Historically, the name Glossop refers to the small hamlet that gave its publicize to an ancient parish recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 and subsequently the manor definite by William I of England to William Peverel. A municipal borough was created in 1866, which encompassed less than half of the manor’s territory. The Place now known as Glossop approximates to the villages that used to be called Glossopdale, on the lands of the Duke of Norfolk. Originally a centre of wool processing, Glossop quickly expanded in the late 18th century once it specialised in the production and printing of calico, a rude cotton. It became a mill town once many chapels and churches; its fortunes were tied to the cotton industry.
