HENRY BROOKE PARNELL CONGLETON, 1ST Baron (1776-1842), was the second son of Sir John Parnell, Bart.
In 1833, however, he was returned for Dundee; and after being twice re-elected for the same city (1835 and 1837), he was raised to the peerage in 1841 with the title of BaronCongleton of Congleton.
He was succeeded as 2nd baron by his eldest son John Vesey (1805-1883), who in 1829 joined the Plymouth Brethren, and spent his life in enthusiastic religious work.
In the 16th and 17th centuries the leather laces known as "Congleton points" were in high repute; but the principal industry of the town is now the manufacture of silk, which was introduced in 1752 by a Mr Pattison of London.
Congleton (Congulton) is not mentioned in any historical record before the Domesday Survey, when it was held by Hugh, earl of Chester, and rendered geld for one hide.
Congleton suffered severely from the plagues of 1603 and 1641, and by the latter was almost entirely depopulated.
