Point A: Market Cross 10 mins
Background Information
When Samuel Greg first came to Styal in 1783, the village was a small hamlet which consisted of a few thatched
cottages and farmsteads. The inhabitants of these properties made their living digging and selling peat, a
source of fuel. By the late 16th Century, Styal was a thriving agricultural community and a cattle market was
established in the village. You are stood next to the restored Market Cross.
However, by the 18th century their methods of farming were far behind those elsewhere in the country, which was
said to be the reason behind the decline in prosperity of the site. The villagers were thought to have been entirely
self-sufficient with regards to food as Styal at this time was fairly isolated, not lying on any of the turnpike roads to
Stockport or Manchester. In the late 18th century there were no shops although there was a large bread oven at
Tudor cottage suggesting a community bread oven. Purchases could be made in Wilmslow, a growing town. To
supplement their income, residents began to take on extra work they could do in their homes, the putting out
system. They made silk and mohair buttons for the Silk Industry in Macclesfield and when this industry declined
began to spin jersey, a mixture of cotton and wool to support the growing Yorkshire woollen industry alongside their
agricultural work.
Samuel Greg chose to build his Mill in Styal as the surrounding areas offered him everything he needed, principally
the source of water, apart from a local workforce. He leased the land from the Earl of Stamford (Dunham Massey).
By recognising he could convert the original buildings of the village and create many new cottages, Greg overcame
this problem and was able to provide housing for his workers. Early millworkers were single men and women who
took lodgings in the surrounding villages.
Teacher Prompt Pupil Responses
Why did Samuel Greg need to develop the
village?
To house his imported workforce so he was able to expand his
business.
To ensure a constant source of income.
To enable the expansion of his business.
Why was Styal a good place to build? The land was cheap to rent.
There were existing buildings he could adapt and refurbish
quickly.
Jobs were scarce and many people were willing to travel to find
work.
He could build quality accommodation to attract workers from all
over the country.
The water source to power the mill
Readily available building materials.
FAST TRACK: Market Cross
- Styal began as a small farming hamlet where
residents made a living digging and selling peat
and traded cattle.
- By the 18th Century, their farming methods were
outdated. To supplement their income they
started spinning jersey threads, a mixture of
cotton and wool in their homes to sell.
- When Samuel Greg came to Styal in 1783, he
recognised that by converting the original
buildings in the village he could provide
accommodation for his workers, creating a local
workforce for his Mill.
Teacher Prompt Pupil Responses
Why did Norcliffe Chapel originally owe
its allegiance to the Baptist faith?
Unitarianism was still illegal in Britain.
Samuel Greg did not favour Methodism so appointed the
Baptist Minister Reverend Henry Halford Jones instead. This
decision was favoured by both the Greg family and the
residents of Styal as the villagers were both Baptists and
Methodists.
How do we know religion was important
to those that lived in the Village?
They later campaigned to receive a Methodist Chapel and so
had two churches in such a small village.
Some Villagers walked to attend church services in Wilmslow.
Point B: Norcliffe Chapel 5 mins
Background Information
Norcliffe Chapel was first opened in 1823 initially with a Baptist minister even though Samuel and Hannah Greg
were Presbyterian and Unitarian respectively. Hannah would have been keen to promote Unitarianism in order to
improve the moral welfare of her husband’s workforce, however Unitarianism did not become legal until 1813.
The 1802 Health and Morals of Apprentices Act obliged factory owners to provide religious instruction. However
before this Act the Apprentices visited the Anglican church in Wilmslow every Sunday walking along the ‘Apprentice
walk’
In 1833, Robert Hyde Greg appointed Norcliffe Chapel’s first Unitarian Minister, who also taught the Greg children,
and from then on the chapel became firmly established as a Unitarian place of worship. The villagers did not
have to attend this church, some residents choosing instead to walk to the C of E church in Wilmslow, however the
Greg family used the buildings to provide education for adults, Christmas parties for the children and various other
activities throughout the year.
FAST TRACK: Norcliffe Chapel
- Norcliffe Chapel first opened in 1823
with a Baptist Minister appointed by
Samuel Greg.
