1880

The house has had many happy days, but today, the morning of Saturday August the 7th, 1880, was not one of them. Edward Bingham, the master of the house, passed away after a long illness. He had reached the respectable age of 72 …

The Sheffield Independent edition of Monday the 9th of August,1880 carried the following announcement:

Deaths

BINGHAM.-Aug, 7, at his residence, Broom grove, Edward Bingham, in the 72nd year of his age.

The same day’s edition of The Sheffield Daily Telegraph carried similar announcements:

The Sheffield Telegraph

MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1880.

We record in another column the death, on Saturday last, of Mr. Edward Bingham of Broomgrove, Sheffield, one of the most unobtrusive, yet one of the most revered of our townsmen. Three years ago, Mr. Bingham was thrown from his horse, and he sustained so much injury from the accident, that he never afterwards wholly recovered.

The “other column” of the same day’s edition of The Sheffield Daily Telegraph stated:

DEATH OF EDWARD BINGHAM, ESQ.

We regret to record the death of Mr. Edward Bingham, which occurred on the morning of Saturday last, at his residence, Broomgrove. Deceased, who was in the 72nd year of his age, sustained a serious accident while out riding three years ago. Near Beauchieff Gate he was thrown violently from his horse, and received an injury to his spine from which he has suffered ever since. The most skilful medical advice was obtained, but he never permanently recovered from the effects of his accident. Eighteen months ago his illness assumed a grave form, and for the last 20 weeks he has been confined to bed and unable to move, and dependant for his comforts on the attentions of the members of his family, who were ever near him, and whose grief at his sufferings caused him more distress than his own pain, which he bore with Christian resignation and fortitude. In his last illness he was attended by Mr. W. Favell, surgeon.
Deceased, who was the son of Mr. John Bingham— a member of a well-known Derbyshire family - was of very retiring habits. He keenly appreciated the pleasures to be found at home with his family and his books. He was so fond of indulging his literary and poetic tastes, that he could not be induced to take part in the turmoil of public life—the only exception we know of being his acceptance of a seat on the weekly board of the General Infirmary, and even there he did not remain for any lengthened period. Out of doors he was usually seen on horseback. No one enjoyed more than he did to ride around the beautiful suburbs of Sheffield, and it was in one of these excursions, as we have indicated, that he met with the accident which caused his last illness. His erect form and fine presence will long be remembered by those who knew him, and his more intimate friends bear testimony to his genial spirit, his enjoyable disposition, and the ready sympathy he had for all who were in trouble, and which caused him to be generous to a fault, though his good works were done so quietly that they were frequently unknown till some collateral circumstances brought them to light. He was a typical Englishman in his indignation when he found the strong oppressing the weak, and at our recent elections this led him, at a time when exposure might have abruptly ended his days, to express a determined desire that he should be carried down from his bedroom to enter his protest, by his vote as an elector, against what he considered Mr. Gladstone's abominable cruelty to the Mohammedans, as well as to express his distrust at the Premier's views in regard to Roman Catholicism. For many years during the incumbency of the Rev. Thomas Best—of anti-theatre crusade fame —Mr. Bingham was a regular attender at St. James’ Church, but in his later years he attached himself to St. Mary's. He is survived by his widow and four children. The remains of deceased will be interred in the family vault at Ecclesall next Wednesday.

The Sheffield Daily Telegraph's publication on Thursday 12th of August, 1880 contained details of Edward's funeral:

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Sheffield Daily Telegraph also published a general note regarding his death:

ROUND THE TOWN

THE death of Mr. Edward Bingham reminds me that his father, Mr. John Bingham, a respected and influential inhabitant of Chesterfield, was requested by his fellow townsmen some fifty years ago to call a vestry meeting to consider the condition of the famous old spire. The people of Chesterfield had got it into their heads that the spire was in peril of toppling over, and it was proposed to pull it down. The meeting, at which Mr. Bingham presided, came to the conclusion that the spire was perfectly safe, and the result has justified their decision, for the crooked spire is to-day, and promises to be for many a day, one of the points of interest to be noted by the traveller as he speeds north or south per Midland Railway.

The England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations) later reported:

BINGHAM Edward.
Personal Estate under £14,000.

