62. Joseph BARRACLOUGH was born on 7 Aug 1829 in Denby, Yorkshire. He was christened on 11 Oct 1829 in St. John's Church, Denby, Yorkshire. Between 1861 and 1889 he was a Blacksmith in Upper Denby, Yorkshire. Joseph was the last of the Blacksmiths in Denby. He was given the contract for the Denby Dale Pie dish in 1887. The Pie was to be baked in a dish 8 feet in diameter and 2 feet deep. Joseph Barraclough sublet the contract to W. C. Holmes of Huddersfield. The dish was made of sheet and angle iron riveted together and weighed fifteen hundred weight. The Pie was made in an oven and close by it was the boiler supplied by Joseph Barraclough. Queen Victoria had been on the throne for 50 years. She was the longest reigning monarch and was much revered by her people. She reigned over Britain's "golden age"; the time of great change and prosperity and here was another chance to celebrate. It was the middle of summer. However, a large amount of the meat to be used had been exhibited in the village butcher's shop. This was then cut up and cooked in a boiler in batches before being transferred to the pie dish and left to go cold. Freshly cooked hot meat and gravy were then added and uncooked game birds were placed in layers around the inside edge of the dish. To fill the dish 42 tons of potatoes were added under the crust. At midnight on Thursday 25th August the pie entered the oven and was cooked until the Friday at 10am. On Saturday 27th August 1887 many thousands of people swarmed into the Denby Dale intent on having a good time. The pie was paraded around from 11.30am until 3.30pm when Mr H.J. Brierley sliced into the crust. A nauseating stench filled the air. The pie was interred in quicklime in Toby Wood on Sunday 28th August 1887.
The following weekend, on 3rd September, the ladies of the village cooked 1 heifer, 2 calves, 2 sheep and 96 stones of potatoes. The “Resurrection Pie” was a resounding success. He was a supporter of The Rev. Job Johnson, the vicar of Denby Church, and donated 5s when the vicar retired in 1887.

He died about 1889 in Denby, Yorkshire. After his death his buildings and lands were sold to his son-in-law, Harry Heath. He was buried on 14 Nov 1889 in St. John's Church, Denby, Yorkshire.
