Welcome ! This is a blog for people who want to be a friend of Wincobank Hill, for those who are fascinated, curious or concerned about the unique hill fort set high above Sheffield's Don Valley, encircled by ancient woodland that conceals the mysteries of history.

Who was here and why? Did they live, work or keep watch here? What part did this place play in the politics of an emerging nation? Was this the cradle of the British metal industry? And where was the water?

So many people are beginning to retell their stories, ask good questions and make suggestions that it's time to share what is happening ....

Our Member of Parliament, the Right Honourable David Blunkett visited Upper Wincobank Undenominational Chapel today for an informal family service led by the Reverend Inderjit Bhogal OBE.
Afterwards, David sat down with members of the Chapel for a cup of tea. Together, they discussed plans to found a Heritage Education Centre of national status that will honour the work of celebrated Victorian philanthropist Mary Anne Rawson of Wincobank Hall and provide visitors with information about Wincobank Hill.
