John George Graves (1866–1945) was a successful English entrepreneur and public benefactor.
When he was 8 years old, the family moved to Heckmondwyke, where his father operated a butchers shop.
He then set up one of Britain's first mail order businesses, selling first watches and then a wide range of goods.
In the 1911 census he was living with his wife Lucy and daughter at The Folds, off Abbey Lane, Beauchief, Sheffield.
He also made gifts of land to the city, including Ecclesall Woods, Tinsley playing fields, Concord Park, Blacka Moor and one of the largest plots of land he donated was named after him, Graves Park.
