Places to see in ( Bawtry - UK )
Bawtry is a small market town and civil parish which lies at the point where the western branch of the Roman road Ermine Street crosses the River Idle in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England and met the Great North Road. Nearby towns include Gainsborough to the east, Retford south south-east, Worksop to the south-west and Doncaster to the north-west. Historically within the West Riding of Yorkshire.
Bawtry is located in the metropolitan borough of Doncaster on the border with Nottinghamshire, and is situated between Bircotes and Misson at the conjunction of the A614, A631 and A638 roads. The present A638 was for centuries the Great North Road, and in the 20th century the town was a notorious bottleneck, until it was bypassed in 1965. The county boundary with Nottinghamshire runs just to the south of the town and for this reason the southernmost house on the Great North Road is named 'Number One Yorkshire'.
The town's former prosperity was based on its communications, the River Idle in the days when it was a port, the Great North Road in the coaching era, and the Great Northern Railway.
Bawtry has a school called Bawtry Mayflower School named after the ship Mayflower, which took William Bradford, leader of the Pilgrims, to the Americas, settling the first Plymouth Colony. Bradford lived at Austerfield, close to Bawtry. The White Hart in Swan Street is the oldest surviving pub in Bawtry dating back to 1689. The older Swan Inn, also in Swan Street, is still intact, but converted to other uses.
South Parade is a terrace of Georgian houses. The Market Hill and High Street contain other buildings of that period, interspersed with more recent developments. The Courtyard in Bawtry is a modern development hosting a variety of shops and businesses. The entire development was designed by Graham Smith Design, who went on to win the Green Apple Awards 2005 in recognition of the efforts to preserve and enhance the heritage of Bawtry.

MISSON: Bassetlaw Parish #3 of 66
Back into Nottinghamshire again now, and get ready because these Bassetlaw parishes are going to come thick and fast. Most of the district is parished, with only the towns of Worksop and Retford being unparished areas. We've already seen two of the 66 parishes in this district, and the two in question are sort of on a limb as far as the rest of them go, because Shireoaks and Rhodesia sit to the West of Worksop, only bordering each other and not bordering any other parish of Bassetlaw.
However, they aren't alone in the district insofar as being inaccessible from another Bassetlaw parish goes. Oh no. Sometimes, boundaries of any kind throw up some access problems. It's physically impossible to get to today's parish from ANYWHERE else in Bassetlaw without driving out of the district and into Doncaster or North Lincolnshire. The reason for that is, unless you're prepared to swim it, the River Idle is in your way.
We're at the very top of Nottinghamshire here - you simply cannot go any further North - this is the parish that has that pointy bit at the top if you look at on a map of the county. It's bounded by the aforementioned districts and on one road you can drive through Nottinghamshire from South Yorkshire and into Lincolnshire all within a matter of seconds.
The main village here is quirky itself too, being home to an ancient medieval moated site, the first ever church school in the UK, and one of the finest village greens I've ever had the pleasure to stand upon. Take in the lovely 1,000 year old White Horse pub or of you prefer the Angel Inn, spend some time admiring the beauty of typical Nottinghamshire-style buildings or even have a look at some former military vehicles.
Above all, enjoy the gorgeous little parish of MISSON.

FINNINGLEY: Doncaster Parish #26 of 43
Time to look now at the other parish that shares Doncaster Sheffield Airport with Austerfield, and highly significantly, this is the one that gave it's name to the RAF base where the airport was constructed. No surprise then that this area is no stranger to all things aviation-wise, with history going back over a century when the RAF base was first built on a strip of land at Bancroft Farm.
Perhaps the defining feature of the main village though is not the airport, but much more likely the duck pond in the centre, well maintained and attractive on The Green. The huge playing field shared with it's neighbour, Blaxton., only adds to the village's lovely features, complete with tennis courts, a playground and fabulous cricket pavilion.
St Oswalds Primary School takes it's name from the church, partially, which has a long and storied history in itself, and the graveyards here also remind you of the war, with an area completely reserved for RAF burials. This place seemingly has a fair share of things to get your teeth into, and although it's quite small, the residents of this place know that it has many an attraction and they're proud to live, work and play within it's boundaries.
That's before we've even considered the old abandoned farmhouse in the centre that despite my best efforts, I couldn't find any information for. I'm relying on the locals to work their magic with that one!
Above all, I think as Doncaster parishes go, you'd be hard pushed to find anywhere quite like FINNINGLEY.

