James Hounsfield (31 August 1813- 9 July 1902) was a British Squire, and landowner notable for rebuilding Hackenthorpe Hall.

Early Life

James was born in Sheffield to Thomas Hounsfield. In 1845 he married Ann Jermyn Sheppard who inherited Hackenthorpe Hall in the village of Hackenthorpe through her mother Mary Jermyn. Mary was the daughter of John Jermyn and Alice Newbould, and Alice's father John Newbould built Hackenthorpe Hall in 1653.[1][2]

James and his wife are recorded as living at Hackenthorpe Hall by 1864, and in 1875 he completely rebuilt it, leaving only the original stone inscription bearing the initials of John and Alice Newbould, and the date 1653.

In 1893 James built a leisure room for the local workmen. The population at the time was largely made up of Sickle and Scythe smiths working at the local Thomas Staniforth & Co works. The room, known locally as the Reading Room contained a full sized Billiards table and a public reading room.[3][4]

James also founded the Hackenthorpe Cricket Club and the family kept a connection to cricket as his great grandson Thomas Hounsfield played for Derbyshire County Cricket Club.[5]

James also went onto serve as Vice Chairman for the first and second School Boards for Beighton, and donated £250 towards the building of Christ Church, Hackenthorpe.[6]
