Blind Peter Barker
Remembering Hampsthwaite’s Blind Joiner - an article by Shaun WilsonLike the market town of Knaresborough, who had ‘Blind Jack’ – John Metcalf, the road builder of Yorkshire in the eighteenth century, the small rural village of Hampsthwaite had it’s blind hero also, almost a century later – Peter Barker who became known as ‘The Blind Joiner of Hampsthwaite.’ Though there are some similarities between John Metcalf and Peter Barker’s lives, these are purely co-incidental and each fulfilled a life, character and career in their own right.

BARKER Family History

Descendants of John and Grace Barker
by
Shaun L Wilson – February 2017

Barker families have resided in Hampsthwaite since the early seventeenth century and were extensive in the area during the nineteenth century. From the 1881 England Census for Hampsthwaite taken on 3rd April that year, Barker was the most popular name totalling 57 out of 457 people enumerated – 12.5% of those recorded living in Hampsthwaite at the time of that census.

From the registers of Hampsthwaite parish, Barkers were in existence as early as 1610. The earliest Barker mentioned is John Barker, son of Peter who was baptised on 17th March that year.

Where Hampsthwaite is mentioned in this article it refers to both village and parish. We will never know exactly where the early Barker’s dwelling houses were as they are not recorded in either the parish registers or on the early census returns, but it is assumed that they lived in the village or within the parish. It was not until the England Census of 1911 that full address details were given together with the total number of children born alive to the present marriage of the head of the family.

My interest in the Barker Families of Hampsthwaite is due to one branch of my paternal family line being descended from them. My Grandmother – Ethel Georgina was a Barker until her marriage to Joseph Harold Wilson in 1910.

Research over several years has revealed how extensive the Barker families were in Hampsthwaite during the latter part of the eighteenth, throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth century.

Whilst every effort has been made to state factual information researched to ensure accuracy of this article, some assumptions have been made in the absence of certain facts which are subject to verification. However, where assumptions have been made in these instances the information provided is based on reasonable probability using dates of events – birth, baptism, marriage, death, burial, census returns etc. and peoples ages obtained from authoritative sources. Names and dates shown in brackets are believed to be correct but are subject to checking and verification. Question marks in brackets indicates information not known and to be researched.

Where the number of children is given against couples, this indicates the number of children traced at the time this article was written. The actual number of children they had might well be more than that indicated.

Whilst Barker’s existed in Hampsthwaite as early as 1610, the Barkers from whom I am descended can be traced back to 1763. On 9th May 1763 a ‘John Barker’ married a ‘Grace Flower’ at Nidd Parish Church of St Paul and St Margaret. Both John and Grace were from the parish of Nidd at the time of their marriage but there is no evidence that either of them were born there. However, Grace may have been born at Burton Leonard – baptism record dated 22nd May 1738. Where John was born or who his parents were is not yet known. For the purpose of this article, the Barker family history begins with John. Names annotated in bold lettering are people from whom I am descended.

The first reference to John Barker in the Hampsthwaite Registers appears for the year 1763 in respect of the baptism of his son Charles – ‘Charles son of John Barker mason baptised November 27th’. Subsequent entries in the registers are found for Richard baptised 19th July 1766, Ralph baptised 24th December 1768, Frances baptised 11th May 1771, William baptised 9th October 1774 and Joseph baptised 15th February 1777. John’s occupation is recorded as mason for all entries but there is no reference to the name of the mother. This is a shame because had Grace been named there would be categorical proof that they were the same John and Grace who married in Nidd in 1763.

On the basis that all six of John Barker's children were baptised at Hampsthwaite, it is assumed that after their marriage at Nidd, John and Grace moved to Hampsthwaite possibly to seek work or in connection with John’s occupation as a mason.

The Hampsthwaite registers include a burial entry for the year 1779 for ‘John Barker mason poor aged 50, May 15th. John would therefore have been born in 1729 and is presumed to be John Barker who would have been 34 when he married in 1763 and 48 when his last child was born in 1777. This time line from 1729 to 1779 is realistic for someone to have married and fathered six children within that period.

The were-a-bouts of Grace Barker at the time of John’s death and the date and place of her death, is not yet known.

This history of the Barker families is continually being researched and will be updated from time to time when additional information becomes available. If anyone is aware of any omissions or inaccuracies, or has any information to contribute, please contact the author. E-mail: shaun.wilson555@btinternet.com.

