HALLAM (NETHER), a township in that part of
the parish of SHEFFIELD which is in the southern
division of the wapentake of STRAFFORTH-AND-TICKHILL,
West riding of the county of YORK, 2 miles (W.)
from Sheffield, containing 3200 inhabitants. A schoolroom
was erected many years ago at Upper Keely, by subscription
among the inhabitants, who also purchased land
towards its support; the annual income, including the
proceeds of £ 150 bequeathed by Thomas Chapman in
1801, is about £18, for which sum eighteen children
are instructed. Another school-room was erected by
subscription in 1791, with a dwelling-house for the
master; it is partly supported by means of a bequest
of £100 from William Roncksley, in 1723, and partly
from land allotted under the enclosure act in 1794;
thirty children are taught to read in the school.
