Hillsborough, Sheffield — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Hillsborough?

Six entries stand under Hillsborough. Hillsborough Park heads them, and beside it sit Burrowlee House, the Church of St John the Baptist with its attached boundary wall and gates, and Wadsley Hall together with the adjoining barns and stables listed as part of it. The Yorkshire Natural History Museum follows.

Last comes the Caretakers House at Hillsborough Schools, a small entry that rounds out a register weighted toward houses and one church.

What is the history of Hillsborough?

The founding year is not recorded. What Hillsborough keeps instead are buildings: Wadsley Hall with its barns and stables, Burrowlee House, and the Church of St John the Baptist whose boundary wall and gates are listed alongside the church itself. Schools left a mark too.

The Caretakers House at Hillsborough Schools survives as a listed entry in its own right, while the Yorkshire Natural History Museum and Hillsborough Park account for the two entries that are not houses or churches.
