Hollow Meadows
The area formed part of the chase of Rivelin until the late 16th-century, and was used for occasional deer hunting by the Duke of Norfolk.[1][2] By the time John Harrison surveyed the area, in 1637, it had been converted to pasture for grazing sheep, and totalled 429 acres.In 1831, Isaac Bright, a prominent Jewish jeweller based in Sheffield, acquired a plot at Rod Moor, and began to construct mausoleums for his family.Paupers were initially put to work clearing the land and constructing the building, which included a dining room and dormitories.Despite a high initial outlay, the farm started to turn a profit, but the management of the scheme was criticised as overly lax.