- In 1833, Robert Hyde Greg appointed
the first Unitarian Minister. From this
appointment onwards, Norcliffe Chapel
was firmly established as Unitarian.
- Some Styal residents walked to the
church in Wilmslow as they did not have
to go to church in the village.
-The Apprentices went to church in
Wilmslow.
- The Greg family put on various activi-
ties in the Church buildings, such as
education for adults and Christmas
parties.
What is Unitarianism?
Unitarianism is a non-conformist religion. It appealed to Liberal intellectuals and religious free-thinkers. Unitarianism
was illegal until 1815 and its members were not allowed to enter the professions eg. law, teaching, university,
Point C: Oak School 5 mins
Teacher Prompt Pupil Responses
Why did Hannah Greg build Oak
School?
In response to families in the Village asking for education for
their children, like those living in the Apprentice House.
It is in line with her Unitarian beliefs that a happy and learned
workforce is of more use, more productive and less likely to
cause trouble.
When did the children of the Village go
to school?
Young children went during the day and older children in the
evening. Apprentices would have continued to be taught in the
Apprentice House.
It was the job of the Mill Manager to ensure all children
attended lessons.
What is a ‘half-timer’? The nickname given to the children in the late 19th century as
they had to split their time evenly between school and work.
Background Information
Hannah Greg was a ’forthright and capable
person’ with strong social, educational, moral and
religious views. She was highly influenced by the
outlook of the early Unitarians and it is clear that she
tried to put her beliefs into practice in her
involvement with her husband’s business. It seems
she took personal responsibility for the education
and welfare of the millworkers. Long before
education for children became compulsory, the Greg
family were providing basic schooling for the
Apprentices, in which the children were taught to
read and write.
Oak School was built in 1823 in response to the
demand from families living in the village for an
education for their children, like those living in the
Apprentice House. Samuel was happy to hand the
social concerns to his wife. The cost of building and
equipping the school is found in Hannah's personal
accounts. Young children attended during the
day and older ones at night. Apprentices would
have continued to have been taught in the
Apprentice House. In 1833, education was made
compulsory for children aged 9-13 and it was the job
of the Mill Manager to ensure each child attended
school. Some parents did not favour this and tried to
keep their children working in the Mill to earn extra
money for the family. In the Late 19th Century,
children became ‘half-timers’ spending four hours at
school and four hours at work.
FAST TRACK: Oak School
- Before it was compulsory to do so, the Greg family were
providing schooling for their Apprentices.
- Oak School was built in 1823 funded entirely from money
provided by Hannah Greg to educate the children of the
Village.
- Young children studied during the day and older children in
the evening until 1833 when education became compulsory
for those aged 9-13. Eventually children became ‘half-
timers’.
- In 1826 adult male workers formed the ‘Mutual
Improvement Society’ to educate themselves.
In 1826 a Saturday night meeting for male adult workers was established which developed into the ‘Mutual
Improvement Society’. This society fitted in nicely with the self-improvement ethic of Unitarianism to which the Greg
family subscribed. Education made it possible for the Greg family to promote from within, employing former
apprentices as Mill Managers.
Please do not walk up to the entrance of the
school as it may distract current students.
Background Information
The Shop was built and opened in 1823 and occupies part of Oak Cottages. It was originally intended to supply
the needs of millworkers, but gradually came to be used by others in the district.
Styal Shop was first owned by Samuel Greg and operated under the ‘Truck’ system, whereby his employees would
have the cost of those items deducted from their wages every week. The ‘Truck’ system was highly criticised at
the time as many employers exploited their staff by marketing goods at extremely inflated prices and selling
adulterated products. However, there does not appear to have been any exploitation of the workers living in
Styal as when the shop came under the management of Greg’s employees in 1831, records suggest the price of
goods did not alter very much at all. Indeed, Samuel Greg showed his eagerness to help his employees through
difficult financial periods by lending money which was repaid out of their wages each week. Workers were free to
spend the rest of their earnings elsewhere.
The Shop sold butter churned at the Apprentice House and meat, such as pork, beef and mutton, from Oak Farm.
They sold other basic foodstuffs such as flour, meal, potatoes, bacon, milk and cheese. Vegetables were also sold,
but many villagers would have grown their own in their allotments.
