GracieMae   10 #27 Posted May 29, 2009 Hi guys... I've never lived in sheffield, I am a Manchester gal but my uncle Wilf (Richardson) lived in Stand House on Manor Lane and according to my dad, Wilf bought the methodist chapel and he remembers it as being right next door to the Manor Castle Pub. That may be a little help to you, I don't know.  Uncle Wilf's son was Andrew Richardson and I would love to contact him as we lost touch throughout the years, if anyone can help I would be grateful  Jacqueline (nee Richardson) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
kingfisher   10 #28 Posted May 29, 2009 Can anyone tell me if i am right in thinking that there used to be a tennis court along side the Weslyan church? i have a vague memory that there was one at the Manor Lane side of the church,also did the Cowlishaws live at the house at top of Manor Park Cresent and facing the Castle ruins,i seem to remember my mother telling me they went to live there when the old farm house was demolished to make way for Standhouse School Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
K Seavill   10 #29 Posted May 31, 2009 ... my uncle Wilf (Richardson) lived in Stand House on Manor Lane and according to my dad, Wilf bought the methodist chapel and he remembers it as being right next door to the Manor Castle Pub...  Presumably this was the first Manor Chapel in the grounds of the Manor and not the second one on Manor Park Crescent ?  Very interesting, I did not know it had been sold on. Do you know what your Uncle Wilf used it for ?  Regards,  Katherine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Clik32 Â Â 10 #31 Posted May 31, 2009 I remember Andrew Richardson very well, I remember as a little girl thinking HE was God! I don't know why! He played a guitar I think, was such a nice man and I saw him not long ago at Manor Castle open day. He lives somewhere out of Sheffield now but I will try and see if I can get hold of him for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
K Seavill   10 #32 Posted May 31, 2009 I think he demolished it and built housing, he built all those new houses as far as I know.  This must have been the second manor chapel then. Thanks for the info. Hope you manage to trace your reletive.  Katherine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mcc1973 Â Â 10 #34 Posted July 31, 2009 Hi everyone, I have been doing a bit of family research and some time ago I came across a William Cardwell who is listed in a census as being the head of household of nunnery farm, sheffield park. I cannot remember the exact year of the census but I belive it was around the 1840-1870 period. There is a refrence to a 'Mr Cardwell' of nunery farm beng blown off a haystack in the hurricane of 1873. I belive that William may be my great, great, great grandad. Unfortunatly I cannot remember where I saw this and was wondering if anybody had heard of this person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
KOGDEN Â Â 10 #35 Posted April 8, 2011 Hi everyone related to the Cowlishaws. I am the late Harry Cowlishaw's grand-daughter. He traced our family history back to the 1500's and we were related to Praying William also. My Grandad used to live on Nunnery Farm when he was a boy and yes the Parkway was built over it in the 60's. I would be really interested to hear of any other people that were also related to the Cowlishaws. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
