Description:
Looking north-west from front garden.
The Hexgreave Estate has a very long history with the name Hexgreave going back at least seven centuries with the earliest written record being to boscus de Hekkesgrave in 1240. However the history can be traced back much further with Camp Hill in the north east quadrant of the estate believed to have been constructed in Roman times. The camp reputedly extended to some 40 acres and earthworks were visible when in 1941 pottery fragments including remains of Roman pottery were found on the site.The present Hexgreave Hall is estimated to have been built between 1750 and 1760 and substantially altered by the later addition of the present front (east) elevation. The woods around the park may have been first planted towards the end of that century.Once a deer park gifted to the Archbishop of York, in more recent times it has been home to Sir Stuart Goodwin a Sheffield steel magnate and Sir John Eastwood, the man “who fed the nation”.
