Ecclesfield Hall.
This five-bay hall was built as an extension to the Priory in 1736 to provide more commodious accommodation for a farm tenant. It replaced an earlier extension to the priory built in the Tudor period. The hall was the scene of strange accidental deaths in 1859 when the occupier, 80-year old Samuel Greaves, and his 76 year-old wife, Mary, died from the effects of eating monkshood which Mary had picked, it is assumed, thinking that the poisonous roots belonged to an edible vegetable.
