Norton Hall farm.

Does any remember the name of the farm that was in the grounds of Norton Hall. I can recall the fields, which are now part of Graves Park animal sanctuary, being used to graze cattle.

I have not seen Sheffield for many years so can't remember the location of a farm but would Norton Grange have been the farm, I believe that the word Grange was often used for outlying farms. The farmland does seem to be on that side of the hall with the parkland to the west.

 

Wikipedia says " In 1929, 43 acres of land previously occupied by tenant farmers was purchased "

Here is a map published in 1924 I don't know whether this helps-

Thank you for the info, boginspro. I've found it very useful.
