warm waters; evidence for this is the limestone region, with the limestone containing fossils of coral and other shallow-depth warm-water creatures.

The gritstone comes from deposits laid down about 300 million years ago over the limestone. Shallow coal deposits lie on top of the gritstone, although most of these have long since been mined. Very deep coal deposits occur further into the Pennines but, again, many of these have been worked out.

The soil in Mellor is fairly rich in peat and can bog easily, but there are no permanent peat bogs within Mellor itself. The only other noteworthy detail on Mellor's geology is the almost complete absence of iodine, particularly in the water of the River Goyt. If no other source of iodine is in the diet, the consequent iodine deficiency can lead to an enlarged thyroid gland, a condition known as "Derbyshire Neck" or goitre.

Governance

On the creation of Greater Manchester, Mellor became a part of Stockport Metropolitan Borough.

A few small businesses work out of the old mills that scatter the countryside, and there is a limited amount of farming, principally grazing livestock: sheep and beef cattle. Horses are also common, and horse-riding is a popular pursuit in the area, which benefits from many ancient bridleways.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Scheduled monuments in Greater Manchester</span>

There are 37 scheduled monuments in Greater Manchester, a metropolitan county in North West England. In the United Kingdom, a scheduled monument is a "nationally important" archaeological site or historic building that has been given protection against unauthorised change by being placed on a list by the Secretary of State for Digital Culture, Media and Sport; Historic England recommends sites for scheduling to the Secretary of State. Scheduled monuments are defined in the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and the National Heritage Act 1983. There are nearly 20,000 entries on the schedule, which is maintained by Historic England as part of the National Heritage List for England; more than one site can be included in a single entry. While a scheduled monument can also be recognised as a listed building, Historic England's aim is to set the most appropriate form of protection in place for the building or site. Applications to deschedule a site are administered Historic England, who will carry out an assessment and make a recommendation to the Secretary of State.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Mellor Mill</span> Former six-story cotton mill in Marple, England

Mellor Mill, also known as Bottom's Mill, was a six-story cotton mill in Marple, Greater Manchester built by Samuel Oldknow in 1793. This was a six-storey, 42-foot (13 m) wide and 210-foot (64 m) long mill with additional three-storey wings making it 400 feet (120 m) in all. The mill was built for Samuel Oldknow and used to spin coarse counts. It was originally driven by the Wellington water wheel. The River Goyt, and with it the then county boundary between Derbyshire and Cheshire was diverted and a weir built, the leat fed a millpond that in later times was named the Roman Lakes. This in turn fed a second mill pond along with water from reservoir in Linnet Clough. Supplementary power was provided by a second exterior wheel known as the Waterloo wheel. The Mill reached its peak production in 1804, when 10,080 spindles were operating and around 550 people were employed. It was destroyed by fire in 1892.
