Sembly Greene

As well as paying rents to the Lord of the Manor of Sheffield, many also owed service, and had to attend an assembly on Sembly Greene, now known as The Wicker, on Easter Tuesday, along with a horse and harness.

In his survey of 1637, John Harrison listed those who had a duty to attend.
