Abstract: |
The site consists of a rectangular plot of land (0.26 Ha) overlooking the canal and the River Don. The PDA has been traced to the 18th century and where it occupied the site of a large building, which probably related to the home of the Savile family. Because of the hall's position it was affected by the course of Mexborough's new canal cut and was demolished c.1834. Some of the halls' building fabric was re-used within the 'new' parsonage which was built close but on higher ground. The Savile family sold the 'Old Hall' at Mexborough, probably towards the end of the 17th century. Certainly by 1633 the church owned the land where it formed part of the Church's Glebe (lands). In the 20th century the PDA was developed as a tennis court and then late in the 20th century the council built a block of flats across it's northern half. During the late 19th century artefacts and structures from the area of the former home of the Savile family were revealed during excavation of the main sewer. These remains were located across the southern half of the PDA adjacent to the canal. |
