Hallfield House

For many years the house was just a small farmhouse belonging to the Greaves family, who were an eminent dynasty throughout South Yorkshire.

The Greaves probably became owners of Hallfield in 1439 when John Greves junior took possession and they held the property for several generations.

It is thought that these alterations were carried out by Nicholas Greaves or his son John and the resulting gabled building was similar in style to Onesacre Hall, 4.5 miles (7.2 km) to the east, which was constructed around the same time.

Hallfield House continued in the ownership of the Wentworth family, subsequently the Marquis of Rockingham and the Earl Fitzwilliam, for the next 250 years.

[3][4] It was later acquired by Sir Hugh Sykes, the Sheffield businessman, who subsequently sold it to the Duckenfield family in 2007.
