Guest galena Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Does anybody have any information on Loxley House, Normondale Cottage and Mount Pleasant recorded in District 14 of the Ecclesfiled Census of 1841? Were they destroyed in the Sheffield Flood? I have been tracing a family of tailors by the name of Booth in Ecclesfield certainly since the 18th century.

Guest galena Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Think this is the page you are looking for Thanks for the images Huthwaite. Do you or does anyone else have any additionl information please? The names do not appear, as far as I can see, on the Godfrey map (Sheffield Loxley Valley) of 1902 nor can I find any detailed reference to these places in the online sites to the Sheffield Flood.

Guest tsavo Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Loxley House was far too high up the valley to have been affected by the flood. At least that was my impression as a Sea Cadet in the 1950s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Godfrey Edition of the OS Map for Sheffield (Loxley Valey) of 1902 but it does not appear on this map, hence my assumption re the Sheffiled Flood.

Bayleaf Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Loxley House isn't really 'in' the valley, but situated high on the north side, on the outskirts of Wadsley village and Wadsley Common, hence Tsavo's reply. It was recently converted into flats, and there's a present day photo here There's also a brief note on Wikipedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume that Normondale Cottage no longer exists but has the name Mount Pleasant been retained in the area? Galena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galena Mount Pleasant stood a just a little way up Rodney Hill on the right - off Loxley road, I think it probably escaped the flood of 64. There is now a house in about the same position but can't tell from Google maps how old it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gramps Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well I made a right mess of that !! - a bad case of senior momentitis Anyway galena here are the maps you're looking for. The top one shows the position of Loxley House and Norman Dale cottage, the lower one shows Mount Pleasant, not as I said on Rodney Hill, but on the corner of Loxley road and Studfield Hill. Maps are 1850 or thereabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galena Don't know if this is any help to anyone, you probably know all about it anyway. "By 1865 an eccentric doctor called Henry Payne was living in Loxley House. His cure for all ailments was a hot blanket over the affected part. He quarrelled with the local parson and vowed never to go to the church again, but the parson reminded him he would be carried in at the end of his days, head first, in a coffin. But the determined doctor left instructions that he was to be buried on his own estate, which included Wadsley and Loxley Commons, without a church ceremony, his wishes being duly carried out in 1895. He even marked the spot where he was to be buried with a stone, stating he wanted to be placed within a Brick Vault in the plantation adjoining Loxley House. It should be covered with earth to avoid recognition. He even stipulated who should make his coffin and of what wood. He also named the gravediggers and the fee they were to receive. The house and estate passed to his nephew Thomas Philips and later Alderman William Clegg also took up residence and then also William Bush. Then during the First World War two of Dr. Payne's spinster nieces moved in and in 1919 the Cripples Aid Association bought the building for a convalescent home. Later it became the headquarters of the Sheffield Sea Cadets. It was put up for sale in 1996 and is a Listed Grade II building." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
