Ickles Hall
Ickles Hall was on the south side of Sheffield Road. Ickles had been owned by the Reresby family since 1250. Their main residence was at Thrybergh so Ickles Hall was used as a dower property or as a home for the eldest son. In 1587 the mediaeval house was demolished by Thomas Reresby and a new property was built. I believe that at the time the Reresby family owned the land on which the Roman fort at Templeborough stood and that they used the remains as a quarry for the new house. A western wing including a banqueting hall was added in 1610 and an eastern wing in 1620. By the Eighteenth Century the house had passed by a series of marriages into the Fullerton family who let it as a farmhouse. In 1905 the west wing was demolished and the Hall was later sold to the United Steel Companies Ltd. Ickles Hall was abandoned and its ground became part of the steel company's scrap yard. It was demolished in 1939 and the site is part of Steel, Peech and Tozer, now Corus.
