WELCOME TO ROSSINGTON HALL

 
Data Fata Secutus – Following My Destiny…
 

The land that is now Rossington Hall estate was part of Rossington Common, which originally belonged to the Salvyn family and was let to the Earl of Northumberland during the reign of Henry VI.

In 1771 Doncaster Corporation elected Mr James Stovin as town clerk and a year after this leased him the Rossington Estate. James moved in to the newly constructed mansion, then named ‘Shooters Hill’, around 1778.

From 1801, Michael Humble lived at the mansion for 20 years after which he then let the house to Major Hilton in 1822, and then to Richard Francis Alexander Freeman Esq in 1838. In 1838 the estate sold to James Brown Esq. Mr Brown unfortunately passed away in 1845 aged just 59 and the estate was passed onto his son, James Brown Junior. Mr Brown occupied the home until his death in 1877 and the estate was inherited by his closest living relative, Richard James Streatfield.
