| AdminHistory | The Wilson family of Broomhead Hall in Sheffield date back to the reign of Richard II (1367 - 1400). The first Wilson to settle at Broomhead was a John Wilson in the early to mid 15th century. The family married into various other prominent families including the Macros and the Rimingtons. Members of the family were involved in many different trades. One was involved in the Civil War while another later desendant played cricket for Yorkshire.
Broomhead (or Bromhead or le Bromyheaved as it appears at various points in time) was an ancient freehold estate within the Manor of Sheffield. It was in the Chapelry of Bradfield in the parish of Ecclesfield.
These papers were donated to Sheffield Archives by members of the Wilson family in 1990 and 2007. |
