Eldest son of Thomas Shiercliffe and Mary Wilson, doctor of medicine.
Husband of Mary Ibbotson, married in 1682.
Died without issue 22 Jan 1685 and proved 22 June of the following year, and was buried in the south chancel floor of St Mary's church in Ecclesfield. His property was passed on to his brother, Nathaniel.
"He settled his estates in the manors in Sheffield and Ecclesfield on his three brothers in succession and their heirs, with the remainder to Nicholas Shiercliffe of Sheffield."
He and Mary's initials are carved into a doorway of the east wing in Whitley Hall, which was completed in 1683. Nicholas was considered to be the 'wicked Shiercliffe' as he was involved in lawsuits of his making. He was reported to have been so obese that when he died, his body had to be removed from the house by cutting out a wall in the second story as no doorway or window on that level was large enough for him to be taken through. He is said to haunt the first floor of the east wing.