In the 1830s, the demand for household goods such as chairs, bedsteads,‘peggy-tubs’ and cooking utensils
increased which suggests an upsurge in prosperity throughout the village. Greater spending power is also indicated
through the increase in purchasing of clothes and shoes, whereas in the poorer trade period of 1825-6 clogs and
patens were more popular. There was also a rise in luxuries like hosiery and handkerchiefs at Christmas and
Easter.
FAST TRACK: Styal Shop
- Built and opened in 1823 and first operated under the
‘Truck’ system.
- Workers would have the value of goods they have
purchased from the shop taken out of their wages.
- In 1831 after the Truck Act, the shop came under the
management of the employees.
- It seems certain that there was no exploitation of the
workers living in Styal through the ‘Truck’ system.
- The demand for household goods, clothing and shoes
to be sold in the shop indicates prosperity in the Village
during the 1830s.
Teacher Prompt Pupil Responses
What is the ‘Truck’ system? A system used by many employers at the time in which workers
would be paid with currency substitutes, such as vouchers.
Why was the ‘Truck’ system criticised? In other workplaces, employers would exploit their workers by sell-
ing goods at inflated prices. As their workers were paid in currency
substitutes, employers knew their workers had no choice but to
buy their items at an inflated cost, creating more profit for the own-
er.
Did Samuel Greg exploit his workers
through the ‘Truck’ system in Styal?
There are no records to show that there was any exploitation at
Styal Shop. Samuel Greg showed his eagerness to help his work-
ers through tough financial situations by lending money to be de-
ducted from his employee’s wages each week.
Workers were free to spend the rest of their earnings elsewhere.
Point C: Styal Shop 5 mins
Point D: The Cottages 10 mins
Teacher Prompt Pupil Responses
What would the living conditions be for the
workers if they were living in a city?
Whole streets of families would share a water pump and a privy
which led to the rapid spread of disease because of large
numbers of people sharing.
In cities, one family would share one room of a house, meaning it
was very overcrowded.
How was the standard of living different
here for the millworkers as opposed to
living in cities such as Manchester?
Fresh air, countryside.
Hygiene: Each house had a privy and a water pump used by a
small number of people.
The number of people living in these cottages was considerably
less, on average around 6-7 people per house.
FAST TRACK: The Cottages
- Living conditions here were
significantly better than if the workers
lived in a city. Each house had an
average of 6-7 inhabitants and had its
own water pump and privy, meaning
there was less likelihood of the
spread of disease.
- It was unusual for workers to have
such a high standard of living,
however it did mean they were
beholden to the Greg family. If they
lost their job; they lost their house.
- Samuel Greg converted the existing
buildings in the village before
constructing purpose-built cottages.
- Oak Cottages: Each house consists
of two rooms on each of the two
floors, an allotment, a privy and some
have cellars which could be rented.
- Weavers Cottages: Had an
additional floor which could house
looms if extra weaving was required
to supplement that made in the Mill.
Background Information
When he first arrived in Styal, the local population was sparse. His
workforce initially lived in the surrounding area but as married couples
moved into the area the need for accommodation increased. Samuel Greg
converted the original farm buildings, such as Farm Fold, Shaws Fold and
Cruck Cottage, into smaller cottages between 1790 and 1800. As far as he
could, Samuel Greg used local resources as building materials and paid
boys from the Apprentice House to work as labourers after factory hours.
Most of the new building occurred in the 1820’s. Oak Cottages, two sets of
a double row of houses containing 27 dwellings, were built from 1822. Each
consisted of two rooms on each of the two floors, an allotment, an outdoor
privy. At this time, having your own privy was the pinnacle of success,
elsewhere millworkers would have been sharing with whole streets of
families which could cause the rapid spread of disease. In addition, some
cottages have cellars which families could rent out to earn some extra
money. On average, there were 6-7 inhabitants in each cottage,
considerably less than if they were to live in a city where one family could
be living in one room. Salaries were lower for Styal villagers but in
return their standard of living was higher.
