Carsick Hall is notable in the area for being built on an old Roman road, near what is now known as Hallam Head. The property sits on a plot inhabited since the writing of the original Domesday Book.[2]
Carsick Hall was built in 1842 by Reginald Wood for William Creswick of the renowned Creswick's Silversmiths of Sheffield.[3] A building of this age is rare in Sheffield due to the effects of the German Blitz.[4]
'Carsick' is derived from 'Carr', meaning wet woodland and 'Sick' or 'Syke' meaning stream or valley. Carsick Brook passes through the grounds of the hall on its way to the Ponderosa [5]
