BRADFIELD, a chapelry in the parish of ECCLESFIELD, northern division of the wapentake of STRAFFORTH-and-TICKHILL, West riding of the county of YORK, 6 miles (N.W. by W.) from Sheffield, containing 5298 inhabitants. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry'and diocese of York, endowed with £400 private benefaction, £400 royal bounty, and £1000 parliamentary grant, and in the patronage of the Vicar of Ecclesfield. This chapelry lies in a mountainous part of the county, and is surrounded by uncultivated and barren moors. There is a place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists. Many of the inhabitants are employed in different branches of manufacture connected with the trade at Sheffield. Fairs are held on June 17th and December 9th. An estate, called the Feoffees' estate, produces about £172 per annum, which is chiefly applied in repairing the chapel, and in defraying those local expenses for which a rate is usually imposed. A school at Lower Bradfield is endowed with a house (in which the master resides), a croft, and a garden, besides a rent-charge of £10, for which eighteen children are instructed. There is a school at Bolterstone, endowed with about £40 per annum and a house occupied by the master, chiefly from a bequest by John Hodgkinson, in 1780, for the free instruction of all children within the chapelry. The school at Onesacre has an endowment of about £14 per annum and a re sidence for the master, who teaches sixteen children gratuitously.