19 October. The will with a Codicil of Edward Bingham late of Broom Grove in the Borough of Sheffield in the County of York Gentleman who died 7 August 1880 at Broom Grove was proved at Wakefield by Emma Bingham of Broom Grove Widow with Relict John Edward Bingham of West Lea Ranmoor in the said Borough and Charles Henry Bingham of Brinklands Brincliffe in the said Borough Electro Plate Manufacturers the Sons the Executors.

1886

Monday, March the 22nd, 1886. We are in need of a new housemaid. Emma, the lady of the house, has placed an advertisement in the Yorkshire Post newspaper and this has been published today. We shall see who this brings to us …

The Monday March 22nd, 1886 edition of the Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer publication carried an advertisement that reads:

DOMESTIC SERVANTS WANTED

WANTED, experienced HOUSEMAID; must be good waitress ; references required.-Mrs Bingham, Broomgrove Lodge, Sheffield.

1888

Following the earlier death of our master, Edward Bingham, the lady of the house, Emma, has made a donation to the public hospital in memory of her late husband …

The Sheffield Evening Telegraph published the notification in it’s Wednesday the 7th of March, 1888 edition:

MUNIFICENT GIFT TO THE SHEFFIELD
PUBLIC HOSPITAL.

The Weekly Board of the Sheffield Hospital and Dispensary were greatly gratified to-day at the receipt of a letter from Mrs. Bingham, of Broomgrove Lodge, intimating a generous subscription of £500 to the building fund of that institution. Mrs. Bingham makes the gift in memory of her late husband, and it is her desire that a ward in the new building shall be designated "The Edward Bingham Ward." The Weekly Board expressed their grateful thanks for this handsome contribution to the new building fund, to which will remembered, Dr. Roberts gave fifty guineas some time ago. No doubt the honorary secretary, Mr. G. F. Lockwood, will be pleased to have a shower of similar favours that he and his colleagues might set about utilising to the fullest extent the extensive site they have now at their disposal, and thus still further increase the benefits of the Dispensary and Hospital to the community.

The Sheffield Daily Telegraph published the following comment on Thursday the 8th of March, 1888:

ROUND THE TOWN.

[BY RAMBLER]

THAT is a noble gift of Mrs. Bingham of Broomgrove Lodge - £500 to found an “Edward Bingham Ward“ in the Public Hospital. Can you imagine a truer way than this - to raise a memorial which relives the living while it honours the dead?

The Sheffield Independent publication of Thursday April the 26th, 1888 reports that:

SHEFFIELD PUBLIC HOSPITAL.
A GENEROUS DONATION.

The quarterly meeting of the governors of the Sheffield Public Hospital and Dispensary was held yesterday at the Hospital. There were present Mr. H. Pawson, in the chair, Mr. T. S. Ellin (chairman of the Weekly Board), Dr. Sidney Roberts, Mr. Harry P. Marsh, Mr. Samuel Doncaster,*and Mr. J. W. Robinson (secretary).
The minutes of the Weekly Board for the past quarter, which were read and confirmed, included a letter from Mrs. Edward Bingham, of Broomgrove Lodge, in which she stated that she had long been anxious to see the institution possessed of more adequate buildings. Understanding that at no remote date it was proposed to rebuild or enlarge the dispensary she should have great pleasure in handing to the Weekly Board a cheque for £500 towards that object, upon the understanding that one of the new wards should be called the Edward Bingham Ward, and that pending the erection of the new building one of the present wards should so named. The Weekly Board passed resolution gratefully accepting the generous donation upon the conditions named, and at a subsequent meeting Mrs. Bingham's cheque was received and cordially acknowledged.
The CHAIRMAN said they would all feel that Mrs. Bingham's generosity in presenting this handsome contribution to the Hospital was well worthy of grateful recognition. There was no doubt about it that in time larger and better Hospital accommodation must be provided for that part of the town. Considerable expenditure had been made from time to time in the enlargement of the present structure, and probably it was then thought that what was about to be done would be sufficient, but the town was always increasing, and the necessities of the poor did not diminish. Some day, therefore, they world have to face the raising of a sufficient sum for the proposed new buildings, and in this generous donation they would have a nucleus for their efforts. He had no doubt that when the necessity became apparent the public would liberally respond to the appeal, so as to enable the Hospital to fulfil its engagements.
Mr. T. S. ELLIN seconded the confirmation of the minutes, which was agreed to. There was no other business of public interest.
