Loxley House is a three storey mansion set in its own grounds to the west of Wadsley. It is currently used as a Royal Navy training ship and is home to the Sheffield sea Cadets. Previously, it was used as a convalescence home. During the late 19th century, it was home to Dr. Henry Payne. After quarrelling with the parson at Wadsley Church, he vowed never to enter the church again to the extent that upon his death in 1895, he was buried in the grounds of the house rather than enter the church even in a coffin. The grounds of the house are currently used as playing fields but the tree planting of the original gardens mostly survives. The construction of the house coincides with the period of enclosure of Loxley Common. It seems likely that the house was constructed on land awarded as part of the enclosure. Legibility of the previous wood pasture of Loxley Common is invisible.
