Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Bateman Collection of Antiquities in the Sheffield Public Museum In the Corporation of Sheffield received on loan from Thos. W. Bateman, Esq., of Middleton Hall, Derbyshire, the collection of Antiquities formed by his father and grandfather, and for many years previously arranged in cases in Lomberdale House, near Youlgreave, Derbyshire, where the collection had been open to the inspection of antiquaries and other visitors interested in it. Both the objects and the cases were removed to the Public Museum in Weston Park, Sheffield, where they remained on loan until 1893, when it was arranged by the Bateman family that the collection should be sold. The objects which had been discovered in the process of barrow digging in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire, under the direction of Mr. Thomas Bateman and his father, Mr. William Bateman, F.S.A., were purchased by the Corporation of Sheffield, and comprise the collection catalogued in the following pages. The extracts given after many of the entries are taken from two works published by Thomas Bateman, those marked Vestiges being Vestiges of the Antiquities of Derbyshire, issued by subscription in 1848, and those quotations marked Diggings are from Ten Years Diggings in Celtic and Saxon Grave Hills in the Counties of Derby, Stafford, and York, from 1848 to 1858, published in 1861. In the former of these volumes Mr. Thomas Bateman describes the excavations made by his father, William Bateman, and co-temporary antiquarians from the year 1759 onwards, concluding with his own labours in the County of Derby up to the year 1847.
