Notes from "History, Gazeteer and Directory of Derbyshire" by Samuel Bagshaw:
Chapel-en-le-Frith: A Lock-up Prison was erected, at the cost of £550, in 1845, defrayed from the county rate; Dennis RANGELEY is Superintendent.

The Workhouse:
from homepages.nildram.co.uk/~bmdent/nl08.pdf (New Mills Local History Society Newsletter 08. Spring 1992).
"Since the provision of a Workhouse was therefore a requirement of the new Act a sub-committee was immediately appointed to look into the matter of providing a workhouse centrally situated within the Union. After several attempts a site was found eventually at Low Leighton, a meadow called Park 'with a stone pit in it and adjoining the foot road leading to Low Leighton from New Mills', owned by the Trustees of Priestcliff School. In November 1839 a quotation from Mr. Dennis RANGELEY of £1750 for building the Workhouse was accepted and the Board set about obtaining a loan."
