Carbrook Hall

[1] This was rebuilt in 1462, and was bought by Thomas Bright (Lord of the manor of Ecclesall) in the late 16th century.

[2] His descendant, John Bright, was an active Parliamentarian during the English Civil War, and the building was used as a Roundhead meeting place during the siege of Sheffield Castle.

[1] The Bright family continued to play a prominent role in Sheffield, however, by the end of the eighteenth century the gentry line had died out.

Writing in 1819 Joseph Hunter, a minister and antiquarian from Sheffield wrote "the hall at Carbrook...has been deserted by its owners for more than a century but still retains traces of its former consequence".

[3] Most of the building was demolished in the 19th century, what survives is a Grade II* listed stone wing that was added c. 1620.
