Pedigree of More of More Hall
>More Hall in Bolsterstone stood in a valley near the River Don with Views of Wharncliffe Woods.
In 1597, Francis Towers of Hayton, Nottinghamshire, grandson of William Towers and Dorothy More, one of six daughters and co-heirs of Thomas More, the last More to reside at More Hall, sold the place to George Blount of Eckington for £400. George Blount was the eldest son of Robert Blount, one of twenty children of Sir Thomas Blount of Kinlet, Shropshire.
In 1727 Nicholas Steade, son of Thomas Steade of Onesacre, died while in possession of More Hall. It passed to his son, Thomas and his son Nicholas resided on the estate. About 1798 More Hall was sold to Mr. Samuel Deakin of Sheffield, a merchant.
The Dragon of Wantley is connected with More of More Hall and Sir Thomas Wortley, but thats another story.