AUSTERFIELD: Doncaster Parish #25 of 43
Alright guys another Doncaster parish today, meaning two in a row! Not something I usually want to do, but last week I heavily focused on Doncaster, so there's a lot more of the borough to come this week. I've got some more Bassetlaw and Barnsley ones coming in couple of days time though, so fear not everyone!
So today's parish is probably one of the borough's most historically important. This is the place where one of the Pilgrim Fathers, Willaim Bradford, was born and baptized before he became a pioneer of the New World. There's a crazy amount of references to him in this village, from Willaim Bradford Close, to a pub and eatery named after his ship, The Mayflower.
The story of the Pilgrim Fathers might dominate the village, but there's plenty of other things to see here too. The Mosaic Reserve is a prime example of that - a literal mosaic of flora and fauna which is used by the neighbouring Study Centre, educating the local children about the environment, all on an old sand quarry.
Then there's a major industrial unit, as well as two borehole pumping stations that drill into the Doncaster aquifer providing the surrounding area with drinking water. As if that wasn't enough, South Yorkshire's only airport - Doncaster Sheffield Airport, also known as Robin Hood - is shared between this parish and neighbouring Finningley, although as an international airport, it belongs to neither.
There's a lot going on in a village that doesn't have a massive population. You're never far away from something interesting in the parish of AUSTERFIELD.

HARWORTH & BIRCOTES: Bassetlaw Parish #23 of 66
In Bassetlaw there are two CPs which have town status. One of them is the very historic town of Tuxford which lies to the South of the District, bordering Newark and Sherwood. The other is the Northern town we find ourselves in today. By stark contrast to Tuxford, this parish doesn't have the same kind of history and stories around it, and in fact, this one is practically a Yorkshire town in all but location. South Yorkshire even runs along the edge of this place, and in close proximity to Bawtry and Tickhill, and with a Doncaster phone number and postcode, you are practically in an extension of the Doncaster MBC.
The only clues that tell you this is indeed Nottinghamshire come in the form of the various bus stops dotted around the place with the Nottinghamshire CC logo all over them. Otherwise, you have to say this is Yorkshire. It's a coal mining town, which is VERY South Yorkshire let's be honest, and plenty of the houses in and around it resemble model villages we've seen in parts of Doncaster and Rotherham.
One thing that this place has is a famed former resident who is buried in the cemetery at the far West of the village. Tom Simpson was a World Champion cyclist who dies whilst in the Tour De France in 1967 and everywhere around this town you will find references to him, from the colliery to the sports ground to the park named after him. A true local legend if ever there was one.
If you come here you'll find many Simpson related themes, but you'll also find new developments all over the place, as houses here are permitted to be built as part of a designated growth zone, meaning the 8,000 or so population will surely grow much much more yet.
Take it all in, enjoy the sights and sounds of one of Bassetlaw's biggest parishes. This is the lovely little town of HARWORTH & BIRCOTES.

TORWORTH: Bassetlaw Parish #6 of 66
Moving back over into Bassetlaw today and this one's got a lot of natural goodness about it, flavoured with a hint of old Norse history and a whole lot of emphasis on the Great North Road, which it lies upon.
Whilst most traffic will just rush through on a daily basis, it really shouldn't, and for those that do stay for a while, they get the glorious Daneshill Lakes nature reserve to wander around, and if they so desired they could have a wander too around the small, yet perfect in it's own way, village too.
Here they would find a small playing field hidden away in one corner. There's a pub too, but it's no longer open as it is being renovated into some new homes for the village. Speaking of homes, we also see in the video a house worth well over £700,000! The village is a member too of the STAR Millennium Pathway, which is an acronym of the three villages which make it a thing.
By far though, if you come here, you're coming for Daneshill, and why not? There are two beautiful lakes surrounded on all sides by a fabulous nature reserve built on the remnants of some old gravel pits. I for one was certainly tempted to stay a bit longer and wander around the lakes in full, and I highly recommend that you do if you ever go.
There's some debate to how you pronounce the name of this one, but either way it's spelt the same - TORWORTH.