Peter went blind at the age of four, but despite the loss of his sight, in later life took up the trade of Joiner and Cabinet Maker and became known as the ‘Blind Joiner of Hampsthwaite’. He married Mary LUPTON of Felliscliffe at the Registry Office Knaresborough on 24^th December 1845 but was persuaded by the vicar of Hampsthwaite the Reverend Thomas Shann to have a church ceremony and blessing so Peter and Mary married a second time at Hampsthwaite on 25^th January 1846. Peter died on 18^th February 1873 and was buried at Hampsthwaite on 21^st February. His grave is situated to the East side of Hampsthwaite Church and marked with a headstone.

		William Grange author of The History and Topography of Harrogate and the Forest of Knaresborough published in 1871 wrote of Peter: “Passing up the village street, is the cottage of Peter Barker, the blind joiner, a most extraordinary man, who can make almost anything which is made of wood and that in a workmanlike manner. He was born in 1808, and lost his sight when about four years old, by an inflammation of the eyes; since then he has been “. . . . . dark, amid the blaze of noon irrecoverable dark; total eclipse without all hope of day” Though deprived of sight, the spirit of enterprise was strong within him; he joined in the games and plays of older boys with confidence and skill equal to their own, and was, not infrequently, a contriver and ringleader in their petty mischievous pranks. If any one played a practical joke upon the blind boy, he was pretty certain, before long, to have it returned in kind. Having an ear for music, he became a performer on the violin, and, as he grew to manhood, frequented dances and merry-makings all round the country, as a performer on his instrument. From frequenting these jovial assemblies he began to have a love for strong drink, but his moral nature was too strong to be overcome by these temptations. He suddenly formed a determination to abandon the musical profession, as well as the companions with which it had brought him in contact, and beg his bread rather than obtain it in such a manner. The idea entered his mind that he would be a joiner, and he fell to work as a chair maker, succeeding at the first attempt, and since then has followed the occupation of a joiner. He served no apprenticeship, received no instructions or ideas from others, and yet he says, he can make anything that is made of wood, from stackbar up to chest of drawers. The only peculiarity observable in any of his tools is in his foot rule with which he makes his measurements, the lines on which are marked by small pins, in different numbers, at different lengths on his rule. Like all enterprising men of the world, Peter Barker married a wife, by whom he had a son, who was the constant companion of his father, and, to his bitter sorrow, died January 19^th, 1863, at the age of seventeen years. His wife died June 3^rd, 1862, so he is a widower, and an aged relative superintends his domestic affairs. He is tall and athletic in person; ready and quick in conversation; plain straightforward, and honest in the account he gives of himself and his performances. He assumes no superiority over ordinary men on account of the abilities he possesses, but says it was Providence which gave him his talents, and the same Providence has supported him through life. He is held in high estimation by all his neighbours, and, without considering his situation, he appears as happy, cheerful, and comfortable, as any man we ever met with.” Harry Speight author of Nidderdale published in 1906 also included a piece about Peter Barker in his book, Chapter XXVII Hampsthwaite which reads: “But the village smith and the carpenter are survivals from early times, and to this category belongs Peter Barker, who was well known beyond the limits of his native dale as the “blind joiner of Hampsthwaite.” He died in 1873, aged 64, and a neat headstone, raised by his friends, commemorates him in these words: “Though blind from infancy he was skilful as a cabinet maker, a glazier, and a musician, by the sense of touch he searched the scriptures daily. “Jesus took the blind man by the hand. Whereas I was blind I now see.” Barker, it appears, lost his sight from an inflammation when a child, but as he grew up he joined in pranks with other boys and rarely, it is said, met with any mishap. He was taught to play on the violin by a professional named Thorpe, then living at Wreaks, and made such proficiency that he was able in a short while to earn sometimes as much as 10s. a night by fiddling at local feasts and other celebrations. After a little practice, he took to cabinet making as a regular calling, and could make chairs and chests, and in fact almost any article of wood, coffins even not excepted, as well as any man. His measurements were always exact, and his work invariably well fitted and finished. The foot-rule he used was studded with short pins placed at the inch and half-inch, and in numbers to correspond with the measurements. His mechanical gifts were indeed of a very varied character, and I am told he could make the church clock go when no one else could. He used to go to church with a lantern on winter nights to ring the eight o’clock bell (a long-practiced custom at Hampsthwaite, and a relic of the old Forest laws) and the village folk would say, as they spied him trudging along with his lantern, “Here comes blind Peter.” He could find his way about the village unaided, and the same when he went to Knaresborough by rail, the many tortuous and intricate thoroughfares in that old town seeming no impediment to his progress". Peter’s life was recorded in 1868 whilst alive in a booklet, "Memoir of the life of Peter Barker, the blind joiner of Hampsthwaite". After his death in 1873, the booklet was reprinted. In May 1973, the centenary year of Peter’s death, the Yorkshire Life magazine published an article on Blind Peter of Hampsthwaite.
