Carbrook Hall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carbrook Hall is a historic house in Sheffield, England. Located at 53°24′20″N, 1°25′0″W in the Attercliffe district of the city, the original building was owned by the Blunt family from 1176[1]. This was rebuilt in 1462, and was bought by Thomas Bright (Lord of the manor of Ecclesall) in the late 16th century[2]. His descendant, John Bright, was an active Parliamentarian during the English Civil War, and the building was used as a Roundhead meeting place during the siege of Sheffield Castle[1]. Most of the building was demolished in the 19th century, what survives is a Grade II* listed stone wing that was added c1620[3]. It is now used as a public house that claims to be "Sheffield's most haunted public house"[2].
