Description
This Historic Park and Garden was identified and considered Locally Listed under the Sheffield UDP and UDP Policy BE21, which can be seen here: https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2022-07/03-udp-built-environment.pdf . The supporting document, which contains the schedule of identified Historic Parks & Gardens, can be seen here: https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/sites/default/files/docs/planning-and-development/sheffield-plan/Historic%20Parks%20%26%20Gardens.pdf. As a result, the park and all its associated features has been included in the current Local Heritage List for South Yorkshire.
The gardens are in good condition with their layout intact and some original planting. They contribute greatly to the character of the Conservation Area and form the setting for an important group of Listed Buildings, the Shrewsbury Hospital Almshouses, which were built by the Duke of Norfolk in 1825.
The gardens are bisected by a cobbled path leading from the main entrance gates to the Chapel and perimeter paths surround two lawns with square island beds containing mature cherry and rhododendron. There are also mature lime, birch, horse chestnut, oak and sycamore, some planted in avenues. There are also two original gas lamps.
