		Jessop was born in Devonport, Devon in 1745, the son of a shipwright known to leading civil engineer John Smeaton through his work on the Eddystone Lighthouse.
		When his father died, William Jessop was taken on as a pupil by Smeaton (who also acted as Jessop’s guardian), working on various canal schemes in Yorkshire.

	Hardie Family History -
		Interestingly Richard Jessop, in his pedigree, made no effort to go further back than his father, William Jessop, of Rotherham; and the first date he gives is that of the will of his mother, which suggests that the father, as well as the son, had bettered his fortunes by alliance with an heiress.
		The last Jessop owner of Broomhall was Judge William Jessop, his only son James Jessop Lord Darcy died without issue and the Jessop of Broomhall line failed, and the Broomhall property was left to his eldest daughter Barbara and her husband Andrew Wilkinson.
		The Broom Hall family were undoubtably Puritan supporters Francis Jessop - Rector of Treeton - was suspended for is support of the 'dissenters' William Jessop of Broom Hall presented to the vicarage of Sheffield the Rev. Thomas Toller, a well known Puritan divine.

		William Jessop, for whom Telford was working part time as "General Agent" on the Ellesmere canal, has been called the greatest canal engineer of the age.He was also, at that time a partner in the Butterley Iron Works.
		Jessop was faced with the necessity of carrying the Ellesmere across the valley of the River Dee at Froncysyllte.
		In July1795, however, Jessop recommended a cast iron aqueduct be built at a height of 125 feet, approached by a major embankment from the south.

	Thomas Telford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the age of 14 he was apprenticed to a stonemason, and some of his earliest work can still be seen on the bridge across the River Esk in Langholm in the Scottish borders.
		Eminent canal engineer William Jessop oversaw the project, but he left the detailed execution of the project in Telford's hands.
		Most notably (and, again, William Pulteney was influential in his 1801 appointment), Telford devised a master plan to improve communications in the Highlands of Scotland, a massive project that was to last some 20 years.

	Fascinating street
		Of particular interest among the list of partners is William Jessop who, prior to his involvement with the cotton mill, had risen to become one of the country's foremost civil engineers and canal builders.
		In view of Jessop's expertise in canal construction it is tempting to speculate whether part of his involvement with the cotton mill concerned designing or supervising its water-management scheme.
		William Dickinson in his History of Newark, first published in 1806 (p137), mentions that the mill provided employment for many of the town's poorest families, and an official report on Newark's workhouse in 1797 notes that of the 20 child inmates, 10 went out daily to work at the cotton mill.

		When an act for increased powers was obtained in 1809 work began on extending the piers exactly as laid down in Jessop’s report and almost to the limits he proposed.

		The story of the ritual murder of the boy William in 1144 is virtually the first of a long series of such accusations, a series that has not yet come to an end.
		In the specific case of William of Norwich, the evidence, critically sifted leads one to believe that he actually existed and that his body was found after he had died a violent death.
		Now in that year in which we know that William, God's glorious martyr, was slain, it happened that the lot fell upon the Norwich Jews, and all the synagogues in England signified, by letter or by message, their consent that the wickedness should be carried out at Norwich.

		William Jessop was heavily criticised for this choice of route though I doubt many surveyors ever dug beneath the grass to test the type of earth below!
		This would take the canal close to William Jessop's original route which was rejected by Parliament in 1792.