The Weavers’ Cottages behind Styal Shop consist of an additional floor
which could be adapted to house looms if any extra weaving was
required to supplement the cloth woven in the Mill. This is an example of
how the workers benefitted from better living conditions, but were beholden
to the Greg family. If you lost your job; you lost your house.

Point E: Methodist Chapel 5 mins
Teacher Prompt Pupil Responses
Why did Robert Hyde Greg give the
Methodists permission to have their own
chapel?
He was receiving an increased amount of pressure by The
Methodists, who were strongly opposed to Norcliffe Chapel
establishing its allegiance with the Unitarian movement.
To accommodate another religion in the village.
What did the Methodist villagers do to
pressurise the Greg family into allowing
them to have a Methodist Chapel?
Field preaching and house meetings.
Campaigning.
One cellar in the village used for Methodist services.
What was the Methodist Church
originally?
The corn store of Farm Fold.
Why was it important for the village to
have the two chapels?
To promote a sense of community.
It gave all residents the opportunity to become more educated
and sociable.
Background Information
In 1833, there was a strong Methodist reaction to the decision by Robert Hyde Greg to establish Norcliffe Chapel
as a Unitarian place of worship. The Methodist villagers used one of the cellars of Oak Cottages for Methodist
services and there was an increase in house meetings and field preaching.
After four years of campaigning, in 1837, Robert Hyde Greg gave permission for the conversion of the corn store in
Farm Fold into a Methodist Chapel to accommodate the differing religions in the village.
Alongside services, the Methodist Chapel hosted social evenings which could include music, dancing and crafts.
Adults could attend classes in the evenings to gain a basic education. Both the Methodist Chapel and Norcliffe
Chapel formed an important foundation for village life in Styal, in particular the social and educational activities they
could generate.
This building still serves as a Methodist Chapel today.
The chapel sits in the oldest part of the village. It is surrounded by the original farming cottages and barns that were
converted for the workers. Some of the cottages date back to the late 15th century.
FAST TRACK: Methodist Chapel
- When Norcliffe Chapel became established as part of
the Unitarian movement in 1833, the Methodists
reacted by campaigning and increasing the pressure
on Robert Hyde Greg to give them permission to have
their own chapel in the village.
- In 1837, they were allowed to convert the corn store
of Farm Fold into a chapel.
- The Methodist Chapel hosted social evening and
events which could include music, dancing and crafts.
- The non-conformist chapels and their congregations
formed an important foundation for village life in Styal,
in particular the social and educational activities they
could generate.
‘Why Styal?’
Teacher Prompt Pupil Responses
What would have affected the year in which
Samuel Greg built his Mill here?
Technological Developments: In 1783 patents of
Arkwright’s water frame (a spinning machine)
expired making machinery cheaper to buy.
End of the American War of Independence in
1783: This opened up the supply of cotton and
opened up the market for goods.
What were the three main reasons for Samuel
Greg choosing Styal?
River Bollin: Water power was the cutting edge
technology of early Industrial Revolution. Greg
needed a river to install a water wheel which would
power the machines in the Mill.
Cheap Land with the Possibility of Expansion:
Land in Styal was cheaper and plentiful as it was
not suitable for farming. Water rights were cheaper
here too.
Location/Transport links: Access to Liverpool
Docks and close to Manchester - the commercial
centre of the cotton industry. Manchester was also
known as ‘Cottonopolis’. Cotton was transported to
Quarry Bank via the Bridgewater Canal from
Liverpool.
What other factors contributed to Samuel Greg
choosing Styal?
Building materials: The site contains it’s own
building materials. Quarry for stone, clay soil for
bricks and river stones for cobbles.
Business links: Greg had contacts from the
Unitarian Society and his marriage to Hannah in
1789. He had inherited a successful business in
Manchester and had a lot of experience.
What didn’t Styal offer to Samuel Greg? A Local Workforce: The number of workers was
limited by how isolated the area was. The first
workers at Quarry Bank rented rooms in nearby
villages.
How did he overcome this problem? Converting existing buildings and constructing
new accommodation for his workers.
The primary aim of ‘Why Styal?’ is for students to understand and discuss in more detail the factors
which contributed to Samuel Greg’s decision to build his Mill on this site.
A worksheet for students to record responses from any of the prompts can be found overleaf.
