| tempus275 Quote | Reply | | "Langley town clock" posted on: 2/10/2007 12:35:15 PM I've found a referance in the transcription of the Heanor Parish magazines : "A Public Tea will be held at Langley School on April 22nd in order to raise funds to put the Langley 'Town Clock' in working order. The matter is being well taken up by Langley people generally." This was from the March issue 1890. I don't think I've ever seen a referance to there being a clock in Langley, and can't say that I've ever seen one in Langley. Did they never manage to raise enough money to fix it? Anyone know where is was / is? |

replied on: 2/10/2007 1:26:19 PM St Andrews was built about 1911 so it would be too late, and that part of the magazine was definatly for Langley rather the the Langley Mill mission area (not a parish at the time?) |

replied on: 2/10/2007 2:15:40 PM Tempus, I will have a look for the “Langley Clock” in the papers next time I go to the library. I'm sure if you put dates or events on the site one of us will find them Jenny |

The following formed the Committee: Miss Corfield, Mrs. Gregory, Miss Holbrook, Miss Browne, Miss Brentnall, Mrs. Raynor, Mrs. Price, Mrs. Beresford, Mrs. Horseley, Mrs. Young, Mrs. Parkin, and Mrs. Wilkinson. Still no referance to where it was though.. |

replied on: 2/10/2007 4:25:49 PM Hmmm... should have read ahead. Aug. 1890 "The clock, which has been set going again, at Langley School, is of great service to the public, and gives a homely aspect to the locality. The friends who so generously contributed and assisted at the Tea arranged to defray the expenses incurred for repairs, ice., deserve our gratitude and thanks." Don't think I've ever seen a clock on one of the schools though? |

replied on: 2/10/2007 11:32:25 PM What about the school on Laceyfields Road - being near the pit, the clock would have been very handy there. If ever the subject of the Langley Mill public clock comes up (and there is a separate thread to that somewhere), I have a transcript of all the Committee's minutes. |

replied on: 2/11/2007 6:06:19 PM Nope, definatly refers to Langley. The magazines are quite specifically seperated into : Notes on 'Heanor' news Parish church news Marpool news Langley News Langley Mill and aldercar. The magazine makes it quite clear that it is refering to Langley as a mission area (mission church not a parish) compared to Langley Mill and Aldercar which were a seperate mission area (Aldercar & Langley Mill classed as one area) Dont think there are any churched that are close enough to the the border to case a confusion between them. |

replied on: 2/11/2007 8:06:44 PM This is part of the report for 1896 there's no Langley? ANNUAL PARISH GATHERING AT HEANOR 20th Nov 1896 On Thursday evening last this annual parish church gathering took place in the Town Hall, Heanor, when there was a crowded audience. The Rev. C. E. L. Corfield occupied the chair and was supported on the platform by the Rev. W. B. Dearden (Shipley), Rev. E. M. Robinson (Smalley), Rev. J. J. Cross, Rev. H.H. Prior, Rev. J. Thompson, Lieut Col F. C. Corfield, Mr R. H. Robinson, Cc; Mr J. Holbrook and Mr. E. Eagle (churchwardens), also the churchwardens from Marlpool Church Mission, Aldercar St John’s and Langley Mill Mission Church. Mr Holbrook proposed a vote of thanks to all church worker and as it included eight churchwardens. They had also 16 sides-men and eight at the other churches, making a total of 40. The second part was the choirs. They had four choirs, and during their last choir festival they cleared about £6. Referring to the musical department Mr Holbrook spoke to the great want of a new vestry, which was under the consideration of the churchwardens. Then there were the bell-ringers. Their splendid peal of five bells had been rung during the year, and they were indebted to the ringers. Besides this, there were the large staff of school teaches, and it was gratifying to know that they had saved the rates of the parish. They were now building the seventh block of buildings. They had in addition to these things six schools, 145 teachers, and 1,700 children, and 45 district visitors. The last, but not the least powerful agency with their church, was the guild of St Lawrence, with Miss Corfield as its very energetic secretary. They regarded this work as a little Bank of England, for they had contributed to church funds £52 10s. for repairs etc, to the bells, and another item of £17, all during the year. He had pleasure in moving that the thanks of the meeting to tendered to all those workers, which was seconded by Mr. R. H. Robinson, and carried with enthusiasm. And the new vestry was: (1900 H/O, Heanor new vestry cost of £300, architect was Mr. Curry of Derby, builder Mr. George Oldershaw of Marlpool.) |

replied on: 2/11/2007 11:38:00 PM quote: The phrase "Town Clock" is just that, a phrase. A village like Langley could have a town clock if they clubbed together to buy one - it was very much in vogue at the end of the 19th century, and into the 20th. It is certainly not the Town Clock of Langley Mill which was being referred to, as that was not even thought about until 1912. My money is still on Laceyfields School! |
