Beauchief and Greenhill ward—which includes the districts of Batemoor, Beauchief, Chancet Wood, Greenhill, Jordanthorpe, and Low Edges—is one of the 28 electoral wards in City of Sheffield, England.
Beauchief (grid reference SK333817) is a former village that has become a suburb of Sheffield.
Beauchief, generally pronounced "bee-chief", is notable for two buildings, still surrounded by parkland: Beauchief Abbey, long since converted into a parish church, and Beauchief Hall.
Beauchief Abbey is an abbey in Sheffield, England.
Farming on the Beauchief estate and on outlying manors was important and the monastery also controlled iron smelting, mineral extraction, woodland industries and mills on the River Sheaf.
The Abbey was dissolved in 1537 and the estate became the property of Sir Nicholas Strelley, from whom it descended to the Pegge and Burnell families.
