Bollie   10 #1 Posted July 19, 2017 Hi,  Around 1570, the time when Mary Queen of Scots was housed at Sheffield Castle and Manor Lodge, there was apparently a massive deer park attached to them.  However, the areas the park covered are a bit confusing. Does anyone know, in today's locations, where the park actually was?  Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Runningman   136 #2 Posted July 19, 2017 There is a pamphlet available from the shop at the Manor Lodge.  Google - Sheffield ( Deer ) Park - SHEFFIELD PLACES - NOW GONE There is a load of information from the Sheffield History site.  David Templeman, a Sheffield historian takes occasional guided walks along part of the route of the Deer Park boundary.

Kidorry   188 #4 Posted July 20, 2017 The deer park was one of the largest in England. It covered all Park Hill (hence the name) as far as Handsworth and Darnall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bollie   10 #5 Posted July 20, 2017 Brilliant, thanks folks.  I had read that stretched as far as Handsworth to Gleadless then back to park square roundabout but I thought there's no way it could have been that big!  I'll look up the Sheffield History site now,  Thanks again!
