Hello everyone!

 

I'm doing research on behalf of Tapton Hall about their history for the upcoming Heritage Day events. 

I'm mainly focusing on the Shore/Nightingale Family. Vickers Family and Wilson Family alongside the Masonic history. 

I have most of the information, but thought it was worth asking to see if there was anything I could add!

If anyone has any information about these families, or any personal connection to the Hall then please let me know. Especially looking for photographs, maps or items which could be displayed.

Grade II Listed Tapton Hall, was built in 1855 for Edward Vickers by William Flockton on the site of Tapton Grove, home of the Shore family.

Built by Joseph Badger, the Grove was bought by Sheffield banker William Shore in 1790, who enlarged it. William & his wife Mary, nee Evans, were the Grandparents of the famous Florence Nightingale (Mary was the daughter of Anne Evans nee Nightingale).

William & Mary's son, William Edward Shore on his coming of age, his Gt. Uncle Peter Nightingale's estate at Lea Hurst, Derbyshire, there after he assumed the 'Nightingale' name & Arms. He married Frances Smith in 1818 and had two daughters, Frances Parthenope b.1819 and Florence b.1820.

William Shore died in 1822, and Mary in 1853, after which the Grove was bought by Robert B Mitchell who then sold it on in 1855.
