James Hounsfield - Hackenthorpe Hall

[natonstan 10]

Does anybody have any information on James Hounsfield, the rich land owner that built Hackenthorpe Hall and also the Christ Church at the end of Sheffield Road.

 

I came across this photo of him on the Picture Sheffield website:

I can't seem to find where he was buried

Just looking at public records, James Hounsfield died aged 88 in 1902 and his son James Jermyn Hounsfield continued to live at Hackenthorpe Hall - here is a link to a scan of the 1911 census page.

Interestingly, James Jermyn's son - Nigel James Jermyn Hounsfield in on the 1939 register still living with his mother Sophia at Hackenthorpe Hall. He is down as incapacitated. Unmarried so perhaps it all ended with him!

Lot's of interesting replies, that's interesting to hear his son may not have had kids! I did actually find out the hall dates back well before James:

 

'Built by John Newbould in 1653 and was the home of Mrs. Hounsfield'

The Hounsfields are buried in Beighton churchyard right outside the entrance to the church.

 

I have about 6 pages of history for the Hounsfields including a family tree if you are interested. Too much to post here.

I am researching a book on the 1939 first-class cricket season and have come across Thomas Douglas Hounsfield born 29 April 1910 and who, according to Wikipedia, was born at Hackenthorpe Farm. Has anyone any information on this member of the family …. ????

I have found Thomas Douglas Hounsfield living on the farm in 1939. He then seems to move around - he died in Richmond Surrey 8 Feb 1994.
