ECCLESFIELD: Sheffield Parish #1 of 3

Welcome to SHEFFIELD! "Open land near a Romano-British Christian church". That’s the meaning of this place, or at least one of them that’s believed anyway. An alternative suggestion is that the first element derives from a Saxon personal name or an association with water – and water is found in abundance here. This parish is made up of five principal settlements including Chapeltown, High Green, Burncross and Grenoside and the small hamlet of Whitley. With some 32,073 people living here at the 2011 Census, this is South Yorkshire’s biggest in terms of population The "Minster of the Moors” is a title that could grace any church but here, that’s what this one was known as. It was once the church for the whole of Hallamshire, incorporating the parishes of Sheffield (which incidentally is now based at Sheffield Cathedral) and Bradfield. You’ll find a priory here too along with several old buildings, some coal mining, ironworking and even sandstone workings in its past. This is the parish of Sheffield that gave us the Arctic Monkeys, and it’s also one steeped in railway history too. Way more than I could possibly fit into one episode of TVI, this one spans a huge area of the North Eastern corner of the City of Sheffield. This is the stupendously large and very interesting parish of ECCLESFIELD. **** My name is Andy. I am armed with a car, a GoPro and an unhealthy amount of time on my hands.
