Hallamshire, Sheffield,
During this early period, the name Hallamshire was retained for the Norman lordship. It
was administered from Sheffield Castle, at the confluence of the River Don and the
River Sheaf. A smaller castle was built at High Bradfield.[1] During the 12th century,
William de Lovetot acquired most of the land within the Sheffield area including the
old manors of Hallam, Sheffield, and Attercliffe. He constructed a more substantial
castle in Sheffield, establishing the town as the dominant settlement within
Hallamshire. Sheffield gained a sizeable parish, split from the large parish of
Ecclesfield, and a larger manor which encompassed most of Hallamshire. A charter of
1268 describes Hallamshire as containing just three manors: Ecclesfield, Sheffield and
Bradfield. However, confusion arose later, as Sheffield acquired other manors outside
historic Hallamshire, such as that of Handsworth. [Wikipedia.org]
