The ParishThe parish of Wickersley is located in southeast Yorkshire close to its border with neighbouring Nottinghamshire. The parish is located about 3 miles east of the town of Rotherham and is sited on the A631 road which connects Rotherham with the M1 motorway and beyond to Maltby. Wickersley is mining country, although the mines have now closed. The former rural parish is now part of the large built area that is wider Rotherham and Sheffield although there are rural areas to the south of the village. Coal mining supplanted the former industries of quarrying, the local sandstone supplied grindstones to the Sheffield steel industry. The village grew up around the crossroads of the A631 and the B6060 and this is still a major junction within the wider built up area. Wickersley is sited on a ridge of higher ground at about 140 metres above sea level although land falls away to the southwest to around 60 metres where there are streams draining westwards into the River Rother. The parish is quite small for a northern parish at just over 1,200 acres but it supported a healthy population of around 650 parishioners. In Domesday times the land was held by Roger de Bully and was described as waste, although it formerly supported 3 ploughs and woodland pasture. |
