Broom Hall

[3] The de Wickersley family descended from Richard FitzTurgis, who co-founded Roche Abbey in South Yorkshire.

[4] In the 16th century Broom Hall came into the possession of the Jessop family after marriage to a Swyft heiress.

An east wing was added in 1784 for the then owner reverend James Wilkinson, vicar of Sheffield.

In 1791, while James Wilkinson was still the owner, a mob rioting against the Enclosure of land act attacked the house and set it on fire.

[5] The house was divided into three in the 19th century but was restored as the home and workshop of the cutlery designer David Mellor from 1973 to 1990.