BAWTRY: Doncaster Parish #30 of 43
Today we're looking at perhaps one of Doncaster's most important towns. The borough has a few parishes that are classified as such, having a TOWN council rather than a parish council but I don't think any of them are quite as important as this one, and strangely, this is one of the smallest towns you'll find in South Yorkshire.
The importance of this place dates back to the 1100s when it was a vital port on the River Idle. Whilst the port may no longer exist, through the ages the town has served as a point on the map that people have used as a major reference, being ideally located at a crossroads between the East Midlands towns of Newark, Retford and Gainsborough, and the South Yorkshire towns of Rotherham and Doncaster. Without this place, the area around would not be what it is today.
The Market Place, or the main square as it's sometimes called, houses many an interesting building, including the gorgeous Town Hall, the luxurious Crown Hotel and the Dower House, and that's before we even consider the Hall, built by a Wakefield wool merchant and used as a popular wedding venue.
You're not short of iconic landmarks either. The viaduct carries the East Coast Main Line on it's way to London, there's the beautiful Methodist Church on the junction of Station Road, there's The Courtyard, an award winning shopping precinct and arguably one of the most famed houses in all of Yorkshire - Number One.
Far too much to include everything in one video, but the heritage trail information board condenses it down and made that little bit easier for me to have a go at the town of BAWTRY.

HAUGHTON: Bassetlaw Parish #22 of 66
As parishes go I question sometimes why ones like this one even exist. This is a tiny parish, even smaller than the smallest ones we've seen so far on the channel. It it ridiculously tiny this one. There are fewer than twenty properties in the village and I use that term so so loosely because there is no village here to speak of.
Si what IS here? Well there's a lot of open farmland. This is a parish set in the Meden Valley, between the Meden and the Maun. It's got a few properties, yes, and the ones that are here are hugely expensive seeing as they are related to or indeed actually ARE the old watermill that used to work on the Maun
Running diagonally through the parish is a disused railway line that fed Bevercotes Colliery during it's existence, and we actually get to have a look at that close up in this video. There's a disused sports ground too, which was owned by Bothamsall's Cricket Club, the Exiles, that have moved now to Retford CC.
Apart from that...there isn't much else! Or IS there? Well in fact there's a much bigger thing here that goes beyond the parish boundaries. AT one time in the very distant past there was a Hall here, demolished in 1770, there are still some remnants of it around, but perhaps the biggest remnant going is the 900 acre park that it once stood it...and this parish's open farmland formed a part of it!
On the border with Newark and Sherwood, this is a tiny, almost non existent parish...butt dig a bit deeper and you'll see there's more than you think to the parish of HAUGHTON.

BLAXTON: Doncaster Parish #27 of 43
OK people, today sees TVI put up his last video in which he isn't wearing the new TVI hi-vis! I don't tend to put the videos up in the order I record them, I like to make sure I space out the areas so that I'm not focusing my efforts too much in one district in one go. I find it much easier for people to keep up with me too, that way!
Technical stuff aside, this one is a little longer than I originally thought it was going to be, and that's because I've managed to bulk it out with a nice shot of a plane leaving DSA - weirdly in both the Austerfield and Finningley video's I never got that chance!
Regardless, the village in question here does have some good things in it to see. There's the old Finningey station for starters, which is now overgrown and abandoned, but the old buildings associated with it are still here. Speaking of old buildings there's an old Wesleyan chapel on Mosham Road, complete with it's extension built in the 1960's. and all that is before we've even considered the likes of the Blue Bell pub on the main roundabout.
There's also a small village hall and a BT telephone exchange here too, and don't forget the Sports Field belonging to Hill House School. That's a lot for a village with such a small population!
Sharing Finningley Park and half of Lower Pasture, this place is Finningley's smaller brother. This is BLAXTON.

EAST DRAYTON: Bassetlaw Parish #24 of 66
Into Bassetlaw again today and to a lovely little village that I really enjoyed looking around. This one is almost the quintessential rural English village in fact. You have everything here. The church, the village hall, the old red phone box, the cricket club, some streams passing through, a nice village green, a pub, some nice walks in and around, and a good strong community behind it all.
It's just a shame though I was not made to feel welcome here. We'll get to that at the end of the video, but please don't let the beauty of this lovely village to the South East of Retford be overlooked because of what you're about to see here. I have done my best to make sure that this video still checks all the usual boxes, and I have presented it in the same way as I have all the others.
A village that has a population of 252 and has won the Best Kept Village Award for settlements with under 300 residents some ten times since 1974 should be a village that is proud to be what it is. I think there's more than just a bit of a case for that here. The church, when lit up at night for example is shown off fantastically well and compliments what the place is all about.
One of the most interesting thing about this village is the bus stop. Dedicated to something of a local hero, if you want to catch a bus here you have to pre-book, because out here in the sticks, buses are not in the greatest of demand. This is known as being in a Demand Responsive Area, and there's a few more villages just like this in Bassetlaw.
Perhaps the strangest video I will ever record. You need to watch this one to the end to understand why. This is EAST DRAYTON.

