southside Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 These articles are from the 1792 Sheffield Public Advertiser, one shows a list of subscribers making donations towards the construction of the Infirmary. There's one stand out donator in the list of subscribers, a Mrs Fell, she donated £1000 Can anyone tell me anything about the Fell Family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysanderix Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 The Fells were a local family whose wealth was derived from an iron foundry. They dated back to the 17th century…were responsible for New Hall and, latterly, were philanthropists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
