==History==
Evidence of early settlement in the Ecclesfield area include remnants of Romano-British settlements and field systems in Greno Wood. The earliest known written record of Ecclesfield is from the ''Domesday Book'' of 1086, where it is referred to as "Eclesfeld". The meaning of the name is uncertain. Traditionally it has been interpreted to derive from the Celtic ''egles'' meaning a church (specifically a Romano-British church) and the Old English ''feld'' meaning a woodland clearing. Thus the name could mean 'Open land near a Romano-British Christian church’. However, alternative suggestions are that the first element ''eccles-'' derives from a Saxon personal name or an association with water.〔 (wikisource)〕
The ''Domesday Book'' does not mention a church at Ecclesfield. The present day Church of St Mary, largely dates from the late 15th century, but incorporates features dating from about 1200. It was the centre of the ancient parish of Ecclesfield, which was one of the most extensive parishes in England before it was broken up in the 19th century. The Benedictine Ecclesfield Priory was established in the 12th century and operated as a cell of St Wandrille's Abbey in Normandy until the 14th century. It is a Grade I listed building.〔
Ecclesfield had a paper mill in the 1800s.
