DORE, pleasantly situated on the borders of Yorkshire, is an
agricultural village, formerly a township of Dronfield, but since
1844 forming with TOTLEY a separate parish, with a station on the
Midland railway, 10 miles north-west from Chesterfield and 5 south-west
from Sheffield, in the North Eastern division of the county, petty
sessional division of Eckington, hundred of Scarsdale, union of Ecclesall
Bierlow, rural deanery of Dronfield, archdeaconry of Derby and diocese
of Southwell. The Dore and Chinley railway, now (1891) in course of
construction for the Midland Railway Company, will pass under Longshaw
moors from Totley brook to near Padley wood by a tunnel 4 miles long,
and thus considerably shorten the distance between Manchester and
Sheffield. The old chapel, a plain square building, erected about
1700, on the site of the ancient chantry of Beauchief, was taken down
on the building of the present
church. Christ Church, erected in 1828, is an edifice of stone in
a plain modern style, consisting of chancel, nave, north porch and
an embattled western tower containing one bell; in 1864 various alterations
took place, and in 1882 a stone pulpit and font were presented, the
interior reseated and windows in the Gothic style inserted: there
are sittings for 300. The registers of baptisms date from 1813, marriages
1844 and burials 1829 : there are also incomplete memoranda of baptisms
from the year 1734, which, as far as possible, have been arranged
and re-copied. The living is a vicarage, gross yearly value £110,
including 48 acres of glebe, with residence, in the gift of the Earl
Fitzwilliam K.G. and held since 1849 by the Rev. John Thomas Foster
Aldred M.A. of Lincoln College, Oxford. The ecclesiastical district of St. John's, ABBEYDALE, was formed January 25, 1878, out of portions of Dore and Norton parishes. The church, built at a cost of £5,000 by the late John Roberts esq. of Abbeydale Park, is an edifice in the Early English style, consisting of chancel, nave, organ chamber, vestry, south porch and an eastern turret containing one bell: all the windows are stained ; two on the north side of the nave are memorials to Sarah, wife of the late John Roberts, founder of the church. d. Nov. 9, 1874, and Reginald, son of Thomas B. Matthews esq. d. Jan. 17, 1883: there are 220 sittings. The living is a vicarage, gross yearly value £161, with residence, arising from endowments of £1,100, contributed by John Roberts esq. £350 by the Duke of Devonshire K.G. and £550 by E. Hall Esq. in the gift of trustees. Here is a Primitive Methodist chapel, erected in 1860, with 80 sittings. The charities amount to £12 yearly for bread and clothing. The Sheffield Licensed Victuallers' Asylum, situated close to the railway station, was erected in 1887-8, and consists of I2 houses. with a large central room. The Duke of Devonshire K.G. P.C. who is lord of the manor, the Duke of Rutland P.C., G.C.B. E. Hall esq. J. Hancock esq. and T. Furniss esq. are principal landowners. The soil is clay; subsoil, various.