NORTH KILWORTH: Harborough Parish #2 of 91
HARBOROUGH PARISH #2: NORTH KILWORTH
The Parish of North Kilworth lies within the Laughton Hills landscape character area of South Leicestershire, close to the River Avon that forms the County boundary with Northamptonshire.
Most of the Parish is underlain by clay, but North Kilworth itself is situated on one of several locally-important hilltop areas of gravel, which is an aquifer, explaining the settlement’s ancient location
North Kilworth Village lies approximately 1.5 miles west of Husbands Bosworth and 4 miles east of junction 20 of the M1 motorway. It is within easy reach of the city of Leicester
An ancient place, in the Domesday Book it was called Chivelesworde which means ‘Ceofel’s wooded enclosure’. It’s believed to have been in existence for some 200 years earlier than that
The village is largely to the south of the A4304 – the main Lutterworth to Market Harborough Road with limited developments to the north of the road.
North Kilworth has always been mainly agricultural. In the 19th century The Royal Implement works was here. Many of their goods went to Royal estates like Sandringham and Windsor
In the 1800s, the railway made an appearance here, but that has since gone. North Kilworth has a few notable features like Kilworth House Hotel and Theatre, and an area known as The Bogs
We’ll explain both of those as we walk around another gorgeous Harborough village!

CARLTON IN LINDRICK: Bassetlaw Parish #57 of 66
The 2011 Census recorded a parish population of 5,623 – one of only two in the entire district of Bassetlaw to record a population of over 5,000 and it’s second only to Harworth and Bircotes. It includes that of Wallingwells. Despite being the second biggest in the district, this is not a town. Those rights are reserved solely for Harworth and Bircotes, and Tuxford.
Lindrick denotes the land of the linden or lime tree. Indeed, the name is derived from the Old English for raised, straight strip marked by lime trees. Lindrick was the name of an ancient district, most of which is now in South Yorkshire. Such places as North and South Anston and parts of Tickhill and Maltby, including Roche Abbey were in Lindrick
This is a modern parish made up of four small settlements which over time have merged together with the onset of urbanisation. These are North Carlton, South Carlton, Costhorpe and Wigthorpe, although Wigthorpe remains semi-detached from the others. What we know to be North Carlton had a different name - Kingston-in-Carlton – and was anciently so called from being the King's manor
For notable people, how about Kathleen Scott better known as Baroness Kennet. Scott was an English sculptor, born Kathleen Bruce in 1878, the youngest child of the Anglican rector. Her husband was Captain Robert Falcon Scott the Antarctic explorer. Scott is also the mother of the artist, ornithologist and painter Peter Scott.
In much more recent times, it grew greatly thanks to the presence of a coal mine – we’ve heard this story before haven’t we? The mine in question would also be the reason for neighbouring Langold’s development. We’ll talk more about the mine and its history in the Hodsock episode. Now though, housebuilder Keepmoat Homes owns the former Firbeck Colliery site and plan to turn it into 400 two-, three- and four-bedroom homes. The development shall be known as Osprey View
That of course will increase the already massive population. Let’s see what it looks like now before it grows even larger. Welcome to CARLTON IN LINDRICK.

Pride Edinburgh is the longest running free celebration of the LGBT community in Scotland.
Pride Edinburgh is took place this weekend for its 26th event. The event has run for 28 years in the capital city and is the longest running LGBTQIA+ celebration in Scotland. The exciting showpiece will see thousands of people take to the streets to celebrate diversity.
The chair, Brett Herriot, for Pride Edinburgh discussed the return of the event in a welcome letter that said: “2023 sees us returning to the growth point we were at in 2019, with the return of our outdoor arena and our spectacular giant pride carpet alongside the full festival village event hosted by our partners EUSA across their Potterrow and Teviot House complex. Who could have known it would have taken four years to reach this point especially as this is our second event since the easing of pandemic restrictions.”
This year, the theme of the event is “United”. When discussing the reason behind the decision on this year’s theme Herriot said: “Since we were last together in 2022, we as a community have looked on in pride at the Passing of The GRR Bill by the Scottish parliament only for it to turn to horror at its blocking by the UK Government. The impact of this decision is felt deeply by the Transgender community with rising transphobic incidents being reported daily.
“The bigoted fuel this has given to Terfs is staggering and is a potent reminder on why the Pride March matters. To every single member of the community we see you, we hear you and we stand shoulder to shoulder with you. Hence why the theme of this year’s event is Pride Edinburgh 2023: UNITED.”
