History

During the 13th century, the village featured a hall that stood between Sheffield Lane Top and Shiregreen Lane. The hamlets of Over Hartley and Hartley Brook stood to the north, in the parish of Ecclesfield.[2]

Charters held in the British Museum make several references to Reynaldthorpe, over the period between the 13th and 15th centuries, making reference to a hall, pastures, woodland and crofts. In a charter from 1303 it is clear that the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem in England held lands at Reynaldthorpe. The next mention of the village is in 1412, followed by the 1637 survey of the Manor of Sheffield, in which it is recorded that Margaret Trickett is the occupant of 'Reynaldthorpe Hall, alias Hadfield Farme'.[3]

In 1637, Reynaldthorpe Hall (later Hadfield Farme), along with its outbuildings and adjoining land, was part of the demesne lands of the manor of Sheffield. Prior to 1719, Hadfield Farme became Hadfield House and was occupied by William Hunter (great great grandfather of Antiquarian Joseph Hunter).[4]

In recent years, the hall has been removed, and the village, hall and hamlets are only remembered in local street names including 'Hadfield House Lane' and 'Hartley Brook Road'.[5]
