Description
Bradfield is one of the largest parishes in England,[2] and covers extensive moor and agricultural land around the Damflask Reservoir, Dale Dike Reservoir (the source of the Great Sheffield Flood of 1864), Strines Reservoir, and Agden Reservoirs, including the Bradfield, Midhope, and Broomhead moors and eastern parts of the Howden moors. The western end of the parish reaches to the upper parts of the Upper Derwent Valley with part of its boundary forming Yorkshire’s border with Derbyshire. The northern part of the parish includes the Langsett Reservoir and Midhope Reservoir, and borders the town and civil parish of Stocksbridge.[3][4]
The eastern edge reaches the western extent of the urban spread of Sheffield, and includes the suburb of Stannington, as well as the villages of Oughtibridge, Wharncliffe Side, and Worrall. Minor habitations within the parish include Midhopestones, Upper Midhope and Bolsterstone on the northern edge, and Dungworth in the southeastern part.[3][4] The moorland villages of High Bradfield and Low Bradfield are located within the parish. High Bradfield possesses a Gothic revival church, and the earthworks of a motte and bailey castle. Low Bradfield is less historic, having been largely destroyed in the Great Sheffield flood of 1864.
