Hoober Ward Profile 2019 Description Hoober Lies in the North West of the Borough, with a Population of 14,510 (2017) and an Area of 2,732 Hectares Hoober Ward Profile 2019 Description Hoober lies in the north west of the Borough, with a population of 14,510 (2017) and an area of 2,732 hectares. The ward contains the rural villages of Wentworth, Harley and Nether Haugh, as well as the much larger communities of Brampton and West Melton. The Manor Farm council estate, adjoining Rawmarsh, is also in the ward. The parishes of Wentworth (population 1,420) and Brampton Bierlow (population 4,350) cover most of the ward area. Although most of Hoober ward is rural, the population is concentrated in the more urban areas and proportion of council renting is above average. Deprivation is low in Wentworth but there are some deprived pockets in Brampton and West Melton. Hoober ward features the large stately home of Wentworth Woodhouse and the surrounding parkland. The local landmark of Hoober Stand is located in the centre of the ward and is the highest point in Rotherham. @Crown Copyright.

  • Brampton Bierlow Christ Church in the Mission Partnership of Wath, Wombwell and Brampton Bierlow
    Brampton Bierlow Christ Church In the Mission Partnership of Wath, Wombwell and Brampton Bierlow Releasing the Whole People of God for the Whole Mission of God If you have a passion for Setting God’s People Free, then perhaps the Lord is calling you to be the interim priest in charge at Christ Church, Brampton Bierlow. Here in the Diocese of Sheffield, we are currently re-configuring stipendiary incumbency, as the priestly ministry of enabling every member of the people of God to enter the full dignity of their baptism, by playing a full part in the service of God in the whole of life. This ministry is therefore one of nurturing, developing and fostering the gifts and especially the leadership potential of others — it is a ministry of experimentation and risk-taking, of pioneering, and of sharing in the responsibility of the Bishop for the oversight of the body of Christ ‘delighting in its beauty and rejoicing in its wellbeing’. In the Dearne Valley we have a once in a generation opportunity, through a successful Strategic Development Funding bid, to invest in the future of the church as we seek to ‘transform our society and God’s world’. The post of priest of Christ Church, Brampton Bierlow is integral to this challenge and opportunity. We are, therefore, seeking to appoint an able and resourceful priest whose heart will lift at the invitation to support this congregation, and the Mission Partnership generally, through a transition to a greater degree of every-member confidence and competence, so that the whole people of God are released (in the name of Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit) for the whole mission of God in that locality.

It is a privilege because it allows me to work with, to meet and to engage with staff and volunteers who never fail to impress me with their dedication to the task in hand and their determination of spirit. On behalf of the Board of Trustees I thank you all. This review references the “small but dedicated masterplanning team” that worked tirelessly over the last 12 months to deliver the full masterplan, but the reality is that over 1500 people have contributed to this process in some way. Experienced site operators and management teams, our neighbours, members of the South Yorkshire community, our stakeholders. Their help, input, advice and assistance in the masterplanning process has proved invaluable and enabled the Trustees to consider a variety of options and make informed decisions.

  • The Military Intelligence Corps at Wentworth Woodhouse
    THE MILITARY INTELLIGENCE CORPS AT WENTWORTH WOODHOUSE I originally thought it would be virtually impossible to find anything much about the history of Wentworth Woodhouse during the Second World War, when it was used by the Army, and specifically by the Military Intelligence Corps., because of the Official Secrets Act, or its wartime equivalent; but I find that there is one film about the military use of the House during and after the War; and three published works about the work of the Corps - one history and two memoirs by men who received training at Wentworth Woodhouse.1 The film is particularly exciting, since it was made in 1944 and deals with the motorcycle training course which the Army ran at Wentworth Woodhouse, which lasted three weeks, and aimed to teach recruits, not only how to ride a motorbike but how to maintain one, and eventually how to ‘rough riding’ over an obstacle course, and in particular, how to deal with a machine which stalled while going uphill. Answer: lay the machine on the ground, grapple with it so that it is pointing downhill, pick it up, mount it, and kick-start it so as to go down, before attempting to ride back up again. The film can be viewed online, in two versions, short (15 minutes) and long (28 minutes). Both versions were shot in colour and both have the short title Dear Sergeant; and both are silent, except for the old-style martial music on the longer version. The first may be found at www.yorkshirefilmarchives.com/film, the second at www.hitchcocksmotorcyles.com.2 Each takes us briefly through a course, from the arrival of the new recruits at Elsecar(?) Station, to their first clumsy attempts to ride their machines - some of them have great difficulty in kickstarting them - to their trips out on the road (near Hoober, or up to a village on the moors which looks to me like Bolsterstone, or through the street of a town, which has been identified as Eldon Street, Barnsley).

  • Wentworth Woodhouse First Earl of Strafford
    Wentworth Woodhouse First Earl of Strafford Wentworth Woodhouse, standing in a park of 250 acres & situated about four miles from Rotherham, with its East Front of over 600 feet & its courts & buildings covering three acres or more of ground, is ranked as perhaps the very largest of the country palaces created by our 18th Century Whig Magnates. It was the home of Charles 1st’s ill­fated administrator, Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford. There were Wentworths at Wentworth in the 13th Century & there they continued until 1695. Then, on the death of William 2nd Earl of Strafford, son of the 1st Earl, it passed to Thomas Watson, a son of his sister who had married Edward 2nd Baron Rockingham. He died in 1723 & was succeeded by his only son, Thomas Wentworth, who was created 1st Marquess of Rockingham in 1746 & died in 1750. He was succeeded by his fifth & youngest son, Charles, 2nd & last Marquess of Rockingham, who died in 1782 without issue. Wentworth then passed to William 4th Earl Fitzwilliam, who was the eldest son of the Marquess’ eldest sister who had married the 3rd Earl Fitzwilliam of Milton. It remained in the hands of the Fitzwilliam family until 1989. The house & around 90 acres of land were then bought by Mr Wensley Haydon­Baillie, a businessman, who was here for 10 years. In 1999, it was bought by Mr Clifford Newbold & his family, who were in the process of restoring the house to its former glory upto 2015. Since then the Wentworth preservation Trust have taken over.

There are also 4 other listed buildings within the study area ranging in date from the medieval period to 19th century. There is one undesignated heritage asset within the site, comprising the site of a medieval timber-framed house that was demolished in the 1980s. This site was not included in the Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire AP Mapping Project, so no information is available on the extent of any cropmark features in or adjoining the site. The HEC records present character of the site as Farm Complex 1650-200, with no historic legibility of its former character of Crofts 1066-1649. The site is assigned to the Nucleated Rural Settlements character zone. The 1854 OS map shows the site as within two enclosed fields adjacent to farm buildings, with a path in the western field. The farm complex had been extended by the 1890s with further field boundaries also added. Current and post-1990 APs show the site as residential housing, farm buildings and enclosed greenfields. Known and Potential Heritage Assets There is a high possibility for disturbing remains related to a medieval house and additional evidence relating to the medieval village of West Melton that would be considered to be of regional signifiacnce.

(This exhibition will not travel. Most loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late suitmer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits: This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration with the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. British Airways has been designated the official carrier of the exhibition. History of the exhibition; The idea that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art evolved in discussions with the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery of Art, proposed an exhibition on the British country house as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.
