The ParishWales is a chapelry within the dispersed parish of Laughten en le Morthen in southern Yorkshire. The chapelry forms part of the border with neighbouring Derbyshire. Wales is about 10 miles southeast of the industrial city of Sheffield. The village sits astride the B6059 road which runs south of and parallel to the busy A57 road which links Sheffield to the Nottinghamshire town of Worksop. Wales is a compact village, much grown from industry from its humble origins, built largely along the B6059 and via minor roads to its north and south, the village sits just east of the M1 motorway from London to the northeast. Wales grew from a largely agricultural village through the development of coal mining, its population grew accordingly. Prior to mining the main employer was arable & pastoral agriculture with a mixture of both operating in the area. Wales is located on the western edge of a plateau, at about 110 metres above sea level, land falls away to the west into the valley of the River Rother, a river which is ultimately headed for the North Sea via the Humber Estuary. The chapelry covered a relatively small area of around 1,200 acres and supported around 350 parishioners, although much of this growth postdated this transcript period. In Domesday times Wales was held largely by one Roger of Bully and supported an impressive 40 ploughs as well as a small area of productive woodland. |
