Description: | 4 Jacks Cabin On The Kinder Plateau At The Top Of Grindsbrook 6th January 1977 (More accurate information on 4 Jacks Cabin than the bottom paragraph) The first cabin on the site was built around 1870 by Micah Tym known as Mike who was for many years gardener for the Champion family who lived at the big house above the Nags head Inn.The name came about when one day Mike and William Belfitt (Mr. Champion's Gamekeeper) were up at the cabin and Mike had a drop too much ale.He preached to William on the sins of drinking etc. and from then on it was always known as Mikes Church or Chapel. In 1930, the second cabin was built by the 4 Edale Jack; Jack Belfitt, Jack Burdekin, Jack Wright Rowbottom, Jack Tym (75 in 1952). All but Rowbottom were still living in Edale in 1951. In 1944, I met a very old farmer who would be about 67 in 1944.He said that the cabin was built by 4 Edale men all called Jack.This would probably be just after the 1918 war.Jack Tym, Jack Burdekin.He had forgotten the other two.Mr. Tym was born about 1870 and said that Jacks Cabin was built on the top of another cabin which was always known as Mikes Church because it was built by Mr. Tyms father Mike Tym.Presumably, this was before 1870. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ |
