Description
Excerpt from Independency at Brighouse: Or, Bridge End Chapel Pastors and People
Much Of the material in the following pages was gathered before the writer had well entered his teens. As years rolled on he extended his enquiries, and matter accumulated to such a degree that articles were prepared for a local newspaper. These Fragments Of Local His tory, instead Of lessening the stock brought a large accession of more valuable data; and he feels that inasmuch as fourteen years of his life have been spent at a distance from his native township, he will be justified in arranging his materials for a History Of Hipperholme cum-brighouse, so that an abler person may take the field, in the same way that a Wright''s Halifax was superseded by awatson''s. He ?atters himself that he will be able to give the name Of almost every person (not to mention family) who has resided in the township from 1300 to the present. These he has Obtained from Manorial Rolls, Church Registers, and innumerable deeds. The proposed volume will embrace the annals Of Coley and Lightcliffe Churches; histori cal sketches Oi the Friends, Moravians, and Methodists the town''s Officers for nearly six hundred years; and material for pedigrees rang_ ing back to the immediate origin Of surnames, and scores Of other particulars. This, of course, means a large book, and the question arose as to the likelihood Of a great loss. The present little produc tion Of Bridge End Chapel was decided upon for several reasons First, Bridge End Chapel is situated outside the above-named town ship; secondly, the following pages condescend to chit-chat that would not be tolerated in a more pretentious volume; thirdly, to be a ''means of advertisement and financial test; and finally, to evoke further notes on hipperholme-cum-brighouse.
