Church of St Nicholas

Church of England (Anglican) High Bradfield, Yorkshire, England, UK

A simple two-cell Norman church was built on the spot of the current church in 1109. A bell-tower was added in the 1300s, before the church was rebuilt in Gothic Perpendicular style in the 1480s. After being pillaged in the Reformation and Civil War, the interior was restored something like its original appearance. The sunken vestry originally sheltered visiting priests. A watch house was built at the church gates in 1831 to combat body snatchers. Until 1868, St Nicholas was a chapel of ease in the parish of Ecclesfield St Mary.

St Nicholas's Church at High Bradfield has a good claim to be the prettiest church in South Yorkshire. It dates from 1487 and stands at 260 m above sea level. The village lies beyond the churchyard. Behind and above the church is Bailey Hill. Beyond the churchyard lie spectacular views of the Peaks.

Legend has it that in the middle of the 15th Century, Hulleys were on the side of the Earl of Warwick in the "War of the Roses", helping at first the Yorks and later, when the Earl of Warwick was slighted by Edward, turned and helped Henry. For their services, the Hulleys were allowed the "Crossed Rose-leaves" as their crest, mistaken by later generations as "Crossed Strawberry-leaves".

The fore-fathers of Richard William HULLEY, the 1820 Settler, were for generations expert sword-makers and were employed in making and tempering swords, from the cavalry sabre to the most delicate duelling rapier.

The name of Hulley must be legion in England as evidence by the records of Somerset House, when the deaths of 14 Hulleys were recorded in the year 1848 alone.

Information is available that in 1588, a Colonel Hulley, a County Squire, raised a company of Cheshire Yeomanry during Queen Elizabeth's reign at the time of the Armada scare. In 1920, a descendant of this family, one Jonathan Hulley, was still occupying the ancestral home, the One house up the Buxton Road, Macclesfield, Cheshire.

The names and relevant datum of momentarily unrelated Hulleys, who in many cases bear the family Christian names, are recorded for future reference, if required.

Information found in the Anglican Cathedral, Sheffield, is:-

Samuel Hulley, wife Peggy had children

  • Elizabeth, born 6 March 1782,
  • Thomas, born 29 Sept 1784, and
  • Samuel, 8 October 1787.

Thomas Hulley, wife Hannah - children

  • John, born 1 January 1873 and
  • Elizabeth, born 7 October 1876.

Thomas Hulley, wife Sarah, son

  • Thomas, born 21 November 1790.

Extracts from the Sheffied City Libraries, from the lists of apprentices and Freemen of the Cutlery Company gives:-

Francis Hulley of Cherry Tree Hill, Eccesall District, Sheffield had sons:

  • 1. Thomas apprenticed to Scissorsmith, 1777.
  • 2. Francis apprenticed 1777 and was admitted to the Freedom of the Cutler's Company, 1794. The latter had a son
    • John, apprenticed to a razor maker, 1811.
  • 3. Christopher apprenticed to a Scissorsmith 1782, and admitted to Freedom of the Cutler's Company, 1796.

The following was supplied by Reginald Hulley of Sheffield, and at present unattached to our group.

John Hulley of Sheffield, born 1848 and had children:

  • a) Richard, born 1899
  • b) Reginald, born 1901
  • c) John, born 1903
  • d) William Leslie, born 1906
  • e) Cyril, born 1909

From letters in my possession, one establishes that Richard William HULLEY, the 1820 Settler, had a brother Joseph - a Cutlerer by trade - of Kimberworth Top, Rotheram, Sheffield.

General Notes:

Various documents contributed to this compilation of Family History. Gedcomm files from John Perfect - many of his sources are listed in individual notes - formed the basis for this compilation.

Margaret Peverett posted me a document with the Name "Mrs SH Hulley" written on the cover and quoting it as being the 5th edition 1956 by FE Hulley.

I have used this information, added new information and corrected that which I knew to be inaccurate or missing.

anyone can contact me to add new information or correct anything that might be inaccurate.
