duckweed Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 This lovely old farm has been marked for re-development. I know from my research it was definitely in existence in the 16th century. I have heard it has been confirmed that there are medieval structures within the buildings. Please help get this farm listed before another medieval building is lost in Sheffield.

duckweed Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 It is left of the top of Derbyshire Lane on the Hemsworth Road by Graves Park. It is at present labled the Dairy and is used by adults with learning difficulties who make garden furniture there and various other crafts as well as run a cafe. Until very recently it was still a dairy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckweed Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I am working on it. I now know that neighbouring Sheepshill farm which was later included into Cowmouth was in posession of the Blythes of Bishops House in the late 16th century, but as yet don't know who farmed Cowmouth as haven't found it mentioned as such earlier than a baptismal record for 1584. The problem being that it is often lumped in as Boleshill. (Boleshill farm used to be part of Graves Park but was sold off.) I have a lot of field names now which may help. I was always convinced that Cowmouth was at least as early as 1500s. Seems like I may be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I don't claim to know anything about the subject; stuff just posted as I found it. It might be nice to see a list, in date order, of what information you have; if that would be possible please. It might just give me and others a nudge to other names, places, dates. Thank you.
