Welcome to the Ecclesfield & District Archives website

The website is part of the Ecclesfield Civil Parish Past & Present Archives Project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The grant is supporting and co-ordinating the development of the archiving project  which is collecting together historical information and also new material to create an archive for the future. This project is hosted by Ecclesfield Civil Parish Council. The website is still in development and new content will be added over the coming months. Should you have a comment about the website or the material it contains, or if you have any new material you think would be of interest which you would like to donate to the Ecclesfield District Archive please contact us via the website's contact page.

Within the website you will find varied collections covering the life and times of the modern Ecclesfield Civil Parish area and the people who lived and worked there. The images and other material which appear on the website have been kindly donated from collections held by Chapeltown & High Green Archive (C&HGA), Ecclesfield Parish Council (EPC), Ecclesfield Conservation & Local History Group (EC&LHG), Grenoside & District Local History Group (G&DLHG), Heritage High Green (HHG), Mountcity Investments (Thorncliffe) and many individuals. The original material remains in the ownership/custodianship of those organisations and individuals.

Material must only be downloaded for personal use, and should not be edited or in any way modified; the source should be fully acknowledged. Any copies of material from the website intended for commercial or other third-party use must have the written permission of the owners before it is reproduced. Please contact Ecclesfield Parish Council in the first instance via the contacts page if there are any images you would like to use for these purposes.
