Ughill
Ughill is a small rural hamlet within the City of Sheffield in Bradfield Parish in England. It is located eight km west-northwest of the city centre. It stands in a lofty position at 280 metres (918 feet) above sea level on a ridge between Bradfield Dale and the valley of the Ughill Brook. It has traditionally been a farming community but there was some mining in the area in the late 19th and 20th century. Ughill Hall was the scene of an infamous murder in September 1986.
==History==
Ughill is thought to have been founded in the 10th century by a group of Norwegian Vikings with the name deriving from the Old Norse language as Uhgil meaning Uha's Valley or Uggagil meaning Uggi's Valley. In the Old Norse language, gil is a steep-sided valley.〔( Worrall family from Ughill ) Gives details of name meaning.〕 Ughill was one of six small estates in Hallamshire named in the Domesday Book of 1086, these included the nearby settlements of Holdworth, Worrall and Onesacre. Just prior to the Norman conquest of England Ughill had developed into an Anglo-Saxon farming holding under the control of Healfdene or Aldene who was Lord of approximately 50 settlements, mainly across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Suffolk.〔( Open Domesday ) Gives details of Healfdene‘s settlements.〕 After the Conquest ownership of Ughill was taken over by Roger de Busli who was given large swathes of land across Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire for his part in the Conquest. In the Domesday Book Ughill had a taxable value of 1.8 geld units with two plough lands and one league of woodland.〔( Open Domesday ) Gives details of Ughill in Domesday Book.〕
Ughill was mentioned in documents in the late 13th century when the Lord of Hallamshire Thomas de Furnival granted local herbage rights to Ellys and all men of Ughill. Around 1290, the first mention of the Ughil family was recorded in the manor when John the son of John de Ughil was mentioned in a deed, Adam de Ughil and Roger de Ughil were mentioned at a later date, so the surname had become hereditary but it did not survive. By the 15th century, the Marriott family had settled in Ughill, they were another Norman family who rose from modest beginnings to become minor gentry throughout Hallamshire. John Marriott took over a farm in the low lying part of Ughill in 1442 and was succeeded at the farm by several generations of John Marriotts up to the 17th century. Thomas Marriott (1679–1754) became Lord of the Manor in the early part of the 18th century, where he was styled Mr Marrott of Ughill Hall. Marriott was a Dissenter who in 1743 built Underbank Chapel, four km to the east at Stannington. Thomas was succeeded by his brother Benjamin but the male lineage then failed, ending the Marriotts family’s connection with Ughill after 300 years.〔( Rotherhamweb ) The Marriotts of Ughill.〕〔''"Historic Hallamshire"'', David Hey, Landmark Collectors Library, ISBN 1 84306 049 3, Gives general history of Ughill.〕
